  1. Ryan Ballantyne. He isn't credible because he's a Stamps Boi. He doesn't care about other teams. Just the Stamps. He believes he's a credible member of the CFL media. I disagree because he's a Stamps fan. My feeling if you want to be considered a member of the legit "media" then you can't show your biases when you're reporting stories & have to be neutral. I've occasionally had the odd run in with him online. (Surprise, surprise ).... He doesn't like it if someone questions his analysis.
  2. Drew Edwards, the beat writer from the Ti Cats started it. He was reassigned & was never heard from again.
  3. I have no problem with Booch voicing his concern over the wat our roster is utilized, whether once or a thousand times. Why do you??
  4. Environmant Canada really scaled back the amount of snow the Winnipeg area will get. At least from the forecast I read this morning. I think the amount of rain & freezing rain will affect the amount of snow you guys get. Here in Calgary, we've got close to 20 cms of new snow on the ground. We've had 2 years of bad drought so I hope that this means we'll get more snow & rain for the remainder of March & into spring.
  5. It was so bad I remember some posters here being angry Justin Goltz was benched. That list makes you wonder why people wanted Brown to start over Collaros.
  6. That's a drunk not a sexual predator. It didn't sound like he was interested in anything sexual (thankfully). He's either on a psych ward now getting treatment for mental illness or going to AA meetings.
  7. Typical Noeller. I wasn't criticizing. I was listing some of the things he did by memory. Hence Boeing & not Bristol Arerospace. Noeller was 6 when Mulroney was PM.
  8. It probably kept him busy & made him feel better doing it. Sad.
  9. Yeah, let's make fun of JFK getting the back of his head blown off with his brain matter & shattered skull covering his horrified wife. Well done....
  10. Not the greatest PM in Canadian history. He brought in the free trade agreement, with the US & Mexico, saw the CF 18 contract given to Bombardier in Montreal rather than Boeing in Winnipeg which led to the rise of Western Populism & the Reform Party with the slogan, "The West Wants In". He brought in the GST, the Meech Lake Accords & had a few scandals in his second term that caused the Liberals to come back... Certainly Jean Chretien's career was resurrected from the ashes because of it. May he Rest in Peace.
  11. I agree but let's let the investigation take place before we jump to conclusions.
  12. Leo turned into a very good OLB. Too bad we had to trade him to Hamilton along with SB Gord Patterson. Patterson & Jauch couldn't stand one another. He benched Patterson in 1979 even though we were the first team in the CFL to get rid of the TE (Ezerins) in favour of an extra SB.. That should have been Patterson but Jauch said nope.
  13. Certainly looks real. Man, have styles & tastes changed.
  14. Yes, I certainly get that but my reaction is good for him. As a GM, you can't build a defense around guys like Muamba that just leave every year. I'm sure Adam Bighill wanted to provide security for his family as well. Yet, when he was still in his prime in 2018 he came to Winnipeg & in this world of one year deals put down roots. He even restructured his contract to take less to help sign other Bomber & CFL free agents. I hate the one year deals. They do nothing for the CFL except let guys move around unfettered & have driven up salaries. We're the only pro league I know of that doesn't have some kind of restricted free agency yet we have a ridiculously low salary cap. Like most things the CFL does, to me it makes no sense.
  15. Leo played TE & OLB for the Bombers from 1978-82. If the jersey just has normal stripes on the sleeves then it's from 1978 or 79. If it's 1980, it has the Bomber logo with a 50 on top of the arm stripes to mark 50 years as an organization. (It was the Bombers 50th birthday in 1980). In 1981-82, the Bomber logo is on top of the three stripes. 1980 50th anniversary logo:
  16. I wondered what happened to him as he was a pretty good DL. He just disappeared from the CFL. Now, I know why, very, very sad. Just 33. I saw his online DL coaching site. RIP, Craig. Condolences to his wife Chelsea & their family.
  17. Muamba always chased a paycheque rather than a championship. He'd rather play for a winless team as long as they paid the most. He could have gone down as one of the greats. Money rather than championships was his priority.
  18. I saw that, I'd be lying to you if I didn't laugh.
  19. Just remember for every dollar they spend on building high school football stadiums that's just means less money for the classroom.
  20. Will Corporate Winnipeg step up?
  21. There's no Cal State. It's Cal State Fullerton. They dropped their football program years ago.
