"proposed" merger at this point, I believe.... it's apparently caught up in all kinds of snags. Still expecting to have some kind of season in 2024, but right now it's a **** ton of paperwork, apparently.

it's extremely well known that Jake is a real estate agent in the maritimes...... he's got plenty of post-CFL work. Friend of mine was at an event last night where he was the guest speaker... he's quite famous/popular out that way. Could definitely see him hanging 'em up..... possibly Miller and Benson, as well. Lots of guys nearing 40...

couple of things... -I think it's getting harder and harder to convince players to come north... they're going to wait for NFL PR spots or maybe even the USFL/XFL league.... so it's tougher finding new talent to bring in -Matthew Schiltz is a poor man's Dakota Prukop......and I don't particularly care for Dakota Prukop.

it took way too many posts for someone to say this... Jesus Christ almighty......

The Sinbad/Shazam thing has been going around for at least 10 years... maybe longer. I think I first saw something online about it in the late 00s....

had a complicated history within the Winnipeg music scene. He just wasn't cut out for life on the road, though they tried a couple times. Originally a Guess Who member (there was short overlap with both he and Burt in the band together) and he did sing leads on their first national single, a cover of "Shakin' All Over". He eventually quit because life on the road just wasn't for him... stayed around Winnipeg teaching music instead. Later, when Randy was regrouping after leaving TGW, and was working on early versions of BTO (Brave Belt, etc) Chad was one of the first to come on board with him... but unfortunately that didn't last either. Regardless, you talk to anyone who was a part of the scene back then (certainly not me... this is a good 15-20 years before I was born, but I've read all the books...) and he was as talented as anyone going at that time. Winnipeg was just a HOT BED of musical talent back in those days...

Grey Cup MVP Cody Fajardo!! First ballot Hall Of Famer!!

Please dear God do not let Matthew Schiltz ever be a Bomber.....

Q Country Brandon CKDM Dauphin (mix of Country/Classic Rock)

this is a very famous thing people talk about online. Everyone claims to remember it, but it never happened. There's a name for the phenomenon (escapes me now) but I swear it comes up once a week online.

Lol at Losers trolls rolling up here all cocky now because "all their troubles are over!!" now...... hilariums. I can't wait for next summer when nothing has changed and they're getting routinely spanked and fans continue to stay away from the toilet bowl in droves....

Darren Bauming doesn't work for the Bombers... not sure he'd be able to help.

well that's intriguing... nobody can compete with QX. Companies have tried and failed over and over again. Winnipeg just isn't that much of a Country music city to have that many country stations. The NCI/APTN folks are desperately trying with Now 104 and NCI, but the ratings are dismal. Not sure how Corus figures another Country station is a good idea..... unless they're planning on syndicating most of it with out of province voices to keep the costs way down so the ratings don't matter....?? Curious decision anyhow...

Gotta find a way to score... Especially on a goalie like Skinner, who is not particularly good.

never forget that the last go 'round they had to bump up their STC because literally nobody wanted the job, and then last year when they needed a new OC, literally nobody wanted the job.... EVERYONE turned them down..... except the local guy who just really wanted a job in pro ball. Can't be stated enough.... NOBODY wants to be in The Gap...

nah, his bluntness would have been refreshing and confident... I have no problem with that. But I'm sure JOD was shocked that anyone outright said they wanted to be there.... other than that OC Kelly Jeffrey, who was just excited to have a job in pro football....

those numbers are trending in very opposite directions, is all I'm saying....

honestly, that argument isn't holding much water either these days....

it is EXACTLY what we knew happened.........haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! I ******* love this so much. Once again, the Riders were left with their pants down and had to double back and beg forgiveness on the guy they told "no thanks..." Incredible. I ******* LOVE Coach Buck so much... it's a bucket list item for me to get out ice fishing with him on LW one day. He's a diehard...

Jesus.... Buck *JUST* turned 42, too..... I sincerely thought he was older than that. Feels like he's been away from playing and into coaching for so long....

I'm definitely not saying you're wrong, but nobody forced Osh to come to Winnipeg.... you COULD argue (as we've just done with the Buck situation) that Osh was interviewing them as much as they interviewed him.... and he was a hot commodity....seen as one of the hottest up and coming HC prospects........ so I think it was likely both. He chose Wade and Kyle because he knew they believed in the same things as him.....and vice versa. At any rate, all three of them believe the same things and make decisions as a group. I truly do believe that.

between the management contracts and now this.... I'll take any little thing to help me move forward. Ha ha.
