  1. Frickin Eskimokes puts some crazy magnats in da ball!
  2. I have a good friend working on the parliament hill reno's and this project as well. He told me that Harper nixed the restoration projects when he moved to 24 Sussex because he didn't want his family living in an ongoing construction zone. Can't blame him even though I've lived in a constant construction zone for nearly a decade with little damage to family life other then my wife not speaking to me for most of the last five. I agree with Maureen McTeer who suggested the house be torn down and re-built from scratch with a modern design and building techniques as the $14 mill. saved on the reno's. could still build a pretty nice shack. 24 Sussex is not an iconic building like the White House and most Canadians would be hard pressed to identify it from a photo. The building's historical significance is fairly insignificant, so what's the loss?
  3. I like to wear my belt much the same way but higher up at chest level.
  4. For a second there I thought you meant The Band... which would be awesome... although I don't believe they are still together... Back in 2000 I believe the Guess Who's instruments were pre-recorded while Burt did sing live. Something about the cold affecting guitars? The cold weather would absolutely affect the tuning... legit reason in my books This would make it worth the price of the ticket... but I'm not holding my breath.... The Band would be great but they'd have a few problems performing a live show. 3 dead and counting but if the music is canned anyway, why the hell not?
  5. I'd be surprised if Benevides, Steinhauer or Thorpe would be interested in a coordinator's position at this point, especially with a club in worse shape then the ones they left. There is probably an average of two HC openings most years in the CFL and these guys are at the top of the waiting list.
  6. Don't contact any team during the season. The season is over in a week. If it's a playoff team wait until they're eliminated or win the Grey Cup. Play by the rules & at least have integrity. Like I said, how would we like it if the roles were reversed? As fans we would be upset. What goes around, comes around. Of course there is something to be said for ethical behaviour. Email messages or about working conditions would move towards a substantive evidence of ethical behaviour. On a scale Miller talking to a guy can not be stretched into symptoms of a circus as is Pentons rhetorical question. Or tampering. All these execs, talk about compensation and other working conditions among themselves. It is not unreasonable in their small community to talk about future plans. A casual talking to a guy during the season leads to the second coming of a notable performer at Assistant Coach, that's unacceptable? Writing to the candidate, would be. Any kind of contact.... any kind no matter if the conversation is casual or not is tampering. That's the way it is. You can't speak to any player, coach or manager about coming to work for another team during the season for coaches or if a player is under contract. Sorry, if I want to be at least proud of the ethics & character of the Bombers. I have little else to be proud of on the field or in the standings. Note: New motto for next season. "We may not be good but at least we're ethical."
  7. Either that or both O'Shea and Walters know and approve of Miller's initiative. It's unlikely that he's doing it behind their backs.
  8. Those that can, do. Those that can't, get fired.
  9. You did your best. It's the same with music, no matter how much good music you expose your kids to they will still prefer to listen to garbage that you absolutely hate.
  10. You really want to leave this job to O'Shea? His past player and coach recruitment record demonstrates that he has virtually no connections or ability to do this job well. He is the antithesis of a schmoozer.
  11. I believe it is quite common. How many times have we seen free-agents signed to a contract 2 secs. after midnight on the day free-agency opens.
  12. Good on Miller, at least he is taking action. I'd guess recruiting and hiring coaches is another one of those skill sets O'Shea lacks.
  13. Not sure who this guy is exactly but the fact that he is associated with Rebel Media demonstrates that they have lost both their minds and their credibility......if they ever had any to begin with that is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZscWceyY9Fg
  14. MOS will have to see film on Davis first. There is a completely sane reason. If Toronto beats BC and Edmonton beats Montreal next weekend, it will come down to week 20, the final week. They will play to win at that point...although I cannot see them winning. You have spoken heresy and will be pilloried here. Fantasy is so much more fun than reality. The fantasy is that we are still not in it, technically.. We are factually still alive. Odds are more remote then me landing a date with kate upton but fact remains we still have a chance. This does mean we will not be auditioning until end of this week depending on how the games play out. If O'Shea promotes this idea even once in the next week I will lose my frickin' mind.
  15. This is probably one of the highlights of Harper's reforms but unfortunately for him it encouraged the most experienced members of his caucus to clean out their desks prior to the election. The Anders pension just burns...even the Reformers couldn't stand that guy.

  17. I agree, that a loss is a loss in the standings. But if the team is playing hard, in the game for 4 quarters, and has a chance to win at the end, I enjoy the game. Falling down 20 points and then bringing the score close in garbage time is not a game I like to watch. Yup. I watched enough reruns in summer. It gets boring and irritating after awhile. It's frustrating as the pattern of these losses is so obvious and repetitive. All through the 3rd Q each time the Bombers took possession I yelled "do it now!" only to see them go two and out, two and out, two and out. The chance to win was there for a long time while the they held the lead but this O can't seem to generate any urgency until they're behind and there's 36 secs. left on the clock!
  18. Loved Cal to pieces but signing Dunigan to that contract almost bankrupted the football club, so not the best example of smart team management.
  19. That's what Chamblin wanted too. That worked out well.
  20. TC officially starts next game, hope to see some players off the PR that have not played get a chance to show their stuff. Also let Davis play at least one Q.
  21. The excitement around here is palpable especially considering it's game day. Is it time to declare the patient officially dead?
  22. Holy crap, just tuned into the BC-Ham. game. Has Hurricane Patricia turned the world on it's head? Looking forward to the Bombers blowing out the RB's tomorrow if upsets are trending.
  23. Whatever will become of the "boy's in short pants" that ran the PMO?
  24. To me, this sums up the final years of the Harper Government. Say what you like about his early years, but toward the end...this was his legacy, and it doesn't seem surprising. And that's the thanks these former MPs get from Harper? That's bad. Might be that a few of these ex-MP's might actually throw off the muzzle and speak their minds on the election results and the direction the party is headed. Harper is a control freak beyond compare and he probably doesn't want dissenting viewpoints voiced less the party divides back into it's original fragments of PC's and Reformers. Why he would even give a **** at this point is anyone's guess as he has basically left the party bereft of any legitimate successors.
  25. I thought Anderson and Westerman had a joint sack last week that they awarded to Anderson.
