  1. The CFL is already struggling at the gate. We shouldn't be wishing all the stars to go away because we don't like them as it won't help the CFL to survive. There are players with big mouths & egos on every team. We would have no league without them.
  2. There are lots of leaders in the Stamps dressing room. Carter will know his place if he acts the way he did in Montreal. They won't pay him top dollar like other teams would as Hufnagel doesn't spend wildly on free agents. Besides, they have some young dynamic receivers now that I don't think the Stamps really need Duron Carter.
  3. Like why not just be honest & say you want Walters & O'Shea gone instead of hiding how you feel with some fantasy trade that will never happen? Then, on top of things you start telling us why it should happen. All you guys that want O'Shea gone should just give it up already. He's coming back.
  4. You mean Southern Ontario. Or Bombarier in Montreal. Where all the votes are. It doesn't help anyone else. Everything costs more. At the same time bring in policies to kill the oil industry out west with all the jobs that go with it as the Liberals don't need the west to gain power. Typically Canadian, instead of becoming competitive on the world stage the maufacturing sector relies on government subsidies or policies like a low dollar to keep them competitive when they can't do it on their own. Manufacturing is shrinking anyway as companies become more global like the auto industry. Jobs are leaving for Asia & Mexico.
  5. Maybe you should add that the lonnie's value to the American Dollar which has been under par mostly since the deal was signed.
  6. That made no sense. Having a hard time wrapping myself around that ending with Goldberg. A guy who was UFC Heavyweight champ just loses like that? So much for Paul Heyman's Beast Incarnate. It's like they're killing him off. Man, do the fans hate Roman Reigns. He's bringing Rollins down with him.
  7. He'll be 29 when his contract is up. Dave Dickenson was roughly the same age when he went down but there's a lot of great young guns coming out of the NCAA so it's tough for a "rookie" at that age to make it. For 2 seasons, Dickenson bounced around before deciding to come back as he could see the writing on the wall.
  8. Maas needs to learn humility. He has a huge chip on his shoulder.
  9. Remember Jet Packs? I think you could buy 10 & 15 games when the Jets 1.0 played out of the Winnipeg Arena. They weren't season tickets but it guaranteed your seat for those games. Don't know if it included the playoffs. Anyone remember? No need for that this time round.
  10. Women's hockey is a tough sell. Canadians only care during the Olympics as it means we'll win a gold or silver.
  11. Richards, well not so great a pick. Loffler OTOH a great pick. Win some, lose some.
  12. Even if 6,000 people are added on to the old season ticket base of about 8,000 the team is in better shape than it was in the 90's with the new building as it sells out at 15,000. Team merchandising ,marketing & tv deals are astronomical compared to what it was when Jets 1.0 were here. More sources of revenue than before.
  13. Here are some stats.. Winnipeg's population has grown by 100,000 since 1996. That's quite significant as it's almost the City of Regina. http://www.winnipeg.ca/cao/pdfs/population.pdf
  14. They're sure getting hammered just a couple of hundred miles east in NW Ontario like Dryden & Sioux Lookout. Thirty to 40 cms of snow have fallen. Winter is there to stay.
  15. Coaches are always smart when they have talent. When they don't their IQ seems to go down 20 points or however IQ is measured. Milanovich looked like a loser this year with the talent he had to work with. Looking frustrated & confused as to why things didn't work out on the field. Plus, he's the guy who thinks Drew Willy will become an elite CFL qb.
  16. I was angry with the FG call as I believe it wasn't the right one. Some people agree & some don't saying that was the only call he could have made. I think had we gone on 3rd & 4 & made it we'd have won that game. That's my opinion for what it's worth. What's done is done. However you don't pile on him or fire him for that unless he had a long list of gaffes that cost us wins. He won 5 more games this year than in 2015 & we got into the semi final. You reward success. You don't punish it. He'll be back if he wants to be back. It'll be his choice.
  17. Does anyone really know if NAFTA & these other international trade deals have made our lives better or worse? I just see jobs going to Mexico or China & the Phiullipines. Meanwhile you can't ship beer from one province to another among other things. I wish we'd take care of our own country first before trying to be wunderkinds on the world stage all the time & have everybody like us.
  18. If O'Shea leaves then Walters will deal with it. Why worry about it? Mike is an adult & he can come & go as he chooses as his contract is expiring in the next few weeks. We know the Bombers want him back so it's not something the Bombers have done to slight him. If he chooses to go elsewhere it's his choice. I fail to see the angst you show about trying to somehow read between some blurred lines. I assume that if The Coach does leave then you'll be very happy. Then you look at a guy like Lawless. He hasn't tweeted a single thing that O'Shea is rumoured to be looking elsewhere or that a team wants him. He'd have heard something. I'd be absolutely shocked if he didn't come back.
  19. I'd rate Nichols with Tom Burgess or even Sean Salisbury. I think he's better than the other 2 though. Nichols excels as a game manager. He prevents turnovers & picks other than the last regular season game where he threw 3 but that was just him having a bad game. All qbs have games like that. If we develop a dominant defense to help him we can win. That's the key to this team. It's our defense. It has to be better. It's dragging the team down. Changes have to be made. Perhaps starting at DC. We'll see. I just hope Mike O'Shea sees that.
