01 GC loss. I don't know if I've ever been as upset as I was after that game. 07 GC loss. We expected little going into the game because of Dinwiddie, but it still hurt so much to lose to the dirty 4 stripes. 60+ Pt loss to Esks in 96 that got Cal fired. I was only 16 and I was just gutted by that loss.

I've come to learn that Manitoba doesn't think COVID exists here unless someone brings it in from elsewhere. That run of 0 cases they had for awhile gave everyone this extreme unearned arrogance. Alberta had some spikes in cases but they're averaging 10k tests per day and the TP % stays under 2%.

Tam has been great. As good as any of the provincial CMOH...

I think everyone needs to get off the rollercoaster ride of daily numbers. It's gonna be up and down for a long time. Get over it. The T.P. % is extremely low (Dr Tam said all along that keeping it under 10% nationally is the goal) and the health system isn't in danger. Stick to the basics... Distancing, hand sanitizing and masks.... And we'll ride this out together, in time.

If TSN would put every CFL game they own online and allow you to access any game any time, I would pay whatever they want. Give me some kind of anytime online access.... Charge any number you want.

Very very excited to try some new brews the next couple weeks. We're going to take a couple days and uber around to a bunch of new breweries. We got a case of Fort Garry Dark (old reliable) for the cabin and it didn't last the first night haha. The MB Brewers Pack is next up for the next couple days....

I'm officially interested in American football... Go Arizona Bombers!

No and have never had more than one or two at a time. Less than 5 total since March I think....

Osh is such a ******* beauty. Lock that man down for life.

Dallas wins it in OT.....

Vegas are a bunch of entitled assholes for an expansion franchise......but Vancouver's fan base is garbage, so you can't cheer for them either. That series is just dog **** and you hope they'll find a way for both teams to lose. Just send Colorado to the Cup final....

lots of posts about it...... he's challenging for the back-up spot and has looked good so far.

Man, if you're gonna tell me that I'm forced to stay in MB for 14 days and not go back to AB...........twist my arm. The fishing is just starting to get good.....

my asymptomatic test result came back this morning -- negative, of course -- so I promise I'm not bringing anything with me. The wife and I are pretty hyper-vigilant about COVID protection. BRING ON MY VICTORIA BEACH CABIN!!!

