Hasn't been mentioned yet, but the first First Nations NHL player, Fred Sasakamoose, died yesterday because of COVID. Terrible...

I understand your point, but I don't like celebrating "NFL success" as some sort of measurement for the CFL. **** that league and everything about it. When we talk about the best of all time in our league, it's about our league and what was accomplished here.

I don't know a lot about the whole "Vaccine Passport" idea, but I like the idea in theory. Basically to do anything, go anywhere, gain access to an event.....you need to prove you've been vaccinated. Love that idea and hope it comes to fruition.

Hmmm... I was sure Geroy was all but given that job. Interesting. That's one way to reduce their administrative costs...

Jennings is the obvious, logical choice....but it certainly makes a lot of sense to go with someone who checks more boxes.

*Dominant -- and yes, he sure was. He had a few pancake blocks that were outstanding. The entire interior of the line was incredible. Our tackles are always special, but the interior was THE story in allowing Harris to do what he does best....

Hard to not say Wally or The Don were the two best of all time in this league, but absolutely Bombers bias says Bud Grant the greatest of all time....who am I to argue with that?

Unbelievable game....fantastic "live watch" party with Harris/Alexander in the first half and (even better!) Neufeld/FatboiThomas in the second half. Great insight on the game. I found the CJOB post-game show online and listening to that now, while sipping some good Sandy Lake home brew.......this is a good night. I ******* LOVE the CFL....and I live and die with the Bombers. Great ******* game....

Grey Cup Sunday!! Watched 84 and 88 GCs yesterday and currently have 90 up on the TV. Getting pumped for the GC107 rebroadcast!!

97 Argos... They should have been the winners. That team was like a video game where the player gets to create all the players and almost everyone is a 99 rating. It was unfair how good that team was..

Keep in mind it is a snake draft this year....

A super interesting side note: most of the key Bombers players all came down with a BAD flu when they got to Calgary. Jeffcoat, Bighill, Collaros, Harris... Others.... Got a brutal flu and had to be put on IV during the week.

Alberta with another 1300 new cases today and 9 more deaths, including a 20 year old. Just a kid for Christ's sake. And our Premier nowhere to be found this past week.

I really hang on to that total GCs thing. Had a bunch of Riders and Stamps fans yipping about how we finally won one and I was just saying "We tried to let everyone else catch up to us and you still couldn't..." All those yappers have absolutely nothing to say anymore. The 1990 thing is old news and the game wasn't a fluke. We destroyed the best team in the league. **** em all.

I hear that. I couldn't bring myself to PVR any of the playoff games for fear of jinxing us. I should have taken the Monday off work and stayed in Calgary to party after the game, but again didn't want to be presumptuous and jinx us. Damnation. Just never imagined it could actually happen for us....

But.... How much time has the CFL had to come up with a 2021 plan? Months. And they still have no plan (according to Ambrosie) other than what they always done. You had an opportunity to find a different business model, and the optics are that they didn't do anything. Again, this is all optics as presented by the commissioner and the optics are that they sat on their hands and didn't do a thing, instead waiting for the world to return to normal so they could go back to a business model that, let's face it, has been dangerously close to broken for a long time now.

So nervous. I went to get some Farmery beer (the only MB beer in YYC) the morning of the game, down in Inglewood at Oak and Vine. While we were waiting for it to open, we went in to Hose and Hound for a Crown Royal (Gimli) shot for good luck. As with you, I didn't really drink a lot that day, and was just extremely nervous...

Zomg!1!

Almost wanted to apologize to you yesterday. Dave and I got talking about it and went "ah ****, turns out Iso was right all along..." And I don't think what he said is putting a positive spin. I think it's outright lying or at least deliberately withholding information. The positive spin, for me, would be him saying that there is a plan for every scenario. We HOPE to have this, but we'll be able to play if it's that.. That would be the positive spin. As for my post yesterday, losing the CFL was really like a death in the family for me. I love it that much.

this schedule is nothing but manipulative drivel. It's not worth the paper it's printed on, for lack of a better term. Randy Ambrosie comes out with absolutely no f***ing plan on how they're going to play other than Best Case Scenario, which is wildly unlikely (nearly impossible). Vaccines got approved? That's nice....you think it's a magic f***ing bullet and all of a sudden the pandemic is over by May?? Get the f*** out. Tell me how you're going to play in a Worst Case Scenario. Tell me how you're going to play with no government money and no fans in the stands. When you can guarantee me that there will be a season NO MATTER WHAT, then I'll get excited. The CFL broke my heart in 2020. Getting through an entire year with no CFL is pretty much the worst thing I've ever experienced, and I've seen some ****. I honestly don't really care THAT much about hockey, and yeah I love curling, but there is absolutely nothing like the CFL, for me, and an entire year without it was nothing short of gutting. And with all the time off, the best Ambrosie can come up with is "We expect to have our fans in the stands and everything will be normal"..?? Go f*** yourself. That's not a plan. That's setting yourself up for failure. So, anyhow,....you'll forgive me if I'm not even a little bit excited about this "schedule". As CFLPA Pres Solly E alluded to earlier this week, we need hard commitments. Not pie in the sky hopes and wishes....

Can't remember if I shared this already or not, but it's my favourite thing on the internet this weekend. I can't stop laughing.........

does that make it okay? I've been hearing a lot of that during COVID....that certain paople's deaths are excusable because they were old. **** that. Howie's family...can't remember if it's his daughter or niece....moved to Pinawa and married a Haugen. They had two kids around my age. The daughter, in particular, I knew well growing up. They were really good people. Two great Canadians in one day....truly awful day.

Also, considering the amount of manure being spread.......

Truly one of our all time greatest Canadians. Ukrainian immigrant father, French-Canadian mother... Does it get more Canadian than that?

It's game day!! 3:30 your time... Grab a drink and your game time snacks. We'll see ya in the chat to rewatch an amazing West Semi (well, the second half was pretty good anyhow....) See ya in a few hours!
