Whoa, whoa. We meant August 13 on the Mayan calendar. Keep up, would ya?- Calgary Suckage
Is he not also suffering from stomach and ankle problems?- Calgary Suckage
If honestly has been surprising to see the older QBs who were banged up at the end of 2019 not having healed in the 2 year break. Kind of like the old NHLers who couldn’t keep up after the ‘06 lockout. Of those 3, I would bet Nichols will never recover, Reilly will (if they let him actually rest enough to heal), and BLM is the wild card if he gets the proper surgery and recovery time, still might not be enough- US Politics
In the alternative, Biden and Harris will both be impeached after the SCOTUS 9-0 ruling, the Senate elections will be overturned and the Republicans will take back control. Trump will be immediately installed as Speaker of the House and as 3rd in command he will slide back into the big boy chair. Easy peasy. What, you need to be elected in as a Senator first? Don’t waste my time with that voting nonsense.- US Politics

There was fraud. The media on CNN need to start reporting this and stop fact checking things” It’s always nice to know you are better than someone.- Covid-19

Said she was abusing her power and subverting the will of the Government.- CFL Week 2 Games (Non-Bombers) Thread

With his size, hands and not blazing speed he should be a Joe Pop possession slot back and not a wideout.- Your CFL Haiku of the Game

This offence does have more in the tank to give, I agree there. Bailey and Wolitarsky need to be involved early IMO.- Champs vs Argos
Offensively we look the same as last week, but we didn’t really light it up against Hamilton. Receivers not named Lawler and Demski need to step up. Defensively, without the pressure up front our back end was susceptible to getting picked apart (see opening drive). Now we have lost Richardson, Willie might not play, and Jeffcoat is beat up. That’s 3 of our starting 4 on the d-line, hardly “mostly intact”. Add to that the loss of Josh Johnson on the back end, no faith shown in our FG game, and our return specialist gone, and 2/3 of the 3 parts of our team have been noticeably weakened. I bet Bombers this week, and if we play a LaPo style run heavy eat up the clock limit turnovers type of offence and keep MBT from field time to rack up yards, and we deploy our linebackers more in the pass rush, we win. But if Willie does sit I fear I would regret my bet. Hope I am wrong. As always cheering with my heart, but hedging my bets with my head.- CFL Week 2 Games (Non-Bombers) Thread

Astoundingly, in the Stampeders’ 77 year history, they have never opened the season 0-2 with both losses at home, until this year.- CFL Week 2 Games (Non-Bombers) Thread
I didn’t even know this game was on tonight. Caught the last 4 minutes and saw: Calgary waste a minute of clock just to move a field goal up 6 yards with a 9 point deficit BC force Calgary to burn their timeout and with a 2nd and 3 within field goal range, then call a pass play instead of running the ball to keep the clock moving where a first down could have run out the clock a Calgary returner decide to bring a missed field goal out to the one foot line instead of conceding a point on a one score game The refs miss a push-off on an INT that should have been interference BC gamble on 3rd and 7 instead of trying another field goal (not too surprising given their kicker) or punting down to the Stampeder 5 yard line or so BLM throw 3 swing passes when they needed to drive the field quickly BC defenders batting the Hail Mary up in the air instead of to the ground If the rest of the game was as poorly executed as the last 4 minutes, I’m thankful I forgot it was on. Judging by the score, I am guessing it was.- Lock of the Week 2

Hopeful on Stove and Willie. Anyone who gets pulled mid-game and then is not at practice is more concerning g than those who finish the game and then take a practice or two off.- CFL Week 1 Games (Non-Bombers) Thread

Worried about Grant being out a while since he was carried to the locker room at the half. Also not betting on Adams, Harris, or Wilson being back this week.- Week 1 thoughts and review
Would it step on your point to note that there are 2 i’s in “idiot”? ”The Duron Carter of RBs” is just the perfect description, though.- Week 1 thoughts and review
Well done sir. So, if you were so prescient with Lawler, why did you not win Lock of the Week?
