That's from Paul Friesen.  What's the world coming to when urban dictionary of all places is being used as a legitimate source?

Any tips? Don't dress the kid in green.

Yeah the more I thought about it....*gasp* he better not turn into another Roddy P....
(The latest there, of course, is that Pedersen is taking issue with Mike Reilly taking issue with Rod's predictions of Riders 1st in West and Eskies 4th. I'm thinking he was hoping players league-wide would simply revel in his insightful, and of course unbiased, predictions)

Listening to O'shea on CJOB this morning,  it's hard not to like the guy, but liking him as a coach is a different beast.  I'm hoping for a great year, but if it's another lackluster one, i'm not opposed to moving on

Last year we had the most coaches I've ever seen on the Bombers and that didn't work.  So maybe less is more in this case.  Who knows.  There is no correlation between number of coaches and winning games.

#9 overall and Burmistrov

Here comes the unpopular opinion!
Knowing you're getting a shitty deal going in doesn't make the deal any less shitty. I can't help but sympathize with the players making league minimum or PR wages while Kenny Canadian gets paid more than his fair share to be a slow unreliable <insert any position> week in week out because he has the right passport. This is a cruel and cut-throat business, only more-so to the American players we rely on so heavily for our skill positions. If we want to see better talent coming north we need to be a desirable destination. Nothing about that deal sounds desirable.
Yes, they are getting paid to play a game blah blah blah, but if they all went and got 'real jobs' instead of making league minimum who would we have to watch come July?
And before anyone gets up in arms, I appreciate the ratio and I love seeing Canadians play... whether or not they are the best available player at their position... it's just a shame that ratio balancing dictates who plays (and gets paid), and not talent. It's something I thought about a lot watching Brock Ralph try to catch a ball.

I would love to see him used as a checkdown guy, something we haven't had since......... Fred Reid???? or maybe ever.
Anyways give him space and let him break some tackles. I am excited to see what he can bring and hopefully Lapo brings a CFL capable offence. 

What? You think Ottawa will make it?

In leu of a live stream the Bombers will put this up for their fan's viewing pleasure ...
 

Sounds like headline news, someone get Wiecek and Friesen on it.

Pretty cool to be this close. I like being up a bit higher to have a better angle on the field, and the novelty of just wandering the concourse without being packed in ass to elbow is missing somewhat... but it's far from a deal breaker. Just glad to get to see some football up close after a long off season.
There is a hawk nest on top of one of the field lights, mama hawk keeps circling us eyeballing the crowd, so there is something to watch during the slow points. Though if you ask my wife, Graig Newman is plenty to look at on his own. I'll have to take her word for it.

Agreed, I was happy with the pick at draft time and I am glad he showed up for RC but I want to see how he does in main camp and pre-season games. Initial impressions look good though.

We've quickly gone from one end of the spectrum to the other re: Richards. I'm still sitting in the middle with "I have no clue" and will wait and see how he grows. Glad he showed something in RC...

Love both teams, have season tickets for both and their schedules conveniently work well together. (Really need a double header this year, afternoon Bomber game, followed by Jets at night). 
 
But honestly if you are comparing Jets fans to Rider fans...... give your head a shake. First off go to any Rider game and see how the fans treat opposing teams fans. Go to a Jets game and see the difference. Albeit comparing game experiences from football to hockey is a bit hard but you can at least see how the fans treat each other. Secondly, Jets fans do not say that we will win it every year. Most fans are realistic about our chances. Are there good reasons to be excited about our future? Hell yes there is. If someone from TO or Vancouver or whatever wants to cheer for us as their second team, good for them, I don't really care. Thirdly you will not have Jets fans telling you that our fanbase is the sole reason, as to why, the NHL still exists. Are we passionate, yes, are we going to treat the other teams like ****, yes (just the same as when opposing teams come to play the Bombers) are we loud and in your face about our devotion to our team 24/7 365 days a year, no. We would have to go a long way to consider ourselves even close to what the Rider fans have done and how they think of themselves.
 
Anyways, diehard for both teams. I love go to Bomber games and hearing the stadium get so ******* loud you can't hear the person next to you, the feeling of a defensive stand at the end of the game or the elation of game winning field goal, And I love the feeling of holding 2-1 lead going into the third (during the stretch run to get in), where I am shaking in my seat, seeing big hits and big goals at big times. Its hard to compare the two games really, all I can say is I love both experiences and I never want them to change.

True North isn't about a corporation anymore.
 
We are True North... the people of this city.  And this city is a little small, a little out-of-the-way, so we have to be the loudest to make sure our voices are heard. 
 
Ex-Winnipeggers who couldn't take the cold and abandoned this city when it was at its lowest.... you'll never understand.  You're Albertans and British Columbians and Ontarians now... if you don't like the True North chant, it's because you aren't True North, and you never were!

The media? LOL like TSN and Sportsnet i guess? who only mentioned the Jets in passing this entire season? I don't get this really, The Jets were pretty much ignored by TSN and Sportsnet the entire season, the only time they actually got some love is when they made the playoffs. All year, both TSN and Sportsnet did everything they could to pretty much ignore the Jets, Toronto this, Ottawa that, Montreal this, Calgary that, Vancouver this, Edmonton this... Winnipeg rarely to never received any sort of love from those 2 networks at all, part of the issue i have with sportsnet is how they completely ignored the Jets all season long. Never talked about them and if they did, it was for 20 seconds. They make the playoffs, get some, not lots, but some love and it's a bad thing now? If you really want to go there, during most jets broadcasts on sportsnet, we got the D team and that D team we got, it was pretty obvious they were cheering against the JETS. 
 
ps: TRUE NORTH!!!

I doubt if anyone short of an architect or engineer would have the ability to assess drainage, structure, mechanical or egress requirements- that is pretty technical stuff. If the architect or engineer puts a stamp on a schematic or blueprint, they OWN it. And the liabilities pass to them.
If the general contractor does not follow the plans exactly or demurs, alters without putting it in writing back to the architect and/or engineer, the contractor is liable.

As with most, if not all, series this one will be decided by the goalies. Which Pavs do we see? Just continue that hot streak and we got this series!

**** off.

This isn't true, a quick google search of nhl/nhlpa substance abuse and behavioural health program and the only name that comes up is Jordan Tootoo in 2010. Even though Mike Ribeiro went into rehab after last season, but no one found out about it until recently and I wouldn't be surprised if other players have used it as well. What you said only applies to performance enhancing drugs as per the 2005 CBA.
 
 Anyways I'm done and time to move on.
 
Last night's game was hard on the nerves, I was shaking in my seat from the third period on. If we don't make the playoffs this year, I am going to be in such a foul mood until bomber season starts. Myer > Bogo. Bogo could hit and skate in a straight line. Watching Myers is something else. The way he skates and makes plays is incredible.
