  1. I think the fact that CK is in Toronto and will be at Training Camp in Pinball's words "because the league says he could" is a real bad look for the Argos. If he can't play for a minimum of 9 weeks, IF he does the assigned tasks and is approved by a third party he shouldn't be around the team until he has at least begun this work. I did not get the sense from Pinball that he gets it, mostly that he's trying to toe a very fine line with the league but really is trying to protect his guys. Maybe more than ever I think he and Murphy as a minimum need to go.
  2. I didn't realize that Utah had to wait until 2025-2026 to launch their team. I am surprised it isn't this year... Further conversation on Team names and colours...
  3. This is the part that is so weird to me, a floor set for spending on this, in a league that tries to control all spending to make things "fair". I wonder if such an amount exists for the Ops groups and not just players cap.
  4. That’s a great deal. I paid almost $900 for that trip last fall for a conference.
  5. Eddie Veder performs a bit of a Gord Downie tribute during concert in Vancouver. Pearl Jam “Daughter” in Vancouver
  6. I will always appreciate Coach Bowness for all he accomplished here and the culture change that occurred under his leadership. I will not be please is Arniel is automatically anointed "The Next One", has he not been the one responsible for our abysmal PP and PK the last couple of years? I always loved the Jets 1.0 connection but he needs to win the job as the best candidate.
  7. Collectible stores seem to be common targets. Cancentral has had several incidents since their move to Milt Stegall drive.
  8. The boys will be popping off in the Deep Elum neighborhood tonight. Brossoit played the game he needed to and got a ton of support. Didn’t get to see the whole game but what I did see they looked great.
  9. I hope Brossoit knew he was starting yesterday. He is fond of a certain divey piano bar in Dallas and has been seen there way after curfew the night before games before... (Of course this was during his first tenure with the team and he seems to be more serious about his game now.)
  10. And today the world is a better place. I will never forget where I was when the freeway chase happened, in Duluth, MN and to the surprise of all the Canadians in the room there were some people cheering for him to get away. Like WTF???
  11. My 11 year old listens to more Green Day because of that game. If nothing else I call that a parenting win coming out of that crap day.
  12. I sure hope they aren't partnering with Access to supply card processing in the stadium. Access can't even provide a stable e-transfer system for their clients, can't imagine they can handle the processing from an event the magnitude of a Banjo Bowl.
  13. Just tried Bahn Mi King for the first time today and it is incredible. Of course I can't eat the bread but one of my coworkers had a sub and is raving. I had a beef salad and my mouth is drooling...
  14. West Kildonan or Seven Oaks neighbourhood. The White Top drive in. Where we grabbed supper last night is North End.
  15. I have to assume in the location that was most recently operating as Scoops. Scoops has never been the same since moving from the original location and 9 Below or what ever that place is called is just not the same either. Scoops used to be the best place in the city to get a traditional "malt" or "malted" but alas those days seem to be behind us. Have to settle for the ones from Sargent Sundae for the few months of the year that machine is dedicated to them and not other seasonal flavours. Not like I complain when it changes to Pumpkin Pie Soft Serve in the fall, possibly some of the best ice cream served in WPG that isn't Dug and Betty's. Yeah, yeah, I know what about Chaeban and Fete, I like what I like...
  16. Can’t say much on the other measures but where was the 40 run? Down the hallway of the hotel? Was there sufficient run out room at the end? Measures like that shouldn't be compared unless taken under the same conditions.
  17. There has to be some places locally you can shop. Here we have a Samsonite store in the outlet mall, UN Luggage and last I looked The Bay still stocks some. When I bought mine Samsonite online & Amazon had it on sale, I was able to see it in person at The Bay but they would not price match so I ordered online.
  18. I have a Samsonite Xenon 2 Spinner briefcase that I use when I travel to trade shows and am collecting crap all day as I walk around and it will be the last item of theirs I ever own. I have had issues with it since the first time I have used it but none of them were deemed warranty and repair/replacement was denied. I have the same Stanley Thermos and a Navy Blue coffee tumbler that is one of the best I have used but the 3 piece top is a pain to clean.
  19. Any chance you’ll look at a Gluten Free batter and dedicate a fryer to GF items? I know people that will drive all over for that. GF deep fried cheese curds is something I’ve drive to Fargo for…
  20. In on the hunt for a new EDC bag with potential for use as a personal item when travelling. Have done a bunch of reading on so e of the EDC forums on Reddit and other places and have a hard time deciding. Any thoughts? Thinking 26-28L, would like it clean lines. Laptop,iPad slots usual daily pack out, Yeti water bottle and coffee tumbler. I really like my Thule Subterra spinner carryon and am drawn to the Thule Accent 26 backpack. Thoughts? Recommendations?
  21. If the club had this documentation we wouldn't be having the conversation, no lawyer would pursue this in court after being presented and verifying the veracity of the documents. My guess there were other conditions to the settlement that were not financial they they would not agree too.
  22. They can but choose not too, probably the classiest thing Bell Media can do. If you really want to know her name, you could look it up I’m sure. Please tell me you are not blindly supporting the team based on fanship? Please be on the side of truth and support the victim, not the assholes with a checkered past.
  23. Have you ever been down Hastings/East Hastings in Vancouver/Burnaby? Makes our downtown look like the Garden of Eden and it's cleaned up from what it was 10 years ago. I do business with 3 locations along that strip and it is not uncommon for the metal roller shutters to stay closed all day while people work inside and the rear parking areas are 10ft fences with barbed wire on top. Winnipeg is in no way the worst downtown in the country and is not what keeps people from coming here. Weather, ignorance and the perception of what it is like here are what keep people away.
  24. I’m pretty sure you can buy the chips and salsa at the Red River Coop stores, Southdale or Grant Park at least I think.
