We joked that the Bombers finally winning a Grey Cup would signal the end of the world.... Imagine if we won the last ever Grey Cup. Christ sakes. I don't know if I can handle a life without the Bombers and the CFL....

Bob Irving said if they miss a second season, the league would likely fold altogether. I can't even wrap my head around that. But...I also believe that because of B117 and a WAY too premature "relaxing" of restrictions, we're going to see a massive 3rd wave of COVID that is going to make things extremely difficult come late spring/early summer. So, while we all want some football this year, I'm worried about how it'll be possible. Could there be a shortened season starting after Labour Day? Is that even possible? Virtually everyone will be vaccinated and hopefully numbers at a manageable rate by that point........?

😭😭😭

Good news this way cometh.......

Soooooo..... just straight up bragging about over-spending with no consequences....interesting.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected from the promos. Wife and I are the same...really into BBT and YS, so we wanted to give this a run, but the promos just looked so terrible...I didn't hold out hope.

Right? Like Tyrell Sutton?? We have an NI RB.... you can't have an IMP back-up.....cripes. And you've already got Johnny August and Brady O waiting in the wings....

Have that emblazoned below the bleachers, like we have "Home Of The CFL's Loudest Fans"...... have that quote painted in a similar manner.......

I don't really want any part of Loffler's injury history....Muamba, I don't want any part of his attitude..... I think we're mostly set with what we have right now.

honestly, how many times does this have to be explained? Jesus...

still time...if he comes back to the CFL, it'll be here. Booch says it, so take it to the bank.

I love me some Petey, but it's insane to think he was going to replace anyone on our roster, with the way it was built. There were limited touches anyhow, because this offense will always work through Andrew Harris as long as he's healthy and playing. But there's no way you take out Demski or Woogie for Petey...and I say that as a big fan of his.

Can't even describe how badly I want there to be a fully normal training camp this year to talk about..........man oh man.

that's a harsher spin than necessary......the alternate title of the song is "Time Of My Life" and is the song played at virtually every HS Grad in 1998....along with the final episode of Seinfeld. It's meant as a wistful "I had a great time..." song.......not a "Good Riddance" song. Look, what Bell did is awful, and there's no way around that. But the song choice is being spun the wrong way.

/Demski with Harris in the backfield...

Interesting bit in Mike McIntyre's article about the TSN Radio shutdown: https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/bells-abrupt-shutdown-of-1290-a-disgrace-573762452.html?fbclid=IwAR13UobdQ5rteNfnpdTI_LaxCuI4Vqb7mm5q_YY42v0ZTM-nAqYpOjjCOD0 "Nobody on the ground saw this coming. In fact, only a couple hours earlier, TSN 1290 employees got an email from their boss touting strong recent streaming numbers. As you likely know, the station bailed on the final year of its 10-year partnership with the True North Sports & Entertainment for exclusive broadcasting rights to the Jets, citing massive financial losses." Very interesting that they didn't even complete their initial 10 year agreement...never mind bidding on a new rights agreement. Yikes.

I'm convinced that by the end of March, we're going to see skyrocketing numbers because of the UK variant. Not sure about Manitoba, but the larger provinces for sure...AB, I think we're right ******...

I'm 100% with you on the Rempel situation. I'm super freaked out about it because it looks SO BAD on us if we disrespected a veteran player like that. It's a reputation thing that the club worked so hard to fix, and would be really easy to botch again. I really hope the situation isn't as reported...

Reading Friedman's 31 Thoughts, it sounds like Laine was dogging it on a play that led to a goal, and when the assistant coach went to talk to him about it, they had an incident.....and that led to the benching.

damn, we're going to miss Exume on Teams.....that's a shame.

now lock it.

You have no idea how often @17to85and I reference this........... it is more accurate than you can possibly imagine. Whichever Simpsons writer wrote this bit knew what he was talking about...

there is absolutely nothing worse than a post-game call in show. So many lunatics who think they know what they're talking about. Absolutely painful. When Bob Irving goes to the phone lines after a Bombers game, that's my cue to shut it off. Love interviews with players and coaches after a win, but the idiots on the phone are absolutely the worst.

what's Alex McCallister's story? Did he go back to the States after a short stint with us? That's a guy I wouldn't mind seeing back in camp...

if Nichols stays healthy behind a make-shift OL, Petermann will get lots of touches. They don't have a RB nearly the quality of Andrew Harris to eat up a lot of the touches...
