  1. Personally, I agree that Harper's hands were tied and as Strome said, any party in power would have done the same. However, I think the point is, that the Cons are now making political hay out of the Liberals giving up on recovering the debt, even though they have to know that it's a lost cause. It isn't so much the Cons making the mess in the first place, it's criticizing the Liberals for not cleaning it up.
  2. Well, that was a perfect example of what's wrong with this team... With a mathematical (albeit slim) chance of making the playoffs with a win, the 'Caps are content with a draw. Needing another goal, Dalrymple removes both Reyna and Hurtado from the game and we're left with Anthony Blondell as our striker.
  3. Meanwhile, my Sooners got back in the winning column yesterday with a win over the Horned Frogs. We're definitely going to need some more upsets, but a playoff spot isn't out of the question....
  4. Always liked Michigan, but the performance by Devin Bush Jr. at midfield has "bad Karma" written all over it....
  5. Yep. I think most football fans outside of Ohio are happy for @Isam and the Tigers today. BTW: Scary incident back at Clemson: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/21/us/clemson-floor-collapse/index.html Thankfully, no life-threatening injuries...
  6. I can't speak for anyone else, but I absolutely need beer....
  7. Meh. I think it would be just getting rid of anthems.... Much like tearing down confederate statues doesn't "change history"....
  8. Might as well sign him now... Just imagine if his first name was Neil, instead of Colin...
  9. Meh. I don't need to hear a song to know what went on in the 1910's, or the '30's and '40's.... This whole idea of tying the anthem to the military is hackneyed, IMHO.
  10. Nobody likes Notre Dame outside of South Bend. (and people who can't get over the movie Rudy) I'd like to see the Tigers do well this season, basically because they're not 'Bama, or OSU (and because my Sooners crapped the bed against the Longhorns)
  11. Personally, I'd take Kaep in a heartbeat, if and when Travis decides to hang em up. (or gets injured again) Huge upgrade over JJ and I don't care if he does a Black Panther salute after every completion.
  12. If the Eskies were smart, they'd rehire Dunigan as head coach and have Maas replace him in the 4th quarter of every game. That was the only way he was effective as a QB...
  13. Wouldn't bother my in the slightest. As far as I'm concerned, the national anthem before sporting events is a waste of time and I usually flip the channel. (unless it's Mark Donnelly....then I watch to see if he's going to trip over something while he's singing) If it were up to me, the only time we'd here the Canadian National anthem, is after yet another Olympic gold medal...
  14. I think there are a couple of different schools (pun intended) of thought on this.... On one hand, the "xBox" comment is warranted. There are plenty of entitled kids who aen't much interested in working. That being said, there are more opportunities for young people now than there were when I was in high school. 8 years ago, I took the Electrical Foundations program at my local college, (where I now work) after being laid off from my construction job. There were students in that class taking the course through a high school program, that allowed them to take the course (paid for with school board funds) as an elective, with credits towards graduation and a foot in the door for an apprenticeship in the field. (There were also Plumbing, Carpentry, Welding and Culinary Arts electives available for qualifying students) I know I would have killed for such an opportunity back in 1979, but such programs didn't exist back in those days.
  15. Looks like the NFL is having a tough time finding a performer for the Super Bowl halftime show: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/entertainmentmusic/rihanna-and-pink-both-turned-down-super-bowl-halftime-show-exclusive/ar-BBOBzc6?li=AAggSpD Not to worry though, I'm sure 3 Doors Down, or Toby Keith are available....
  16. I'm feeling like Chuck Norris should be in that quote somehow.....
  17. Speaking of Brownies.... ......I want this kid to run my next business: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/cannabis/girl-guide-sells-out-of-cookies-near-cannabis-store/ar-BBOzGal?ocid=spartandhp
  18. I think there's something to be said for that. We've seen players like Miller and Camillo who were great players, but not really invested in the club. Then you have a guy like Teibert, who leaves it all out there, but unfortunately isn't as skilled as a lot of players.
  19. I was flipping back and forth with a bunch of other sports and I guess it was a good start. The Cavs without LeBron are a team the Raps should beat, but I wasn't overwhelmed. Still, teams like the Spurs and Bulls before them used to do that all the time...take care of business and get the W, even if it isn't a dominating performance every night,
  20. I agreed with Dalrymple subbing Shea....he was crap all night, but Felipe? Seriously?
  21. That was such a let down last night....after a promising start, to just fold in the 2nd half....
  22. Well....that and the fact that he was a pending free agent that brought a pretty decent return from the Dodgers...
  23. I agree. It was obviously intentional and suspension worthy, IMO. However, there's basically zero chance that MLB will do anything about it.
  24. This is the kind of POS that gives hunters a bad name: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/us/blake-fischer-idaho-fish-game-hunting-controversy-trnd/index.html
