JCon

Kind of like Coke but not as good. It was a poor replacement and born out of Coke's fear that they were losing to Pepsi. It was an overreaction and terrible disaster for the company, in the short term. Long term, with the reintroduction of original Coke, the brand was stronger than ever.

I listened to the Jim Henson biography. It was really good talking about the origins of the Muppets, including Sesame Street. It was interesting that Jim turned the ownership over to Children's Television Workshop to preserve the educational quality of the show. https://www.amazon.ca/Jim-Henson-Brian-Jay-Jones/dp/0345526112 It's available at the library, including in audiobook. The first half is great but it becomes long by the end.

And THE play they made three seasons ago.

Me too. Just got weak and thought maybe he had something to contribute. I was wrong and have been duly punished.

Zero.

But he's young and doesn't have many miles on him.

Said every team that ever replaced anyone for cheaper.

Ha! Steve Kroft feels like a newbie to me.

"Very different". Most of our starters are returning, including in the key positions. "We drafted pretty well" but only the players that left, right? The scrubs that remain are terrible. OL - we're not starting anyone who hasn't already been with the team. No rookies will start. WIL - loved JSK but he really started looking good with Bighill. I'll take Bighill and the WIL that he'll make look good this year. Shutdown corner was not a shutdown in 2018. Randle was no island. Are safeties suddenly hard to replace? Our penciled-in starter was might have won the job out of camp if not for an injury. Vets turnover. Who on that list is hard to replace? Who? We signed some DBs. "Only made 2 known upgrades"? Huh? Receiver, DE, DB and we extended some key players. A QB who hurt his knee badly in preseason. "that the guys who have been around the club for a while are now good enough to be starters and that this years draft will net a starter this year." The very definition of draft and develop. Now you're trashing Walters? You literally say whatever you want to fit your narrative.

That was the plan for this year. Next year, they're changing them I've heard.

That's rough for Richards. What a terrible thing to happen.

Always is, except when he was sick. He's a really good analyst.

3-2. Close. Closer than I thought it would be. Next up, the Ontario Government.

We're still projected to finish behind the Oak Park Raiders though. TBurg will tell you when he's done washing his hog or something.

We had *Insert Name Here* at the top of our board. We're extremely excited to get him.

Here's a link to the Duane Forde interview on TSN1290 yesterday morning: https://www.tsn.ca/radio/winnipeg-1290/the-big-show-may-2-2019-1.1299673 Interview starts at 1:26:10 After CBA and Solo talks, the draft talk starts at: 1:30:30 Kongbo talk: 1:33:10 Oliveira talk: 1:35:10 Eli talk: 1:37:15

Imagine saying that thirteen months ago?

What I love most about this draft, besides the players the Bombers picked, is the absolute conviction showed by Rider fans that they do not need more OL because they signed Shepley. Against all odds, they are dug in on this. Bravo! Also like that the Argos took Richards. I feel like that's a miss.

I think it was Forde on TSN1290 raving about this kid this morning? Says he got injured and that the CFL should have pushed his draft another year. Anyhow, could be a sleeper if he wants to play. When the audio is up, I'll post the link. So far, nothing on TSN1290. Not a surprise really, Toth was away and Westwood was horrible leading the discussion.

And there goes Wilkinson.

Let's pray the Raps go deep into the playoffs. Sometime around the start of the next NBA season would be perfect.

And we're going to get a stud Olineman or have the choice of either of those guys. Sounds like Argos are definitely taking Richards, per Naylor.

Wouldn't matter, this Als team is probably down by 21 anyhow!
