    So what's the difference between them and you?
  2. I'm not sure why anyone would have confidence in Collaros. When he was healthy last year, he was terrible. He had, what, one game where he threw for more than one TD?

    Dude... We've been fighting for this for decades. It won't fix everything overnight... But it's a relief that my local governments are finally willing to treat me like an adult who can decide to have a cold beer in a parking lot by the lake before a football game and not have anyone get hurt by it. Like it should have ever been any of their concern...

    liberals and ndp aren't socialist though...in the same way the PC's aren't actually free market capitalists. Also, everyone hates socialism until they need the cops/hospitals etc. And on the flip side, everyone hates capitalism until they want new technology or more income. Both have played a large role in your life whether you like it or not. Stop being ignorant and understand that there are nuances in everything.

    And anything the Liberals or NDP does is criticized by the right wing. This is politics. What is your point? The biggest difference is that when center-left voters see that their candidates are screwing up, they will change their votes or abstain from voting, but right-wingers will ignore everything and double down in their support. In any case, this ought to be moved out of the Bomber section.

    Just watched the trailer for Joker Understand, that I have never had all much use for quite a lot of these Marvel, DC, et el, comic book , superhero movies..... Having said that.....this could be special. After 45 seconds, couldn't care if it was AC, DC,.....or whatever. Joaquin Phoenix (not to my surprise) is going to bring it. That trailer had more good cinematography and editing.... that a lot of entire movies, I have seen lately - very cinematic feel. If they gave out an statue for trailers, whoever made this would be in the running. If the rest of the movie is up to this standard......more statues to come.

    Continuing the tailgating - socialist meanie - capitalist pig discussion... I'm glad they're deregulating tailgating in Ontario. Be nice if we could get rid of the government's involvement in our booze too, beyond taxing and regulating it. Don't need them to sell it. Marijuana can be sold be third parties, so why not booze?

    "Lying to Canadians" Feb 7 2019 the day after the Globe first broke the story. Trudeau said the story was untrue and there was no basis to it. Later he claimed not know JWR had concerns which he was later forced to distort to a difference in "experience". Lying politicians is not new...but it still needs to be pointed out....Justin Trudeau is a liar.
  23. Man, no respect for Winston Rose or Geoff Gray... Gray is going to step in and be an all-star for the next two years... Rose had five interceptions last year... Somehow assembling Jefferson-Bryant-Nevis-Jeffcoat is also impressive work by Walters Winnipeg drifted last year because Nichols was obviously injured and playing absolutely terrible football for a stretch... I expect out QB tandem to be much better and to be deployed as a 1A/1B finally Another wild card... and something that I think Walters is watching (and NOT spending madly on free agent receivers...) is that Ackie and Lue are still out there - could be huge mid-season additions...
  24. The thing about Calgary and possibly Winnipeg is that they both had some injuries that held them back last year. Losing players in the CFL is inevitable but somehow good teams find a way to keep getting better. If Nichols is back to being the same guy he was in 2017 Winnipeg will be just fine. And if he's the same as last year Streveler will be more ready to run the entire offense this year. And Calgary had such a rotation of receivers that it eventually started to affect their dominant offense and they had to rely more on defense. The defense won't be the same but the offense could be better than it was. I'm expecting Winnipeg to be even better defensively than they were last season. It took Winnipeg a while to figure out how to employ Bighill and this year the pass rush should be absolutely dominant with the addition of Jefferson. They also have quite a few younger guys who are getting better each year like Wolitarsky, Alexander, Sayles, and Bryant.

    I think it will be hard for Laine to heat up on a line with Little and Copp. It's been proven, many times, that he and Little have little (no pun intended) to no chemistry. Hope I'm wrong.

  32. You never know what will happen. Outside of Calgary and Winnipeg who will both at the very least will be solid it is hard to predict. Saskatchewan could be awful and the could be competitive. They will need to keep Zach healthy and I'm not sure they can do that. They will have to press more offensively and Zach simply isn't a quick release type of guy. He's still going to take shots. Not only does he need to stay healthy he needs to play a lot better. Their defense won't be as good but honestly, they could go from being elite to being average at best. Chris Jones was a great defensive coach and he had a large coaching staff at his disposal last season giving him a major advantage. Yeah, they were able to pick up a run plugger at DT but will lose some of the pass rush and big-play capability they had last year. Also, Hughes didn't do a lot down the stretch and he's going to be a year older. Improving the run game is important but I don't think they have the same level of coaching on offense that Winnipeg has in terms of being able to disguise things and get a team away from keying on the run. Powell had a lot of success but he was playing on a team that had more passing attempts and completions than any other team in the CFL. He wasn't really something you could key on as a result. Edmonton I think will be the most improved team in the West. Jason Maas isn't very likable but he's a great offensive coach. Mike Reilly wasn't a 5000 yard passer before Maas came to town. He used to rely a lot more on his legs and get injured a lot back in the Chris Jones/Mcadoo days. I would expect that Edmonton's passing attack will be similar in quality to what it's been over the past few years and their defense can only go up after a few key additions. BC is a big question mark to me. He's on a new team with new teammates and coaches. He is still gonna put up some totals but might not be as prolific as he's been in the past. And in order to afford to pay him, BC is going to have to start a lot of unproven players on defense. What it really comes down to is how much of an impact Claybrooks alone can make on defense. Suhk Chung is an over priced but solid addition but BC probably still has some issues at tackle. They didn't previously have a good track record of protecting their qb's and I have no reason to believe that a Canadian guard will change that.

    That's the CFL Horsemen tailgate with Geo Jones Dog looking up. If any Bombers fans come to McMahon Stadium, look these guys up. They're good guys & fans from other CFL teams are warmly welcomed. You'll be fed & the football talk will be enriching. They have an old motorhome they use & signage so they're easy to find in the east side parking lot.

    How can we compete with the Riders for Ryan? They can offer him twice as many punts this year AND he'll have a ton more field to work with. He'll break all kinds of records and be done by November so he can catch on to an NFL team late in the season.

    I know about that. When you go the extreme right or the extreme left, you get something like The German Labour Front or Russian Communism. I don't have a problem saying that Nazi Germany was an extreme form of socialism - because it was. But Hitler's policies are also found on the extreme right - fascism. The political spectrum is really a circle.
