that seems like a really underwhelming return for Copp....

thinking there's a lot more equipment cost in football, which is where the extra expense comes from.....but still.....if you want kids to play, you have to find a way to be competitive with other stuff. That said, $245 doesn't seem like that much to me, and seems WAYYYYYYY cheaper than hockey, which I can't understand how parents pay for that every year...

Brad Gushue whined about something? The HELL you say!! Acting like a giant puss since 2001....that's the Gushue I know.

^^ As per Kevin Martin's Sportsnet piece that I shared last week......The Old Bear has the scoops!

4th rounder going the other way, as per Twitter...

The only thing in here I'll agree with is bring back Fantaseh. That was amazing and I want it back. I hate the TSN weekly roster thing. Lame. Give me a full season team that we draft in May. The fantasy draft with buddies over some drinks is most of the fun... Always a great time.

I had an NHL VHS board game. You had to play a highlight clip and depending on what happened in the clip, it determined how you moved on the board... It was awesome when I was like 10. Ha ha.

Thought it wss at least half an hour too long (minimum) but the first hour-hour and a half, was one of my favourite Batman movies ever. The casting was near perfect.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed Canadian lineman Ben Koczwara and American defensive back Corey Straughter, it was announced Friday. Kocwara was selected No. 67 overall by the Bombers in the 2018 CFL Draft and spent time with the Toronto Argonauts during the 2021 season. He previously played four seasons at the University of Waterloo. The 21-year-old Straughter went undrafted following three seasons at Louisiana-Monroe. He signed as a free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year but was released at the end of August. He led the Sun Belt Conference with five interceptions and 15 passes defenced in 2019.

Anybody see the new Batman? Thoughts?

People who participate in "Freedom" rallies....

https://www.sportsnet.ca/curling/article/bottcher-koe-highlight-curling-team-lineups-starting-to-take-shape-for-next-season/ I am officially BONKERS EXCITED (!!!) ........ the best men's curler that Manitoba has produced in about 20 years is coming home (as I publicly begged him to do on Twitter...ha ha) to put together a legit contender!! BJ is one of, if not THE best 3rds in the world, and Colton Lott is almost an embarrassment of wealth to have at 2nd. I'm not huge on either of the Harndens, but if he shuts his mouth and just sweeps, it'll be an insanely talented team. This is the first real contender we've had since about 2010 when the McEwen rink was the best team in the world and just couldn't break through the playdowns.... Team Dunstone (Manitoba) • New lineup: Matt Dunstone, B.J. Neufeld, Colton Lott, Ryan Harnden Dunstone will skip out of his birth province again after playing in Saskatchewan during the previous cycle. He reunites with Lott, who captured Canadian junior and world junior bronze medals with Dunstone in 2013 and 2016. The pair also played together during the Olympic trials as Lott subbed for Moskowy. Neufeld will also play out of Manitoba again after spending the last four years with Koe. Harnden, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., comes over from Team Jacobs and can serve as their important.

all this talk about improving the offense....Ambrosie said he wants to see 49-49 games be a regular thing.........really? Do people not like seeing good defense? I love seeing great coverage by DBs...I love seeing a great pass rush from the line. I love seeing a great blitz from the LB corps. All this changing to make it easier on the O seems really artificial and dumb.

I read some quotes last fall about how both sides were actually really looking forward to getting together, and the PA pres (Solly?) was saying that he was really excited about working with the owners because they were on the same page. So I really think this is going to be a bunch of handshakes and paper signing....not contentious at all.

TSN talking heads aside, I'm happy to hear what they're saying here. That should be good news. If people like Wade Miller and John Hufnagel are talking about changes, I'm a little more okay with that.

No Commish runs any league...they're just a figure-head for the BoG. If we want real change (or to PREVENT real change) we need to take it up with Wade, or in SF27's case, whoever the hell is Calgary's rep on the BoG. I have no doubts in my mind that Wade is on the same side as most fans...I'd be shocked if he wasn't fighting the good fight from the inside. It's the Toronto's and Montreal's of the world that want to see NFL-Lite.

Bacon cheeseburger and fries with a Fort Garry Dark and a ride to the East Final from Fionn McCool's for $15 bucks is just about the best money I've ever spent in my life. It took forever and a dog's age to GET to the game, and we just barely made it for kickoff......but all in all, that's a good $15.

we get it, Al....trust me.....we all get it. But your constant harping is just really annoying man...... trust me, we all get it.

No surprise, but add Team Bottcher to the list...all going separate ways this summer.

is that right? Because Dawn is "retiring" (for now), so there'd only be Kaitlyn, and Jocelyn, if she'd stay in MB, but the rumours I'd heard were that she was going to curl out of Alberta next year (as would her fiance Brett Gallant) but I haven't seen anything for sure yet...

Very interesting....an up and coming team just got better:

*edit* My apologies, I misread the original post.....sorry GCn20, I thought you were asking the dumb question of why they want to improve their OL (which is trash) and this makes way more sense now.....
