Bomber Moves 2018
Which guy? Henoc? The Bombers 2013 Most Outstanding Player, Most Outstanding Defensive Player, and Most Outstanding Canadian? 2013 CFL All-star? 2013 Lew Hayman award winner? Yeah, what was to like about him when he was in a Bomber uniform.

Deploy the military within the US? Wouldn't that require martial law to be declared? Of course, the gunman who killed 13 at Fort Hood didn't worry too much about all the armed soldiers at the base.

Upcoming Movies
I should say, I find some quite light, like Thor and GOTG. But, Iron Man, Captain America, etc. have been heavy handed. Also, not MCU, but so was Logan. Comics tend to be heavy handed reflection of current events and social movements.

I find most (all?) MCU movies heavy-handed.

Will Walters go all out at MLB?
Imagine how miserable he would be if you took that away from him!

If the price is right, sure. Although I was originally giddy at the chance to sign him, there may be better options out there. Since it seems as thought we're set on the ratio, we may not need him (for big dollars). There has to be some LBs down south that could be had at a lower price, right?

I imagine the NRA (et al) would have been on his lawn defending him if they had taken away his guns. He obtained them legally.

Yes, not all are. Imagine politics without lobbying money, Super PACs, corporate donations?

Some of the worst. Others are bankers, lawyers, and Roughriders.

I think, like most politicians, they're pro money and will follow it wherever it leads.

No passport and doesn't look like any of his pictures.

No money to pay for education but lots of money to buy guns for the teachers and provide them with a day of training and target practice. It's such a stupid idea, only the NRA could come up with it.

I don't think he would be allowed into the country under the current travel ban.

2018 Winter Olympics
There's really only two teams that compete for gold and silver. Granted, Canada and the US continually get better but at what point are the other teams going to get close?

Not fair. He didn't golf for three days after the tragedy. That's sacrifice.

I think the evangelical religious right exists to support the capitalist right. Hand-in-hand. I know that there was a lot of talk about the anti-marijuana campaigns being funded primarily by alcohol and pharma companies. I would like to see the statistics to see how accurate or inaccurate those truly statements are.

Is 'agree' even a word? Sounds made up.

I'm not debating, I agree with you. I still would like to know what a player is thinking, when submitting their list, knowing they'll be a UFA at the end of the season. Why take a risk on a team that might not make the playoffs? Jets, at this point, are pretty safe. I would start with the safe teams, then add in a few other nice landing spots. You can make some serious money on your next paycheque, if you perform in the playoffs.

He's happy when he's in the news. If Fox and Friends doesn't have a problem with it, why should he?

We did have to pay a premium but I'm not sure that he could not have gotten close to that somewhere else. We'll never know. I would guess that we pay a 10% premium on players? Taxes are definitely an issue.

Everyone knows the moon landing was faked. If they can fake the moon landing, certainly the Libs that own Hollywood could fake DT bumping off a porn star.

2018 Winter Olympics
There are different roles. Certainly, I could have played any position but I preferred being skip. I played all positions and encouraged feedback. But when the game was on the line, I liked having the rock in my hand.
