Right, and when they hit FA, they can sign anywhere. The deal is basically is the Bombers want to re-sign him before the FA window, it costs them. The Argos are just trying to make it really expensive for the Bombers during their negotiating window before FA. Same as it's going to cost if want to negotiate with Masoli, Arbuckle, etc before the FA window opens. You'll need to "pay" their club for that right. Of course, it could be written into the agreement that if Collaros signs at anytime before such-and-such a date, the Argos are owed something but probably not.

Have fun! I wish I could go again. Enjoy the popcorn!

2020.

I should add... We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and walked to Mosaic for the WSF. Could have caught the bus but made a wrong turn. No biggie, it's a pretty quick walk. The hotel was filled with football fans. They let us check in early (on the Sunday before the game started). The breakfast was pretty good (for being included with the stay). Not much going on around downtown but we ate at the Fat Badger after the game. We left early on Monday. For the LDC, we stayed at the East end of town at the Days Inn. Further out but lots of food and other things to choose from. Breakfast was good and included. We stayed two nights and enjoyed the pool, water slide and hot tub. Those are not available at the Holiday Inn Express. The place was filled with football fans.

Except he didn't. He didn't address it to anyone not wearing a poppy, he addressed it to "you people new to Canada". How would one know if someone is new to Canada? Is he polling people or just profiling people?

You're right about businesses and Remembrance Day but it's not really relevant to the discussion of Cherry. Two separate topics. I think Remembrance Day should be a school day focused entirely on the remembering those that fought for our freedoms, sacrificed their lives, and how we protect those freedoms going forward. There is lots we can teach the next generation and lots more we can learn from those that fought and those that serve today. But this topic is about the racist crap Cherry said and not about Remembrance Day (because Cherry's rant was really about Remembrance Day or Poppies either).

I am amazed at how big the back catalogue is. Some, great, great old live action movies and Disney films.

Absolutely! We a few fans jeered us but all in good fun. I have had a wonderful experience in the stands both times at Mosaic.

They have lots of places to hitch your horse and reasonable prices on feed. I didn't see no rustlers.

Well, the city is full of Rider fans, so you get what you get. We were four forty-something year old males, so we were not bothered by anyone. It was cold out, so not many people mulling about after the game, in the evening. Before the game there were lots of Rider and Bomber fans around.

Days is done? Whoa...

We were there (not far from where you're staying) last year for the WSF. Have fun. It's not too bad downtown. You can catch a bus out front of the Delta to take you to the stadium (for free - shuttle to and from) When we were in Regina for the LDC, we took an Uber. From the East end of town, it costs us $20. I would do that if I were you, since it's fast and cheap. The Fat Badger is a decent place for an after game meal and drink downtown. Be respectful and the fans treat you great. Even more important after the Bombers beat the Riders.

No, we need to be removing the bigots from the air. He should have been gone a long, long time ago.

I downloaded the Android app on my phone. I'll use Chromecast for the family room and get the D+ app for TV in the bedroom. I like the selection. Tons of Mickey cartoons, new and old. Old movies, like Bed knobs and Broomsticks. New Marvels movies, including Endgame. I'm excited to watch The Mandalorian tonight. Mupppets! Some older, cool movies like the Sandlot. The app was slow this morning to show everything but it seems to be loading now.

I got it this morning.

The Blue Bombers?

I'm not worried about what the fans think. No one here is playing the game.

There were only a few faithful that had the Bombers (and Esks) winning. High five @NorthernSkunk, @AB BomberFan and @GOLD MEMBER!

Really? Wow, I would have sworn he attempted a couple. Now, will this throw the Riders off? Assume he'll run and he'll step back and throw one downfield?

How come none of you are this hardcore? As Bombers advance, long-suffering fan hopes to end 18-year-long no pants pledge Chris Matthew says he's not getting ready to put on pants just yet, but remains hopeful https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-blue-bombers-no-pants-pledge-1.5355880 With the Winnipeg Blue Bombers advancing to the West Division final against Saskatchewan, could this be the end of Bomber fan Chris Matthew's 18-year-long pledge to not wear pants until his beloved team clinches the cup? Despite seeing the team advance in the CFL playoffs, he says he's not getting ready to switch out of his shorts just yet. The Bombers head to Regina for next Sunday's West final against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, after beating the Calgary Stampeders 35-14 in Sunday's West Division semifinal. The victor there will represent the West in the Grey Cup in Calgary on Nov. 24. Winnipeg's Janarion Grant, centre, runs the ball as Calgary Stampeders' Riley Jones closes in during the Bombers' 35-14 win on Sunday to advance to the West final. (Jeff McIntosh/Canadian Press ) In November 2001, Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan Chris Matthew made a casual bet when he thought his beloved team was sure to win the Grey Cup. Still wearing shorts in November, he said he'd switch to pants after the Bombers clinched the cup. "So ever since, I've been in shorts," he said. The only time Matthew will put pants on is if he has to go to a funeral — where the family doesn't know about the bet. "If they know about the shorts, I'll still wear shorts to a funeral," he said. 'They could beat anybody' The Bombers haven't taken home the Grey Cup since 1990 — the same year Nelson Mandela was released from prison. The World Wide Web wasn't even a thing yet. Despite his team being one step closer to the cup, he said they've let him down too many times for him to get too excited just yet. "If they play as well as they did yesterday, they could beat anybody," he said. Chris Matthew says he'll even wear shorts to a funeral if the family knows about his pledge. (Gary Solilak/CBC) "If they don't win, I'm fine. I've lived with this now for almost 20 years, I can continue, it's not that big a deal. For their sake and for the sake of every other Bomber fan, I'd like to see them win." His wife, Darla, says she's past the point of caring. "I don't care. He likes it, and I know that win or lose, he likes the shorts. And he complains, but I think he loves the attention," she said. "We have been walking down the street when it's cold out. and I have a fur coat, and he's in shorts, and people stare. And I just assure them, yes, he's an idiot." If you're looking to charter a bus to Regina for the big game, that might be tough on short notice, says Allan Mellon with All Road Tours. If you do, Mellon's advice is to get insurance, and make sure it's registered properly. "Since the Humboldt incident, people are weary of who they travel with. There are reputable companies in Winnipeg, just do your homework," he said. "My suggestion if you want to go to Regina ... jump in your car. Finding a bus would be very difficult." As for Matthew, he says he's saying put. "First of all, it's Regina, and I'd have to sit outside, in the cold, in my shorts, and I'm not gonna do that."

Can't go this year. My friends are out, unfortunately.

Thanks, @J5V, I missed this. Yes, that's what I was referring too, I was just ranting in the wrong thread.

So, if you're going to ride a Nichols/Streveler combo, that's fine but what happens when one gets hurt? Arguably, we had it good with our Nichols(Collaros)/Streveler combo because they were so different but as soon as Streveler had to run the show, it wasn't so good. in the two QB world, do you need two QBs similar enough so you don't have to change your entire approach if one gets hurt? And, I'm thinking of this over multiple games, not just an in-game adjustment.
