Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
“That rejuvenates me. Being in the locker room and being around the guys, there’s nothing like it. As long as opportunities continue to present themselves, whether down here [in the NFL] or back up in Canada if the well ran dry down here, I’d love to keep playing football as long as I can. It’s not a bad way to work.’’8 points

6 pointsO'Connor has a strong arm & he's a tall lanky qb. He can run but not like Rourke. I can't see him making some of the throws Rourke did but he has motivated receivers who will work hard to get open for him. He won't be putting up the numbers Rourke did but I could see him throwing for 200-250 yard a game. I think teams will blitz the **** out of him trying to rough him up. That OL benefitted from Rourke's ability to get away from pressure & throw laser beam accurate passes. O'Connor can't do that. If the Lions go 50% the rest of the way they'll be hosting the Western Semi Final.6 points -

4 pointsafter streveller went to arizona, I followed that team a bit. can not have been much fun being backup to kyler murray. on one play murray came off the field, streveller went up to congratulate him, murray acted like chris was not there. also, dont think the coach did chris any favours when he was on the field. hope he sticks somewhere. excessively swollen egos in the nfl is part of why I cant get into it.4 points- US Politics

4 pointsI don't find it a perfect match for what is happening in the states either, but it is the clearest example I can think of in seeing a type of mass-following of what from the outside seems obviously flawed, and in the case of the US, just outright stupid and lacking any logic. @Mark FI've posted it somewhere on these forms before, but I found Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and his Followers to be a good read. It more looks at the psychology of the followers and how they can champion a guy like Trump and hold the views they do. Previously I didn't know how anyone in their right mind could be a support Trump. Turns out that I just had to modify my definition of "right mind". One of the authors was a U of M psych prof and his son was an MLA.4 points- Stumps @ Back 2 Back Champs: Week Of Thread

3 pointsIn a Sociology class I took in the early 1980's, we spent the whole time looking at the roots of the Nazi emergence in 1920's- 1930's and how it related to the typical German family life and values of that era. We did not compare it to the Reagn-Bush-Trump era but in retrospect, it sure as hell does.3 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

2 pointsI disagree. There are many politicians who enter politics for all the right reasons. Sometimes their beliefs are different from Our own personal beliefs so we assume they are corrupt, not nice...... Sometimes they are shoved to the side by those in power or with more political punch. Sometimes when good politicians are in politics to long they slowly slide into corruption .But there are good ones. But there are some that have neither good morals or character right off the bat. I would suggest the state of current US politics weeds out the good ones real quick and discards them on the trash heap pretty quick.2 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

2 pointsO'Conor can make most throws...but has no elusiveness, and no threat to kill you around the edge, also he isn't even close to Rourke at processing , and reading, and Rourke was still learning too...he was just being pin point on his first read and hot routes, and had ability to scramble away to ake the deep shot when a receiver got in behind someone....so BC is going to look way different now, and possibly flounder a bit....and I know they "claim" O'Connor is the guy moving forward, but the switch to Pipkin is just a matter of time. Their defense is going to have to be lights out now, and I dont think they have the horses to do that...especially with now prob being on the field more, and not having a 3 score cushion to work behind2 points- US Politics

2 pointsMichael Cohen should be listened to. and Trump, for all the blathering and analysing him, he is not complicated. devoid of morals,, ethics, boundaries; whatever helps him the most, he will do that. If it involves making others suffer... even better. look what he did with covid, sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people, to help himself. blackmail? Hold the country hostage? of course. then sell the information anyway. wierd how this kind of immoral sadist ends up in power so frequently. world wide.2 points- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

2 pointsThat was a great read and I totally relate to you. My dad was the one that got me into watching sports, but it was watching with my mom that made it so special. We would cheer at all the bomber games on tv (and Jets games too). Bomber nights were essentially family nights at our house. I can here my mom's cheers in my head when a TD was scored, and her disgust when an interception was thrown. Sadly my mom passed away in 2009 (exactly one day after Michael Jackson died). She never witnessed the Jets returning, nor did she get to see the Bombers win back to back Grey Cups. When the drought was over in 2019, I imagined my mom jumping for joy in Heaven . And in 2021 I celebrated that Grey Cup win with my dad watching together. It's crazy this thing we call sport, whether playing or watching, some truly special bonds are made. Thank you for sharing this with us and allowing us to share with you.2 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

2 pointsBack to high school O’Connor is what the NCAA types dub a “pro-style” QB meaning he has limited mobility. It’ll certainly be an adjustment for that offense. Rourke is a 4.7 40 guy, O’Connor is a 5.2 40 guy. He won’t be running by any DL.2 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

2 pointsThe foot has 26 bones. Mostly small & hundreds of thousands of nerve endings. They're needed because we use our feet for balance & we need receptors to tell us if something is hard, slippery, wet, sharp, hot or cold. This makes the foot very sensitive after surgery. Whenever surgery is done on the foot, recovery is slow. Not only because the bones need to heal but the nerves damaged in that surgery need to regenerate & heal. That takes months because it is a slow process. some nerves will come back but others may never be the same. Surgical procedures have changed but healing time hasn't. Rourke will have the best doctors, surgeons & physiotherapists taking care of him so he should heal a little quicker than you & I. It'll still take months.2 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News
