Don't mean to pry, but how did you get back home?

So here's the thing......I don't have light-hearted, "fun" rivalries with other teams fans. I legitimately despise Riders "fans". There will be a couple of Gappers there who think it's funny that we're doing a Royal Blue/Gold wedding with a ton of Manitoba focus to everything....but the second they try to talk to me about football, I'm out. I'm just not having it and that's just how I'm wired. I truly believe 99% of Riders "fans" are assholes who know NOTHING about football, and I'm not going to have some "fun rivalry" thing with them.....I just can't do it.

Brad Fotty!!!

Bob Irving (@BobIrvingCJOB) Tweeted: I think the CFL should fine players for dangerous, cheap hits. But Wpg’s Jermarkus Hardrick got fined for giving a guy an extra, aggressive shove in the Ottawa game. Hardly a fineable offence in my eyes. The 15-yard penalty Hardrick got was punishment enough.

Ordered one......now to convince the fiancee that we need to hang it at our wedding reception August Long......

So I’m traveling through Saskatchewan doing some mini donut events this summer, and I turn on the radio and within 30 seconds—I kid you not—I hear and I quote “ye and years later my mother told me that the woman I was in a relationship with was my cousin” on 94.1 fm @Ripper Saskatoon I guess the stereotype is true

I thought it was cool that the Grand Forks Newspaper is trying to get the people from Grand Forks to drive up to Winnipeg to watch Blue Bomber football and adopt them as their team!

Allegedly ...

That voice you hear yelling “Why don’t you take a knee!” is actually my brother aka @Tony Fresco here on the board. We are in different seats now, but that year we were real close to a camera.

It would be really sweet if he could hit Demski over the middle for like an 82 yard touchdown. And I mean would it be too much for him to hit Matthews and Lucky deep? Come on, we brought these guys in to stretch the defense, do it already!

Darrin Bauming, TSN. @DarrinBauming · 1m Practice laughs... Matt Nichols takes off up the middle on a keeper, slides early and slowly, to a rousing round of applause and cheers from his #Bombers teammates.

👁‍🗨S p r e a d I n g the ball around. This is how I like an offence. Use all your receivers along with the strong running game. So far, veteran wide receiver Darvin Adams has been targeted 13 times and has eight catches. Meanwhile, newcomer Lucky Whitehead has been targeted 13 times for nine, Nic Demski 14 for nine, Drew Wolitarsky 12 for 9 and the combination of Chris Matthews, Kenny Lawler and Charles Nelson 11 for eight. The team leader in both categories is actually running back Andrew Harris, who has been targeted 15 times for 13 catches. - Ted Wyman

I'm buying a St.Vital flag and my aunt is getting an Osborne Village flag. This Image should be on the St.Vital flag though.

those are amazing...

These are really cool

Young and his mother settled into the working-class area of Fort Rouge, Winnipeg, where the shy, dry-humoured youth enrolled at Earl Grey Junior High School. It was there that he formed his first band, the Jades, and met Ken Koblun. While attending Kelvin High School in Winnipeg, he played in several instrumental rock bands, eventually dropping out of school in favour of a musical career.[31] Young's first stable band was the Squires, with Ken Koblun, Jeff Wuckert and Bill Edmondson on drums, who had a local hit called "The Sultan". The band played in Fort William (now part of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario), where they recorded a series of demos produced by a local producer, Ray Dee, who Young called "the original Briggs".[32] While playing at The Flamingo, Young met Stephen Stills, whose band the Company were playing the same venue, and they became friends.[33] The Squires played in several dance halls and clubs in Winnipeg and Ontario.[34]

Please not Nelson. Lawler or Bailey are more deserving after the poor showing by Nelson last game.

A fine? Yet Nick Usher is head shotting defenceless players every game and no suspension. Shoving = Head shots

preach, brother Bob....

fair enough, real fight photos it is...

OMG, I laughed so hard someone in another office came to check on me.

Awesome idea with the flags! I just picked up 3 Interlake ones for me and my buddies in Alberta! Pretty sweet to see Stonewall on a flag like this!

The morning big blue alltime music thread

After years of frustration at being thought of only as a dancer, Gabe is revealed as the culprit.

Pretty sure it was a beer can, I was there! This is as close as most of us will ever get to a grassy knoll moment.

**** that will never not be funny.... #SickOstrich

And apparently an actual deal for ST holders

Plus, unless it was done off camera, Darvin Adams didn't pull a Duron Carter but acted like a pro after his spectacular TD was called back. Those are the little things i look for.

Where is this fool writer getting those numbers from anyway? Last I checked it was Nichols at 80℅ completion and Streveler at 75℅. I mean doesn't matter which QB you like, the game's stats log says it plain and clear.

It's the Super 8 on Portage, right at the Perimeter. I saw it mentioned and pictured in many of articles I read.

Cue the Poop going back to the Toilet Bowl.

I bet Willie was referring to the smoke in the air in Wpg. from the forest fires and doesn't have a clue either.

Nichols is undefeated and is tied for the lead in the league in TD passes in one less game than the guy he is tied with. I would say his season is doing fine so far.

Everyone chooses different paths at certain nano-seconds of time in life. You chose the negative path this time and that is ok. I chose to see the positive path in the story and that is ok too. Today I will call you Nancy Noeller.

I heard it the same way. Further to that, I'm not sure, but I kinda doubt that most American players would even know that "Big Smoke" is a nick name for TO.

Al Simmons. Fred Penner. Ron Paley. Let's get them all in there.

I'm singling out this post, but really, everyone who responded to my OP on this topic....................none of your answers make any sense. Why the **** would Osh care about the Glenn thing? He was on the other team. He doesn't give a **** that the Bombers ended up losing the 07 GC. Andrew Harris?? I promise you he doesn't care about that. This team has repeatedly said that current rosters/regimes are not responsible for past failings and having nothing to do with them. TLDR: Anything that happened in 2007 has absolutely zero meaning to anyone on this team...........except maybe Brad Fotty. That was a good answer.

Nevis and Richardson are the starting point. They are just a pair of tanks in there, with constant inside push on the pass rush, and immovable objects in the run game. Put Bighill right behind them, and you have a triangle of death against the run.

Good teams don't care who they play they just focus on the task at hand.

People need to take their satire....more seriously...

The obvious choice is Fred Penner 😁

Hence why I said “situational awareness”. I imagine he knew what the play call was and was aware as to where they were on the field. I’m curious, if that was the game winning touchdown and we would have lost with it being called back, would you still find the thought that he should’ve been aware of the situation so incredulous? I’m guessing we’d all be a little less forgiving. To be very clear, I’m happy we have o-linemen who like to play on the edge; that was just the wrong time to do it and luckily it didn’t cost us. I feel like this is a very reasonable opinion. Not everyone on this site is fishing for an argument.

How 'bout that smoke, Man?!

The season ends with a home-and-away series with the Stampeders followed by a Week 21 bye. If Winnipeg gets first place, the final game of the regular season will be October 25 and the West Final will be their next game, 23 days later on November 17... potentially also against the Stampeders.

I try not to remember the Tim Burke era...dark dark times

When we win the cup I'm expecting a post like: "Nice win, but that Cup is sure looking old, not sure it was worth the effort."

How could anyone hate John Candy? It was impossible.
