  1. case in point, Joe Mack could scout the **** out of players.
  2. Winnipeg wins another one before hosting again. Take it to the bank.
  3. If he wants to be both HC and GM I'd give the man a blank cheque and tell him to write in a number that would get him here. I like O'Shea but if you can get arguably the top guy in the CFL you do it.
  4. He can be on any kind of mission he wants, Burris flat out sucks in the cold. The only time he got a Grey Cup win was in a dome and remember his last foray into an out doors grey cup game? He got his ass handed to him cause it was cold out. I personally want -40 and a ******* blizzard of epic proportions on Sunday because his tears will sustain me throughout the offseason. As someone who will be there... I do not endorse this sentiment... Hey I'll be there too, you can dress for the weather and I would gladly sit through a **** storm if it makes Burris look like an *******.
  5. Congratulations, you completely misunderstood what the poor track record that people were referencing. It wasn't the wins and losses that scared people away from Winnipeg, it was the fact that coaches were fired in Winnipeg like it was going out of style. Go to Winnipeg have your career damaged to the point where you end up having to work on TSN.
  6. I believe it was Mack who is responsible for bringing Crowton here. No it's well documented that it was Lapo who brought Crowton here. The only people who blamed it on Mack were the ones who would blame ISIS on Mack if they could find a tenuous thread to do it with.

  8. Don't worry, if the weather gets cold we can get treated to a Burris choke job and watching him point fingers at everyone but himself will be worth the price of admission. He perfected that in Calgary.
  9. We have fired Lapolice twice already for not being good enough let's not go for the hat trick.
  10. Well as long as he doesn't get hurt between now and then
  11. meh we shall see what happens with Ottawa next season if the rest of the league doesn't have their quarterbacks all get hurt while Ottawa stays freakishly healthy.
  12. people looking to maximize profits simple as that. If you can get away with raising prices a profit driven group will do it. What we've likely seen here is the league seeing what the cap on ticket prices that people will pay is.
  13. Likely just a case of the Grey Cup game finding it's limit for what people can charge. Priced too high so tickets weren't moving, had to drop the prices to get asses in the seats. It's probably a good thing long term as it should keep the prices from going up crazy amounts every year
  14. The hate for Ottawa is simple... Burris is the tooliest tool that ever tooled. Without question my absolute most hated person in the CFL of all time. I want bad things to happen to him. He's such a ******* phony and it pisses me off.
  15. ESBs are probably my favorite after a good IPA. Really good stuff. I had the Phillips Coast to Coastless ESB recently, that was really good. Might be tough to find now though, same with their Super Cooper ESB - I think there's one left in the LC at Sage Creek (in the fridge by the checkout) Need to track down some more ESBs.
  16. It's funny, I went back looking through some 2013 depth charts and most of the players from that awful team are still kicking around the league somewhere, in many cases on teams far better than the Bombers. Good enough for the rest of the league but not for Winnipeg. I guess when your QB lineup is Pierce, Hall, Goltz, things don't go so well. Coaching matters. Joe Mack could find talent, he couldn't hire a coach that could get the most out of that talent though.
  17. That actually looks funnier then I thought it would be. I am not a big Kevin Hart fan but I'll give The Rock a chance in most things, guy just seems so likeable.
  18. The thing is on the first Star Wars movies George Lucas wasn't a guy who had carte blanche, he was told no and had a lot of outside input for Star Wars, I don't believe he directed Empire or Jedi either... but by the time the prequels came around Star Wars was this huge thing and George Lucas was above reproach and no one stopped him and said "I dunno about that George..." and the results were the prequel movies. Guy to me seems like a big idea person but in terms of crafting a quality movie not so much.
  19. Can be said about any defensive back in the league. There isn't one DB in the league who never gets beat, especially with the wonky PI rules. DB is very much a position where you win some and you lose some and Washington is a damned good player. Hes "a damned good player" the same way that we move on from johnson not too long ago. this season he was bad. Real bad. Liability bad. Can he bounce back? Maybe. Can we find a bigger, better DB? Probably. I agree. I've been a washington fan. But this year he was out classed a lot unfortunately. I hope we resign him but bring in a lot of competition to TC for that spot. Which one of our DBs didn't get beaten badly at times? Even Johnny Adams who everyone is raving about this year had some games where he got beaten and outclassed. I think the biggest thing holding back the secondary was the lack of a pass rush from anyone not named Westerman.
  20. Don't worry I got ideas that can please anyone. Safe to assume that someone who likes IPAs likes the hoppiness, well there's a wide range of beers with a varying level of hops.
  21. Shopping trip to the beer store? **** yes! Bring some of that Arrogant Bastard if it hit the shelves yet. That's actually out of some place in the states, I just happened to find it in one liquor store randomly. There's some decent offerings from local stuff here that I think would be the way to go. They're small enough at this moment that they won't have much distribution outside of Alberta or even Calgary yet that are a worthwhile try. The debate would be whether to bring IPAs and other hoppy things or go for a wider variety.
  22. I don't know if I should be offended or not....
  23. Shopping trip to the beer store? **** yes!
  24. Last Best is the Banff/Jasper Brew Co, and they just opened up a shop in YYC, I believe. They do have some decent stuff... If you're ever out in Banff, go to the Banff Brew Co brew-pub and try their sampler... Or just order the cream ale, it's ******* amazing.
