As we count down to the start of the 3 Peat.... Our Man Tait has a great piece on the offseason so far:

I don't understand the reasoning behind investing billions of tax payer's money to fund a project that will never see a return on investment. It boggles the mind... That money is better spent elsewhere... like infrastructure that actually benefits Canadians.

Simply the best...

Yeah never a doubt in my mind who got to be 97

Or cleaning up abandoned oil wells from other attempts at making rich corporations richer...

Republicans at this point are entirely Russian assets.

The governing party has to keep up the appearance they are as pissed off and righteous as Sask. and AB. Don't want to get behind on the list of grievances. Head arsonist Kenny leads the way, and he's so mad he wants to burn down the house.

Interesting that Hanson is considering life after football. Mauro played well for us I thought and would be a fine replacement imo. I like that they plan to have other kickers in camp if Castillo isn't back. As Noeller said, lots of good tidbits.

Gray and Eli as back up OL has been an insane luxury. 8 other teams in the league would kill to have either start for them.

The total to date is three confirmed Russian/Chechnyan generals killed. The last one was killed by a Ukrainian sniper from a distance of 1500 meters. Good to see a capital piece taken off the board instead of just pawns.

Mike Pence is irrelevant

Bell got the penalty Taman being one...he didn't want to invite him to camp

Just another great example to not assume someone who is highly skilled in one craft (in this case hockey) is probably skilled in another craft (in this case critical thinking). He’s an self entitled knuckle dragging rich boy who happens to be really good at hockey but unfortunately for him that’s fading fast as well. Trade him away for a late round draft pick and never speak of his name again.

I remember a lot of people wrote walls off purely based on size. He was such a solid player though. Not as flashy as some other guys but rock solid.

The strength of the Russian armed forces has never been questioned but the Ukrainians are giving them a good go

Walters said he is cautiously optimistic that he's going to return... He didn't get into why Grant wouldn't come back, but I guess there's no point in Walters getting involved unless he comes to the table. I see two scenarios: A. Grant is weighing an "after football" plan B. Walters gave him a "best and final" offer and Grant is deciding on if he takes it.

People will be too busy bitching about vaccine mandates to fight. Stupid people doing stupid things.

No Seguin No Miro

Really no competition at this number except for Gord Rowland.

******* blind ref. Demelo got cross checked

and Stastny puts us on the board

Pence Will Try To Break Up Trump And The GOP Via: The AP: In a speech Friday evening to the party’s top donors in New Orleans, Pence will take on those in his party who have failed to forcefully condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. “Where would Russian tanks be today if NATO had not expanded the borders of freedom? There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin,” Pence will say, according to excerpts from the speech. “There is only room for champions of freedom.” Pence thinks that he can pull evangelicals, activist conservatives, and establishment conservatives away from Trump. It is impossible to see evangelicals leaving Trump as many of them have convinced themselves that Trump comes before faith. Establishment conservatives are probably Pence’s best chance, but they are a small minority in Trump’s party. Trump supporters think that Mike Pence is the anti-Christ because he would not illegally overturn the election, so it is mindboggling that Pence would think that members of the same party that tried to hang him a year ago would stand with him to kick Trump out of the party. There is no chance of that happening, as Mike Pence is more likely to be kicked out of Trump’s GOP.

According to Ukrainian news, there are some 17,000 Ukrainian women fighting now, including the current Miss Ukraine. I seem to recall that the Diefenbaker government lost an election when they were poised to spend many millions of dollars of Canadian taxpayer money to build a pipeline to carry petroleum to the US.

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.

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

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.

Good catch. Did anyone else notice that the word success almost has as many S's as the Riders have Grey Cups....and it's only a 7 letter word.

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.

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

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

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.

If the Russians kill Zelensky &/or his family then he (they) have become martyrs. Nothing Putin does will diminish that. In a lot of ways Putin may win the battles militarily but lose the war as he won't crush the spirits of Ukrainians. Zelensky will inspire the Ukrainians to fight back. No Russian will be safe. Thousands of Russians will die.

Shifting responsibility to the Feds to clean up the Covid mess while getting rid of Covid prevention measures because we apparently don't need them anymore. Publicly complaining that the Feds need to step in (Emergencies Act), while also privately asking the Feds to do something to stop the blockade at Emerson.... We don't have provincial leadership, we have leaders that are followers. And the crowd they are following...
