Truthfully didn’t watch Vaughters much and I missed one of the plays Bonds got burnt on. Saw Kyrie get lost in pass coverage a couple times. Gauthier got washed out at the LOS a handful of times. Didn’t think much of Parker at all at safety today. Kyrie to his credit had a couple moments where he shined as well.

HH award goes to @lyin' guy crying about the Bombers over on RF.com lol what a little baby that guy turned out to be

I thought the only people who had a less than good game were Kyrie, Parker and Gauthier.

I honestly think that’s just a small man losing against a not so small man. I wouldn’t have challenged that. Blurry replay on the big screen so I’d like to see it on TV but that’s how it looked in person

Literally exactly why I didn’t want Parker at safety

Streveler MVP

5 on the line of scrimmage on the TD and the guys Rourke gets by are Gauthier and Ayers. What the ****

Trade Brady for the next great white hope from Acadia at defensive tackle

It’s really not even that bad, so I don’t get why people are whining about the criticism. Sterns/Mitchell/White is likely just preference. Corcoran being the backup receiver, who cares? That’s the nature of the CFL. Nobody would care about that if he was American. The defensive choices are what confuse me and always will. I don’t see a world where Jordan Younger loves the defensive lineup and wouldn’t change anything about it - he stresses versatility and we hardly have any on the DL.

I’m on a football discussion forum discussing football and you’re on a football discussion forum discussing how people choose to discuss football. Who do you think is the problem here?

Maybe it’s because we’ve seen the same stubborn loyalty to veterans for a few seasons and some people would like to see the team adopt a slight shift in philosophy so that it could potentially lead to winning the Grey Cup, not just being in it.

Jones and Mitchell almost 300k a season to sit

I love this opinion, especially from someone who loves to throw out “and I did football clinics so trust me bro” whenever it suits their own agenda. Newsflash: Walters and O’Shea haven’t made decisions that resulted in a Grey Cup win for three seasons now. That means that their decisions, which are based off their own opinions not fact, are not infallible.

Embarrassing

This is where familiarity bias is stepping in. BC dressed an American fullback who played zero snaps literally last week.

You could’ve saved a bit of typing and just said “I don’t wanna learn”

I don’t need to go through the cicerone process to have a full understanding of flavour profiles. I also don’t need to have a full understanding of flavour profiles to know what is “good” and what is not “good” Winnipeg’s biggest problem in the brewing process is its water. It’s too hard and nobody invests the time, effort or capital into a solution, because that takes away from a brewery’s primary function - profit. The second problem is that because of our market, every brewery’s favourite adjunct into a beer is “local” - we are roughly 3-5 years behind the rest of the country in terms of process and technique. We have exactly one brewery (Kilter) with an established barrel program, we have almost zero clout outside of our own provincial border other than just networking collaborations (although this is going to be changing soon) and the breweries typically rely on “local” style branding to mask major flaws in their beers or overall lack of effort in the brewing process. There’s a reason TCB has to pay vendors for front row shelf space, there’s a reason Stone Angel shut down, there’s a reason Half Pints (gonna miss them, sad they went downhill) is up for sale. These places haven’t changed, never adapted and got lazy. I don’t need to be a cicerone to see that. Sookrams, Kilter and (sometimes) LBJ are the big three in Manitoba and it’s going to stay that way for a long time with reason. Nobody else wants to put the effort in, why bother when you can coast off local collaborations with charities, awareness causes and vendors because that’s all our market tends to care about because that’s all they’ve been taught to care about. We’re gonna see some evolution this summer / fall and I know you’re not going to believe me, but I’ll say it anyways - I’ve got quite a bit to do with it. Hopefully the change results in some positive progression moving forward, our market will be better for it. It’s going to be nice to see some Manitoba branding on beers brewed outside of this province.

I think the hazy IPAs that exist outside of Manitoba are far superior to anything we do inside this province and that *may* be part of the reason that Manitobans have a weird impression of them. Even Kilter (who I love) does a bad job of them these days. Inside Canada, the true champions of hazy IPAs are in Quebec (Messorem, Le Ketch, Bad Bones, Nano Cinco, Brewskey) or Ontario (Badlands, All My Friends) and I guess Alberta has a few top guns as well (Irrational, Polyrhythm, Establishment) but I would say overall, only Messorem/Ketch/Bad Bones can hang with the folks down south brb gonna go pour myself a beer

Codename Ghost lol what year is this fun fact: it’s more or less the same beer, same guy created the recipe for both, CNG is the original and Juicii is the improved version that’s been tweaked and refined

I genuinely believe Dru Brown may be the best QB in this league but I think outside of his receivers, his supporting cast lets him down frequently

Thank you for your support

Nice of Ballantine to be unbiased as usual

Awful stuff. This makes me sick to my stomach and hits especially different as a (new) father myself. RIP to Chase Stegall. I hope the Stegall family knows that Bomber Nation is behind them.

I like Cobb better

This is a good way to summarize how I feel. We stayed with status quo and let the rest of the league catch up.
