Fatty Liver

You paying attention to the good passes he's completed? I realize lots of people hate Burris but he just went over 400 yds. so he's doing alright tonight...that's all I'm saying, but keep that hate burning bright.

How so? Objectively his numbers are better than Glenn's and KG is having a decent game. Are you looking at stats or watching his horrid decision making? Should have been picked off about 4 times already. But he has a strong arm so people are easily impressed How so? Objectively his numbers are better than Glenn's and KG is having a decent game. Because numbers has nothing to do with it. He's reckless with the ball, incredibly streaky, inaccurate more often than not and he's a brutal cold weather quarterback once October/November rolls around...just to name a few reasons. What does any of that have to do with this game? So far he seems to be playing well.

Because they're not half bad?

Similar to Willy's injury, is it not?

This is the Ti-Cats schedule going forward. Bye Cgy. SK. Mtl. BC Ott. Ott. I would say even without Collaros they still have a good chance to beat Sk., Mtl. and BC just on team strength. If Collaros comes back in time for Ott. they beat them twice easily.

Edmonton should be taking control of this game shortly, Austin is going to suffer for his "eggs in one basket" QB strategy.

At least Collaros left for the locker room on his own two feet.

You're assuming there would be a next year on Henoc's contract. If it's just a six game deal do you even bother? Exactly, throw in a signing bonus, fer what?

That was more my point, in a 10 min. scrimmage Nichols is only in there for 5 minutes. How does any QB establish timing with RB's and receivers in that amount of time?

Only 10 minutes of scrimmage and still giving Brohm reps. WTF?

I read somewhere that the magic is in his hair. Bring scissors.

Winning is fun and Henoc probably experienced enough losing in his time with the Bombers to last a lifetime. Couldn't blame him at all if he signed on with a front-runner like Ham. or Edm. The Bombers just can't offer the same certainty of success at this point.

The Cons aren't winning over any new voters at this point, their only hope is to diminish Trudeau by attacking him and pull some of their past voters back. The hard-core NDP supporters and the young are out of their reach, so they're not going to waste their time trying to win them over.

Interview with Henoc in the Edmonton Journal. http://edmontonjournal.com/sports/football/cfl/edmonton-eskimos/five-reasons-why-henoc-muamba-might-sign-with-the-eskimos Whenever Henoc Muamba’s Canadian Football League tour ends, the free-agent linebacker will catch his breath from the zigzagging the country, lay his options out in front of him and make his highly anticipated decision. After Muamba’s stop in Edmonton on Wednesday, Eskimos general manager Ed Hervey is confident that his Grey Cup-chasing team has a lot to offer. Here are five reasons why Muamba might sign with the Esks. Family ties Henoc’s older brother, Cauchy, is in his second year with the Eskimos. The two played together at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia and Cauchy signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2013 to join Henoc, before Henoc left for his shot with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts in 2014. “It definitely plays a role. He’s my older brother, I’ve got lots of love for him,” Henoc said while Cauchy and the Eskimos practised at the Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre field house. The ties extend beyond the two brothers potentially reuniting with the Eskimos. Twin brothers Jonathan and Frederic (who are freshmen on the Carleton Ravens football team), along with twin sisters Allegra and Gracia, who are involved in track and field, all grew up in Edmonton. The right fit Hervey met with Muamba on Wednesday morning before bringing him to the Eskimos’ practice to show what he’d be getting into. The time spent together seemed to be mutually beneficial. “I truly believe that an organization and a team really takes on the personality of the people at the top and so meeting Mr. Hervey and talking with him and understanding his mentality to the game (was helpful),” Henoc said. “Seeing those guys gives me an understanding of what the team is about.” “We need an opportunity to get to know a player,” Hervey said. “When we’re in free agency, we don’t get many opportunities to bring a player in and talk with him because of some of the restrictions. We want to have a chance to talk with him and we think he’d be a good fit here.” A Chris Jones defence The biggest grin that came across Henoc’s face in his 10 minutes with the media was spurred by the mention of playing in Jones’ defence. “I’ve always been a fan of the Jones defence,” he said. “It’s interesting, intriguing. I like the way he moves guys around and that’s one of the things that coaches like about me: I’m a little flexible. That appeals to me on this defence and coach Jones and this system.” Money There’s love of the game, but Henoc knows there are dollars to be made in this move. A Canadian linebacker that plays at an all-star level can pull in somewhere around $200,000 a season in the CFL. “I’m fortunate and glad to have a great agent in Johnathan Hardaway, who’s always taking care of business from that standpoint,” Henoc said. “We’ll sit down and have everything out and make a decision.” The Grey Cup Muamba was a special teams player and rookie with the Bombers in 2011 when Winnipeg lost in the Grey Cup game to the host B.C. Lions. Were he to join the Eskimos — currently 7-4 and serious Grey Cup contenders — he could be back in that big game this year and for many more to come. “I’m a competitor, but … I really want to look into the environment,” Henoc said. “I believe in environment and I believe in the leaders of teams. If a team is not winning now, but I know that they have what it takes to win for the long haul and for a long period of time (it would influence the decision positively). Again, it’s the environment, one of the major factors is going to be there.” Muamba’s tour started in Hamilton on Sept. 12, went to B.C. on Sept. 15 and continues on to Montreal on Thursday.

The Sun has no bias, chief Conservative spokesman Kory Teneycke former Vice-President of the Sun News Network said so.

Terrible debate and terrible moderator imo. Really hard to watch but I guess that is par for the course for these pissing matches. I wonder how many Canadians actually had access to and watched this debate. From what I could tell the only place to watch it was from the Globe and Mail site via You Tube.

Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise. Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete. With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials. If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed. Define meaningful. Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful.

I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. My brother coaches at the University/National level and academic standing (GPA and attendance) is a high priority for his athletes. That is, unacceptable academic standing means no play (no matter who you are) until it's brought up to the standard set by the University regardless of sport (I believe its around 3.00 GPA and 80% attendance rate). So I think the more practical question, for me at least is, where do American Universities sit with this when it comes to football play and academic standing with their student athletes? My educated guess would be it varies from University to University. That's all well and good, but a lot of the basketball players at BU when I was there were dumber than a sack of hammers, and mostly they took classes such as shoe tying 101 and walking and chewing bubble gum 305. A lot of universities like to claim that they have high academic standards, and I'm sure some do, but there's also a lot of fluff involved in getting the athletes through those requirements too.

Wasn't BU suspended in the past for that issue? Seem to recall sometime in the 80's they brought in a slew of basketballers from the US that had the equivalent of a 6th grade education.

Love it!

Donald Sutherland is married to Shirley Douglas, daughter of Tommy Douglas. So he really doesn't have any other choice. Dude - they divorced in 1970. That's more than enough time to break away from the terrible NDP. Did not know that. Has anyone told Kiefer?

That sounds impossible, is there a set of numbers that don't have an average?No but this isn't accounting and you can't learn politics by playing Number Munchers. So the ndp and liberals and communists are exactly the same? The conservatives and reform are exactly the same? How is 17to18 claiming that harper brought the torys further away from the far right of there is no gradient. Just a black and white set of binary ideologies? Not at all. There is far left, left, right, and far right. But there is no centre. And anyone claiming to be "centre" is kidding themselves. No the centre is the point between left and right, it means that where ever you draw the line between left and right, the centre can skip onto either side of it and do things associated with either side. If you have degrees of left and right then you also must have a centre. And that is basically were most Canadians stand, despite various parties trying to move them to the wings.

I find twitter messages to be more useful if you don't bother to read them.
