as with everything in life, it's all about who you know....

easily one of the best episodes of the series.... so many incredible moments. Absolutely terrifying speeches by Connor and Menken..... Roman going full Nazi. Some absolute classic Tom/Greg moments... man what an ep. Can't believe they're going to somehow wrap this all up in only 2 more eps!!!!!

I'm sure it's not coincidence but interesting that it was almost exactly this time in 2011 that the same thing was happening in Phoenix and rumours about the team being transferred back to Winnipeg were happening. I remember being at a slopitch game when the Stephen Brunt article dropped and things just exploded...

I mean, it's all you're going to get, so whatever...it's something. There will ALWAYS be a shroud of secrecy with an Osh team. He wants as much stuff as possible kept in house and protect the players privacy. It is what it is.

details on Bighill and Grant not practicing yet........

according to Ryan Jespersen, Edmonton media personality..... the word on the street is that UCP door-knockers are pleading with supporters to stick with the party, implying that Smith will be punted shortly after the election. If TBA is still pulling the strings for the UCP, that would mean someone AS crazy or even MORE......would be instituted after Smith got turfed. Terrifying and smacks of desperation on the part of the UCP....

the great ones never get complacent....

Yeah, this is the one that came out Saturday that we talked about already.... but the lady who reported today is shockingly accurate in the last few elections. It's bad news, without question, but all we can do is pray that Calgary smartens up. One thing I can say for a fact, I'm seeing WAY more NDP lawn signs in both Calgary and Rural than I can remember seeing. Not sure it correlates, but it's interesting...

but it's also Don Braid quoting a pollstar who has been remarkably accurate in recent elections. This is bad news any way you slice it. God, I hate this province and the rednecks within....

Osh being who Osh is...... I can't imagine he's gonna want to pull reps away from actual Canadians anytime soon.

Agreed that absolutely nobody knows so whatever... They'll figure it out as they go. It's absolutely bush league, but let's be positive and call it "quirky", as the CFL has been known to be...

imagine coming to the Bombers fan board and bending over backwards to defend the ******* Stumps........Jesus Christ.

I was waiting to read all the new posts in this thread before I posted this exact thing... he's a Player/Coach now. I'm sure at some point they'll need to get him some reps, just to get into the swing of things.... but it's likely more important to evaluate the new guys at this point.

Ever since his shoulder went to ****, Bo hasn't looked like he's got the same confidence and craters when pressured. There are many examples but the 2019 WF stands out brightly....

The last 3 seasons.

Janarion Grant.... The best KR the league has seen in years.... Is gonna be a surprise cut. Good gravy.... That's quite the Stephen A Smith "Hottest Take", right there...

Meh....

me three

the Stove may be done for good....

without having all the information, I just wonder if there's reasons for what you're all complaining about. I'm not saying you're all wrong, I'm just wondering aloud if you don't have all the information.

I truly want to believe there's more to this than we, as fans, know. I want to believe there's ignorance in the complaints. But without being on the inside, I just don't know....

couple of good things this morning..first, federally: then over in Alberta, where the first polling since the election officially began has now been delivered, and has the NDP up by about 10 points. Undecideds are going Orange, and (as Gerry Butts put it) many are "quiet quitting" the UCP:

I've been thinking about the media coverage complaints all evening.... I have a lot of thoughts because I do this work, on a slightly smaller scale..... And have thoughts on what I would do, in that role. It's pretty basic on how you could use social media to improve the coverage, but...... I'm wondering if the team is limiting what's allowed to be shared. Would that ever be a thing? Like the team saying to the media "we don't want you talking about X, Y, Z..." I'm not sure. Maybe different rules that I'm not aware of. But if it's free game to talk about whatever.... I can think of a number of things, including lots of FB Live vids throughout the session.
