    Maestro has been a big Argo fan for years. He was on the plane with The Argoholics when we headed for Grey Cup 1991 in Winnipeg. This was when he was Fresh Wes. The guy and his well known manager partied and drank with us. The was back in the day when a Grey Cup flight was more like a house party. We all brought our own 26ers. Both he and his manager where just GREAT guys.

    Well i think it was determined long ago that Steve Simmons is an IDIOT,(and he doesnt work for the CFL's broadcast partner). That said Hedger and Taylor have just become pledge members of the same IDIOT club, (pending an apology).

    Lame.
    I work with 70% females, and many of my bosses are female, and they wouldn't be offended ... it's all in the delivery.

    Acknowledge but insulted is a lil better than not being acknowledged at all, IMO.

    Barker and Milanovich couldn't care less what TSN says. Perhaps Copeland (who actually has a Twitter account) could've chimed in, even in a jokingly way.

    Agreed, my comment was in regards to Michael Copeland and our ownership. It's something that they should be responding to, not Barker or Milanovich.

    Totally true, you have to fight back (with facts) or the abuse continues. It's always funny to watch them back peddle as they are not used to having to defend the opinion and have no facts at hand to prove the point and are easily made to look hypocritical and stupid.

    The argument you hear often is "it isn't the best" and "I only follow the best" For the soccer people the argument I used was for years La Liga (Spain) and the Bundesliga (Germany) were rated better leagues with better players and competitiveness than the EPL (England). Does that mean you can't watch the EPL (or MLS for that matter)

    Just remember the people you are dealing with are attracted by puppy dogs and shiny objects, if you're prepared, they're easy pickins.

    I get a kick out of people who feel they have to "defend" people who don't want (or need) to be defended.

    I find this hilarious.

    "Some recent campus actions border on the surreal.

    In April, at Brandeis University, the Asian American student association sought to raise awareness of microaggressions against Asians through an installation on the steps of an academic hall. The installation gave examples of microaggressions such as “Aren’t you supposed to be good at math?” and “I’m colorblind! I don’t see race.”

    But a backlash arose among other Asian American students, who felt that the display itself was a microaggression. The association removed the installation, and its president wrote an e-mail to the entire student body apologizing to anyone who was “triggered or hurt by the content of the microaggressions.”

    Yeah as soon as I go to these Facts they usually back down / shut up:

    Highest level of Canadian Rules Football in the world.

    Second highest Sports TV Ratings in Canada. (NHL is # 1)

    If you like football, why wouldn't you want more football? Especially in the Summer.

    Most of these people are wannabees who are unable to stand out from the crowd. If they say they don't watch NCAA football, then you've really got them because they are not football fans at all.

    Ha. I only watch CFL, CIS, and NFL. Guess I'm not a real football fan.

    You gotta be some Nazi Germany level weirdo if you think rating individuals in the sex you're naturally attracted to is demeaning. It's human friggin' nature.

    Ricky Ray is a straight ten all day. I'm not even gay, he is just that much of a beauty.
