You treat fans with no respect & that's what happens.

We looked like **** in all 3 phases of the gane vs the Stanps last week. That's what Tracker is talking about,

Notes? Surely you jest.

I live in YYC so the signal doesn't make it. Online, I listen to classic rock when I'm on my laptop. But radio is getting really bad.

I know we're a bit off topic here but the Bombers had a true hero play for them in the 1930's. His name was Jeff Nicklin. He was from Fort William, Ontario but moved to Winnipeg. He grew up in Lord Roberts & lived on Rathgar Avenue. He got married at St. Albans Anglican Church in Lord Roberts. He enlisted in the Army in 1940 & trained to be a paratrooper. I grew up on the other side of Osborne Street in Riverview so I'm proud knowing that Nicklin who heroically sacrificed everything for this country lived in the same area where I grew up. The Jeff Nicklin Trophy is given to the Western Division's MOP. Last year, Brady Oliveira won it. If you don't know who Jeff Nicklin was then please read this. https://westenddumplings.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-greatest-blue-bomber-youve-never.html

People like me who remember the 60's & 70's are dying off. That's why classic rock stations now play Eminem. There's no more Birds, Animals or Rascals being played.

They'd be the Winnipeg Winnipegs.

I appreciate your support of my CFL History group page on Facebook. Not to be mistaken for the copycat Canadian Football History page started by someone else.

Just a quick comment regarding the postponed game last night. The CFL & CFLPA said it was too dangerous to play due to smoke. Yet, the league made 27000 people sit outside in that same noxious smoke for over 4 hours while TSN, the CFL & CFLPA couldn't get their **** together to make a call to postpone the game so people could get out of the smoke.

Last time we had a streak like this was in 1972. The CFL had 16 regular season games back then. The Bombers sold out 7 of their 8 regular season home games. Capacity at Winnipeg Stadium as it was called back then was 25,210. The only game that wasn't sold out was the Montreal Alouettes on a cold & very rainy (mixed with snow) late September eveningt when 22,000 fans showed up for the game. Including Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau who was in Winnipeg to meet with Premier Ed Schreyer.

Hopefully, he gets there one day.

My gosh. How can you even say that with a straight face?

His buddy James West should be in there as well.

Dustin Crum

He plays the same all the time, No sense of urgency. He does put up big yards in a losing cause, like Harris.

The HC signs off on everything. He has the last word. The DC may have certain personnel he wants to play but if Coach says no, it's no.

Who is the guy with the droopy head who looks asleep in his stance? Jake Thomas the guy with the third highest reps on the team. Jeezus.

Brandon Alexander & Collaros was hurt as well. However, I get starting Collaros even with a bum ankle. Posters here going after the members they think complain too much & then they throw up shade making excuse after excuse actually keeping the merry go round going. The coaching decisions cost us those Grey Cups. The 2023 Grey Cup with all the injured players, especially with Biggie playing on one leg, Schoen barely able to run & was a non factor...etc, etc. Last year playing Collaros with a severed finger on his throwing hand. That's all coaching decisions.

Osh didn't move on from those guys because he felt there were better players available. The injuries forced him to. If Biggie could play at 45 years of age & run a 6.5 forty & have a vertical jump of 9 inches then he'd start.

Schoen (bad knee still favouring), Wheatfall (great potential still learning. Can't be depended upon yet to make the great contested downfield catches), Demski (great old pro who get by with guile & experience. Isn't the same guy he was even 2 yrs ago) & Clercius (may be a diamond). I rate them 9th. Didn't have to be that way, either.

He became a cheapskate amid these massive profits the team is now reaping... Why? Yeah, we have a veteran team but so what? A GM should still be aggressive even with a veteran team signing free agent players to push the guys already there. So, we sign a veteran free agent who pushes out a player already at that position. So what? I look at that as an improvement. Not just handing a guy like Thomas a starting spot every year. If Thomas is our best & the coaches actually think the players behind aren't as good as he is, then they all need to be swept away. Other teams do that but we don't. There seems to be a few sacred cows on this team with O'Shea.

I doubt this group strikes fear in the hearts of DC's throughout the league, Wheatfall is still learning & Demski can't do the things he used to. If Schoen is out or playing injured then teams can take away Wheatfall's deep threat. Clercius is a keeper but is strictly a posession receiver. The other guys, well...

Yeah, totally backward. The Grant thing as well. Comments here about Grant going radio silent in th off season like he's off the grid. Really? I'm sure his agent can find him if a new contract was offered lickety split. Just a bunch of stupid excuses, Consider this: We have the worst receiving corps in the CFL without Lawler. We're also the worst kick & punt return game in the CFL. We can't find an impact returner if the team's survival depended upon it. And we let the best returner in CFL history just..... go. What's he being paid in Toronto? Something like $85,000 Canadian? Like WTH, Walters??? Trey Vaval looked promising but he seems to be fading...

Walter's approach is totally different than it was decade ago. Back then, he was aggressive in free agency trying to build a contender. He was willing to pay for players & take risks & eventually he accomplished his goal as it paid off with GC wins back to back in 19 & 21.. I don't want to say Walters has become fat & sassy but this isn't the same guy as GM he was even back as recently as 2017-18. He comes across as he doesn't have to fill holes on the team as they'll fix themselves. He hasn't had a great off season in years. Players, coaches, & management leave & it's like the Stamps old mantra, "Next Man Up". Which is all well & good until there's no more Men to step up as the Stamps found out this decade. We've won because we had great depth but you can see that depth is being depleted & getting thinner. He seems to let Osh have total control on the roster, like who plays & who doesn't when our HC needs to be reigned in. As I said, not the same GM as he used to be.

Whyte is Mr Automatic but Buck pushed the envelope on that second last play. He got lucky.
