Until we lose a game by one point because we went for two when we didn't have to. Always take the points. Don't leave any on the field if you don't have to. At least that's my philosophy, Booch. I know there are some coaches who would disagree.

Ah, screw them. They took it off Paramount & put it on Paramount + so I never saw the final season. Same with Tulsa King. Don't care.

No, I'm serious. You can't put more into it depending on yardage as a kicker. You'll end up punching the ball. Shanking it. Or kicking a line drive. It has to be the same everytime. Now, things like angle, wind & field conditions play into that. But the actual kick is always the same. So, I'm talking about consistency.

Nope. You kick it the same everytime. Whether it's 15 or 50 yards.

I was part the original crew that worked at Bonanza. We opened in November 1973. I was in Grade 12. Winnipeggers loved the place. Man, were we busy!!!

Lieghhio's not but his responsibility is to get the ball over the LOS. He kicked a line drive shank.

Grew up in a strongly conservative household in Winnipeg. My dad was a small business owner. He owned an auto body shop in St. Boniface right next door to the Norwood Hotel on Marion Street. My dad didn't like the NDP. Thought they were bad for business & just wanted to tax & spend taxpayer's money. He admired Duff Roblin & John Diefenbaker. So, when Ed Schreyer's NDP beat the Conservatives in Manitoba I was 14 & the next few years our house was full of conversation about how bad the NDP was. Like I said, Voting NDP for me is a huge geological shift. If you lived here you'd cringe having to vote for Danielle Smith. You can't trust her as she flip flops on things she said on talk radio. We have hit the bottom of the barrell here in Alberta. Oh yeah. For sure.

Yeah, that would be a good analogy. Lol. Truthfully, Lunsford was a mean spirited SOB who didn't like to be crossed. He ran a lot of great players out of town. In particular, supertars like Dave Raimey, Mack Heron, Jim Thorpe, Bernie Ruoff & Don Jonas.

It's not her in particular. She's NDP. I'm leaning more & more to voting NDP because I don't like Danielle Smith either. I don't like her health spending account idea. I don't believe that she'll suddenly stop with her idea of making people pay to see their doctor. I don't trust her. I also don't think she cares about anyone but herself. I could go on about her talking to that POS Pawloski & having her photo taken with trucker convoy people. Voting NDP even though I don't like them is a huge change for me politically. I have always voted conservative every federal & provincial election since I turned 18. I'm certainly torn ideologically.

Now, with Castillo here I can relax a bit. When Lieghhio kicks, I don't have to cross my fingers, close my eyes & say out loud anymore, "C'mon! C'mon!" And when he'd miss a convert or easy FG, I'd be yelling, "#@%^&*!!! I knew it! I knew it!!" My stress level should be a lot less much like when Jason Medlock was our kicker. He just had this aura of confidence around him that his teammates & fans could sense. With Lieghhio, he always seemed to be in panic mode half the time.

I don't love Rachel Notley. I don't love Danielle Smith. She's a nutbar.

One of my favourite Lightfoot song... So many.

You didn't live thru the Earl Lunsford years. Other than a few good years under Jim Spavital, Bud Riley & ray Jauch, it was mostly dismal. Any player he didn't like or he felt crossed him he got rid of because his huge ego would be offended. Basically 15 years of mediocrity. He was hired as Stamps GM in the mid 80's & his teams there were even worse.

Danielle Smith. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

What about the Bombers tells you it's a growth & development team? This is a win now organization. There's a lot of veterans in the sunset of their careers. Obviously, there is a lot of disatisfaction with Liegghio. There's no time waiting for him to develop. He's had 2 seasons to figure it out & he still has issues with pressure. The Bombers are ready to move on, it seems. If Walters & O'Shea are ready to move on from Legs then I'm okay with that. I've said the exact same thing here about Maver about 6 or 7 times this past year just to fall on deaf ears.

Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh...

Please start your own thread on this.

Thanks for letting me know.

Past the constipation part thankfully. I switched from hydromorphone when I got home. After 4 days to T4's for a week & then to Tramadol/cet which is a very good pain reliever & doesn't plug up the plumbing. Using less & less pain meds. I just want this damned infection to go away.

I had a friend of mine yesterday ask me why the Stamps drafted three receivers when they have needs elsewhere. I think what happned with this draft is that so many quality Canadian players got drafted or were signed by NFL teams as free agents that most teams lists were chucked out the window. I think teams just drafted the best player available in their mind when their turn came. Other than that, I have zero knowledge of the players taken so I won't comment further. I defer to you as the expert here regarding the draft.

I wonder what happened to LaPo?

Everybody thinks they're experts on the Draft. These are all unknowns. Selecting them is a dice throw in a crap shoot. We know the Bombers & other teams have done their due dilligence but John Hodge?

I have an infection in & around a couple of staples in my knee. It's been oozing liquid now for a week. Up until yesterday, my wife who is an RN was monitoring & cleaning it twice daily. The liquid coming out was a colour not indicating an infection until yesterday morning when I woke up with a stinging sensation on my knee. Went to the hospital. Turns out it is infected & I'm now being given IV antibiotics at a place called the HPTP clinic at the Rockyview Hospital. (Don't aske me what it means). I have to go in later this morning for another round of IV antibiotics. I have an IV line sticking out of my left arm. I am getting my staples out on Thursday. The surgeon wants to see me at the Rockyview where I had my surgery on last April 19th. Generally, the nurse-practioner at the knee clinic takes out the staples but the physician who examined my knee yesterday wants my surgeon to check it out & take out the staples. One good thing is I can ask for freezing as taking out the staples in the infected area will be very painful. My wife looked at my knee before she left for work this morning & she said my knee looks a bit better than yesterday. I was in excruciating pain this past weekend. Not fun. Pain level is waaaaaay down. I just hope the surgeon doesn't have to debride the area which will be painful. So , good & bad news.

That is awful. Tracker. I hope the second go round is better. I'm having some issues which I'll get into. Not a happy situation for me but it could be worse,

It goes way beyond that.
