yikes...not sure where my head is at and don't even know who Geno Smith is......can't believe it took this long for someone to catch it. Ha.

What I know of the situation (Western Canadian radio is a small world and everyone knows everyone, to a degree), he is a RABID Riders fan who's wanted the PBP gig for a very very long time. I think he's legit in his beliefs, for what that's worth.

but that's the point, really, isn't it? The only way you can REALLY be the PBP vox in Sask is to be off the deep end like this...

Some fun stuff going on here......

We don't win the GC of not for him....

Quite the interesting situation if both Lewis and Lawler are available in FA... you can't really go too far wrong with either.

Geno Lewis apparently not happy with the Als and is going to the highest bidder....

Love it. Really hoping she and the UCP get torched in May....

Kind of all over Alberta.... some of it was shot down here, south of Red Deer. They shut down part of our "Uptowne" area for a couple weeks. Andrew Garfield's "Under The Banner Of Heaven" also shot here, along with some of the Paul Rudd "Ghostbusters" movie from a few years back. AB gets a lot of movie/TV work, due to sizeable tax breaks...

100% to all of this. I used to watch this Cobie Smulders show "Stumptown" that Tantoo Cardinal was on and she was great...I know she can act.....but in this, it's almost embarrassing. And yes, every one of the actors being Canadian....not to **** on Canadian arts too much, but.........I swear all the other actors have only ever been in Tim Horton's commercials or Hallmark/W Network movies...

I just feel like Molina is the only good thing about it. The rest of the actors are sub-par and the writing isn't exactly top of the line. But yes, rural Quebec looks gorgeous...

my wife's first comment "it's Doc Oc!!"

bye bye Suberman.... also: Not a good look.......

so a couple newer things I've watched lately, that I was going to report back on........ 1) 3 Pines (Amazon Original) starring Alfred Molina as an inexplicably French-Canadian provincial police homicide inspector. This show is basically Alfred Molina (who is awesome in anything) and a bunch of people who I think their previous experience was Canadian Tire and Tim Horton's commercials. It's about a half step from being a Hallmark-type show. Basically, there's 8 episodes covering 4 different murders (each "case" is 2 hour long episodes) and they all take place in rural Quebec. I've watched 6 of the 8 episodes and it's interesting, but not particularly well done in any aspect, aside from Molina, who's clearly the only quality actor in the show. 2) The new Night Court starring Melissa Rauch as the late Harry Anderson's daughter and John Laroquette reprising his Dan Fielding character. I remember enjoying the original back in its day, and I had high hopes for this. I can't even begin to tell you how painful it was to get through the pilot. It was SOOOOO bad. The laugh track was painful, the writing was painful..... I just can't imagine that this gets picked up beyond its initial run.

#IsItJuneYet

who knows if maybe a team signs him up after the Super Bowl is done....?? There's still time for something to happen, and regardless of contract, the Bombers would do the right thing by him and let him go. But......we'll see. I would imagine they'll want some kind of an idea before Feb 14, so they can know what kind of money they're working with in 2023. Whether or not Schoen is back will directly impact if they go in on Lawler.

The biggest thing for me this morning is that I ******* love the anthill being kicked and we're nowhere near it. Lovely place to be. As far as the salary, while 500k isn't necessarily a lot for a good QB, I personally don't think Bo is a good QB anymore. He had pretty much everything you could ask for in Cgy and still looked done. His arm hasn't been the same since it got hurt in 2018/2019, and I just can't imagine it's going to miraculously be back to what it was pre-injury just because he's in Hamilton, which is arguably (inarguably??) a much worse team than Calgary was last year. At any rate, **** the Riders...... going to enjoy the hard "WE WANTED DANE ALL ALONG!!!" spin coming soon...

that is encouraging news...I didn't realize there was a closing date. Thought he could keep waiting for camp invites right up until next summer. Here's hoping no news is good news!

if there had been any scrap of info, it would have been posted here....all quiet on the Schoen front....

*shrugs* maybe?? I can't imagine a man that size trying to swim...

that was a good chat, the SB66 one..... some fun audio. Paddy's was fun, too. Says he's an elite level swimmer...I don't particularly want to even imagine that.

The other thing is, it's easier for a quality, winning franchise (us) to poach a top quality Tackle in FA if need be...

Fwiw, someone told me yesterday that the reason teams didn't pick him up off waivers was because of the contract....? If they'd picked him up off waivers, he'd have to be paid his NHL $$ but if they get him from the Moose then it's cheaper....?? AHL $$ or some such.... I don't know enough to know enough but that's one of my hockey nerd buddies talking...
