2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
Yeah, they made the start of the season earlier, but inserted more by weeks rather than moving the playoffs up a couple of weeks IMO, that was a missed opportunity to improve late fall attendance

Covid-19
I don't know. But I can confirm that it doesn't show up easily with testing - I've heard that from parents and students The symptoms matched up but multiple rapid tests were negative - the doctor told them to assume it was Omicron

Covid-19
PCR and Rapid tests are ineffective when the symptoms are mostly gastro - which for many people they now are

Around The NHL 2021/22
Absolutely. When you watch Gretzky highlights from the 80s...most of those goals would not be scored in 2022 I'm sure he knows that better than anyone

Game 65 vs Ottawa
Of course. But the D-Men will not play a physical or aggressive game - when it's obvious that certain forwards are not being held accountable for their lacklustre defensive play.
-
Game 65 vs Ottawa
Games like this will keep happening - as long as their star forwards are not willing to back check.

2021/22 - CFL Offseason - Non-Back-to-Back Grey Cup Champion Thread
Oh absolutely. A left tackle of Bryant's calibre, with a Canadian passport, would be pure gold for any CFL team However, we're seeing hardly any Canadians at the OT positions anymore, and certainly none in the Bryant ballpark

I am pretty sure top drawer OL like Stanley Bryant are paid the same or more than Canadian OL.

Game 64: vs Vegas
A goaltender the calibre of Hellebuyck having a bad year - is a reflection of the play in front of him

Canadian Politics
Given what we're seeing from the current CPC members in Parliament, I am okay with that. Something more than finding 100 different ways to say "Trudeau bad" is going to be required of them

I disagree that she was playing games. The time for a cabinet minister to question the cozy relationship between SCN - Lavalin and the Feds was past due. It's the kind of thing that used to cause election losses - but somehow not anymore. The last time this happened (although more informally than with Martin / Layton) Stephen Harper made sure it didn't last very long But there is no Harper - this time...

That is a tight race in what is supposed to be a safe right wing riding.

Canadian Politics
I just don't know how they can't realize that it won't win them a Canadian election - not even a minority. With past CPC regimes, Trudeau's image/issues would be a clear path to victory.

Canadian Politics
And that is going to continue. The current approach from Bergen, Polliviere, peek a boo Bezan, et. al. will just increase their vote count in ridings they are already winning Add another 10 000 CPC votes in Selkirk Interlake Eastman or Portage Lisgar...while the Liberals will win the key swing ridings in Winnipeg Same thing...across most of the country.

What I don't understand about Dr. Horton's response is - where in the world are they doing anything differently? Canadian provinces have had some of the toughest covid restrictions, in the entire world.

Except that Russia should have won and taken over by now - that hasn't happened.

2021/22 - CFL Offseason - Non-Back-to-Back Grey Cup Champion Thread
Good points. With the time it takes them to whistle the play in, they are often past 40 seconds, by the time the ball is snapped. Singles I think should be limited to kickoffs and punts.

I completely agree. I would go as far as saying, this past season, QB protection was abysmal outside of Winnipeg, Hamilton and maybe Toronto Any team that played the Bombers simply could not protect their QB. IMO, the only time our DL was blocked somewhat effectively, was in the Grey Cup Teams are bringing in American DEs and DTs who are close to NFL calibre. Outside of Winnipeg, this is not being matched along offensive lines, especially NOT at the OT positions

Every burger joint in existence, is capable of giving you the occasional 'bad burger' Having relatives in the potato business (North Dakota) who have direct contracts with McDonald's - I know that their quality control is second to none

Yoshi at 17? Wow. I guess he has had some injury issues. That's mind blowing for a 95% shut down OT.

I'm a sucker for burgers, period. You can all crap on me if you want, but one of my all time favourites is the MCD cheeseburger (2 or 3 of them).

You don"t find that in 4 gospels? Interesting. (Not a good place to have this discussion)

The gospel of Thomas is fantastic: http://gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html But there's not much in it that you wouldn't find in other 4 gospels.

Yes. But there is just a bit too much hyperbole happening with EVs.
