Is it really a sign of success though? Exhibit A:

The penalty, as I understand it was on Bell for taunting, I think?

I will take every chance I can get to post this. In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, I don't care who you are, that's funny.

🤣

How many pipelines got built under Harper? Sure they made a bunch approvals but there was nothing built then either. The time to start building pipelines isn't now, it was 20 years ago.

Tucker Carlson should immediately release his IQ scores. Americans deserve to know.

It was definitely against Bell. He talks about it here: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/08/best-sports-gifs-kerwin-bell-spike-ball-crotch-valdosta-state-coach-colts-dolphins-florida-video

Yes, but the flag completes the masterpiece. Without the flag, the piece wouldn't be complete. What's Mona Lisa without the smirk? What's George without the black socks?

Makes zero sense to go get Russian oil or Venezuelas when you have your best friend and ally in Canada with more oil than both of them sitting next door not taking it out of the ground. The Liberals have made a dog's breakfast out of our oil industry and now is the time to correct it.

The West, ALL of them, are not still buying his oil. Canada, for instance, has stopped. Biden is expected to do so in the next couple days and Germany has cancelled the Nordstream pipeline that will cost trillions to Russia in oil exports. The West's condemnation does a hell of a lot more than hurt Putin's feelings. His economy is in free fall, the rouble has crashed and so has his stock market, and China has already come out and stated that they will not be the safety net for their economy and wish to remain somewhat neutral. I am not sure where you are getting your facts from? Vladimir Putin's reign will not survive anything but absolute surrender by the Ukrainians on amicable terms that causes the West to reduce sanctions. Already powerful oligarchs are calling for his head.

This. I didn't hate the antlers, but the EE is a good look, and for what Cui is trying to achieve, it's a smart move....

So I am using Ed Tait’s template of “Bombers by the numbers” and giving extra credit for those he named, and he chose Gavin Walls over Gerry James for “he wore it well”. He put James in for #28 instead, and when I look at that number I see that James stood out well above anyone else there……with one glaring exception in my mind. Plus, James was inducted into the Ring of Honour as #98, so I am going to modify my own standards and include him here along with Gavin Walls who is pictured above. Besides, no reason we can’t have more than one person per day on the countdown picture.

No no no. C’mon let’s look at this from both sides.

Sorry Noeller... He gave us one of the greatest TD celebrations of all time.

"Canada’s three northern territories have jointly requested a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss Arctic security following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.l “Across the three territories we all have concerns,” Cochrane told MLAs in the NWT legislature. “We’ve written a letter to our prime minister to request a meeting with him to discuss Arctic security. “We’ve also requested that Arctic sovereignty be included in our next Council of the Federation meeting, which happens this summer,” she added, referring to a twice-yearly meeting of Canada’s 13 provincial and territorial leaders" https://cabinradio.ca/86924/news/politics/canadas-territories-ask-trudeau-for-meeting-over-arctic-security/ reddit is good.

Zelenskky has escaped assassination three times in the past week, and it sounds as if the FSB has tipped off his security in at least 1 attempt, there are many in Russia and apparently high up that don't want this war and are trying to make it harder for Russia to succeed.

But the John Deere logo is outstanding in its field.

As I recall it, Bell recieved the penalty for objectional conduct - taunting, and for clipping, and for being a tool without a permit. penalty was 15 yards and he had to remain an Argo. Was considered by many to be one of the harshest penalties ever handed down. Only thing worse would have been to have been immediately made a Rider, but no one really deserves that fate.

It's his smile and his picturesque hand that's the clincher

The timeless art of seduction.

Problem is that “success” has 3 S’s, whereas “suck” has only the one, so that “S” above is truly a sign of “suck”.

Ya Bell got the penalty for taunting.

The military materiel and humanitarian supplied to Ukraine has been of great help to them. Had it not been for this help, the invasion would have rolled over Ukraine already. The resistance has been much greater than Putin anticipated- over 4,000 Russian casualties, and two Russian generals dead. Even though Putin claims things are going according to plan, as of today contradicting government reports or criticizing Putin's war is is punishable by 20 years imprisonment, all independent media has been shut down and there are reports that Russian conscription of troops is imminent. None of this ensures Ukrainian victory but analysts have estimated that if Ukrainian resistance is not crushed in the next 7-10 days, Putin will be in trouble. Third Assassination Attempt on Zelensky Fails as Putin Sparks ‘Nuclear Terror’ An aide to the Ukrainian president credits “Russian spies” for tipping them off to at least three assassination attempts. Comic-turned-hero Volodymyr Zelensky has survived at least three precision assassination attempts by elite hit squads since Russia’s week old war began, according to Ukrainian officials who say his survival was all thanks to tip-offs from Russian spies. Both the the Kremlin-funded Wagner group mercenaries and Chechen Republic leader Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov’s kill teams have allegedly tried to kill the Ukrainian president, who is hiding out in various bunkers deep below the capital Kyiv, according to the Washington Post. The Wagner mercenaries—run by Yevgeny Prigozhin A.K.A. “Putin’s chef” —reportedly have a kill list of 24 names, including Zelensky, but were waylaid by the stalled military convoy outside of Kyiv that made it difficult for Russian special forces to secure an escape route, according to the Times of London.

I liked the antlers but the EE is just so simple and classic. Bring the antlers back as an alternative every so often.

