  1. Wow I’m glad that’s all cleared up. Nothing to see here. Please move on.
  2. Again, humour is a beautiful teaching tool.
  3. Can we finally all agree that our PK needs some major overhauling. It is not a pretty sight.
  4. I hear what you're saying and for the many significant issues we continue to face in this world this is a great approach and reasonable people will continue to advocate for it. However specifically when it comes this global pandemic and the death and destruction left in it's wake, I struggle with this statement, specifically around your use of the word reasonable. Maybe 5 to 18 months ago while the science community and public heath experts tried (and still are learning more) to figure out how best to deal with the pandemic absolutely. But now? Reasonable people still need convincing in how to help themselves and others (e.g., vaccines, hand washing, mask wearing etc) to thwart off the impacts of this pandemic? At what point when there is loads of hard evidence available do you drop the word reasonable to describe people who still resist and/or advocate for giving people a platform to suggest the world is flat and/or the Sun sets in the East etc etc?
  5. Nope, from what I've seen here, I think most people (not all) do indeed want to ensure we get it right and not want to be self-righteous by belittling others when it comes to getting this pandemic under control. I'm thinking most of us didn't want to inject foreign substances into our bodies if we didn't need to. But Science is getting it right. What indicators would tell one no amount of convincing is working, no amount of tailoring one's approach to help the other person understand using the strongest evidence available is working to change their mind? Once that's been determined that we've hit that threshold that no amount of respectful convincing will help, what do you do with that person? Keep doing the same things? I really liked how Lester Holt put it using the Sun as an example: “The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the west is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our time or attention.” If people and their livelihoods are being hurt by the 'argument' that the Sun sets in the East or are just skeptical about the Sun sets in the West , how much time should we be using to convince people that the sun sets in the west if we've exhausted every possible respectful way in trying to do that? Because at some point, as you ironically wrote, nothing is going to change if we give our time and our attention to people either arguing against fact or people who say we should respectfully give people a platform who argue against fact. The longer this 'hear from all sides' approach, i.e., alternative arguments to the analogy Sun sets in the West lingers on, specifically when it comes to getting this pandemic under control we're going to pay heavily and not in a good way but yea lets make sure we don't offend anyone who respects an argument that the Sun sets in the East. Tolerance levels are being heavily tested by those who still believe in giving, as Adam Grant would say, serious consideration to the strongest evidence available even when it contradicts our hopes, beliefs and biases.
  6. Definitely a guy like DW seems to be a repeat offender but to be fair I think it's a league wide issue with receivers getting away with pushing off (including our sacred Bomber receivers). It's rarely called. I've always felt offense gets a huge advantage when it comes to what one can and can't do when fighting for the ball.
  7. I'm purely guessing but I think CS remains 100% committed and focused to continuing to try to secure a spot in a NFL system. The CFL is currently only on his radar from a cheering perspective.
  8. Omg there goes our PP.
  9. Please don’t use that word. It’s ruined forever. These same boo birds are the same ones posting on social media how they knew all along the Bombers would win the game.
  10. Yup but I’m giving Dane a bit more cred from what I saw of him last week. He looked jacked as in the zone against the Argoblows. Message to me is ensure he never gets into a rhythm knowing tho him and Masoli will have a lot more to deal with our D. Also ensure Banks has his palms out all game shaking his head as he sulks back to his bench.
  11. Great answer from Lucky tbh. I actually felt bad for ZC on her post game interview. He was literally shaking he was so cold but doing his best to answer her questions and stay engaged. I was talking to the tv trying to get her to let him go he’s freezing he needs to go warm up.
  12. Yup that's why ZC and Dane are going to be the starting QB's in the 2021 Grey Cup final.
  13. I see some things never change over the years. When the crappy leafs score in our building, it sounds like we scored based on the cheer. Ugh. Leafs, Riders suck.
  14. Yup not even in the same discussion as our ZC. Not his best game as a BB but I like the feeling even when ZC struggles you know he’ll work thru them. He’s got that Tom Clements feel to him. Here’s hoping for a 2nd Grey Cup ring on his hand as a Winnipeg Blue Bomber.
  15. Maybe lucky isn’t the right word. Fortunate that their D was causing these multiple turnovers after bending quite far but unfortunate for your team their O couldn’t turn it into anything.
  16. 7 if you include Legs weird unsuccessful third down run. As soon as he caught the snap he was looking to throw an out. I think there was a miscommunication with him and the ST of what the call was.
  17. Harris number one for sure. Tandem of Jefferson and Jeffcoat number two for containment for the most part. Oline group number three cause Harris can’t do it on his own Honourable mention goes to Castillo for making our lead 4 points cause more than likely OT happens if not. Also the BB fans who went to the game. Well done. Eek how can I miss Bob Irving. Thank you for the many years of enjoyment you gave us. Many more good fortunes for you in whatever you do now.
  18. Playing football outdoor in the prairies, who saw it coming? If Powell is more aware and bounces outside on that 3rd down gamble they were successful on late in the game the ending might have been different. Thank goodness he’s no Harris.
  19. Is Suitor providing colour for the Grey Cup game? If so what will he talk about because CF did not achieve that legacy drive he was so hoping for.
  20. The one angle I thought clearly showed the tip of the ball on the turf. I’m confused what did I miss? DW clearly pushed off as well but that’s very rarely called so I’m not upset at that but huh ball on turf usually means no catch.
  21. Shut down CF’s running and DW and force the rest to try to do something.
  22. We just have to win by 1 point. We just have to win by 1 point. We just have to win by 1 point. Ball security, ball security, ball security.
  23. Pretty accurate statement.
  24. Give them confidence by turning it over 5 times and this is what happens on their first drive until that turnover. Make them pay now.
  25. CF is going to try to use his legs more in the second half. Contain contain contain. Ball security ball security ball security.
