In fairness, I said "closer to 200k" (than $120k).....now, I may have Smith/Dressler contracts mixed up, but I could swear it was north of 150k, for sure...

We should be so lucky...

I remember reading 185k...

I wonder if a quality IMP REC might shake loose in Sask, what with the glut they have over there...

If there's one thing we've learned, it's that it's a small league and players talk a lot....club reputations get around.

he was making a LOT more than that....closer to 200k....

that definitely makes keeping Denmark a lot more important........

jaaaayyyyyzzzzuzzzzzzz...........seriously?

The thing is, knowing Manitoba, there's probably people who think this is "misspending the budget" and that the players are asking for too much. "WE'VE GOT A STADIUM TO PAY FOR!!!"

http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/03/30/blog-on-the-road/ I thought this was neat enough to start it's own thread. We know, from players talking about it, that the Bombers started spending more money on little things, and really acting like a pro organization. Jamal Westerman said they operate exactly like an NFL team. This article has a little more in depth on what that means...

My point being, starting JFG or whoever, is just fine, for now..... (not suggesting all IMP Rec corps)

I don't think starting a potentially-good NI Rec is as imperative as you do. There's other ways to make the ratio work...

I have hereby decided that this kid is *OUR* Brendon Labatte, only more talented......I'm not ready to call him New Walby yet, but, if they're SURE he's not NFL-Bound, take him....done and done.

I know Gray is a Bison, but is he born and raised Manitoba, too? I just assume, but you never know...

...not to derail a pretty good thread so far, but this is actually a thing that has pissed me off in 2 different workplaces. I've been a victim of it, re: holiday time, where people with families get priority because "well, they have kids"....get f***ed....don't punish me because I wasn't stupid enough to knock up the old lady..... Okay, /Rant

Not that it means anything per se, but fwiw, Bauming says the Bombers had a very large contingent on hand today. Not really surprising, I suppose, since it's right here in our back yard, so they may as well be there........but still.....if they figure the kid is CFL bound, I'd be okay with him at #1...

How's the financing on fam's, gents?

The only person who could POSSIBLY save DC from themselves.....

Waiting for @SpeedFlex27 to chime in on this, because I believe he was the one complaining (no, seriously, guys!) about how pricing was way out of hand and not affordable for the average family anymore. Definitely commend the Bombers on making this a priority!!

Unreal...would love to have the guy here, but gotta think he's NFL bound with numbers like that...

Logan -- Love Lethal Weapon. Full disclosure: I'd probably watch Damon Wayans in anything, and he's outstanding in this show. I was surprised how much I like the new Riggs...and they have great chemistry. I've always been a procedurals guy, and this one has a lot of pop to it. It's like early CSI before it got really stupid. And has a bigger, movie-style budget. It's a good, mid-week fun watch, for sure...

ya the GF has Days taping every day, and Supergirl on Mondays, I believe....oi vey....

ah man, I thought of another sitcom: Last Man On Earth with Will Forte. Love that show. So, for the record, our PVR recording sched looks like this: Monday -- Gotham Tuesday -- SHIELD, This Is Us Wednesday -- SVU, Criminal Minds, Lethal Weapon, Designated Survivor Thursday -- Big Bang Theory Saturday -- SNL Sunday -- Last Man On Earth The gf has some stupid **** of her own she watches, but this is the basis of our PVR slate....
