it's crossed my mind a couple times this week.....

The Poop Nevis Combo is just so unbelievably important for this team...

"I get that! .....I, uh, I get that reference..."

....Except they've never lied (...if that was to be the case...) They could still start Lefevour and say that, at the last minute, there was a setback with Nichols leg, so he can't go. I don't like this attitude of entitlement like the team owes something to people. All they are expected to do is win, at all costs. They can't be worried about "lying to the fans"....and they're not stupid....they know people aren't going to buy tix if they think Nichols is out, so of course they make it seem like he's playing all week. But if for some reason he doesn't? I'm not going to be all upset like they lied to me....get ******. The team is going to do whatever it has to, and I don't hold that against 'em one bit.

I was filled with that, too....and will be, again, this Sunday....

Haven't been filled with dread like this since the 07 GC.......sigh.

@DarrinBauming Timothy Flanders just collapsed to the turf at the end of #Bombers practice. Walking off the field now with trainers while favouring his lower left leg. Was unavailable to the media after practice -- always a bad sign. If we lose Flanders, our offense goes right to ****...

fwiw, we Albertans that were cheering loud and proud that same day from 13 hours away........

^^^ Awesome.......Fur hat, ski goggles, Movember 'stache, and drink in hand is just too good...

Best way to do it, imo, is to use the "Insert Other Media" button in the bottom right corner of the Reply box.....that's what I use all the time for posting images.

if 26,500 actually show up, that'll be a loud crowd.....if they get anything near 30k, that'll look phenomenal on TV......c'mon, Winnipeg, get 'er done!!

I can't tell you right now how many are on board, but CKDM Dauphin has rights and CKMW Winkler did before they switched to FM and went to primarily music. I'm not sure if they still air Goldeyes, Jays, Bombers, etc as they used to. At one point, the Golden West Boissevain mini-stick would air Bombers games that you could get in Brandon, but that's been done for awhile now, I believe...

Radio Player Canada app, baby.....she's a beaut. I use it to tune in to Manitoba stations all the time (as well as monitor my own, when I'm away...) Was doing some airchecking of QX104 with it recently (painful...for my personal tastes, anyhow...) and a couple stations I used to work at. Really nifty app...

I think it's fair that everyone enjoys different things from on-air personality.....and I can respect people's opinion. Having said that, there's something I personally enjoy about a guy who knows he's better than everyone else (Doug Brown, as a player, was better than everyone else) and isn't afraid to say it...."It ain't braggin' motherf***er, if you back it up..." There are absolutely times you can "hear" Doug Brown rolling his eyes as he speaks....I love that ****.

Brown has come a long way. He was really bad for trying to use unnecessarily big words...still does it sometimes, but is getting better at being more conversational. Working with Irving long enough will help with that. I maintain there is nothing better for a Bombers fan than the pre-game segment with Tait, Irving and Brown just bullshitting about CFL stuff. Dave and I were saying earlier today we'd pay money to sit in and listen to that convo over drinks...

I heart this so much...

it's funny because I know why DBs phone auto-corrected to that....there's an Als beat reporter named Didier.....

This is one of the most inaccurate statements ever to see the light of day.....

Man, I have a lot of thoughts about some of the opinions in this thread, but I think the best thing I can say is: I'm really encouraged by how much people legitimately care about this topic. Re: the ratings.....something to keep in mind: Those numbers posted are 12+, which means it's all listeners 12 years and older...which doesn't really show an accurate picture. For example, TSN is FAR more concerned with M18-49....All males 18-49 years old. That's their key demo...and they're a lot higher up in that demo than the 12+ would show. There's also things like Cume and other "fancy stats" that radio sales/marketing people like to cling to. Having said that, it's probably accurate that Jets broadcasts are the main draw for TSN. Other than that...there's not a lot going on. I tune in sometimes to "aircheck" (monitor/analyze) their local jocks.....aaaaaand....they're passionate, but still learning in some cases (Kevin O). Re: CJOB commercials....if you know about broadcasting, you know that tons of commercials during a program means they're doing something right. If they didn't have so many people tuning in, they wouldn't have advertisers paying for the time. TSN *WISHES* they had people being upset at too many commercials...

Trestman vs MOS......no question in my mind....

You, sir, are INSANE........the CJOB pre-game is so far ahead of TSN, it's almost unbelievable. There is nothing I enjoy more than Tait, Doug Brown and Knuckles bullshitting during the pre-game show. The post game is solid until they get to the callers, then I'm out. But that pre-game? Oh man, it's not even close....Irving is such a pro. Bauming is awesome, and really cares, but as a broadcaster....he's a great writer.

Overlooked in all this: Dave Dickenson gets the West Div COTY nom over MOS.................discuss.

Don't quote me, but I believe CJOB is a much higher wattage...signal carries a lot farther.
