JCon

While we were waiting for Saturday's game to start, I was showing my son pictures from that day back in 2011. "Last game at the old stadium" it was not.

It was sunny the last time we hosted a Final. Sunny but ****ing cold. My beer was freezing as fast as I could drink it. So, I drank faster.

As a person, no better choice. How is he at talent evaluation and contract negotiations, though? Hopefully, very good.

Let the hunt for a new GM in Winnipeg begin.

As always, freedom without responsibility.

This drives me crazy. Was he the head coach or not? Do we give MOS credit for the team or say, without the offense or defense, he's not good? And, the Grey Cup championship win means he won something here that the 29 years of OCs didn't.

That sounds about right for this gov't. I wonder how the weather in Costa Rica is?

Absolutely. He knows him better than anyone. But, Lapo was also lambasted for not wanting him. Score one for Lapo.

Both can be true. I would like to see Lapo given a chance to build a team with a competent GM before I make a final judgement. Joe and Marcel don't inspire confidence.

Desjardins has done no work for years and the team shows it. He's arrogant.

Oh, I doubt it too but we SHOULD be able to sell it out with this team and time they have.

Did they announce how many season tickets they sold for 2021? With over a month to go with the best team we've seen in these parts in 20 years, I hope the stadium is full!

Sounds like Desjardins trying to blame someone else for his failure as a GM. Not a surprise, that's his MO. But, even the Argos didn't want Arbuckle.

This is really what they did this year. Some players, with no business taking a discount for their services, still took a discount. Quite the team Walters has built.

Two things of note: 1) No one had the Bombers winning the West. No one? 2) They were a lot more down on Saskatchewan than I remember. Must have been the TSN crew that we're all giddy for Faj. Sask have outperformed their projection (according to 3Down) than what has happened. Could still finish fourth but I expect them to be 2nd, at this point.

Yup, in his own words. I misinterpreted his actions completely. You were correct.

I think he was just excited and wanted to thank him. Very clear he wasn't trying to give him the ball. More like a thanks. He never tries to give him the ball. Not even close. Just puts his hand out with a thanks.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Also playing today are the 3-0, number 4 ranked team in the country, have scored 24 unanswered points to take the lead in BC. I want BO to do this to the other BC football team tonight:

Weather report: 5 at kick off, feels like 2. 2 at end of game, feels like -2. Wind steady all evening 14kms, gusting to 21kms. Probability of big game hunting? 100%.

Who? Little Kitties at the Big Bad Bombers. What? Football with a chance for the Champs to lock up a home West Final. When? Tonight, 6pm central. Where? IG Field (East), home of the CFLs loudest fans! Why? Cause October football is awesome. Keys to the game.

Watching that video of Williams, I was like, "whoa, nice catch. Nice catch but Rose just took it the other way for 6 points." And, with Fajs accuracy, that's where it will end up.

Ed's not worried.

Exactly, but don't get me involved in this. True fan meeting still at 5pm in the tailgate section tomorrow? EDIT: Oops, that was to be a DM. There is no meeting tomorrow. The above mentioned group does not exist.
