    I applied for a job with Travel Manitoba one time, and was legitimately concerned with how much time I would spend at that place on a weekly basis.....this new patio area would kill my liver and get me fired.

    Maybe you could convince them to get some 2.5% radlers on tap to moderate the alcohol intake a little...

    I'm a big fan of the area inside the Forks...I think it's called "The Common" or something? They've got a bunch of great beers on tap, and then you can order whatever food you want from the various restaurants that are set up around there (kinda like a food court with great beer available...)  We almost always hit that up when we're home...

    Good news! They've expanded it outside! There are 250 patio seats and a place to procure drinks in the area between the market, the canopy, and the river.

    Oh geeze you guys, this is hitting way too close to home. A bolt of lightning might strike me for saying this, but the best farmer sausage you can get in Winnipeg is the stuff Miller's Meats makes in-house. Even better than Pioneer *crouches in fear*. Goes on sale all the time too!

    Here's a Mennonite dad joke from my Winklerite father-in-law:

    What do you call two Winkler ambulance drivers who are fighting?

    Europeans who made the cut:

    Active Roster:

    Max Zimmermann (Germany) – Saskatchewan Roughriders

    Thiadric Hansen (Germany) – Winnipeg Blue Bombers

    Kimi Linnainmaa (Finland) – Toronto Argonauts

    Maxime Rouyer (France) – Edmonton Eskimos

    Practice Roster - Valentin Gnahoua (France) – Hamilton Tiger-Cats

    Interesting. Hamilton picked before us, and their guy went to the PR, while Kimi in TO wasn't even drafted in the first round. I'm assuming the other teams are rostering Mexicans? Did any of the other global players show anywhere close to as well as Thiadric did in the pre-season games? (or show anything at all?)

    In the coach's show MOS said Eli was not in football shape and needed to work for quite a bit. He had NFL buzz before so I think everyone likes his potential. I know I was excited especially after losing 2 good young guys. Eli previously quit football so there is some question marks about will he be willing to stick it out on PR and all that but who knows the inner motivations?

    Not in football shape because he's still recovering from an injury, right. 😉

    Agree. Id say have them as a none counter on the PR and eventually a none counter on the active roster. Forcing teams to carry one then 2 just seems silly. Make it like an extra DI spot even. I dont get this global crap they are forcing down our throats. 

    It's being forced down your throat? They created extra roster spots, so no one is being displaced, and you won't see these guys on the field except for maybe the odd special teams play.

    Good news for Transcona and the Kildonans. Urgent care centres are great, as they still do a lot of the things that ERs do (wife got stitches in her hand at the Vic last summer, and was in and out in under an hour). Overall, I think that the reorganization makes a lot of sense (would you rather have three really good and properly resourced ERs, or six that are stretched too thin?). Like any major change, there will obviously be some bugs that need to get worked out. 

    I also think that they need to do a much better job of educating the public on what kind of ailments should go to the ER vs quick care clinics vs walk-ins and family doctors. It would probably be a good idea to have someone open a walk in clinic beside each ER, and have the triage nurse direct people to go there if they do not have an emergency...

    (Should we have a separate Manitoba politics thread?)

    He was one of the top ranked centers in the NCAA..and a 3 year starter with phenomenal game tape..and a sure draft pick in the NFL..prob well before the 5th round too.

    My only concern was if he needed to get back his 300 + pound football weight..and not be 300 pound not football weight..but what I hear..he is in football form..the injury being 2 yrs into healing and rehab will be a non issue..he was the draft coup 

    When did the injury actually occur? Tried using my Google machine to find out, but the first reports of him missing the 2018 season are from last August...

    I'm not sure how many players make under $65k, but let's say it's 25 per team. Not factoring in guys already making $65-$75k who might want to get a bump to stay above the minimum, you'd be looking at a max salary increase (next year) of $250k to those guys if they were all at the minimum. The salary cap goes up by $100k in that time as well, so you're looking at shifting about $150k from veteran starters to rookies and backups. 

    I think a GM like Walters who is good at finding guys will do just fine.

    **** Kamau Incompleterson. Guys shitty hands started the downfall of Khari Jones here. I can never forgive him for that. Drops everything on Khari, makes some catches for Glenn... *******.

    Wasn't he also the downfall of Tee Martin? Or was that Brazzel or Bowman?

    People are quick to mention Pencer and Ettienne and examples of Mack's draft busts, but I think Kris Robertson deserves some recognition as well. I'm pretty sure Mack drafted him 11th overall in 2013 based entirely on his 40 time. Don't think he even made it through a single training camp.

    I wasn’t aware Corney retired due to injury concerns. I must have missed that discussion on here because I was surprised the Bombers didn’t try to re-sign him.  Now I know.

    Not sure what his injuries were, but if you follow him on Instagram, you'd guess that he's training for Mr. Olympia or something (needs to work on his calves though).
