Bob McKenzie officially retires.
I wish Bob all the best. All these great sports broadcasters & writers are leaving us (retiring or dying) with really no one coming up behind. It's sad.

I guess Ehlers is taking his time or is it what he is asking is not lining up with his production (including injury time) for some teams? I would think we’ll know by today.
We really should... PAY THE MAN!!! We'll never find his goal scoring anywhere now.

Bombers don’t seem to put as much emphasis on the d line like some fans perhaps hope for but the D is prob ranked 1 or 2 in most categories minus sacks but sacks seems to be down league wide, QBs are getting rid of the ball quicker. So is the D and who they dress or don’t dress really a problem or just a few folks would prefer more emphasis on sacks I suppose. Cuz our D is pretty good regardless of who plays.
the O tho. Yeah. Without Brady our O is 1 dimensional and crappy. Him being back should help tremendously
Defensively, you still have to pressure the qb to make bad decisions & throws. You don't just give up & say, he's too fast for us getting the ball off so why bother? Really, who is truly fast? Harris, Adams, Kelly, Zach, Rourke, Brown (when he plays), Davis Alexander can zing it. Of those, I'd think there's only 3 guys you can truly say have quick releases. But they still get hurried, hit & sacked.

He just pulled off arguably the best play of his CFL career with a huge run. He didnt really do all that much after or before that.
Kelly got lucky. Maybe we would have won if Liegghio had made that field goal but it was blocked. As they say in baseball, the ball was low & a little outside. It was going wide before it was blocked. Our kicker looked absolutely spooked as he lined up to kick.

Lol. I get it but all 3 losses pissed me off.

This.... And there's no technically. We are the West Division Champs 5 years running. Winning the east is a joke... Winning the West... That's a challenge.
And as for 22.... We broke MBT and that ended up costing us the game. If MBT stays in, we win that game.
That makes no sense. We "broke" MBT therefore we lost as the backup Chad Kelly who never played suddenly figured our defense out in two series? If only we hadn't chased MBT out then (sigh) we'd have won.... We'd have won. If that is indeed true, that's an embarassment.

23 and 24 I’m a little more ok with. 22 will always be the one that pisses me off. There was no excuse for losing that game and it all turned after that stupid, stupid call to have Prukop chuck it down the field. Buck has any sense in his head at that point and we would have a 3peat, won in Regina of all places. I’ll never get over that one.
Why would Osh put Zach back in with a nearly severed finger tip sewed up & most of his throwing hand frozen in last year's Grey Cup? The decision was a disaster. Why would he play four players who were too injured to play in 2023 & had no business being on the field in the Grey Cup? Because Osh coaches with some kind of warped coaching code that he uses. Instead of playing Wilson or Dolegala, he throws Zach back in who tells the team in the huddle he's in trouble as he can't throw the ball. Then a year earlier, he plays injured guys like Bighill, Alexander, Schoen & Demski in the GC instead of his backupsd at least compete. We lose.... And Noeller wonders why poster here ask questions??? I don't blindly go this is The Trinity therefore they can't be questioned.

Brady and Vanterpool back in the starting line up. Jake also somehow listed as starting DT even though he didn't practice due to illness...
He gets to go out on his own terms. At 69, being pushed in a wheelchair.

Not sure by what basis someone would pick the stamps in this game. Of coarse anything can happen and the could might very well be close. You're going to do well over the last 6 years picking Winnipeg each week and this year they are already 3 and 0. VA hasn't thrown a TD pass yet this season.
They also lost Beggelton for the season.

There are much busier and more dangerous intersections - should we block those off to pedestrians? People can get hit on any street if they and/or the drivers aren't being careful, Portage and Main is no exception and shouldn't be treated like one.
I'm old enough to remember P & M when it allowed pedestrians before being closed in 1979. It should be noted that most Winnipeggers didn't want the intersection closed back then but city planners knew best & closed it anyway. I felt the same way.

Why do we even bother? Chevy should just go to his cabin & turn off his phone on July 1st.

Buck needs to concentrate on being a HC, first kick at the cat being the OC too is way to much on his plate
These head coaches just don't want to give up playcalling & will go down with their teams being completely overworked & overwhelmed. We see it all the time. They have no faith that anyone else can call the plays. Well, then stay an OC or DC otherwise delegate. That's what successful head coaches do. They ned to delegate & then let their assistants coach. Some like Hufnagel, Dinwiddie, Jones & Dickenson had success as HC's calling plays. Most fail epically.

