  1. attitude and personality are one thing...I don't want straight up assholes. Maybe MOS goes too far with what he's looking for, but I agree with it in principle. There's gotta be a middle ground somewhere.
  2. Count me in the same boat as Mike. I've gone to similar lengths in my life. I used to watch "Fever Pitch" with potential girlfriends just to kind of explain things a little bit and say "listen, if you're not in at this level...it's not going to work". Luckily, I've found someone who gets it and is on board. I think most would agree I'm one of the most positive on this board...one of the last to ever criticize the team or jump on any one player or coach. But I'm just done right now...emotionally exhausted. I can't keep watching all the losing. I'm an Oilers fan and a Bombers fan....it's just too much, year in and year out. I'm coming home in a week and we'd planned on coming in from Victoria Beach (where we spend most of our holidays) to go to the game on the Wednesday night vs Hamilton, but now I'm questioning whether I want to make the drive, buy tickets, etc.....I think maybe I'll just watch it on tv at the cabin, so I can shut it off, if it's a **** show. I don't know what the problem is, or how you fix it, but something has to be done to fix the core of the problem....when even the most diehard among us are giving up....that's a really serious problem.
  3. I'm just officially at my breaking point. I don't believe there's anyone on this messageboard that knows enough to know what exactly is wrong, but there's something really really wrong and I'm ready to concede the season, pretty much. I can't remember ever feeling "lame duck" this early in the season before. But last night told me things are really rotten. We're going to get thumped in Edmonton next week because we always get thumped in Alberta, and then Collaros is going to be back just in time to get some revenge for them against us at home while I'm back in MB early August. Things are going to get a lot worse here, this season...
  4. Montreal asked for Hall, Nurse, Klefbom, the #4 + something else....for Subban straight up. That's been reported. Chia, sanely, hung up the phone. I'm personally not a Subban fan, and think Weber is a big upgrade at that position, if only for a couple years.
  5. If they're middle of the pack, statistically, considering what they did in their pants at McMahon, that's a testament to how well they've been playing aside from that game...
  6. D is much much improved....but it was a low bar. If O can start showing as much improvement, we'll be getting somewhere...
  7. Defense has turned a corner the last couple games...they're not to blame. ST has been great all year....if O ever gets their **** together, we might have something.
  8. One of these weeks, Willy is going to light some team up big time.....we've seen him do it before, and we'll see him do it again before long.
  9. Goddamnitsomuch......Messam has been money for me all season, so far, but I refuse to take a player that's going against us.............sooooo.........Grigsby.
  10. and is another local, right? Born and raised Winnipeg...?
  11. Blue Bombers ✔ @Wpg_BlueBombers Gerry James announced as the 3rd inductee to the Ring of Honour
  12. Moore back in but I thought that looked really bad at first. MCL/ACL type thing...
  13. No matter what you wanna say about the Bombers, those two teams are currently world's worse than us...currently.
  14. Credible reviewers like Richard Roeper say it's flaming bag of crap....as expected from Paul Feig and his usual cast of unfunny women......so you couldn't pay me enough to go see this.
  15. WILLY SUXX00RS!11! FirE MIKE OHSEAYY!1!
  16. I don't know a single Jays fan who doesn't think they're the worst....
  17. No, they don't love him....vast majority of Blue Jays fans despise the broadcast tandem of Buck Martinez and Pat Tabler. Universally known as the worst in the majors. Thank CHRIST and everything holy they've got Dan Schulman doing some games this year...it's saving a complete **** show.
  18. Brandon is the biggest place I've ever lived, so this is the right size of town for me. I'm in a good spot...30 mins from Red Deer, 45 from Calgary, 1.5 h from Edmonton. Would I like to work in Manitoba again? Absolutely. But I've resided myself to the fact that I'm not ever going to work in Winnipeg. And all the small town stations pay around minimum wage....so.....not likely in the cards. Luckily, out here, you might not make 6-figures in a small market (almost everyone in Calgary makes at least 100k, Forbes nearly 10x that...) but I can make a comfortable salary, job security, decent benefits...all that. I don't know enough about Calgary info station jocks...I know Mark Stephen as a Stamps voice, but that's it. Don't know anything else. I dated a girl from Country 105 when I first moved out here, so I'm quite close to some people within Corus Calgary/Edmonton, but don't know much about the 770 crew....
  19. Chevy can't possibly be stupid enough to do something like that....holy Christ....
  20. I don't know enough about why it happened. There is a message board for radio types that I troll a bit, but don't post...there hasn't been much on there about it. If there's one thing I know about major markets like Calgary, it's that there is no job security. All it takes is one bad ratings book, and you're gone. You look at the changes the Rock stations undergo.....Gerry Forbes is the only guy who ever lasts, between CJAY and that Classic Rock one...what the hell is it....Oh! Q107.....yeah.....Bruce Kenyon and those guys. Constant swapping of "talent". It terrifies the **** outta me....I want no part of a major market, regardless of the potential money.
  21. Zut alors! En francais! Hee hee hee hon hon hon......
  22. I'd take a 175yd game, so long as we win......
  23. Keeping was insurance, nothing more. He was never going to start.
  24. **** sakes... Of course this week I'm playing the guy who has Ellingson in Fantaseh... 51 ******* points...
