**** sakes... The fact that Braley forced himself into the Commissioner role (officially - not just pulling the strings) is incredible...... What a league. What a history.

It's exactly what Suitor said and nobody's ever denied it. It didn't sound bad. It sounded like a guy who couldn't believe what he was seeing. He wasn't cheering one way or another... Just honestly couldn't believe it.

They were so concerned about taking a PI on the play they completely forgot about tackling...

Ya I was gonna say earlier that 8f anyone waited because of potential AZ side effects, they weren't right.... They were dumb. Far FAR greater risk of getting covid than from any potential side effect. Anyone who didnt drop everything and do everything in their power to get the first vaccine available to them is just really really dumb.

I think you need a federally mandated situation whereby you're not allowed in public if you haven't had the shot. No stores, no restaurants....nothing indoors besides your own home. That is what sends the message.

I disagree. People shouldn't have the right to choose to put others in danger. Kids can't get vaccinated and there are people with legitimate health conditions that prevent vaccination. Nobody has the right to choose to put them at risk. Vaccines should absolutely be mandatory.

I was hosting a Morning Show at that time, and had gone to bed at half time (ugh to early morning alarms). I was driving to work and the news cast talked about the Bombers winning, and what the final score was, and that was it. When I got to work, my News Director at the time was just going berserk. He'd grabbed the clip of Irving's call (we were an affiliate on the Bombers Radio Network at the time) and was using it as the lead for that day's sports all day. I couldn't believe I'd missed it. Friggin' morning shows.....

"written by CFL.ca staff" = this is such a heaping turd that nobody would take credit for it...

Isn't Crapigna ******* awful? That's my memory of him, anyhow...... is he really the guy you want mentoring the kid?

Used to be Chuck's...

Wouldn't have even been West MOP if our local scribes hadn't played God and ****** over Harris at the local level.

I'm sofa king pumped for Clerks 3. Clerks 2 is absolutely fantastic, despite what the haters say...

If you're not checking out Bauming's "Bonfire Sports", that's likely your best bet for TC updates. He's got the most in depth stuff, tho Our Man Tait has been doing a solid job lately in his 5 Points pieces...

Don't sleep on Showtime 'Sheed! Work ethic and passion for days....super under-the-radar guy...

faaaaaaaaaaaack that is brutal about Maston. What is it with achilles injuries??? Maston was a good one...such a shame.

I can tell ya for a fact that sales of recreational toys like camper trailers and boats have gone through the roof. 2021 boats sold out in the spring and they've been booking 2022s for awhile now. Everyone couldn't travel so they bought toys.

My wife is deathly afraid of being house poor, which is a big part of why we decided to stay in our first house and not upgrade to something fancier. I was convinced by the idea of paying it off by the time I'm 50 and then spend my last 10 or 15 good working years paying for a retirement place. Holy **** we got off topic in this thread.......ha ha ha. If anyone ever wanted to start a real estate thread over in Gen Forum and transfer all this stuff, I'd gladly keep that ball rolling. I am mildly obsessed with Manitoba real estate listings..

it's WILD......again, I live on Realtor.ca and follow the MB housing market very closely. I love that area around Oak Bluff, and my sister's down in Lorette, so I follow the various French-Catholic communities south of the city closely......the prices are insane. I can't figure out how people are paying for it...unless everyone just has multiple jobs. Never mind both parents working...you need both parents working two jobs each.

https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/07/16/quick-hits-tc-july-16-2021/ some good stuff, as always, from Our Man Tait....and just a quick teaser for you: 1. MORE MUSCLE?!?!: It’s in Jonathan Kongbo’s DNA to work hard. As evidence you may recall that back in his days at the University of Tennessee he won the 2018 John Stucky award as Volunteers’ best performer in the weight room. And so when the Blue Bombers defensive end arrived in Winnipeg in 2019 as a first-round draft pick he was already carved in stone at 6-5, 255 pounds. Now back with the club after spending the summer of 2020 in the training camp of the San Francisco 49ers and a short stint this year in The Spring League, Kongbo has added another 15 pounds to his already-chiselled frame.

I just can't figure out how people in MB are affording it, based on the going salary rates. Unless they're just constantly on a 25 year amortization or something....? It's nuts. Unless you're a "professional" (lawyer, doctor, teacher, tradesman...) I have no idea how you afford to live in a newer home in MB....

....if you're unvaccinated.....

Nope...comparable house (age, sq ft, etc) still cheaper in Calgary than Winnipeg, or at least very close. I live on Realtor.ca and am just blown away because everyone in AB makes so much more money than the person doing a comparable job in MB. I can not understand it. It seems to have happened around 2010ish...housing prices in Wpg skyrocketed without a corresponding raise in pay...

It is INSANE what's happened to the housing market in Manitoba over the last decade, without the salaries to go with it.....
