Ignorance is actually a noun. The adjective form would be ignorant.

They won the Cup his last year in Chicago. He couldn't have been that big of a distraction. Then they brought him back a few years later when he was off his big contract.

Or Nic Petan was the glue that held this team together...

He's a moron, plain & simple. His using the ficticious example of Brock vs Rhonda as proof that inter-gender matches aren't realistic is absolutely idiotic. It's no more unrealistic than a guy like Elsworth taking on Strowman (which did happen). For what he's saying to be true, you have to completely ignore the millions of completely ridiculous things that have happened in wrestling history. News flash for Drake, nobody actually gave birth to a hand, the Undertaker isn't really dead, Kane isn't his brother and his face isn't burnt. But I guess it's still real for him damn it!

If you think a major tenet of feminism is that women shall never be questioned or disciplined, I don't think you understand the concept of feminism.

Just say, "Republican".

Next Bomber jersey of mine is gonna be a Leggett. Just loved watching that guy play. So clutch.

Hated the way you left, but loved the way you played..

SanchezDavis2‏Verified account @DavisSanchez FollowFollow @DavisSanchez More Sources tell me #Redblacks are so disgruntled because of the way former OC Jamie Elizondo departed. They believe Elizondo had known for sometime he was leaving to #XFL yet didn’t inform the organization. Instead stayed on staff therefore was a part of coaches meetings & planning. Sense is this stems from the teams refusal to allow Elizondo to interview for the Riders HC job a few months back . I reached out to Elizondo today and he didn’t want to comment

So Scheif and Wheeler are lazy, locker room cancers, and possibly sleeping with teammates wives? Good thing we got to the bottom of this.

Drake is getting a lot of heat over this. I think its more of an ego thing. The whole men vs women is pretty silly in wrestling. For most women wrestlers, they have worked with men a lot. Their trainers are almost always men (remember it was a big deal when WWE hired Sara Del Rey to work at the performance centre, later also adding Winnipeg's Sarah Stock). They always work men when their first starting out because most indy promotions dont have a lot of women wrestlers. So Drake's point that its not realistic, well, wrestling isnt really that realistic in the first place. Watch a UFC fight and then watch a WWE match. I sort of think you want to avoid women vs men when you get to a certain level because you should be pushing women rather then making the point that they arent as good by having them work men. But as part of a story, sure, why not? Who cares, really. And not working Tessa?? Like geeeze, she's great. Super fit and strong. Drake was wrong.

It's a little more complicated than they all support Trump or none support Trump. The poor and uneducated are targeted by the military for enlistment and that plays to Trump's base. Minorities are also targetted (for the same reason), but Trump does poorly with that demographic. Also keep in mind that 25% of respondents in a Military Times poll (2017) reported witnessing white nationalist behavior among fellow troops (it's no mystery who they support): https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2017/10/23/military-times-poll-one-in-four-troops-sees-white-nationalism-in-the-ranks/ Presidential visits are lousy indicators of troop support as expressing opposition would be viewed as insubordination to the Commander-In-Chief. It's also a common belief that military personnel lean right (and I have plenty of anecdotal evidence supporting this (but I don't believe in anecdotal evidence)), but that doesn't necessarily ring true at the voting booth: "123,724,157 Americans voted in 2016 (not counting votes for 3rd party candidates). If ten percent of the voters were active troops or inactive veterans, then about 12.4 million represents the military vote. If we divide the military pie into 8 slices, the slice that represents combat vets is about 1.55 million troops, but the other seven slices total 10.199 million troops that served in non-combat positions. Combat vets who voted for Trump = 930k Combat vets that voted for Clinton = 620k Non-Combat vets/troops that voted for Trump = 4.774 million Non-Combat vets/troops that voted for Clinton = 5.425 million Total for Trump = 5,704,000 Total for Clinton = 6,045,000" https://thesoulfulveteran.com/tag/who-did-the-us-military-really-vote-for-in-the-2016-us-election/

That plus booting out 2 candidates earlier for their racist and intolerant views. Those guys are crazy town. Thankfully the polling shows that people are shifting towards the NDP. Not that I ever thought I'd wind up hoping for an NDP win, but good lord no desire to see Jason Kenney as premier here. Guy will set the province back decades.

A nice recap of Bomber signings since November.. https://lastwordoncanadianfootball.com/2019/04/01/winnipeg-blue-bombers-free-agent-signings-last-four-months/

I think this is the major plus of him signing. From what I've read and watched he seemed to be very well respected and isn't a stooge or a dink like Bruce Pritchard or Jim Cornette. A veteran who can put aside his ego and really help them out.

I think similar team as All In. Excalibur...Alex marvez I believe. Maybe JR. Yeah he really struggled. But he’s so associated with the last big boom period....I’d put him on commentary but not as the play by play. Leave that to someone else. Let JR call the drama. But hugely experienced in the office.

