Did You Know..
Just for fun -- Nik Lewis put together a team of players (on paper) who he thinks could still play today........ fwiw -- Milt said they'd need a full team of doctors on hand (ha ha)....

Covid-19
Hopefully it all gets sorted, anyhow! I just don't see how things get better once kids go back into schools...plus the usual fall/winter cold/flu season. It's going to be a gong show for the next 6 months or so...

Covid-19
thought this was an interesting graphic.....Manitoba the only one to get radically worse... (tho Sask really been up and down...)

Around The NHL 2019/2020
I haven't had a lot of interest in Hamonic in awhile, either... I know a lot of people like him because he's local, but ehhhhh.

Grey Cup Fan Base
So, I've seen this take a lot online....and my first instinct is to 100% agree with you, because I felt the same way about the Grey Cup rings that you could get as a fan. And in regards to that (not having "earned" it), a buddy at work said this to me: "As Bombers fans...with everything you've endured...especially in the last 30 years.....have you not 'earned' something special?" Now that's a fair point.....and maybe it applies to that Grey Cup base as well?? If I could afford to drop $400 for something like that, I might. But I think I'd be more inclined to do something like purchase Bombers seasons tickets to support the team directly, rather than a league-wide initiative...

ehhhhh......is this guy not over the hill now? I mean, I liked the guy about 5 years ago, but how much gas is still in the tank?

The RIP 2020 Thread
brutal...was an OD. The cops found him while doing a "welfare check". The very best songwriters seem to always have a substance abuse issue.

Dave Wheeler fired from 92
well, I think he still has a following.....and Energy 106 isn't exactly tearing up the ratings book, so they could use some kinda boost....any kinda boost. tl/dr - It's worth a shot and probably not that expensive for them. For him, he just wanted ANYONE to take a shot on him again so he can break into the market.

2019-20 CFL Offseason
semi-related CFL/NFL TC bit...... Larry Arugala is apparently looking very good in LA Rams camp. Tweet I saw the other day from one of their beat writers said he's been the best kicker in camp.

Covid-19
the hospitalization/ICU numbers being pretty low is a really good thing for now.....but something to keep a close eye on going forward, for sure.

Grey Cup Fan Base
That was my thought... 400 bucks? No, sir....

2019-20 CFL Offseason
Saw a thing on Twitter yesterday about how Fajardo declined to opt out, "in spite of having significant NFL interest"............... yahuh. As the water boy? A nearly-30 year old career-3rd stringer has significant NFL interest?

Canadian Politics
Anytime I see people whining about left-wing bias in "mainstream" media, I roll my eyes so hard it hurts. If the Con's want to get elected, they have to find a way to come back toward the middle, rather than going further to the right. Staunch social conservatism just seems so anti-Canadian. Canada has always been a (relatively speaking) socially progressive nation. There is nothing wrong with tightening budgets a bit and being smart with our money, but when you start talking about anti-abortion stuff, and not accepting Pride Day and things like that......that's just so wildly un-Canadian, to me.

Covid-19
Thanks Mark... Either way, great idea by the health authority.

Covid-19
Sounds like they're mandatory testing communal living situations in Westman. Not sure if that's a Hutterite situation or immigrant folks who live together or what. But most of the Westman cases are because health authority is getting everyone tested.

Upcoming Movies
That trailer feels like the Nolan Batman movies, which I absolutely love. Watching the trailer was definitely a SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! moment...

Diversionary Topic of the Week: My First Blue Bomber Memory
Just speaking of Bombers memories, the Bombers Alumni FB account re-shared this fun Ed Tait piece about some memorable moments, including "Troy Kopp's 15 Minutes Of Fame" (it's his birthday today...) https://www.cfl.ca/2020/04/07/look-back-memorable-bombers-games/

2020 NHL Playoffs
Nothing more enjoyable than the fLames getting tossed in the fashion they did last night. Absolutely crumpled and it was wonderful to see. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

2019 Redo - Week 11 Aug 23 - Blue Bombers at Elks
imagine being so deluded that you think Cody Fajardo is a legitimate all star QB who was gonna throw for 5000+ yards this year.....
