    It baffles me why they haven't jumped all in and offer serious rebates and/or at least some kind of plan to get people into EV's and having charge stations installed at homes and at places of business. I'd assume lots of families would have the same mindset of having one EV and one long commute vehicle and would be all in using the electric vehicle during day to day going to work/school/errands.

    The one I saw was like from 10 years ago and talked about how something like 80% of black athletes go broke within 10 years of retirement. It's mostly because of life style and going from rag to riches. It's the opposite in hockey (with the few exceptions) because most of these kids come from middle/upper class families and have a much different upbringing. This is why you see sometimes crazy **** like Micheal Vick or the many pro boxers who just go bankrupt because they are taken advantage of by scummy promoters and/or other leeches who suck the money out of them. It's far better these days since most of the big leagues have financial advisors who help the players prevent blowing money or being taken advantage of.

    I encourage you to watch the now old but still relevant ESPN special about retired black athletes and how/why so many of them are bankrupt within ten years after they retire. You have to remember that lots of these guys just can't handle going from broke to super rich.
  4. It's a very nice city , super clean and super safe and the downtown is alive (unlike here). I'd say Ottawa and Quebec City might be the two best cities in Canada to visit.

    I was thrilled that I was able to extend my Xbox Ultimate Game Pass for 3 more years for only $125 total. I can't believe the "trick" of upgrading gold to ultimate game pass still works after 2 years!

    Guy is a former UFC HW champion and he has to use a gun? Couldn't he just double leg take down the dad and lay some G'N'P instead of using a gun ?

    This seems to make sense:

    Wasn't Ledger a serious drug addict... that might play a role in not sleeping.
  10. Ricky Collins is going on 5 teams in 5 seasons... why can't he stay with a team?
  11. I kind of was implying that Zach would bring the team to the goal line and they would score and this wouldnt' be reflected in his own TD stats. I'm guessing it would be ideal to have a stat for QB's that showed how many TD drives they had.
  12. TDS per game also can get skewed like last season when McGuire plunged in 16 TD's from the goal line.
  13. Strev was much better in his first season with us because the offense he ran was simple and he just made quick reads or busted out big runs when he saw holes. In season 2 they were far to cute with some of the play selection and tried to force big running plays with him far to often. It didn't seem natural. If he were to come back I'd want them to treat him like a normal qb instead of trying to make it seem like he can bust out bulldozing sneaks or weird misdirection sweeps.
  14. What a weird comment. Who has the highest % percentage of all 5 QB's? Answer is Prukop. Who has the best TD/INT ratio? Answer is Prukop. Who has the best Yards per Pass average? Answer is Prukop. Best QB Rating ? Answer is Prukop. Only qb with a 40+ yard run? Answer is Prukop. Now I know he's had limited reps but how can anyone say he's the crappiest guy from that list provided whe he's out performed everyone on that list? The only one who has numbers close to him was Shiltz because he had a good year last season? I don't understand why this guy is a complete bum despite him playing well in his opportunities and he hasn't even entered training camp and already he's a write off that sucks because some guy in Ottawa played and tossed a tonne more ints and looked lost and somehow that makes Caleb Evans a hot prospect?
  15. Wouldn't it be funny if he is a last cut and then is only offered half as much on the open market
  16. Lefors wasn't all that bad
  17. Shocking the Elks sign another good "character" to the roster.
  18. He's good enough to win a Grey Cup with a strong supporting cast. We almost won a cup with Dinwiddie and a much poorer defense.
  19. He is awful based on what? His time last season with a terrible team where he played a whopping one game? Or is his brief gametime in 2019 where he had a 97.1 QB rating ? What deep analysis did you do evaluating his 3rd down and 1 sneaks which made you come to the conclusion that he's terrible.
  20. I think we may have worked together lol. The NFL jerseys were 100% being made from the real factories it was dead on complete with the tags and everything. Lots of Chinese factories keep the machines going on throughout the night and sell products on the side.
  21. Time for everyone to get some new jerseys

    I thought the half time show was pretty underwhelming, it seemed like they did the show on the cheap this year. Also did Snoop really need to lip synch at the start of it? I think a lot of people liked it because it brought nice memories but the performances were pretty bla. It was funny watching 50 cent struggle to catch wind. The game was decent, very average and that last play of the game was a questionable play selection.
  24. Back when it happened I had said that it shouldn't matter if someone was hurt or not, the act itself is terrible and it is "lucky" that nobody was hurt in the end. I don't care if he was the best or worst player in the team, it's a super selfish and stupid thing to do and far worse IMO then taking PED's. Had he ran over a kid while drunk would people still be saying "Give him a chance and only give him a 1 game suspension because people make mistakes in life". I'm not saying the guy is an evil human and should be jailed for life or anything, but clearly he lacks maturity and character and a real professional wouldn't get themselves in trouble like this. The claims of him winning the Grey Cup on his own is probably a stretch or a reach on his words but "if true" it clearly shows he's a selfish and not a typical O'Shea type player. For once I agree with TBurgess... fans really do turn a blind eye when a member of our team does something scummy (such as drinking and driving) and love to bag on players on other teams when they do similar things. Fortunately for us O'Shea has brought in lots of good guys with character so this is an anomaly and not the norm (unlike the typical Riders or Jones teams of the past).
  25. I criticized his character, people gave him a free pass probably because he was our leading receiver.
