2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
My immediate instinct is that of revulsion, therefore I think it is likely a solid move by the Cats. I'm not shocked by half a Millski for a top QB. That's what you pay.

For something that I have seen people say that it would be improper to speculate about a possible cause for... I've seen a lot of speculation. Also, it wasn't a big hit. Pretty minor one. Not sure if that changes the commotio cordis hypothesis at all. If not and getting hit in the chest is potentially fatal, I'd guess that suspending the NFL, CFL, NHL and MLB is the only way to go forward.

Nope. We don't and can't say for sure. Off topic, but it was early April of 2022 when I read an article which cited 769 athletes who collapsed during competitions from March of 2021 to March of 2022. It found that the average age of cardiac arrest was 23. Weird.

“We thank him for his contributions on the field and for his veteran leadership in the locker room. His time in Double Blue may have been Speedy, but now he’ll always B a champion.” -Pinball Respect for the dad-joke.

Ambrosie: "How to treat our Historic Champions who play in a notoriously tough market... hmmm... Let's take away a Toronto home game yet again... while giving them a 6 week gap in home games midsummer... while putting it up against a team with more support than they have on the East coast so it's actually like an away game... Genius!" Like I've said, I'd be furious about this **** if I were even the faintest bit surprised by it.

Purolator Edit: good point! They may be at Purolator... None of my parcels from them may be safe anymore... (although I'd rest better if it turns out that they aren't at Indian)

Update: Christmas is saved. I don't know that it was a blocked MBB member who tried to pull a Grinch move on me... But I'd guess that if I pried into the lives of the members who I have blocked that one of them would in fact work in the Shipping and Logistics department of Indian Motorcycles Canada. Merry Christmas Manitoba, may your days be merry and bright.

I don't think that Colin implied that Pinball was clueless. I'd agree with his statement on its face.

Fun fact, the writers borrowed this scene from this actual court battle in Illinois: https://www.aclu.org/other/aclu-history-taking-stand-free-speech-skokie

Some anomalies happen: Pinball went directly to HC after retiring as a player. Dinwiddie went from a Offensive Quality Control Coach in 2013, to a QB Coach in 2016, to Head Coach in 2020. That is about as quick a progression as you'd see normally.

Ok... my package has made some progress, so whichever one of you it was that was holding it up in Winnipeg is off the hook. But for some godforsaken reason it is now scanned in to Niagara On The Lake? It's only a 2 hour drive from there to my shop, assuming decent traffic (heh), so hopefully I get them before Christmas Eve...

My impression of Allen as a man is that he isn't the type to start at the bottom rung. Or the second from bottom. He's Damon Allen. You should feel stupid for suggesting it.

Sorry to quote myself here... but @Noeller 'liking' this made me laugh. No wonder the guy won't accept my IG follow.

I am mildly surprised to discover that a not-inconsiderable amount of Christmas gifts I ordered (ok... a few of them are for me), have been stranded in Winnipeg. i) I had no idea that this company, which I am a big fan of and have spent many tens of thousands of dollars with, ships its merchandise out of Manitoba. ii) I can only presume that they are holding it up and jeopardizing my Christmas plans because they know I'm an Argo supporter and are still sore at me after last month.

JFC... another 6 week gap between Home games in the middle of the summer. I'd be furious about this if I were even the faintest bit surprised by it.

I used to think that, but was told by someone that he is in fact Italian.
