I like LaFrance signing with Winnipeg despite already signing with the Riders....

After they won the Grey Cup, this accurately describes my off-season, to date.

I agree with this 100%. Best thing for Streveler would be to get as far away from Lapo as possible. LOL. I have a feeling we are going to have a much more prolific offense this season. Also, Streveler isn't going anywhere. I'd be totally shocked to see him playing anywhere but Winnipeg.

#Gophers #Vikings legend Bud Grant: “A good coach needs a patient wife, a loyal dog and a great quarterback. Not necessarily in that order.” ow.ly/vNYJ50xAiXg And I will add - (and a Streveler)

Spoiler-free hot take: for me, it wasn't as good as Rogue One, but it was easily the best of the modern Skywalker trilogy. It knows who its audience is, and it serves them well.

I thought it was pretty good, much better than I expected. It didn't feel like a 2.5 hour movie, the pacing was so relentless that it flew by. It was a nice mix of the familiar and the novel, well-acted, great action scenes, and it didn't feel emotionally hollow. I thought it was definitely the best of the modern trilogy, it wasn't a hot mess like TLJ or unwarmed leftovers like TFA. The kiss was an ... interesting choice. The way I see it in my head, these are both confused kids who've both just almost died, they have a weird lingering mind-link, and they share experiences of weird powers that no one else can relate to, and that healing thing was pretty damn intimate as well with weird force soul energy going back and fourth between them. It read to me more as more an animal response to trauma thing than a romantic thing. But I can totally see why folks would be squicked by it. For everything I wrote in the other thread about how I didn't want yet another goddamn planet killer, I actually liked that this movie offered 10,000 planet killers. Escalation is good. The only overt TLJ ****-you I noticed was the presence of Anakin / Luke's lightsaber, unless I'm missing something about that. That lightsaber has been lost and destroyed so many times and it keeps turning up ... you know that it is digging its way out of its Tatooine grave... Loved Hux's reveal as the spy. It's always good when a big twist is both surprising and 100% true to the character. Of course Hux is going to try to set up Kylo Ren. Of course he will **** it up. Hux is 100% fuckup. Really liked how C3PO was forbidden to translate the Sith runes because of his programming. That's totally how software works, something that starts off as a good and sensible hamstrings you later on in a way you'd never anticipate. Headscratching moments: - who made the sith dagger? - why did they need a ground team to take out the tower when the tower is just sitting there exposed and Rogue One showed that snubfighters are really super good at blowing up targets that are just sitting there exposed? - Same thing with the command ship, it's just another big unshielded hunk of metal with the critical tower sticking out of it, should've been easy meat for Poe, who is shown shaving star destroyers of their weapons in every movie he's in. - It's okay to melt C3PO's brain to save the galaxy but it's also necessary to press the pause button on the mission to save the galaxy to go rescue Chewie? Damn, droids' lives suck. But then, when you add it up, the galaxy is saved basically because Rey is nice to a couple of droids, so at least the movie is kinda aware of how ****** up the property status of droids is and rewards folks who are kind to them. I ******* hate how droids call their owners "master." WEDGE CAMEO! I caught it, he's a gunner on the Falcon. Also saw Ghost or a ship of the same class whizzing by during a dogfight. Palps vs. Rey is a real nice callback to Palps vs. Luke in Jedi. Only Palps has a way better offer for Rey than he did for Luke. Luke gets "kill your father and then we'll see how things go" whereas Rey gets "your friends are dying and I can put you in charge of the fleet that's killing them." And I liked how Palp's plan had a couple ways it could have gone well, either he gets to be PalpRey or he gets to be full-on Just Palp once he force-vampires Rey and Ben. Either way, he wins, which is how real supervillains plan their strategies. And I like how the Final Order fleet was like "oh ****, we have a single point of failure that the Rebels are targeting again" and they have a backup ready and standing by. Can't have credible heroes without a credible heel.

I believe that as u would also have excluded Nichols totally too eh? Hahahaah...

Not always a given. Once I think she complimented my butt when she looked at me and said,"What an ass", but I'm still not sure.

Actually it's " your 2019 and 11 time Grey Cup Champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers" As opposed to the 4 time Grey Cup Champion Riders...who were lucky video review wasnt around or it would have been 3 time even with Dinwiddie starting...friggen losers!! Lol

Gotta remember, a lot of us saw star wars as kids, and we all know how kids obsess over things.

Strev will be in winnipeg if in the cfl...

I'm always impressed here with the folks who can dissect football games at a level beyond "oh that touchdown was a good play!" which is where I'm at. It's the exact same thing, just a different subject. Hope you enjoy the new film, Speedflex!

