CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Big deal. Good for him. Maybe in 5-10 years I'll be ready to welcome him on the ROH. Now, he's just another Argo that I don't care about. When he left here he just kept shooting off his mouth. -
CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The same question is asked here in YYC. We have tons of oil money & a billionaire who owns the Stamps a couple of times over in Murray Edwards & nothing ever gets done. The Flames (whom he also owns) proposed a new arena in 2015 & here we are... Eight years later. -
I curled in the School Boy's Bonspiel ( now called the Junior Men's Bomsiel) in the mid 70's & later the MCA Bonspiel (later in the 70's to the late 80's). I liked the curling facility at the Highlander. I guess it's now a hockey rink. Our biggest claim to fame in the Junior Bonspiel was having our team mentioned as "the team to watch" by CJOB's Bob Irving on his 12;25 pm sportscast as we were undefeated going into the 8's of the Free Press Event. Then we ran into the buzzsaw team skipped by Dale Duguid (the eventual champ) who cut us into little pieces & It. Was. Over. It was fun while it lasted.

Als at Stamps, Ti Cats at Argos GDT
SpeedFlex27 replied to bustamente's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Maier just throwing the ball away. Those throws for interceptions were awful. The Stamps have no one else at qb. Tommy Stevens is like Dakota Prukop. He is a runner & not a passer. Not capable of ever being a starter. -
Als at Stamps, Ti Cats at Argos GDT
SpeedFlex27 replied to bustamente's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
How did we lose to the RedBlacks, Ti Cats & Riders??? All with rookie qbs. Huge difference when Matt Scianetti hosts. He actually knows what he is talking about. Kate should be reassigned to doing checker tournaments but in today's world of broadcasting, she gets a free pass onto the panel as the token female. Scianetti should be hosting & Dave Naylor should be a full time participant on that panel. That would be an immediate improvement. -

The Team Prez says a new stadium is off the table. They want to renovate Percival Molson Stadium. The place is 113 years old. Just how many times can you put lipstick on a pig? Oh an injury. That's part of the game & that is what Harris was dealing with his final season here. Just pure ego & selfishness. Pay me or else. Or else meant the Argos & look where he is. Backing up Ouelette, a guy he probably thinks isn't as good as him but he was still being paid to sit getting limited reps. Now he's been 6 gamed on the IR. -

So, he sulks & ******* leaving us only to lose his starting spot with the Argos to Ouelette. I don't remember Harris complaining when that happened. That's what bothers me. If he felt disrespected here by Walters & O'Shea then how come he didn't feel disrrspected by Dinwiddie & Pinball? Oh yeah, he got paid. -
Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Anyone really think the Argos will really have troublr signing their veterans? I don't. They'll do what they have to do to sign any veteran they want. -
Cue the confusion with the State of Montana & Yellowstone.

Same answer. -
Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We suspect that the Argos always spend over the cap & the league allows it to have a competitive team in Toronto. Not if it's a community team. -

Now Harris can turn his attention to his junior football team in Nanaimo instead of his misplaced anger at us. As far as I'm concerned Harris can retire. I don't care if he ever plays us again. -
Winnipeg Jets 2023 Off-Season Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
The season doesn't start until October so no need to lock it so fast. Cheveldayoff would never answer that question, HardCoreBlue. -
Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The salary cap is too ridiculously low. Nest season's hundred thousand dollar increase will be eaten up just resigning veterans & with inflation. It won't begin to cover signing anyone new. That'll mean goodbye to some veterans we love. This off season may not be much fun as to who goes to afford signing Schoen & Demski. As well, can we afford to keep both? Gawd, I hope so. -
I wasn't against the restrictions, vaccine passports & masking. However, with vaccines available now & the fact that Covid 19 is weakening with every new variant I'd be against all that now. We have to get on with life. Canada's Chief Public Officer of Health Theresa Tam saying we need to mask again will never happen. Restrictions are certainly out as well.

Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
SpeedFlex27 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Five teams were over in 2022 including us so I think we do spend to the cap & beyond. Now, does that bother me? Not in the least. If we have to spend over the cap to field the best team if it means winning a championship then so be it. Winning means increased attendance which means more parking, concessions & merchandise slaes. It also means that player salaries will increase. In order to retain the FA's we want & to sign new ones if going over the cap then again, so be it. You can't tell me MLSE doesn't overspend past the cap with FA's every year so then why should we be suckers? Nice guys finish last. -
And to make themselves look good, A & W just muddies the issue. Very interesting, thanks.
-
I just don't get what it means as far as beef is comcerned & safety of those eating A & W burgers. That's what I thought so why is A & W making it out to be a good thing? These corportaions just lie to us making themselves out to be heroes when they're not.
-
What does it mean when A & W claims its burgers come from cattle that have had no antibiotics?
-
He had a phenomenal voice.

SpeedFlex27 replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The sad thing is that when this "new & improved" league does fold there'll be another right behind it ready to go. Thinking their way will be the right way & it will be a success. -

Past history for $200, Alex. -
It's been ugly for years & years.

My wife says that Covid is going thru her office right now. A number of her coworkers have tested positive so are away. My friend also told me that at his son's engagement party last Sunday, two people had Covid, knew it & still showed up. His son's future Mother In Law & her son. He said he's taking the week off in case he has it. My wife is also okay, so far. As my wife said to me yesterday, "People are idiots". We won't be having lockdowns or restrictions anymore. Masking, maybe or maybe not, It's become like th flu or cold. People will give it to one another. It'll make the rounds.
