Why does this surprise you? The whining started in 2023 and we've won our division twice and went to two Grey Cups in that time span. The agenda is strong here and wins won't get in the way of that. We could have pitched a shut out and people would be complaining how the defence could have not only secured the shut out but scored points if Jake Thomas didn't get his twelve snaps in that game. Nah....we had the same whining in 2023 and 2024. It's just baked in now.

yep colon cancer.

Insight....sure. They will not privately criticize their team or team mates outside the dressing room or give a lot away about locker room dynamics. Just doesn't happen. I won't name names, but during the Mike Kelly days, I had a former player who was a daily customer of mine at my sports bar. We got to know each other very well, he would come to my house couple times a week even for beers. He would talk about the team, but never in much detail and very diplomatically. If he had something bad to say he just wouldn't say it and he told me as much. He was a professional and this is ingrained in being a professional. He ended up on another CFL team during Kelly's reign, and when he came back to town he stopped in. That is when the truth came out. It was shocking because what he told me I would never have guessed from the hours I spent with him talking. They are extremely guarded and protective of the dressing room. If they aren't the leaders of the team will take them to task. If that doesn't work you usually see them down the road.

I think the "whining" is coming from the frustration in several of the other games this season.

Not even a little bit debatable. Fastest way to be shunned by your team mates is by talking dressing room with people outside the dressing room. I would bet big dollars that applies even more under FIFO. Players may talk to outsiders but it's more of them just kind of telling them whatever they wanna hear vs, the truth. If a guy loves the coach, the player will praise him. If the guy hates the coach. the player will go along with it. It isn't the truth. It's just a player, a lot of times, just humoring a fan. If he's healthy he likely will. Those guys get an apple and a road map pretty quick.

Young people only eat Ramen noodles 🤣

Demski

Jake is a real estate agent in the Maritimes.... At some point he'll go do that full time, I'd imagine.

Signing Jake as depth is not a huge issue. Using Jake as if he's prime Doug Brown = huge issue.

Boomers? The drive thru is always busy so I'm assuming they still sell lots of coffee?

Demski had time off because his wife just had a kid on Monday or Tuesday.

It’s been removed from the post. There’s only a handful of records I would want from v1. Too many all-time NHL worst that has me NOT wanting them at all. Let UTAH retain those,

this would be incredible, even though deep down I feel like the 2.0 team has created it's own history in a way

UFL is like an updated XFL. Owned by a dude and his ex wife and a tv station. It’s all about ratings and gate I’d assume. They doing ok in a few markets (st Louis would put 40k for the cfl ) but obviously not so well in 3 they just moved to smaller venues like oh I dunno the size of BMO or MCGill or Hamilton Stadium. Any news on Elgersma. Lol

Jake Thomas to the Atlantic Schooners in 2027. E5 I wonder if he’s interested in coaching or if he’ll just go home after this season. I think the writing on the wall there. I mean I’d hope they don’t give him a new contract cuz if they do he will sign it I’m sure. it’s one of those well they keep offering me money to play so why not kind of things. How you fix it is in the off season you don’t sign him. Kyle signed him. Don’t care if ppl say O’Shea, Kyle signed him. The GM signed the contract. Memo to Kyle or New GM… Don’t sign Jake Thomas.

Most guys likely playing through minor perhaps even more than minor injuries. Demski definitely been banged up this year so no issue giving guys who are likely a bit to more than a bit banged up a day or 2.

I knew we’d win the grey cup against Hamilton cuz it was my daughter’s birthday and we went to watch a movie while the game was on. Cuz birthday. I remember just having this feeling the whole time like damn the streak is over and sure enough got out and it was. I preferred beating Hamilton in Hamilton tho. I remember tsn pretty much crying and the stadium just in absolute shock. It might be the greatest sports moment in Winnipeg history honestly. We crushed the city of Hamilton tsn and the Ticats hopes that game and they haven’t really recovered since honestly. They look ok this year beating up on 2nd string QBs pretty much. But, they still feeling that crushing loss. They also now have the longest GC drought.

He puts up 100 points a year. If he was up 2 years ago and scheif and Helle were up now trust me Kyle would be 8.5 and 55 and 37 be 12. But I lol’d tho when I saw Eichel got 13. KC isn’t even top 5 paid in the league lol.

Argos entering hibernation mode. McManis got shut down for the season https://3downnation.com/2025/10/08/toronto-argos-shut-down-star-lb-wynton-mcmanis-with-groin-injury-report/

Jake signed a lifetime contract. He'll be here every year going forward until he is replaced by one of his kids.

And even that required a bounce up and over off the upright. --> <-- close to a shutout

Ufl is different. The franchises aren't necessarily broke. As they're all owned by the league or something like that. The TV deal they have with fox could be huge for the CFL.other than that, there's nothing though.

I'm old enough to remember when they introduced Whole Wheat and Honey bagels, heck they introduced four cheese while I was in College
