Cactus Jack Wells interviews halfback Billy Joe Crystal at practice in 1963.

Knew you'd see it my way. Thanks.

I have no problem with Jones wanting to better himself but he signed a contract extension & should honour his commitment., There should be no "outs". if he wants a new contract okay then he got one then he can't leave.

Jones & Hufnagel almost had fisticuffs in the Stamps office when he told Huff he was leaving.

Such a typical dirtbag move by Jones. Signs a new deal then walks away days later. The Riders deserve it as they did the same to the Eskimos.

Great, you just gave Skunk food for thought.

Sure.

If a new ST movie is made then all the characters will be recast. So, there'll be another Checkov. Another Spock. Another Kirk. Hopefully we'll finally be done with the alternate Kelvin Universe.

If the CFL brought in replacement players as free agents how many of you would attend a free agent camp? If this was the 70's or early 80's I'd be in BIG TIME! As of now I'm reduced to this.... But it's so much fun to be crotchety.

When no one wants to crow about & disclose $$$ amounts I think it's peanuts.

I have no problems going after different revenue streams but maybe Ambrosie should take care of business here first. Like a new CBA first & foremost & the drain of free agents being signed by NFL teams which hurts continuity & name recognition with casual fans. At least get the CBA done & I won't be as concerned. I think his priorities are all screwed up.

So, one or 2 local German players are going to arouse interest? Seems to me the CFL has to do that itself by getting games televised in Europe & educating fans about the wide open Canadian 3 down game. Then playing exhibition games over there. Sadly, the CFL barely promotes the game in Canada let alone in Mexico or Germany. Teams shut down for months in winter with hardly any news for local fans. If we can't promote in our own cities then why would the CFL promote in other countries. Call me skeptical.

How many Mexicans or Germans know of Winnipeg?

More like over 100,000 oil related jobs. Then there's Bill C69 in the Senate as well. That will prevent any future pipelines from being built. It's in the Senate now for study & could be seriously amended before being passed. Bottom line, the Stamps can't use the O & G industry now as a recruiting tool as in the past.

Calgary used to have outstanding opportunities in the O & G industry before Trudeau & the Liberals killed it off. I know of more than a few players who became millionaires after they finished playing for the Stamps.

So, a little fiction based on fact. Interesting.

1917?

So Star Trek: Discovery returns this week after nearly a year. Seems longer than a year for fans eagerly waiting for this series.

I guess according to the media in this country, Regina is the only city in the CFL where players can work in the off season or start a new career for after football. What a bunch of ****.

Gave his life for his country.

Wow, with all the other issues with this team going into the 2019 season like re-signing Bighill & a plethora of other Bomber free agents & you're worried about that now? FA for the 2020 season is 13 months away.

A day in the life of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on September 8, 1971. Talk about blanket coverage by the Freep. We can only wish for coverage like that today. I happen to remember that foreign Vaseline like substance thing on the Bombers OL jerseys. It became quite the story over the next few days. https://newspaperarchive.com/winnipeg-free-press-sep-08-1971-p-65/

The fans that overvalue these players are the first to turn on them when they don't meet their bloated expectations.

Chicken asks egg: "Hey Egg. Which came first? Wheels or Walls?"
