  1. What. A. Quarterback. One of my all time faves. I wish the Bombers would honour him. He deserves it.
  2. Drew Wolitarski
  3. How many days to kickoff?
  4. The evil "for profit".... The companies do have a right to make money after researching & developing their vaccines but there should be better distribution systems worldwide in the supply chain to get the vaccine out to third world countries faster. Have a number of factories for Africa & Asia. More than one for North America so the US can't hoarde vaccines again. AFAIK, there aren't any now. I know patentys are the issue but there has to be something that can be done to satisfy everyone. Companies that want to profit & countries that need vaccines. It's obvious that we are all going to need booster shots as the shots we received are slowly wearing off. This may need to be done once or twice a year.
  5. He feels glad? Yet his GOP base are getting sick. Where's Trump telling his asshat supporters to get vaccinated just like he was? That dumbass ***** of a senator, Marjorie Taylor Greene is still preacing Covid 19 is a hoax.
  6. That never stopped Kenney before.
  7. Yeah, I "slagged" him alright. I guess talking about it must be verbotten in your world. What was it, 7 years ago? He has long gotten over it. I have as well. If he re-signed here, I'd be happy.
  8. My Mom had this when I was growing up. But it wasn't called the Chop O Matic. It was called the Veg-A-Matic. It was great. No idea why you still can't buy this anymore. It was a wonderful invention.
  9. Former Bomber Lin J Shell passed away at 39. https://www.tsn.ca/former-cfler-lin-j-shell-dead-at-39-1.1675273
  10. It may have been but sometimes these promo ideas aren't very good.
  11. Lirim should have attempted them from the roof of IG Field. When he made that video of trick kicks just for fun, I knew nothing good would come of it if he missed when they counted on the field. His kicking fail that game was about as epic as it could get. I think he even shanked a punt that game as well. He's never made another trick video since. Hard lesson learned for Lirim. As a kicker, do your talking on the field which he now does. I think as bad as that day was for Lirim, it ultimately made him a better player mentally. He is now helluva kicker who doesn't need to do trick kick videos. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
  12. I know Chill from Calgary. Great guy. Thanks for helping him out.
  13. Thank you for calling me kid. I haven't been called that since I was last checked for ID trying to get into a bar in 1977.
  14. Don't usually quote myself but I think this is relevant to the discussion. The Stamps are always bringing in receivers. Even when they had the best receiving corps in the league & had a couple of thousand yard receivers a season. They'd always have a plethora of receivers practicing with the team. They wanted competition. They were never unhappy with the receivers they had.
  15. Another day, another series of negative BS TBurg posts. Starting to remind me of the nutcase who stalked Lyle Bauer on Our Bombers who had nicknames for him & everyone else he hated.
  16. I feel bad for his loved ones but not him. He mocked vaccines & Covid 19 & now he's found out what Karma's about.
  17. Why would anyone think they're unhappy?
  18. Calvin McCarty coming out of retirement & signing with the Stamps has caused a lot of angst in Edmonton with Elks fans. Some are calling him a "traitor"..
  19. I thought you'd have showed some patience by waiting at least to the second series of the first game of the regular season before making that declaration. Never satisfied. Always finding something to crticize. Nothing's ever good enough. Here's to you, T Burg.
  20. Should nations go billions of dollars into debt to fund the Summer Olympics? Divert money into facilities that could be used for infrastructure, healthcare & education instead of elite international athletes? Is it okay to geo politicize the Olympics? Like I said, up to me the Olympics would cease to be forever.
  21. No interest in these games. Totally selfish move by the IOC & completely irresponsible to hold them. Don't plan on watching even a minute.
  22. Surprised the Bombers haven't issued a statement acknowledging the passing of former assistant coach Ellis Rainsberger on July 17th. He was the Bombers OC under Ray Jauch from 1978-82 which coincided with the most successful years that Dieter Brock had as a qb with the Bombers. Under Rainsberger, Brock became a prolific pocket passer able to see the whole field rather than primarily a sprint out left & right quarterback that he was under HC Bud Riley & just concentrating on seeing half the field. With Rainsberger as his coach over the next 5 seasons, Brock would throw for 19,480 yards. He attempted 2,463 paases & completed 1,460. He threw 126 TD passes & 72 interceptions. The Bombers reached the Western Semi Final in 1978 & 81 as well as the Western Final in 1980 & 82. Under Rainsberger's tutelage, Brock was a CFL Western Division All Star in 1980, 81 & 82 as well CFL All Canadian QB in 1980 & 81. He would also win back to back CFL Most Outstanding Player Awards in 1980 & 81. After he left the Bombers, Rainsberger became an assistant coach with the Denver Gold in 1983 & then Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Maulers both of the USFL. He returned to the CFL in 1986 to the end of the 1988 season where he coached the OL with the Toronto Argonauts. He retired following the 2007 season after 3 years with the Miami Dolphins as a scout. Rainsberger was 88 years of age. RIP Ellis Rainsberger. Those years you spent coaching Dieter Brock was magical. https://www.cflaa.ca/cfl-alumnus-ellis-rainsberger-passes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cfl-alumnus-ellis-rainsberger-passes
