https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/08/09/still-disbelief-child-shot This story about bomber db demerio Houstons daughter being shot in the leg while sleeping in her Bed is heartbreaking. His daughter son and wife are now in Winnipeg and she's awaiting surgery to remove the bullet. They have a gofundme I'm donating to and I strongly recommend any one who can to do the same.

for all Nichols has declined, he still gets great accuracy and velocity on the dumps he takes in Brandon's cheerios

Oh Man- this is pretty awesome! https://www.cfl.ca/kenneh-williams-oliveira-named-week-1-top-performers/ First start and boom- top performer.

Don’t want to start this up again… but the discussion about diversity hiring is completely ridiculous in this case… Kate Bierness is not only completely qualified but also exceptional at her job… she’s the best person for the job, end of story…

how about that matt nichols guy, am i right fellas?

I'm thinking we will see Kelvin McKnight this week. Could figure out in the rotation with Nelson as receiver / kick returner.

I'm a little late to the party here, but for those saying that Nichols was the best QB in the league in 2019... how quickly we forget that the first 8 weeks of the season were against extremely weak competition. Only 1 team had a winning record (Hamilton) and they lost against them. Playing Ottawa, BC, Toronto the bulk of the early schedule, of course he had a winning record. That game they lost to Toronto 28-27, to me, was the epitome of what we had with Nichols at QB. Just a guy who couldn't get it done when the stakes were at their highest. 169 yards passing this game, and even with Harris going for over 150 on the ground, couldn't keep the lead. The defence even bailed them out with a turnover with 1:44 left. What does the Nichols led offence go out and do, when all they need is a first down to all but ice the game. 2 & out. This, during what some are saying when he was 'at his best' ? Please. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2588/winnipeg-blue-bombers-vs-toronto-argonauts/?_ga=2.152605561.1119343581.1628611599-110836146.1617285075#videos Matty Ice? More like Ice Cold. There's a reason they needed Medlock with him at QB, because he couldn't finish drives. Nichols, after 2017 when there was enough film out there on him and our offence, declined big time. Even his 2017 numbers were propped up big time, dumping it off to Harris 105 times that season. Easy to have a great completion percentage when you throw the ball 3 yards. That said, he's gone and no longer our QB. I finally got my wish! I had honestly thought he had played his last CFL game when he got hurt mid-season here in 2019. He had a decent couple seasons, that was it. Not a guy that's going to the hall of fame by any stretch!

I am shocked! You mean it's Republicans who cheat and steal elections? I wish there had been some clue along the way...

Yeah I don't know many people who view her as purely a diversity hire. She's definitely qualified for the role so in that case diversity is good.

my big Q is who are our import recs this week -- neither Nelson nor Bailey really took advantage of the opportunity they got with Adams out last week

I'll fight forever that Joey Elliot coulda been something special with a better team around him.....

Yup. No need for them to call an election. I guess I'm getting a new MLA, who won't live in my area or even be able to find it on the map. So, what will probably happen is Brian will step aside very soon. October? The party will install an interim leader and new Premier, while the candidates work through the campaign. They'll have a spring campaign to choose a new leader and that leader will get some months at the helm until the election.

As they should. I think it's an incredibly entitled opinion to think we, as fans, somehow deserve this info. It's the players personal business... Their health. Nobody deserves that info.

I have to say, this is 1000% better than the info we got before. To think, it took gambling money for the CFL (and CFLPA) to treat it's fans a bit better.

“Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” - Mark Twain

Well, probably not this sailing ship but it's still one helluva beautiful vintage CFL logo.

Together with a strong urge for salt pork and hard tack...

If you know anything about me, you should know that I'm a huge fan of old, old wooden ships...

Also strange fact - the longest ever successful field goal in CFL history was 62 yards by Paul McCallum. To put in perspective of how stupid the Riders' are - on September 28, 1997, they had McCallum attempt (unsuccessfully) an 84 and 79 yard field goal in the same game.

If Covid 19 had taught us anything it's that there are not only a lot of stupid people around us but also a lot of dangerous people around us

No I have watched plenty of games, if you think he is throwing the same in ottawa as he was in 2019 here you are out of your ******* mind. Full stop.

No one talked about him but Brandon Alexander is the glue that holds that whole secondary together. Can play any position in it at a high level. Also Nick Taylor had a fantastic game too.

"I worked 4 months in New York (medicine hat) in a lab (strip club) and we were forbidden to share anything to media (hookers)and weren't allowed to speak with non-family (johns) about the science we discovered. ( crud us janitors swept up and found under table tops )" got to love the phrase " the science we discovered"🤣 "honey I'm home, you'll never believe the science I discovered today"

Taylor can return too

By all account, McKnight had a good camp too as a receiver.

