I'm trying to get to all the CFL stadiums in the next few years (and now I have to go back to Regina, which pisses me off because, well, it's Regina), and so I managed to get to this game.  I chose them as my "2nd favourite team" since they haven't been in the league for long enough that they haven't spoiled anything for the Bombers - I used to live in Ottawa, so that helped.
TD Place is a nice stadium, for a retrofit. I was up in the nosebleed section and paid more than I think a person should.  The crowd was good - they were into it when they should've been.  I'd say IGF on a quiet night is still way louder than TD Place was, even if we had the same number of people. 
The fans were cool, but most of the people around me hate Matt Dunigan, though I don't know why.  He gave my dad and I a thumbs up when he saw us rocking out Bomber stuff. 
You know how we have the announcer say, "That's another Winnipeg..." and we all yell, "First Down!" - their dude does this thing where he says, "1st Down..." and then there's an echo-y sound effect as he says, "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrredblacks!"  It was a little annoying, but I say the same thing about the way the Bombers do it. They also do all the game calls in english and french. That amused me.  OH! But they don't say the names of the Alouettes who made a catch, just who made the tackle.
Tom Green was there. I thought he was dead. His career is, certainly.  Also, I will never again complain about the games they play at IGF with fans. The on-field hosts and games were painful. Painful.
RedBlacks offense didn't seem to want to win the game. The defense showed up to play. Good to see.
The officiating was brutal. Usually I'll give the officials the benefit of the doubt and stuff, but holy hannah, that was a tough one for the boys in stripes.
The bugs were insane way up there, too. The lights were right above us, and I felt like I was slathered in... whatever random bugs eat.
They have just one giant scoreboard. It's big. It doesn't show a lot of replays, but also has no ads on it. I'm not sure which I prefer.
I was glad to have been. It was nice that the RedBlacks won, too.
ETA: I totally forgot!!  They allow flags and flagpoles and whatnot!  Not a single person got murdered, either. I miss flags on golf ball retrievers...

Nope. Not going to go there. 
I dont believe the refs can see everything, especially on a bang bang change of possession play, where everybody is flipping ends. I only saw it on replay, and even then, I had to go back and confirm what I thought I saw. 
What im grateful for is, the Officials got it right on game review. This is exactly the kind of thing that when missed during games, should be flagged..and it was.

Because he has all the other letters a person can have with a football team, I gave him more.

But did any of you have one of those? Cuz I did. Even had disk drives and the expansion module. It was a hand me down from my brother when he bought his Heathkit PC clone.

I said to a friend who is a huge Falcons fan: If they're playing anyone else in the league aside from Brady and Belichek, the Falcons win that game. I don't know what dark ritual Belichek performs every year, but the Old Gods love that man with a slavering sort of obedience Faust would envy.
I'm not a huge NFL fan (love me the Packers, but after that, I'm pretty meh), but this was the best superbowl I've ever seen. I don't like their OT format, but it is what it is.  Seeing Brady win his 5th ring is something I'm glad to have witnessed.

Translation: only employee

Because he's still a better writer than any of the newspaper folks with more insight into the game and what fans actually want to read about? Being negative about the team doesn't make someone more objective, it just makes them negative and right now there are several reporters in winnipeg who only care to talk an endless stream of **** about things. bitter old men upset that their medium is dying and they are irrelevant in the internet age. 

This is a conflict? I'm puzzled... Sort of like saying, "I have a tough call to make, here.  I could eat this delicious pizza with my favourite toppings, OR, frozen green beans, still frozen."
No conflict there.

His mind, spirit and body were crushed playing behind the bombers oline that was truly offensive when he was a starter.
I feel for him because the Bombers were negligent in their treatment of him. They set him up for failure and likely ruined his career. They should have had a mobile qb behind that oline not a pocket passer.
 

In all fairness Willy while here did take some brutal hits. Those 79 sacks in one year regardless who's fault they were plus probably as many other hits might have finished breaking the man. Though I am really happy we were able to get rid of a huge salary and get first picks and Heath, I have to admire the man for never having blamed any of his team mates for his problems..  MOS gave him five games to try and work it out but it did not happen. The Best to him in Toronto.

Because it's nice to see someone who you respect be successful (except against us of course)? From what I observed, Willy seemed to always conduct himself as a professional when he was replaced. Seems like a nice guy, hope it works out for him plus probably good for the league. Nothing wrong with that.

same with her grinning idiot husband.

What do you mean? Naomi Klein has told me repeatedly that Venezuela is a paradise?

Yes...lets get rid of a coach who is in the middle of a 7 game winning streak because you are bored.

I honestly don't understand how you couldn't see anything from O'Shea. He's not so quietly become one of the best head coaches in the CFL and that's no stretch.
He has his moments, but what coach doesn't? He's worlds different as a coach than he was two or three years ago. His players love playing for him. His team is among the most disciplined in the CFL. He uses challenges more effectively than almost any coach in the CFL. His understanding of how to play in specific situations has improved leaps and bounds. His roster management, which was my biggest knock on him in years past, has undergone a complete 180.
Dickenson is probably coach of the year but there's 0 chance O'Shea isn't a finalist.

#ThrowbackSunday to when Jones admonished Dickenson to "win with class," as though Jones wasn't basically like school on Saturday...
I suppose, to be fair, he didn't tell anyone to lose with class, so he's... not a hypocrite?

One of my most level-headed best friends is a Riderfan (we all have flaws we overlook in our friends) and he said, "If Jones dumps Durant, even to not extend him, I'm going to drive to Regina and poop on his lawn myself."

I doubt he'd be the only one.  And there's a whole fanbase who has easy access to manure and manurespreaders.
