2021 (??) CFL Season
With single game betting, a full TV season as well as an 18 game regular season next year it is hoped that salaries will rise significantly in 2022.

Covid-19
The ones that scream Freedom are the ones that do the least & then complain they have the right to be treated equally. That's Alberta's way & Noeller is right.

Seems to be more of these problems with Moderna than Pfizer.

You said Walby quit after I asked you. You also said anyone that retires before their contract expires are quitters. Even in the off season. I didn't say it. You did. Own it. People that say stupid things win stupid prizes.

Hamilton qb David Watford has announced he has retired as per his twitter account. I tried screen shotting it with no success.

No dude... All anyone has to do is read the exchange & judge for themselves.

Screw you. You said what you said & now you're backing off? At least own it & what you said. Don't be a wimp denying it like a coward. I hate entitled fans like you thinking players owe you something when they don't.

We had one that I know of. Bryant Mitchell. According to a certain poster here they didn't retire. They quit & don't deserve anyone celebrating their careers. They're all losers, he says.

The TV Thread
Fuggedabout the hole with people screaming. Christopher tells Tony & Paulie about the Hell he saw where the Italians play the Irish in poker in an Irish bar on St Patrick's Day which never ends & the Irish win every hand.

Art Bell. Someone lowered a microphone into a deep hole in Russia & they could hear moans & screams. They claimed it was Hell.

For All The Dad's Out There
Okay, this may be a day late but it's still worth sharing. We had a house in Southdale in the 90's. It was about 1400 square feet with an undeveloped basement. My oldest son loved hockey so we had a full size hockey net, baseball glove, a couple of orange floor hockey balls mask, goalie stick & a couple of regulation hockey sticks downstairs. Both my sons & I would goof around taking shots. This would have been 94-95. I was 39, My oldest was 9 & my youngest 5. One time, my oldest made a bunch of flukey saves on me when we were playing. I should have scored but he made at least 3 pretty nice saves one after another after another. Well, the competitive juices were flowing inside him showing up his father & he was getting cocky. He said, "C'mon Dad. Is that all you got??" And with every save he'd trash talk even more for a little kid. Then he says, "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, OLD MAN???" He called me an Old Man & I wasn't even 40 yet??? I thought, "Okay Hotshot, I'll show you!!" So I laid into the stick as hard as I could with a slapshot & I nailed my son in the groin. It's an orange floor hockey ball that could sting & I whipped it pretty good. I didn't mean to hit him. I wanted to blow a few by him just to show him his Old Man ain't so old after all. So, my son's on the floor gasping in pain & turning different shades of colour on his face. I'm panicking worried he's hurt but not wanting him to cry or I'll get in supreme **** from my wife for being stupid. I'm telling him to take a deep breath & relax. Don't cry. Inside my head, I'm thinking, "If he cries I'm so dead!!" Things calmed down after a few minutes & I said to both boys as my youngest watched the whole thing take place. "Don't tell Mom. This is just between us. DON'T TELL MOM!!' My oldest who had almost recovered said okay as he knew it wasn't intentional he wouldn't tell his Mom. My five year old said, "I won't tell either Dad". I thought, "Phew, I dodged a bullet!" Suddenly my 5 year old goes running up the stairs into the kitchen yelling, "MOMMMM!! Dad hit .... in the nuts playing hockey & he hurt him!!" I hear the thumping of my wife's feet upstairs as she rushed to the basement, flew down the stairs & yelled, "What happened??" I told her that I hit our son accidentally in the nuts with a slapshot but he's fine. She asked me how I could have done that. I told the truth & said he called me an Old Man so I had to put him in his place. Was that ever the wrong answer!! If there was a prize for stupid husband answers of maybe all time that would have been a sure winner. She just looked at me angrily & said, "So, you're the adult here & upset that your 9 year old son called you old & you shot that ball so hard you hurt him??" I sheepishly said yes. & that my bruised ego got the best of me. At that point my son saved my bacon when he told his Mom that he was okay. I think he saw his Dad was sinking fast & took pity on me. She just looked at both of us & as she went back upstairs she said, "Boys. We should have had 2 girls." When I coached football & both my sons were playing on different teams, we'd come home from our practices absolutely wired & we'd be so loud yelling, wrestling one another & banging around for about an hour after. Sometimes the brothers would start fighting & we'd have to calm them down. Sometimes I needed to be calmed down & not the kids. My wife still talks about that 20 years later. How crazy our house was when it came to sports. The three of us just laugh remembering what we were like. Miss those days. Hope everyone had a Happy Fathers Day.

You're the one who can't stop talking about our lack of developing qbs going back 50 years. You're pushing the discussion agenda here & not anyone else. It got old fast but yet here you are still talking about it 18 months after our Grey Cup win. The other positions? All doom & gloom. As I said, it gets old fast.

I've been savouring this win now for 19 months. I don't give a damn about our so called record developing qbs. Most if not all teams in the CFL struggle doing the same. We won. That's all I care about. And I agree McGuire shows a helluva lot of promise as a backup. Who knows, maybe Streveler gets cut in Arizona & is back here by September. We just don't know.- 2021 (??)

Thye only thing I'll agree with you on is that yes, Brock didn't win a championship here. Whose to say it wouldn't have happened under Murphy in 1984 but it didn't as he was in Hamilton. We'll never know if he would have. Clements was a great fit but he also lost 4 out of the 5 years he was the Bombers qb in the playoffs. Whose to say Brock wouldn't have won a couple of Grey Cups he had stayed. Clements & Brock were 2 of the Top 3 qbs in the CFL when the trade was made in 1983. The other qb played in Edmonton & he left for Houston the next season along with his Head Coach. So, to me it's a wash... Brock got some bad advice from his agent Gil Scott who soured him on playing here. Scott has always been about the money & never about the fit. If you read his book you'll know Brock regrets his actions & wishes he wouldn't have left. Even playing in the NFL for more money after he left Hamilton didn't change the way he felt. That it was a huge mistake & he has regrets today. But such is life. We all have different paths to wander. Some good & some not so good. It's up to us to make the best of it.... As far as your other takes here about the Bombers on this thread, well...- 2021 (??) CFL Season

If we win 12 games you'll insist we only really earned 4 of them & therefore don't deserve to be in the playoffs.- 2021 (??) CFL Season
Wait, I missed this. Brock was just a"good starter" ??? WTF? - 2021 (??) CFL Season