Im sure we have someone that can return in case of injury. Ex. Demski. Probably others. Having a backup returner that is at the same level as your primary returner is a luxury. I'd rather have a more impact receiver on the field for every offensive snap. That said it may be a moot point as Stewart still seems to be injured

Pretty sure the coaches and the players hate it.

The gun violence in the US rose by some 50% during the Trump regime and has escalated again during the COVID crisis. Houston must feel relieved to have his wife and kids here and safe. winnipeg is not perfect but, thank God, we do not to fear this sort of thing every day like many Americans.

It's comical how anyone here can let Matt Nichols continue to live rent free in their heads. And the revisionist history on top of it is comical. And by comical, I mean utterly pitiful.

the entire point I am making is that he never had an arm that bad while here! You have twice now said exactly what I have been telling you. Maybe listen when the grown ups are talking for a change? You let your hatred of Matt Nichols blind you to what people are actually saying. That game, and the montreal game were the epitome to me of what we had with Paul Lapolice. A guy who ices his own offence when they get a big lead. Why on earth did they go away from what got them the huge lead in the first place? He does it all the time. Trying to outsmart the defnsive coordinator and does their job for them stopping the offense. Both Lapo and Ritchie Hall get super passive and it can lead to blown games. At least when Hall gets a talented D it works because they make plays and get pressure to disrupt things.

I know I wouldn't put it past the Chinese to kidnap an NHL player & charge them with espionage to put pressure on Canada in the Meng Wenzhou case.

I like you, Intergalactic Superstar McAwesome........

It looked like it landed at the back of the endzone. Crazy distance.

got curious so I hit up newspaperarchive.com...yeah, it was a wind game. looks like they figured they'd get more distance placekicking into the wind rather than punting.

https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-the-ipccs-sixth-assessment-report-on-climate-science A ton of information broken down into key sections regarding the IPCC report released earlier today.

Fun Fact: Ron Lancaster continues to hold the CFL record for most interceptions thrown in a career (396). Not relevant, just something I stumbled upon that I thought was worth sharing.

With a coach that meshed with his style. Pretty sure he has admitted that he often took matters into his own hands rather than play the passive game he was asked.

There's a real election security breach case — focused on a Trump-loving county clerk's office: report Writing for The Bulwark this Monday, Tim Miller says that there's finally a credible investigation into voting machine tampering, and it's not being initiated by Donald Trump's allies. Miller cited a recent report from The Daily Sentinel, detailing how the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder's Office in Colorado is under investigation by the Secretary of State's Office over a "breach in security" in its election system. "Secretary of State Jena Griswold released an order at 10:15 a.m. today calling on Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters to supply surveillance videos and documents showing how the breach occurred, and how security information ended up on a social media post," the Sentinel reports. "If Peters can't show proper chain of custody for that security information, which involves certain passwords that are eyes-only for state and county election workers who have passed background checks, all of the county's election systems could be immediately decertified, meaning the county would be on the hook for an expensive refit of all of its machines." As Miller points out, Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters is fervent Trump supporter "who appears to have executed a self-own of historic proportion." Last week, QAnon conspiracists shared a video claiming a "whistleblower" provided alleged evidence that Dominion voting machines are connected to the internet -- a claim that is a necessary element for voter fraud conspiracy theories. In the video, the alleged whistleblower included an image of their election system's BIOS password, and in doing so "they stepped on a pretty large rake – because the password in the video was unique, which allowed the Colorado Secretary of State's office to identify which county the leak came from and during which meeting it was recorded," Miller writes. "It turns out the election hacker was not Antifa or a Hugo Chavez apparition but a real live human in the office of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters," writes Miller.

Harris neighbor troll! It took me a while. Hahahaha...BEST.

Yeah johnson was meh our young guys were much better. Km hoping Alexander stays at sam and Darby goes to s with the Hallett boys rotating. I suspect a couple of those vets are on veteran days. Gotta keep their work load light between games the lines are sharp no rust get em rest where we can. Eli was really good in the heavy set too. That guy is ready to start and I think would start on every other team in the league.

That is real cold........

Ah Wilder, as others here have said really is the Duron Carter of running backs. No I in team buddy but there is one in idiot.

I worked on Covid-1 to Covid-18. I think I know how to and how NOT to covid.

I guess that means his 20 years working in a virology lab with SARS and Ebola was 20 weeks in the club washing the STD’s off the stripper poles between acts. I’ll let myself out.

My Take: Beirness is a breath of fresh air on the panel. She's the comic relief and does it well. Sanchez is getting better each time out. He's the disparaging word guy. Matty's great, but being on Zoom doesn't work for him. He needs to be on set. Milt might as well be let go. He doesn't add anything to the panel. Barker has some good insight, but he's poor on the panel.

I will resist the urge to get into a diversity debate with Brandon as I don’t want to get the post off track, but if others want to chase him down the rabbit hole I will gladly add my voice to counter his ignorant comments.
