With 3 major hockey teams in Winnipeg, could this actually work?

Around the League: 2019 Off Season
SpeedFlex27 replied to SpeedFlex27's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think Chamblin wanted his coaches back something like a month earlier & Dickenson said no. So, he was fired & went to Edmonton where Chris Jones had just been hired. That was Chamblin's final year as Riders HC. He became dictatorial & eventually lost the locker room. Hopefully, he learned a huge lesson out of all that & will treat his assistants & players in Toronto a lot better. -

You do realize that Cameron was a huge kidder in general. Loved to play practical jokes. And that he was on radio trying to build up Ryan... I'd take all that with a grain of salt. You don't think Murphy knew Westwood could punt. If he could pay one player to do2 jobs then he'd have cut Cameron. Instead he knew that Cameron was the better punter & gicing 2 jobs to Westwood might affect his accuracy with the added pressure. -
Speak for yourself.

Ryan played only a few seasons in Winnipeg. Cameron punted for over 15 years. I have to agree with 17to85 here. Cameron was the best. -
That was the first season of TNG when Picard was a old grouch who didn't like anything. They mellowed him in subsequent seasons or that series wouldn't have lasted very long with a captain pissed off at everything & everyone.

I saw the first episode of Magnum: PI & wasn't t impressed. Haven't watched it since. Only Tom Selleck could play Thomas Magnum. I used to watch that show regularly back in the 80's. Plus Higgins is now a woman. I guess in today's world an all male cast just isn't politically correct. It didn't seem at all like the old show & if not, why bother? They could have had an original action drama cop show from Hawaii & people would watch it.

Magnum PI renewed? Never thought it had a chance.

Well, wow, really truth or BS? -
Leaving them behind because they were a pre warp society was IMO the wrong decision. I agreed with Burnham that the descendants were taken against their will & should be returned to Earth although they may not have existed as they were saved from WW3. In the 24th century they very easily could have been educated to live during that century with advance technology. I think the best choice would have been to let the inhabitants know who they were & through that one scientist help to bridge the shocking fact they had been there for 300 years.

No coach should have a job for life unless he's Vince Lombardi or Bud Grant.

August 28,1954. The BC Lions first game in the Western Interprovincial Football Union, the precursor to the Canadian Football League. Lions fullback Byron Bailey scores the teams very first touchdown at Empire Stadium.

Paul Robson won 1 Grey Cup as a GM. To this day, I have no idea why he left the Bombers to go to the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1987. When he was fired after the 1988 season, it finished his career as a CFL exec. Cal Murphy won 2 Grey Cups & lost 2 as Blue Bomber GM. Although in 1992 he was lying flat on his back in hospital in London, Ontario recovering from a heart transplant.

His legs were huge. He wasn't easy to bring down. I saw him break tackles.

Halfback Mack Herron running behind Offensive Guard Larry Slagle during the 1972 CFL season in a game in Calgary. Herron at 5'5 could literally disappear from the view of defenders charging into the LOS. However, don't let his diminutive size fool you. At 185 lbs he had legs that looked like tree trunks & was surprisingly powerful. With a low center of gravity he was difficult to bring down. In 1972, he was the leading rusher in the CFL with 1,527 yards & 11 touchdowns. He was runner up to Hamilton's Garney Henley for the CFL Most Outstanding Player.

Of course that was the logical & common sense thing to do. But it's the Riders. And if they can cause trouble on other teams coaching staffs then that is just what they do. -
To me, the Discovery's Sarek was closer to Mark Lenard's Sarek from TOS. His portrayal wasn't cold but logical. He did not approve of Spock giving up the Vulcan Science Academy for a career in Starfleet but he was fiercely proud of his son. And Lenard's Sarek did portray a sense of humour as well. So, to me he was closer to canon for the franchise.

They either will or have interviewed Craig Dickenson. I heard they may interview Mike Benevides. He would solve the problem of hiring a HC & DC in 1 position. Instead of hiring a guy like LaPo & a then a DC. -
