I'm convinced Diesel is just trying to keep this going until the technology is there to resurrect the dead. They can "Captain America" over Cody Walker, but it's the dialogue that they'll need help with. But make no mistake.... Diesel wants to do it.

Who exactly is Jeremy Murphy going to unseat on this offense, barring injury (knocks on wood).....??? BOO is still well ahead of him as well. Murphy should be damn happy to be on the PR and learn for awhile. And in an offense that has the best QB in the league, the 2 best receivers in the league, the best OL in the league..... And a more than competent RB...... We need a weapon???

when your team is this good, and there are very few battles, and camp is mostly just a place to see what kind of back-ups you have in stock........ it doesn't necessarily make for the most exciting TC ever. But it's a good ******* problem to have.

So.... I saw Fast X. Sigh. Here's the thing.... Generally speaking, I am a big fan of this franchise. My wife LOVES these movies... I will go to bat for Fast 4-6 as among my favourite action movies. 7 was the last DECENT one (relatively, to the rest of the franchise) and they just started getting epic-ly stupid. Fast 9 is one of the worst big-budget, tent pole films I have ever been witness to. I felt sad for everyone involved. So anyhow, I'd read the reviews for Fast X and just how truly awful it was..... And here's what I'll say: It's dumb.... You have to go beyond shutting off your brain. The list of things that make ZERO sense is a mile long. Having SAID THAT..... I have spent far worse time in a movie theatre. It's definitely a step up from 9, a bit of a return to "form" for the franchise. Jason Mamoa is having more fun in this movie than I've seen anyone have in a long time. There will be some weird comparisons made to Ledger's Joker, that Mamoa is going for the same vibe but doesn't have the pure evil gravitas that Ledger brought to his villain.... But I don't think that's a fair comparison. I feel like Diesel really learned something from his MCU work and is going for an Infinity Saga thing to wrap this series of movies. X was his Infinity War and the next one will be his Endgame. So I guess short story long, if you have enjoyed these movies in the past.... And you're willing to just "shut the brain off" for 2 hours, it's not the worst summer blockbuster. It's absolutely a step up from 9.

Who was crying about it?

Ooooof that really sucks. I wonder if we just couldn't afford him or what. Curious how close to his level of play Anthony Bennett can be...

Leggett was angry when he left the Bombers, went on Rod Pedersen's stupid podcast and bad-mouthed the Bombers... Said something about how the locker room was bad... It was all sour grapes. This woulda been 2019 I think...

Yes, they're writers.... Not football scouts. They don't necessarily know more than we do. And in some cases (we have Booch, JBR, etc that are experts or at least semi experts) they know less. They're writers/reporters... Just doing a job.

As mentioned, the average person has no clue about what's going on, on the field during TC. The only ones who know are the coaches and they're not going to say anything to tip their hand. Every quote from Osh in the daily pressers when asked about individual guys is "he's awesome" (basically)... So you're not going to get much until we see a PS game and even then... Maybe not til final cuts are made.

Be sure to hit up The Forks... Just to say you did. Pre game pints at Stone Angel, where you can park and walk to the game.

I was just coming here to post that...... ha ha. Apparently Trevor Harris said the same thing in The Gap...that they might have 3 or 4 guys hit 1000 yards. Best of luck with all that fellas.........

it was Ricky Williams that I was thinking of. I remember being at the game they played in Wpg (my first year as a STH) and sitting in our endzone seats and watching Doug Brown hit him so incredibly hard. I remember quotes from Brown before that game talking about how much he was looking forward to playing RW.... we definitely put a hurt on him. Williams had some quote, at the time, about how he'd likely be able to put up 5k yards in a season up here....

Yeah, there's no way to know that's true....about the uptick. We re-upped in '20 at (I think??) 3.49...... if prime has leveled off now, and is going to start coming down in the final quarter of this year, by '25, things should be sliding back to where they were before, unless you think it's going to be a non-linear situation, and there will be hikes and drops over that time...

it's very un-Canadian...... just shut up and let your play speak for you.

re: books into movies...... Grisham's The Rainmaker still makes me angry. Maybe my favourite of his tombs, and the movie was just awful in comparison. They changed so much of the dialogue, gave lines that one person said to another person entirely.....changed the tone...... so many things. Man I was really frustrated because I so badly wanted it to be good. Damon, Devito, Glover and more......sigh.

how do they figure they know the interest rates are going to spike 3 years from now?? Everything I've heard/read/seen, says that they're going to start coming back down in the final quarter of '23.....

Who was that ******* NFL RB who got busted for pot so the CFL let him play up here for a season and he had a huge target on his back. He said he could run for 5k in a season and he didn't do **** because he was old and washed up at that point and every team just keyed on him heavy......

I'm thinking it's related to the '25 GC, but who knows. Televising the preseason games would be a painfully on brand "big news!!11!". Don't get me excited for nothing, Bauming.....

I think *if* the SEAL is going to be anything, it'll be a ST demon, for sure.

ehhhhhhhhhh....

I'm not saying someone can't get better (I think we're all hoping Evan Holm does, if for no other reason than to watch poor Booch...ha ha) but absolutely nothing about Corny's game makes me think he's smart enough to read a defense or hit the broad side of a barn with a shovel full of peas....

I'm intrigued by this and will dive deeper. Bill's "Stories From The Road" is absolutely fabulous, filled with great features he wrote for the FreeP about rural Manitoba (my favourite subject!)
