There's a lot more to the Ferguson story. The officer involved, along with 8 others, was hired from another police force in a city some 70 miles away which was disbanded due to persistant racially-biased attacks on black citizens which resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in civil suit settlements and the state government stepping in. The intial arrest of the Michael Brown was part of a "stop and frisk" illegal campaign wherein blacks and brown citizens are stopped on the street (arrested) for no reason and searched. The officer did not have any probable cause to stop Brown who was walking home with friends. Yes, Brown may have shoplifted a couple of cigars prior to the incident, but Officer Wilson knew nothing of that. Ferguson is 87% black but has a total of two blacks on the police force, and the two black officers have stated publicly that they experienced at-work harassment and discrimination. In his statements to the Grand jury and his interview on TV (for which he was paid over $100,000) 6'3" 220lb Wilson referred to Brown as an "it" and said he (Wilson) felt like a child being attacked by Brown. Right. Wilson also said he had his gun out before he called Brown over to the car. Does any of that sound like a benign attitude?

Apart from Grigsby's diaper?

Sorry, for some reason I thought you were a woman. No problem. No matter which plumbing i was born with, I am still me and this is far from an insult. He's more machine now, then woman....twisted and evil. Damn.....he's onto me. Now I have to kill him.

Wouldn't your granny object to appearing that way?

I liked Joe Smith but he was an individualist even though he always seemed to produce on the field, and that didn't sit well with the coaches if I recall.

20-20 hindsight is always perfect, isn't it. Had he been with the Bombers this season and played like that, it probably would would have given us another couple of wins. Maybe even got us into the playoffs.

I think Bellefeuille gets a mulligan due to the horrible O-line he inherited and was the worst in the league for most of the year. That really falls on Walters and so I am willing to give Bellefeuille another go at it even though I am not completely sold on him. Etcheverry is another matter altogether and has earned a road map and apple. I still think (and hope) that O'Shea is the right person for head coach but he has to prove that this year.

Good, humorous point. Those of us who fit into the category of middle-class white folks have been in a privileged position for a long time and the problem with being in power is that darned few willingly give it up. Those of us who are AWOGS (angry white old guys) tend to see change of any sort as a threat. This is probably an unconscious reaction to the fading control and power in our own existences as we age. Its always easier to rail at someone else's rise than mourn our own fading.

Well, perhaps he was tuning in to my feminine energy.

Hey! I was pretty close.

Calgary had 2 receivers running side by side- curious.

I thought Madu was running well, so why use Grigsby?

Dumb penalty by Calgary on Sinkfield. That might cost them a TD.

Ooooh- now that kinda tips the scales a bit.

Calgary does not have this game in the bag just yet. If Hamilton can get a quick TD, it might shake the Stamps' confidence and open that door.

Still don't expect the Cats to win but at least its not a complete blow-out.

This game could be over by half-time and Stewart is definitely wearing the horns today.

No one has to "support a gay lifstyle"- all people have to do is treat them the same as everyone else with the same rights and priviledges. Sexuality is not a digital either "perfectly straight" or "totally gay" choice. Sexuality is an analog thing along a sliding scale and homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom as well. I have seen a few examples of homosexuality in animals, but only when the other option wasn't available. I have also seen bulls and boars beat each other into a bloody pulp. At any rate, I don't think comparisons to the animal kingdom help homosexual rights very much. For example, many male mammals and birds do nothing to help raise their offspring. Do we then use that example to defend deadbeat dads? As my last comment on this- homosexual behaviour in animals (including primates) is not contingent on a lack of choice of partners- it appears to be innate. If you think that being gay is a matter of choice, ask yourself: when was the time when you found yourself equally attracted to both genders but made a conscious decision to go one way or another?

But it rose to the surface as his career wore on... Roberts was a once in a generation talent, Grigsby is just another easily replaceable part. Roberts was great but he could have been a CFL legend,

The problem is that some politicians and religious leaders curry favour with neanderthals by bashing gays while indulging in questionable sexual practices themselves in secret.

January has been one of the few bright lights on the O-line for the past few years, but ain't nobody gettin' any younger, so by all means, we need to push him and all the others on the O-line, be they import or non-import.