We are too banged up right now. To many guys playing hurt and depth is ravaged. We didn’t use Cooley as much as I’d a liked and he showed really well. But if Brady is good to go, we need roster depth else where.
Just don't rush Brady back. Make sure he's 100% healthy.

How long till someone gets hit by a vehicle trying to cross Portage & Main? Being killed? That intersection when it's winter & minus 25 with a wind will be brutal to cross as a pedestrian. Those skyscrapers just make it a wind tunnel.
5 hours ago, FrostyWinnipeg said:Good article by Scott Billeck. I think its fair to say up to 33% dont want any help, they dont want to be moved and its people like that the city will have the biggest trouble dealing with.
Th only way it'll be broken up is if the police go in there & use necessary force they'll need to remove them. Trouble is, the campers will just move somewhere else.

I think Quebec gets the next Flames/Thrashers franchise to fail in Atlanta.
Well, I think just off hand that if Atlanta fails then there's Houston, Portland, Or, Kansas City, Oklahoma City & maybe Milwaukee or Cleveland in line before Quebec gets the Nordiques back. Bettman for some reaason just doesn't want Quebec despite their new 18,000 seat hockey arena which ain't so new anymore at 10 years of age. Just goes to show how lucky we were to get the Jets back when we did with a small arena. Bettman didn't stand in the way for us to get the Jets back despite all the negative crap he had to put up with from Winnipeg fans when the team went to Phoenix in 1996.

Agree with a lot of your assessment of the BC roster.
To be fair Rigmaiden was only mad GM in Nov 2024 so a lot of the brutal contracts are millstones he inherited. Obviously I’m not a Lions fan but just for the health and competitiveness of that franchise, I think we see Rigmaiden make his mark over the next offseason and beyond.
BC fans are fickle. They're either all in or all out. Attendance could go to 35-40,000 or fall to 15,000 dpending on the team's performance. And they have an owner spending a lot of money to try to get fans to the games. Ringmaiden was also an Asst GM so he was in on those bad contracts.

For sure, but then you have guys complaining more about short weeks between games.
There is no perfect schedule with 9 teams.
Unfortunately, there are no Canadian cities clamouring for a team. I was hoping Canadian patriotism & pride in our unique brand of football would get people back into the other 8 teams football stadium across the league but there's no Elbows Up crowds coming to the games. They'd rather travel to Seattle, Buffalo or Detroit to watch the NFL.

Ouelette won the game for them, Maier rode on his back.
Yep, pretty good assessment. Amazing just how good Ouelette became once Ka'Deem Carey showed up. I will say that Ouelette wouldn't have got the yards he did against the Als or Bombers.

Perfect example of a game manager. His gold standard is not to turn over the ball and hope the D and ST’s excel.
Maier was able to pull off that victory because BC is just so bad. Had the Riders played the Bombers or Als with their young starter, they'd have lost. Masoli just gave the game away. Never been a fan...

It’s kind of worked out for us so far, but I think it’s absolutely idiotic we’re about to have our second bye of the season before B.C even gets their first. How in the world does that make sense? Oh well, glad Oliveria is working his way back, I’m curious to see if they let him sit knowing we have the bye and he can come back fully healthy in two weeks time.
This bye system favours some teams & not others. The NFL plays a 17 game schedule with just one bye. I'd be in favour of getting rid of the third bye as it just exyends the season. Just go with two.

BC just looks awful
BC is just an awful team. They continue to put all their financial resources into their starting qb (Rourke) & his receivers. And a DE who has one skill: rushing the passer. Their defense has basically stayed the same with a smaller DL that has a hard time stopping the run & a secondary that has no support from the Front 7. Ryan Ringmaiden is supposed to be this genius GM who found all our talent in the late teens & early 20's before departing for BC. I see nothing that makes me think he took care of all the holes on the OL & defense. Buck has his work cut out for him.

If BO is back then Person for COoley makes a ton of sense...Woods is still hurt i think
Bailey for Weitz too would make a lot of sense...I don't think 3 import oline is a dire need...we need to play Wallace and let him develop....and hes hardly looked outta place
We also need to develop a speed/power end so this is the perfect opportunity
Do you think the coaches think Vanterpool could slide into Stanley Bryant's LT spot if he retires after this season?

I have no negative feelings towards Adam Bighill playing for the Stamps . If he can still play then good for him. I think he should stay retired but that's just me. I wish Adam the best as he was a warrior for us.

Don't ever question The Trinity. They walk on water. They are beyond reproach. I see no difference between losing three straight Grey Cups as compared to 3 straight Western Finals. Losing is still losing.