Did you get that line from Greg Marshal

Bombers have already signed 8 new receivers; Malcolm Lewis Tyre Mccants Isaiah Harper Travin Dural Ardarius Stewart Devin Lucien Kayaune Ross Travis Rudolph

Nope but when a guy on your 4th line is doing jack squat its time for a change and Harkins looked pretty good....

The thing with Streveler is, if he signs with Ottawa then LaPo may keep him a gimmick qb doing what he's been doing the past 2 seasons. Perhaps Buck Pierce teaches him how to be a CFL qb. I have a feeling LaPo will do what's best for LaPo & he'll keep doing the same thing.

aka: you gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find the prince.

So do I but he has to learn the passing game. That should be his priority. He has to learn to rely less on his legs & more on his arm. He'll be much more dangerous if defenses have to respect the fact he is a passer. He'll never be Dieter Brock or Ricky Ray but he can be very effective. As a pro qb this is his next logical step.

Saw it today and will see it again. I had no intention of seeing TLJ twice, even on Netflix/Prime. Only problem was I had a crappy sleep last night and actually missed part of it.

Tore his ACL in March.

Yes it’s a big market for them. Sort of their unofficial home.

It would be sweet if it came against the les Habs.

Did You Know... The Bombers took a big-time swing at upgrading their receiving corps in free agency and were among the highest bidders for the likes of Derrell Walker, Greg Ellingson and DeVier Posey before that trio instead settled on new homes in Toronto, Edmonton and Montreal, respectively. 👁‍🗨 (And have since regretted it)This year the Bombers don’t play more than two consecutive games against either division. The Bombers face the Stampeders and Eskimos three times, and will play every other team twice.

Ladd is done... at this point he should be playing 4th line at a minimum contract.

I'm definitely hoping he kills it.

Well he is on a good streak. 16g without a point.

And we are signing Walker and Daniels. That list makes me want to drink Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniels

Yes. Still a sell out. In fact it basically sold out in 15 minutes with no matches announced. Sell outs are rare. Wwe sold out survivor series in Chicago but none of their other events in Chicago that week. It’s an accomplishment.

Looks like Marshall Ferguson has been hanging out with Simoni Lawrence...

Tait*er*Gems: Winnipeg had 31 pending free agents as ’18 came to a close. This year we had 25, 4 of which have been extended. Last year, they attacked that free agent group significantly: re-signing Adam Bighill, Nic Demski, Stanley Bryant, Jermarcus Hardrick, Brandon Alexander, Jesse Briggs, Michael Couture, Shayne Gauthier, Jeff Hecht, Jackson Jeffcoat, Justin Medlock, Thomas Miles, Chad Rempel, John Rush, Jake Thomas and Kyrie Wilson, and then Drake Nevis a few weeks into the proceedings. This year, so far...Hardrick, Wolitarsky, Maston and Neufeld have been extended Then we were hit by losing 3 Canadian starters...Loffler and Chungh to FA and Goosen to retirement. Also...Released : Chris Randle, Moe Leggett, Kevin Fogg, Jovan Santos-Knox, Tristan Okpalaugo and Ian Wild and the retirement of Weston Dressler https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/12/21/year-review-reloading-2018/ That is quite the list the Bomber lost and overcame. Can we do it again? I think so!

I prefer the option of him coming back to Winnipeg

Is this a prediction for the year of the next riders grey cup?... seems accurate

Yes. Can't undo VIII but they try or just ignore it altogether. Go knowing that it's not perfect but it's perfectly good.

Pretty good vid on Harris and pretty much shows he was the engine that this offence ran through...and some pretty amazing runs and plays from one season alone..what caught my eye more though was the down field blocking of the o-line on a lot of it, and how dominant they were, and the work the receivers did in that offence when not pass catching..total team buy in and working for each other

Overall it was good. Not great. A few stretches of very good. I was completely surprised by Rey being a Palpatine. I feel so dense that I didn't see it coming. But, it was totally the right move. Mirrored Luke with Vader. I feel very happy with this outcome to her heritage. Palps was meh. The whole idea of a secret fleet was done in some of the books and is a good one but they never address how they would populate the millions of soldiers and crew it would take to actually staff it. Also, the ship yards.

Unfortunately, you're right. I watch it in bits & pieces now. I'll tune in the last 10 minutes to see what's going on.

I can’t remember the last time I watched wwe all the way through. It’s awful.

The guy's last name is Outhouse..... that's gold.

GBill or AKAChip are my bets...

Rigmaiden staying is Merry Christmas to us!

oh my stars.........best news we've had all week (with Win-widdie to TO as a close second...)

Means nothing..he's sporting his bomber gear on instagram...and he is saying he is in the offseason..if he was hanging em up it wouldn't be off season And I doubt we wouldn't re-sign him..

Overthinking season has begun!!!
