All Activity

I dont pretend that I know what any specifics player is thinking, but it has to be frustrating for younger players that have shown promise to be left on the sidelines without a chance to show what they can do other than special teams especially when they see rookies on other teams. Players like Chris-Ike, Shay, Smith even Cam Allen . Its like OShea wants them to wait a year ( unless its forced by injury)

Who is hoping anything? Do you think BC who can't seem to beat anyone other than the Elks is in a better position than the Bombers? Would you take the Riders aging roster, riddled with injuries led by an aging QB who can't push the ball down the field over the Bombers aging roster, with an sub-optimal active roster led by an aging QB who can't seem to push the ball down the field? Would you take Elks roster who spent like drunken sailors on defense only to end up with objectively the worst defense in the league and are trying to shoehorn Tre Ford into a franchise QB role while giving him no reasonable help on offense? NGL Stamps looking pretty good rn though.

I suggest that they are more emotionally attached to their jobs as not only are their incomes dependent on them, but also their egos. And most, if not all pro athletes are ego- driven. That likely applies to the coaches as well.

If anything these guys SHOULD BE bitching more... if JimBob on the other development team gets preferential treatment from my manager maybe I don't get an extra 1% bonus or raise next year, or maybe I have to change jobs and continue my FORTY YEAR career somewhere else so be it. If Dillon Mitchell can't get onto the active roster because MOS wants to parade a bunch of non-import non-participant receivers to play 4 snaps on special teams, he might be out of the game entirely as soon as next year.

Hope is a poor stratagem.

The soup is one of the few things they do make from scratch and some staff have posted the recipes online. So you may be able to find one to replicate. Unrelated to Olive Garden.... my wife just let me have a bite of her Wendy's Fuego chickenburger and I can verify that this sandwich has legit heat with it. My mouth is still sizzling a few minutes afterwards!

If Red Lobster can put their biscuit mix in stores, Olive Garden should put their soups and Breadstick mix in stores (and you better believe I'd buy the Soup in a heartbeat, and even make extra gnocchi)

I was told Booch was THIS GUY!!

I really find it weird that certain people don’t think these players would vent to acquaintances Sometimes I hate my job and I’ll ***** to the mailman if he’d listen. We really tend to glamourize this occupation around here because these guys are pro athletes. They still feel the same as we do about their jobs.

I think that Olive Garden could do well if they were to open smaller shops that offer soups / salads / breadsticks and maybe a few basic items from the menu and/or sandwiches. The current high prices and extreme low quality of food (outside of the soup/salad) will not work in any new area that more then likely already has far better options. The brand itself also mainly appeals to old white people (similar to Swiss Chalet, Sals, Smittys etc...) so long term I'm not sure it can survive without an update.

To be fair, Calgary and Edmonton were the two teams that seemed to be most active / had the least losses over the offseason. It has worked out very well for the Stamps... for the Elks not so much. The Lions are sitting at .500... but they beat the floundering Elks twice and snuck past an injured Als team for their other win. The Riders took a fairly aged team with an otherworldly TO Ratio and ran it back and are in a similar situation to the start as last year, but honestly it seems they have more cracks. The Bombers started 0-4 last year and are 3-1 this year.

We have no reason to believe that the Bombers will be as good as or better than last year. Key players are older, more injury-prone and will take longer to heal. We have the same head coach with the same M.O. as before and we have been trending downward. Moreover, our off-season recruiting has been less than impressive. To top it all off, all the western teams are demonstrably better- with the possible exception of the Edmonton Ungulates.

With Geritol in the water bottles.

My dad and step mom retired to Vancouver island years ago and the food scene there is not good at all. They'd kill for an Olive Garden on the island. A lot of people would. If they are smart they'll put one there. It would make a killing.

Ottawa releases former Bomber 1st Round pick, Anthony Bennett. https://3downnation.com/2025/07/16/ottawa-redblacks-release-former-first-round-pick-anthony-bennett/

well one things for sure I'm not sure there's room for one on my end, not unless they build one deep into Transcona (Henderson sounds more likely)

Interesting. An article from today says the first location will be on Pembina but they are planning on building multiple restaurants in Winnipeg.

well the other thread seems to have disappeared on me so I thought I would start another one and to start it off....Genie done

Memories of Poop Johnson.

agreed. Though I've always thought athletes should be able to bet for themselves. Not against obviously.

It's one thing to bet on games you had no direct influence on. It's something entirely different to bet on games you were actively involved in and had a hand in the outcome of - it calls into question the integrity of the game and the league. Terrible decision.

Big blow to Toronto and their Oline https://3downnation.com/2025/07/15/ryan-hunter-out-long-term-for-toronto-argonauts-after-being-hit-by-car/

I'm all for appropriate second chances because us humans suck just try to suck less but this one makes no sense imo.

Okay guess I'll have time to watch both Hocus Pocus movies on Halloween (unless ABC airs them during Disney Sunday movie) *goes to the website* SIX.....STRAIGHT...AFTER 9 PM GAMES *eye twitches* (on the other hand they may not have to worry about rescheduling in the event of a Bomber playoff game) Prime games are December 1st, 15th, 29th and April 6th