JR and Excalibur.

This is a big reason I'm a fan of Johnny Impact / Mundo / Defy / Morrison. He always makes his opponents look awesome. I bet any random MBB poster could have a great-looking match against him. He got beat by Randy Myers at Defy, which is a ridiculous outcome based on wrestling talent, but it was still a great match. Morrison played straight man (literally) to Myers' weirdo hero shenanigans and got distracted into a surprise pin. Totally popped the Defy crowd where Myers is kind of a fave.

Interesting take from Ambrosie.............

Next time just remind them that you convinced the #1 wrestler in the world to lay down for a 50 year old commentator in front of 20 people 😉

Couldn't be happier for that entitled fan base...

Trump already planting the seed that the '20 election will be rigged, yeah this election is going to be a tire fire

Whoa. Not what I expected. I am very intrigued.

As for Dunigan, I can confirm that there was no doubt in his mind all week that he would play, despite how serious the injury was. But he did not practice or throw a pass until he got the shoulder shot full of painkillers in the hotel ballroom at dinner time on the Saturday, then tried some throws while Argo coaches and medical staff watched. He wrote about this in his book (written with the late, great Jim Taylor). His description to me of how the needles felt and how he felt during the game were pretty vivid and graphic, but I will save most of that for the book.

Ask the Hawks about that.......Patrick Sharp rotted that team apart almost single handedly a few years ago.

Someone said something about a locker room issue like someone sleeping with someone else's wife......I'm not saying it's THAT per se, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if there was a "situation" within the room that's causing a lot of internal strife among the players. This team just looks like they're playing out the string and not a group of 23 (or whatever) playing for one another. There's definitely some kinda cancer in the room....wouldn't surprise me at all.

Its head coach or bust if hes not in Winnipeg

I don't think it's one single player dragging them down. It feels like the majority of the players are just playing with low intensity and really half assed. I'm hoping Maurice can turn it around but next season if they are playing like this.... the target will be on him. I don't think one trade would make any difference for us.

And what will happen on a cloudy, windless day? No power, no productivity. Another win for the Flat-Earthers!

It was in front of section S in the north east corner.

I don't understand the inability to reduce scoring chances in the slot... its literally every game that our goalies are hammered from close range I really think everyone got cocky - including Maurice - during that early season run... and let the 'hybrid zone' D take a life of its own You often see two defensemen caught following the puck Now add the fact that Scheif and Wheeler are gassed... I don't see much of an answer with two games left I would: - sit Myers for a game and play Niku - at the very least for a rest for him - Copp-Scheif-Wheeler / Perrault-Little-Ehlers / Connor-Hayes-Roslo / Laine-Lowry-Tanev Copp, Roslo and Perrault are the only guys playing with heart right now... Laine might give some scoring punch to our checking line

Every player on the roster minus 2 guys have played with someone different.. 2 guys haven't.. Can anyone guess who those 2 are?? This is what causes dressing room issues... The constant playing of 55 and 26 regardless of how good or bad they are.. Regardless of how poor they are in the D zone.. Still on the PK.. Still out giving up leads with 1 minute to go. Still running the team.. Im pretty convinced 55 and 26 tell Maurice when they want ice and he says ok.. This is the likely cause of concern in the room.

Laine might be a bit of a problem, how many opportunities/situations has he been given this season? team almost seems to have revolved around him. I suppose at some point some of the players might get sick of that One thing for sure.... it's not Laine! 😅

FWIW After 80 games... 2017/18 50-20-10 = 110pts (Jets won 9 of last 10) 2018/19 46-30-4 = 96pts (.500 since Xmas)

Edited it out just as you posted someone on tv lied.

?? We’ve had 12 shots.... 1shot..... more than halfway through the 2nd period.

I remember 1 beer can and one snow ball.

Well the boys might be golfing earlier this year... This is bad.

not when you're operating by the Karl Rove playbook. McCain, shot down, wounded, POW, is scum cause he criticized the caudillo. The Caudillo, five time draft dodger, deserves a full military parade in his honour. These people are blind. Even my idiot bro in law has figured out Trump is scum. Zontar should go back to the Ticats forum.

