Do You Use Chat?
I agree. I'm not gonna get into a whole thing, but as has been mentioned before, this whole place got shittier when Jets Fans Who Aren't Really Bombers Fans discovered the place and kinda took over, and ask all sorts of ridiculous and inane questions, and post things that really don't jive with the original core crew of this place. But.......that's just one grump old man's take.

a couple of shitty posters ruined it, basically. It's not a fun place to be anymore.

2019-20 CFL Offseason
....Sounds like it was a groin injury that caused him to be waived. Hopefully he catches on somewhere yet. He's a good'n...

Manitoba seemingly trending in the right direction....for now. Some positives, anyhow...

Good for Hansen if he gets an NFL shot....long way from driving a school bus or whatever it was.

2019-20 CFL Offseason
right, but what do the players get as a concession? You're asking them to give up a lot there.....what do they get in return?

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...