No, it was necessary. Your comments in this thread seem like conjecture at best. You claim to not have a "dog in this hunt" but you've been commenting here all the same with your unpopular opinions. I think you've confused that word with ignorant, to be honest. Do you even know what sabre rattling means? It's defined as the display or threat of military force. Has any western country done such a thing since Putin chose to invade a sovereign nation unprovoked? Nope. Western countries have expressed their collective condemnation and supported Ukrainian resistance within the respective framework of NATO legislation. And to suggest the west has nothing is patently false. Russia's economy is in shambles and it's going to get worse as Putin continues to destroy Ukraine.

Truly remarkable. Beyond that, who can say they won. Grey Cup and a Memorial Cup, who can say they played in a Grey Cup (winning) and a Stanley Cup Final (losing, of course…..it’s the Leafs) in the same season (1959 and 1959-60), and who can say they won a Grey Cup and celebrated by playing an NHL game RIGHT AFTER ON THE SAME DAY????? (NOV. 30/57, a day after he won MOst Outstanding Canadian award). No one else, that’s who.

I really appreciate the people pushing new, independent media outlets for CFL fans. From your podcast, to darren bauming, to some of the great stuff 3dn and 3 down development are doing. Seems like every time I see 13th man sports and the other facebook one it's always low quality articles. I hope they continue to grow and get better but man some times its almost as bad as TSNs PBP.

It's one thing to play MLB & in the NFL. How many can say they played in the NHL & CFL?

I would imagine that the behind-the-scenes stuff will closely resemble the "Succession" TV series.

This is hilarious, worth the surprise at the end.

None of which include fighting.

This is likely the most realistic scenario where we would be drawn into a physical altercation with Russia, besides a NATO war. My biggest fear is that my sons will have to fight a war someday. If I could take their place, I would. If they choose to fight and the military is willing to take me, I would.

Every time the pound the ground about "freedom", they only mean freedom for their own beliefs. Not your freedoms or beliefs. This is the right. This is who they are.

Would the west like for Putin to be assassinated, yes hell yes, should they be a part of it no absolutely not, but as I have said in the past if someone from Putin's inner circle wanted and had a chance to put a bullet in his head the west and indeed the World would be a better place

The best answer may be in Venezuela, which has been suffering from US embargoes for years. The oil production has been cut back drastically but is capable of being upscaled quickly and is light crude. The US may see this as the lesser of evils, even though they would love to continue punishing Venezuela.

Al Sharpton imo makes a great point that the US can’t be global liberators while back at home ignoring the serious threat on democracy. I would add harsh twitter words, investigating, looking into it, setting up committees blah blah blah with no real action and consequences is still ignoring at the end of the day.

being quarantined in my basement this week, I had a chance to watch a pile of streaming stuff. I've just crushed through Vice Principals, Righteous Gemstones and Barry on Crave. Fantastic stuff, the lot of 'em, if anyone is looking for recommendations. Also, if you haven't seen the Peacock/Showcase MacGruber series yet, it's a worthy successor to the movie. Have started watching the new dramatic take on Will Smith's Fresh Prince Of Bel Air and it's kind of interesting. It's basically The OC for people of colour. Really interesting twist on the original material, anyhow.

“Suck” - 4 letters Riders - 4 Cups Coincidence? I think not.

Agree. It'd be cool if they tied the idea from the antler helmets into shoulder pad pin striping or some thing. Even just the EE gloves with antlers would be cool.

Guess I was wrong. I just remember being furious… Must have been because Kerwin ******* Bell scored a rushing TD against us and not a BS penalty. My bad. 😁

Russia produces 4% of the world's oil. We can easily overcome the shortage, provided we can get the product to the markets that need it. Not only are the Russians having trouble selling it, the ruble has been devastated.

Sorry man, I think you are out to lunch. Been drinking the Glenn Beck koolaid or what? China's total trade with Russia per annum is 90 billion dollars China's total trade to the US per annum 1.6 trillion China is going to stay arms length from Russia. They will attempt to leverage the situation to gain trade advantage but siding with Russia completely...not going to happen. It's simple economics really.

not realising that failing so hard as a conservative premier in Alberta that they give you the boot means what the **** chance do you even have federally? No Kenney gets the old heave ho from the UCP I reckon that's the end of his political career.

After Putin gets done with Ukraine there wont be much left, on the humanitarian side it sound like there will be a temporary ceasefire to create a corridor so civilians can get out of the country

I think you just explained why many trans people feel isolated enough to commit suicide without knowing you've explained it. In other words, your cause and effects are ass-backwards. "Suicidal behaviour is a complex phenomenon that is a result of many individual (age, male sex assigned at birth, previous suicide attempts, mental health history, substance abuse) as well as more distant environmental factors. A recent literature review clearly demonstrates the specific risk factors for suicide in sexual minority youth, which includes negative social environments, inadequate support within the closest social network, and an absence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movements in communities (29). In our cohort, both trans women and trans men show a three‐ to four‐fold elevated risk of suicide compared with the population rate in the Netherlands and can therefore be considered a high‐risk group. Although the Netherlands is known for its tolerance toward sexual minority groups in comparison to most countries in the world (30), the societal position of trans people is generally less favorable compared with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and cis‐gender population. Furthermore, compared with trans men, the societal position of trans women is lower (31, 32." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7317390/
