That's ******* disgraceful. Throwing beer at anyone is unacceptable. That's why I bring a bunch of dead batteries with me.

well someone ought to be ashamed of doing that to a 9 year old.  I think its just the rider rivalry.  people get fired up (more so vs the riders and with liquor) and can get carried away, I know I have lol.  But I've gone to games vs the ticats with my boy wearing a ticat jacket and people haven't been disrespectful,  tho I'd probably crack em in the face if they were talking **** to my kid. but thats just me

Read online about this man who took his 9 year old son to his first Bomber game. When leaving, his son who happened to be wearing a green sweatshirt,  Bomber shirt underneath, was sworn at and beer thrown at him.
Someone even pushed him and told him to "get the F out of here" and "to go back where he came from". Yet the kid is from Winnipeg.
Such disgusting behavior, shame some had to ruin what should have been a great experience. 

Idiot drunks ruining things for kids. These people should be outed somehow and be forced to be embarrassed.  The pathetic part in all this is its probably people who go on one of the bombers sites 

The Bombers came through, gave him tickets to 4 games, a bomber coin, and arranged for him to meet players at the next game. Good on them!

I work in media and watched Lawless at work....pompous arrogant MF....I miss Ed Tait

leaving a game up to chance is called "losing" in my books.  Winning means not allowing any possibility for luck or a bad call to factor into the result.  I still dont like Osh as a head coach (although he appears to be a complete stand up human being) but am so thankful we have him over a megalomaniac with no personal accountability.  Osh is the first to say its his fault, that gets my respect. 

Yup. Let's not talk about turnovers or losing challenges on stupid plays...  or ignore your QB throwing interceptions or turning the ball over on stupid 3rd down gambles .... let's talk about 1 play in a game that had over 100 
 
Can I talk about the 2 TDS the bombers dropped or ?? No cuz that's not a rider conspiracy right 

I think I'm cheering for the young guns team more than Team Canada, but I'll follow both relatively closely. As much as I think this tourney is a stupid POS cash grab, I'm pretty hockey starved at this point of the year, so I'm looking forward to watching the games..

I really hope we get a look at him this year...

It's just his thing...

Haha even Milt at his age would still get it done

I wonder if Willy got up this morning...looked in the mirror and said....' my gawd it is/was me'....Time to do a serious re-set Drew cuz your game has gone south and it actually WAS YOU.....I think we'll stick with Nichols as long as he can get it done...which is looking pretty good right about now.

Nichols seemed to make quicker and more decisive throws...too bad Dressler went down cuz our offense was really clicking then

This Madden PS4 trade logic is laughable.

Yeah we beat a Masoli led team...but a lot a team beat us last year without Willy too.  Didn't stop them from feeling good about getting a 'W'.

Scary to think what this will do to already fragile police - civilian relations

Interesting article on T-Dre.
 
T-Dre Player joins Bombers
Posted on Mon, July 4, 2016 at 3:17pm by Scott Taylor in blue bombers, Featured, FOOTBALL, SPORTS with No Comments on T-Dre Player joins Bombers Tweet Like Plus Pin It Share The Winnipeg Blue Bombers news release today called him “T-Dre” Player. However, his parents named him Tchissakid Dre Player.
Sure T-Dre is a lot easier and faster to say than Tchissakid, but the Bombers really don’t care. They just hope that the physical gifts of this 6-foot-6, 305-pound lineman with CFL experience in B.C. will help an offensive line that has been suspect for almost a decade.
Yesterday the Bombers announced that Player and National linebacker Herve Tonye-Tonye had been added to the practice roster while National fullback/defensive lineman James Tuck was added to the team’s active roster.
For Player, it’s a chance to come back home. At least, “home” by way of Dallas, Texas, and Natchitoches, Louisiana.
Winnipeg roots
Born in Winnipeg, his mom Corinne Fontaine, is from Sagkeeng First Nation, and in 2014, T-Dre became the first athlete from Sagkeeng to reach the Canadian Football League. Last season, he started 11 games for the Lions. In two seasons, after being drafted out of Northwestern State (Louisiana), 12th overall by the BC Lions in the 2014 CFL Draft, he has played in 18 CFL games. He joined Winnipeg’s practice roster on Sunday and went to practice in blue and gold for the first time on Monday.
He’s also come a long way since his father, Paul Player, one of the finest basketball players ever to play at the University of Winnipeg, moved the family to suburban Dallas in the hopes of finding better athletic opportunities for his son. These days Paul works for Child Protective Services while Corinne is involved with the Army and Air Force exchange service. They often travel to Manitoba to visit family members so T-Dre is almost home.
Basketball first
T-Dre’s first love was basketball and in a story reminiscent of Brandon’s Izzy Odinije, he played hoops until he was talked into playing high school football in Grade 12. After only one year of high school varsity football – just like Izzy – he was offered a scholarship to Northwestern State in Natchitoches, Louisiana, where he became an all-star O-linemen in the Southland Conference.
“I was born in Winnipeg and moved to the Dallas area when I was about nine,” Player told me not long ago. “It was pretty crazy with all the cultural differences I faced. I had big identity issues when I was young.
“There are not very many native people living down here. It was very difficult in high school because everybody was white, black or Mexican and I was none of the above.”
T-Dre did have four things going for him: he’s whip smart, he’s a great athlete, he’s a big, strong guy and he comes from a great family. His athletic genes have obviously come in handy. At 6-foot-6, 305 pounds, Player combines speed with his size and at 24, is already an imposing CFL lineman.
He also has a unique name, Tchissakid, one that comes from the Ojibwe language, meaning “Sooth sayer,” or “Magic man.”
“When I was still in my mother’s womb, my parents were looking at a sonogram and they said it looked as though I had waved or ‘chopped’ my hand on the screen,” T-Dre explained. “My dad did some research and came up with that name from that experience, because the indigenous sooth sayers or shamans use their hands as a way to emit energy. Say, if someone wanted their fortune told, a soothsayer would use special stones and shake them up in their hands before throwing them onto the table and interpreting the layout. It is unique.”
Academics is the goal
Almost all of Player’s university courses were directed at pre-law and he’s still thinking seriously about eventually getting a law degree. While he’s committed to playing pro football – right now – he says he wouldn’t mind getting his PhD.
An extremely intelligent football player who has progressed quite rapidly as a pro, the only question after he was selected in the CFL Canadian draft, was whether or not he could make the adjustment from a U.S. mid-major to pro football. It has, obviously, not been a problem. And if things work out in Winnipeg, he’ll have a chance to block for a former Lions teammate and another Winnipeg football star, Oak Park high school graduate Andrew Harris.
“Football has been a big part of the journey for me,” Player said during our interview. “But academics was always the goal. Thanks to football, I had a wonderful opportunity to get a very good university education. It’s always been important to me to make the best of my opportunities.”
He certainly has a great opportunity now.