You may find about 20 different people who claim to be the person who chucked the beer can on this site. I was sitting in the temporary stands about 15 rows up in the northeast corner (where the old "Rum Hut" would later be situated) and saw Ismail run back the kick right in front of me. Did not see the beer can until it whizzed over my head and on to the field. Can't say where it came from in that section, but it was a ways up in the stands. Two memories of John Candy, both from a game earlier in the year in Winnipeg. The Argos sideline was more than just players and coaches - there was a real entourage of management and hangers-on down on the sidelines it felt like every game. Add that to the money being thrown about by McNall on the players, and a bit of arrogance from the players, and I can say that the Argos were NOT the crowd favorite on Grey Cup Sunday. They refused to be introduced individually and asked to be introduced as a team for the starting line-ups, which I suppose is OK to represent that no one player matters, and yet they each walked out (slowly, I might add) individually in single file with their helmets off and raised above their heads (akin to a wrestler entering the ring - I could all but hear the intro music playing for them) rather than a group run on to the field. Anyway, back to Candy. He was the antithesis of this attitude. Very fun loving guy who wanted to be on the sidelines not to be part of the spectacle but because he was such a true fan, living out his fantasy, without a shred of false humility. In the regular season game in October, when he came out, the Bombers' PA announcer noted that Candy had donated $20,000 to the local Winnipeg Firefighter's toy drive (I later discovered Candy tried to keep this anonymous, and it was the firefighters who tipped off the Bombers, who chose to announce it). Candy was standing on the east sidelines, and rather than the usual booing and catcalls that would emanate from those stands to opposing players, Candy was hailed with shouts of "Hey, it's Uncle Buck!", "Gil Fisher:, and :Schmengie brothers forever!" The in-house DJ then played a video clip from "Home Alone" where Candy introduces his polka band and starts playing the clarinet in the rental van. Fans ate It up and were dancing in the stands. Candy was laughing his head off and waving at all the Bomber fans, clearly surprised, overjoyed and yet humbled by the adoration. I have never witnessed that kind of affection from Bomber fans to any visiting opponent. Some have said the day he died, a bit of the Argos died too, never to recover completely. One last random memory of Grey Cup '91, that was the year the Stampeders re-claimed the tradition of riding a horse into the lobby of a hotel. First done in 1948 at the Royal York in Toronto, the horse had not made another attempt until Winnipeg in 1991, but that year it made its triumphant return and strode into the lobby of the Fort Garry hotel, and has been doing so (or attempting to) at every Calgary Grey Cup since. Hope you enjoy your time in Winnipeg this summer, and since you made sure to mention how cold it was during Grey Cup week, hopefully you will mention how warm it gets in the summer in Winnipeg and dispel the myth that we are an igloo year-round.

I would imagine Mark Chapman's name will pop up. A receiver who is the former 1st overall pick in the CFL draft would become available too. I wonder if he's somebody Hamilton would be looking to trade at this point. He kind of made a decent decision.. Make a decent chunk of change in the AAF while not playing and can now get 1st overall type cfl money and be in camp in a few weeks.

THE xfl though will follow a similar fate..maybe not as fast but I bet only one "complete" season Probably see a flurry of signings in the CFL though in the next few days...not earth shattering ones but significant ones in a few instances...

RIP - AAF 2019-2019. They say only the good die young. They were wrong.

And just like that it’s over Remember when this league was going to ruin the CFL. Must be a lot of CFL media that feel silly with them selves today.

Willard Reaves was a great back. Absolutely dominated his position in the CFL & was feared as he could deliver some punishing hits as a back & was strong enough to run over tacklers. On the next play he could finesse, dangle a tackler & then explode by him. He also had the advantage of a great OL blocking for him. Loved watching guys like Reaves, Miller & others play as they were all deserving of the praise heaped on them. However, I was fortunate enough to see Dave Raimey play. He played on a very bad football team. He didn't have the luxury of a great OL opening holes for him. Matter of fact, the OL that played in front of him was the worst in the CFL from 1967 thru the 1969 season. There wasn't a great qb calling the plays as Ken Ploen had retired to be replaced by the inept rookie John Schneider. There was no genius coordinator calling the plays just the hapless Joe Zaleski. Raimey had just one teammate who could be a threat as a receiver in flanker Ken Nielsen. That was it for the Bomber offense as far as personnel went. Raimey had to virtually do it all on his own. The result was he didn't have better stats than a number of other backs on this list. Yet between 1965 & the first 2 games of the 1969 season he rushed for almost 4,000 yards & was elected into the CFL HOF in 1989. That speaks volumes for a player stuck on not just a bad team at the time but a dreadful team! He was a CFL All Canadian in 1966 as well as a Western Conference All Star in 1965, 1966, 1967 & 1968 for Winnipeg. He was the CFL leading rusher in 1966. He was a dangerous kick returner as well with 3,234 KO yards for the Bombers. I know that this may sound like a cliche but he did put the Bombers on his back multiple times & carried that team as there was literally no one else that could do it. I don't see the nominees listed yet but once they are, he & Lewis will be my 2 choices. And no, Raimey was not an obscure player nor am I trying to impress anyone here with my knowledge. I'm trying to contribute & partake of that knowledge as I saw most of these players play. I known how good some of them were against their contemporaries. I too, am frustrated that a current player in Bryant won as a tackle over some other of the greats but it is what it is, I guess.

L'Damian Washington is in the AAF (former Bomber). Corey Washington plays for the Bombers currently.
