  2. Yep that was great... my favourite ones were the people who tried to tell us that the builders accidentally designed the stadium for an NFL field. God people can be stupid sometimes.
  3. The thing is, the Jags needed a QB. They obviously had Bortles rated the highest, so in reality it is hard to fault them for making that pick. Every analyst I saw had the top 3 or 4 QBs jumbled in different orders... There really wasn't one guy who was head and shoulders above the rest. Personally I was thrilled with the Vikings getting Bridgewater at 32. I think that is a steal, regardless of how shitty Bridgewater's pro day went.
  4. I don't mind that pick... Tom Brady will be 37 this season and he's not going to play forever. The pick that struck me as odd was the Browns using their first pick on Justin Gilbert, a cornerback. But they were still able to grab Manziel later on so it ended up looking like an okay move, I guess.
  5. LDT finally went in the sixth round to the Chiefs. David Foucault was not drafted but has already gotten an invite to Carolina Panthers mini-camp.
  6. Pretty much says it all. Old boys club extraordinaire.
  7. The interesting thing about Duane's article is that he thinks there will be a run on offensive linemen to start the draft. I've also had that feeling... and I think there may be the top 7-9 OL gone by the end of the second round, possibly pushing some decent linebacker or receiver prospects back to us....

    I don't believe that's a cliche... There's a reason the guy can't keep a job for long. Trying to re-invent the wheel is a giant red flag. If those ideas were so good other teams would copy them, the CFL is a copy cat league. If something works everyone does it, I don't see anyone copying Etchevary Cliche was the wrong word but I couldn't think of the right one. The jury is very much out on Etcheverry but the man's defences have won quite a few games in this league... and that is an undeniable fact.
  9. Bauman is a POS receiver. I saw what he did in Calgary when he got on the field with the Stamps between injuries & it was virtually nothing. He also was paid a 6 figure salary. You think the Bombers should pay Bauman that? I don't. He's a CFL draft bust now with 3 teams. We'd have been better off to keep Jade Etienne if we sign this dude. At 6 figures, no chance. I'm surprised to hear he was making that much with that Stamps. Is that a confirmed figure?? And did he actually get on the field? Can't remember ever seeing him play this season.
  10. Similar, and I ĺike Onrea Jones, but he doesn't run routes as nice as Denmark IMO.
  11. Tom Brodbeck is going to **** a brick

    His track record as a DC in this league is not that bad. Over 5 seasons as a CFL DC, he has posted a 42-46-2 record, with 4 playoff appearances and 2 Grey Cup appearances. The one year he missed the playoffs was in 2000 with Saskatchewan and if you remember what was going on with the Riders in 2000, it is pretty tough to lay the blame on him for that one.The fact of the matter is that people are up in arms because he is unconventional in his approach, nothing more. It has nothing to do with winning or losing, which is the really strange thing. I guess some people are just afraid to take chances and would rather go with a known loser like Kavis Reed than swing for the fences with a guy like Etcheverry. You manipulating stats to support your point of view... His defences being good only lasts untill opposing offences figure him out Feel free to use stats to support your view. "His defences being good only lasts untill opposing offences figure him out" That is just a cliche that has been repeated by Rider fans over the last few years, based on one season where things went south after Labour Day (though they still made the Grey Cup). Doesn't mean it's necessarily true.
  13. Atomic's? Cause my argument isnt my argument. Its the argument of many doctor's, scientists and nutritionists. Although it does suck that milk is unhealthy. Many doctors, scientists, and nutritionists take the opposite position. This is undeniable. The mistake you're making is that you believe that your position is unanimously supported by doctors, etc, which is obviously untrue. And you are claiming that any of those professionals who disagree are just part of the milk lobby or whatever your position is on them.
  14. I wouldn't, considering he is useless in pass coverage. I would be interested in bringing in Cody Husband.
  15. Also mentioned Louie Richardson, Stafford Gatling, and Kenny Tate will get reps at MLB in training camp. No mention of Terrell Parker, interestingly.
  16. You're doing the exact same thing that you are accusing us of. I say meat and milk can be part of a healthy diet, and you turn around and say "show me one person who says you need to eat as much meat and dairy as possible!!" Seriously, what is that? It doesn't have to be all or nothing, and that is the point that you just don't seem to understand.
  17. Playing big in a small body gets you hurt. Ian Wild seemed pretty resilient last season.
  18. The best part is that he claims it is common sense but he didn't know it until he read it in a book. Unclear on the definition of common sense I suppose.
  19. Never once said humans NEED milk. My position is that it can be part of a healthy diet that leads to a long, healthy life.
  20. Okay, fair enough. If you want some facts, give me some time to give this the effort it deserves. I'm at work right now, but I will get back to this on the weekend.
  21. Optimum according to their opinion, not any sort of scientific reasoning. You believe it is optimum simply because they have told you it is. You have not presented a single fact in this entire thread, other than "read the China Study" and "I love milk so you can trust me." If you are going to try and present something as being factually correct, be prepared to support it with facts. Otherwise don't whine when you get called out on it.
  22. Amazing that the debate rages on amongst nutritionists, doctors, scientists, and others, but here we have The Unknown Poster telling us that he "knows THE optimum way to eat" to achieve long life, fitness, etc. Your words, not mine. Maybe you need to open your eyes and realize that the milk lobby isn't the only group peddling lies.
  23. Funny how in your mind, your opinion = common sense. To me, common sense is that you should eat a balanced diet. I eat meat, dairy, grains, and lots of fruits and vegetables. I am in perfect health, so I'm going to keep eating that way. That's common sense. Reading a book and accepting it as the basis for your new lifestyle is not common sense. It is being easily swayed by a guy with some numbers that try to say that correlation = causation. Again, search google and find the critics of the China Study. It is blatantly obvious that it is a flawed study.
  24. Your research can't stop with The China Study. Your first impulse after reading a book like that should be to seek out the criticisms of it to see how well the facts hold up. Don't take one guy's word for it... challenge it. There are plenty of critics of The China Study out there, just do a Google search. Reading one book and accepting it as some kind of nutrition gospel is just a terrible idea.
