Happy Draftmas Eve, for all those that celebrate! The football season is about to begin!
NFL draft tomorrow, CFL draft on April 30th, and my beloved Blue Bombers open their rookie camp on May 8th. Looking forward to 8 months of football action!
This video is 6 years old, so there is nothing new here. Even so,
(1) It sure gets my adrenaline going, and
(2) It's hard not to choke up a little when Don Wittman begins speaking at 1:58 in.
One hell of a game by Rachel Homan and her team! Team Canada wins the Worlds for the first time since Jennifer Jones in 2018. Her "3" in the 9th end sealed the deal.
It's been a long time since I've seen a scam attempt this silly. Kind of makes you pine for the good old days when it was a whole lot easier to avoid online fraud.
After several years, I just finished rewatching "Searching for Sugar Man". 10/10 - just an absolutely amazing story. Hairs standing up on the back of my neck, tears streaming down my face.
It's a documentary about a musician - that's all I'll say, for those that haven't seen it. It's too good a story to ruin.
In Canada, it's free to watch on Amazon Prime. I can guarantee you won't regret watching it, especially you @JeffDanielswpg.
It's been a long time since I considered myself a Mark Scheifele fan. Between his lack of defensive "desire" and doubling-down after wiping out the Canadiens player in the playoffs, he's completely turned me off.
However, that play in the crease is a good start to changing my opinion of him. Or perhaps it's simply evidence that he's finally maturing into a more complete and intelligent player.
Intermission panels are almost universally terrible, regardless of sport or network. But this SportsNet panel is the worst of the worst. I think I'd rather watch non-stop Save-On-Foods commercials than these guys. Capital-A awful.
I didn't watch the post game from KC, so just saw Mahomes and Reid complaining about Toney being offside. I was super-disappointed that the play didn't count (WHAT A PLAY!!!), but the replay clearly showed that Toney was 100% offside. Easy call, and the right one. It's a high school level error by a professional who should know better. #NFL
The Niners look like they are on their way to grabbing the lead in the NFC thanks to the Cowboys. The biggest challenge for the Niners will be the Ravens in two weeks. Which means that they will almost certainly lose next week to the Cardinals in a classic trap game. #NFL
@JeffDanielswpg I'm at the Fort Garry Mennonite Brethren Church blood donation clinic right now. Highlight so far is "One Love". It will be hard to beat, but I will keep you posted.
My wife got some bad health news last Tuesday, and she's now going through the CancerCare MB intake process.
Our healthcare capabilities in Manitoba are awful. 3 weeks for a CT scan, and 6 weeks for an "urgent" appt with a gynecologist. Multiple prov govts have taken the easy way out by promising low taxes and letting healthcare (and almost everything else) crater.
We need to demand that politicians give us the straight goods, not what we necessarily want to hear.
