  1. That's obvious. Wah, wah, wah, waaaaaah...
  2. Gretzky was never dirty. He had Semenko looking out for him. Gordie Howe was dirty. Bobby Clarke was dirty.
  3. Does anybody care that you defended Collaros when he was an Argo? No. I think you stepped into a big puddle of poop & are trying to find something to wash your shoe off with as it stinks. Harris gets injured badly. You call it Karma? I call it wrong.
  4. Thanks for that story. A great read about your Dad. Something tells me that you needed to tell that story as a way of still grieving your Father's loss & to get it all out. So, it was therapeutic to do so & good for your soul. My condolences on the loss of your hero. I grew up in a totally different era. The 1960's. An era of no social media, 3 channel television, No NHL. No NFL. No Blue Jays, Expos or Raptors. No nothing. Winnipeg was less than 500,000 people. The only thing we had were the Bombers. For me, they were the Bombers of the Bud Grant era. Big, tough, talented & winners. Six Grey Cup appearances & 4 Championships. All against those sad sack Jim Trimble led Tiger Cats. My Dad was just a casual fan. He liked the Bombers but his life was his family, his successful auto body business, hunting & fishing. We never went to a Bomber game together until I was in my 20's & I had season tickets. It was my neighbour Mr McGibney who used to tell me stories about all the Bomber heroes going back to 1935 at Osborne Stadium. He saw all the lefendary Bomber players perform on the field. Guys like Fritz Hanson, Bob Fritz, Jack Jacobs, Tom Casey, Neil Armstrong, D ic k Huff, the Grant era players all the way into the mid 60's. When he regaled about the team back then, I could see those players come alive in my head & it was fantastic. His love for the Bombers transferred to me & even though guys like Butch Pressley, Paul Desjardins, Phil Minnick, Ken Nielsen, Amos Van Pelt, Mitch Zalnasky. Glenn Schapansky, John Schneider, Glenn Orris, Ron Johnson, John Senst, Lou Andrus, Ed Breding, Chip Barrett, Wally Gabler & others only won a couple of games a year for 5 straight years in the second half of the 1960's, I became a fan. I didn't care if they won two games or 20 as they were my team, The Bombers have always been my team for nearly 60 years. They always will be.
  5. No, a lot of us weren't happy how he left & some of the things he said but that doesn't mean that we wanted him to get injured & suffer. Karma or no karrma.
  6. It's official. Harris is done for the season. He'll be having surgery. https://www.tsn.ca/toronto-argonauts-andrew-harris-done-for-season-1.1837687?fbclid=IwAR3rfa-rqw34QNvLw4LGXzOWKgudpUKJV2RbcHYq5TBUi101cSOH3sVCFNw
  7. This discussion just proves one thing... We've all said something stupid here. All of us. Even 17to85 who is almost damned near perfect.
  8. No, Harris being injured is not deserved. That's like saying anyone you hate should die. That they deserve it. No, they don't.
  9. What Rhodes did. I don't know if that was historic or just plain stupid. I'm leaning towards stupid...
  10. Yeah, I saw something amiss with that snap.
  11. Too bad for Harris. Time to hang up the football helmet for good.
  12. Have the Argos made any announcement on Harris yet?
  13. Nah, not this time. I'm glad the bye is here. The players are exhausted & beat up. They need this week off badly so I'm happy they're having a rest. Hopefully we heal up a bit as well.
  14. You know what that last kick of Liegghio in regulation time reminded me of? When we were kids, we'd go to a community or school field. They have those metal soccer posts. We'd take a football, use the heel from our shoes or runners to make a hole in the ground to prop the ball up like a tee. Then from 20 yards try to kick it as hard as we could over the goalpost Usually the ball went sideways & we all laughed & mocked whoever kicked it. If the football got 5 feet off the ground we were doing good. Lol.
  15. You made a comment & didn't get the reaction you expected. Welcome our world here. It's happened to eveyone. I've been a member here at Morning Big Blue since it started a decade ago & the old site Our Bombers before that. It still happens to me. You have to develop a tougher skin than you seem to have to survive around here. Don't relate criticism to hatred, non positivity or bad fans here. The members here are passionate about the Bombers. We disagree & we fight. Sometimes it gets down & dirty which is okay as the Mods are here to keep everything on the straight & narrow. At the end of the day we are hard core fans & we are proud of the team we love. If you want to leave then leave but don't announce as we don't care. Better yet, stick around, take some lumps for what you posted & expect more of the same in the future. You may find the discussion here is worth a few bruises.
  16. Oh my....
  17. Her actual name is Dildo.
  18. Maxime Bernier must be close by.
  19. Methinks I'm done.