https://www.si.com/hockey/news/five-potential-trade-fits-for-patrik-laine Which teams might make sense as trade partners for the Jets? Consider these five. 1. CAROLINA HURRICANES No credit to me for this idea. It’s been out there all week, floated by trustworthy insiders such as The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun and TSN’s Frank Seravalli. But no team makes more sense as partners in a Laine deal. The Canes need to balance out their scoring after relying too much on their dynamite top line of Andrei Svechnikov, Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen. They’re also, bar none, the deepest team in the NHL on defense. It would make sense to dangle one of their shutdown righty D-men, such as Brett Pesce, packaged with a prototypical No. 2 center in Vincent Trocheck. Again, not my idea, so no credit to me. That would allow Winnipeg to address its two primary needs in one deal. The Canes could fill that hole up the middle by moving emerging youngster Martin Necas back to center. Plus they could reunite Laine with his gold-medal centerman from Finland's 2016 world junior squad in Aho. 2. MONTREAL CANADIENS We know GM Marc Bergevin likes to be aggressive and treat his team as a contender even if the general public believes it’s further away than he does. He may view Montreal’s play-in series win over the Pittsburgh Penguins as a sign Montreal is ready to take another step, despite the fact it was 10 points out of a playoff spot when the “real” season paused March 12. This is the same man who was willing to go all-in on Sebastian Aho with an (admittedly far too conservative) offer sheet last off-season. It thus wouldn’t be too surprising to see Montreal make a pitch for Laine, whose swagger and quotability could make him well suited to a hockey-mad market like Montreal. The Habs have an elite farm system rising up, which should deliver defenseman Alexander Romanov to the NHL next season and goal-scorer Cole Caufield within a year, and considering they want to make a push while Carey Price and Shea Weber have good years left, it could make sense to add a big-ticket scorer to a team that has lacked one for a while. We also know Montreal has a piece to build an offer around in Max Domi, who could be an ideal second-line center for Winnipeg and was born there since his father Tie was playing for the Jets at the time. The offer would never work as a one-for-one, but the Habs have so many prospects and draft picks at their disposal that they could balance the offer out in many different ways. 3. DALLAS STARS Stars GM Jim Nill has a busy off-season ahead. He has $18.54 million in cap space but needs to re-sign three crucial RFA forwards in Denis Gurianov, Roope Hintz and Radek Faksa. The Stars made it clear with the Joe Pavelski and Corey Perry signings last off-season that they’re a win-now operation, going for it since the likes of Ben Bishop, Jamie Benn and Alexander Radulov have reached their 30s. They badly need some high-end scoring, and bringing in someone with youth and upside to boot would address Dallas’ biggest need while also yanking down the average age of the forward group. Laine could fit comfortably into Dallas’ dressing room, too, considering it’s extremely Finn-friendly, including Hintz and blueliners Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell. Could a trade built around Laine for right-handed defenseman John Klingberg work? As is the case with Montreal, Dallas would likely have to kick in another piece. 4. CALGARY FLAMES The Flames were a potent offensive club in 2018-19, but the scoring dried up this past season and didn’t improve under new coach Geoff Ward. They’re deep on the left wing with Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett, but there’s a big dropoff on the right side after Elias Lindholm. Laine could jumpstart Calgary’s offense. The question is who Calgary would have to move to land him and make the money work with Laine’s $6.75-million cap hit. Is it time to move on from center Sean Monahan or consider dealing two-way pivot Mikael Backlund? Monahan has a modified no-trade clause kicking in for 2020-21, so the time to act is now. Backlund has a no-trade clause with a list of 10 teams to which he’d accept a deal. 5. NEW JERSEY DEVILS The Devils can fit almost any big-name star under their salary cap right now. Dependable right winger Kyle Palmieri enters the final season of his deal and is a decent candidate to get moved as a rental next winter if the Devils aren’t contenders, so New Jersey could use some goal-scoring help in the long term, a finisher to play with Jack Hughes. If you’re the Jets, however, do you ask for Nico Hischier as a return? He’s exactly the type of player they need, and he’s signed for seven more seasons at a cap hit just $500,000 more than Laine’s current AAV. Other potential suitors to watch: Edmonton Oilers, Colorado Avalanche, Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks

I don't think they NEED to, but I'm not against trading Laine if they get enough return for him. I want nothing less than a stud D in return...

Can't remember if I posted this or not, but I don't think I've ever watched an entire NFL game, front to back......but damn it if Strev isn't going to make me a AZ Cards fan yet....

I have a friend that I used to work with in Dauphin, but is from SW Sask.... he and his buddies were season ticket holders in high school during what he called "The Al Foord Years", and said it's just about the darkest time in Riders history. I always had a modicum of respect for the guys that stuck it out during those years until Shivers and Barrett came along and gave them at least something respectable. Having said that, all those guys became real mouthy assholes after 2007, so they can go **** themselves with a rusty fork...

Not sure if anyone has been following along, but Tait's been doing a great series of "Labour Day Memories" on www.BlueBombers.com this week. All Bombers wins, of course...today's was a fun one from 1987 when Tom Clements rallied the team with 2 TDs in about 2 minutes to win the game.

for those that remember "Blue Fan" Brent Shule from back in the OB.com days........

Kendial Lawrence indeed..... I always remember it as Demski knifing his home town but clearly a different year. https://www.cfl.ca/2016/09/04/recap-winnipeg-28-saskatchewan-25/

Hmmmmm. I coulda sworn it was Demski but I'll see if I can track down the CFL highlight pack....

Random thought, but I'm loving the resurrection of Hutchinson in Colorado. I dunno how long it's gonna last but good for him. There was a time I thought he was gonna be a long term answer for the Jets....

Not online, but I have it on DVD.....

that's a God-awful video, but fitting for that dump of place. What a win....I remember Demski returning the kick late and going "well, here's Labour Day for you......" and then we pull it out of the fire with a Meddy walk-off.....unreal. What a game.
