  1. Just can't say D i c k. Even in a name. That's funny.
  2. And not Sunderland either? I've no idea what Wettenhall is doing. Macciocia would have been a disaster. Sunderland has connections in the US & CIS. After winning a Grey Cup he should be Next Man Up for GM.
  3. It's hard to believe that Montreal is actually considering Macciocia. He won a Grey Cup but that was Tom Higgin's team. The longer he coached & managed the Eskimos the worse they got. He hasn't a great track as GM or Head coach other than winning the Grey Cup. If this move is designed to find a billingual GM then it's a big mistake.
  4. Improper socks are a huge issue. Glad Orridge got right on that for the good of the league.
  5. I really don't understand what you're trying to say. I'm just commenting on the fact we don't hear or see gun commercials on radio & tv. That's all I was alluding to.
  6. I was in Northern Nevada a few years on vacation just driving thru. We were listening to the local radio station in this town we were in. A commercial came on from a local gun shop. The commercial was about personal safety & how owning & carrying a handgun would save not only your life but your family from hoodlums & thieves. Then they went on to describe the sale they had on different guns. Being Canadian, it was the most bizarre commercial I ever heard.
  7. Especially in the US where some States have legalized the carrying of guns & self defense laws. Back here, if there's someone acting irrationally aggressive towards you on the road then stay in your car, use your smart phone & call 911. Don't challenge them. If the other driver speeds off then get the license plate before calling police.
  8. That's kind of harsh. There's more than a few crappy sportscasters from all around the country working in front of the camera or behind the mic on radio. He's a bad football pbp announcer but that shouldn't be a reason to hate he's from Winnipeg.
  9. The police allow it. They could say no but they have some twisted view that "peaceful protests" trump every other person's rights. Maybe Bowman is telling them not to stop the continuing protests that we see during rush hour. It would be easy to stop it yet they don't lest they be called racists. Yes, do it at the legislature not at Portage & Main. People would probably respect them more if the protestors did.
  10. It's extremely hard to like Henry Burris when he complains about every team who has cut or traded him. He had a great game but he tarnishes his reputation every time he opens his mouth. As far as Bo Levi Mitchell goes, I hope he learns a bit of humility from that loss while still early in his career. Eating some humble pie might be the best thing long term for him.
  11. Reilly is a franchise qb. He had had a few injuries but seemed fairly healthy this past season. I think he is the face of the Eskimos. That would be a shocking event if he was traded to another team. Speaking of teams, when will the Argos make the move at head coach &/or GM? They've had nearly a month to figure out what they should do. I thought Milanovich would have been gone by Wednesday.
  12. Still need to build the Canadian content with the team especially at receiver & the DL so I don't like trading our first pick either. Although at #5 there may be players who can help us who won't have the stars of the NFL look in their eyes than at #1.
  13. Hitler never did anything to you, either. Do you have a poster of Adolph in your room?
  14. I just read he snatched Bennett off the PR? The PR?? I thought Bennett was part of the main roster? What a waste? Why did we have him on the team just to lose him like that? Actually all players on the PR are Fa's once the season ends. Great.
  15. Bennett intrigues me more than Davis. I'd be more than willing to see his stock rise on the Bomber depth chart.
  16. We have 2 draft picks in the 1st round. I don't want us to send that first pick to Edmonton for an unproven rookie qb. We need to still build our Canadian content. If the Riders trade for Franklin & dump Durant, good for them. They'll win 3 games instead of 5 or 6.
  17. So, if the Bombers are willing to pay $350,000 & Nichols wants $450,000 they settle at $400,000. That's the going rate. Bombers will have to pay.
  18. The Stamps could have won the game & they take out Mitchell & put in Buckley & it backfires. Then in OT a circus catch by Ottawa for the win. The 15 win team actually loses to the 8 win team.
