I laughed...apparently in the year-end meeting, the first thing Shapiro did was give AA **** for trading away their entire future. Cupboards are pretty bare now, after AA sold his soul for a World Series. AA apparently wanted total autonomy for 5 years, and Shapiro laughed at him, so that was that. Those two were not going to be able to get along.

I was on the team exec committee during the 06/07 season. There's First Nations members on the team and they don't want it changed. This is white people complaining for the sake of complaining.

Myers and Trouba are your untouchable D.....gotta have 'em. Every single team is looking for guys like that.

Good to see after all that a loony tune can still walk into Parliament and start shooting people. All I know is it's likely Harper's fault......................

This....each one is tuned to a different key, so you can swap out from song to song, without having to stand there and tune while the audience gets bored. Standard practice.

Prior to his retirement, my dad worked in protective services for a federal agency (firefighter by schooling, later security and first response as well) and immediately after 9/11, they got a MASSIVE increase in their annual budget and the perceived importance of their job changed completely. They began training with the RCMP out of D Dvision in Winnipeg and a bunch of other stuff. Short story: the government took security at all federal facilities EXTREMELY seriously post 9/11, so if I had to guess, I'd say the PMs personal detail 24/7 woulda been beefed up...

If True North is involved in helping book the band, I wouldn't completely rule it out. TN already handles the IGF booking iirc. Nobody in Winnipeg has anything to do with booking the entertainment for Grey Cup. The league itself is solely responsible for the Grey Cup and it's half time entertainment. The team is waiting on the announcement as much as anyone else. It's all up to the league.

The pre-taping for stuff like this, and awards shows, has more to do with timing than anything. They need to make sure that the half time fits the TV schedule, and it's easier to do that when they have the exact time ahead of time.....thus, pre-recording.....

So an American, semi-relevant Rock act.......very interesting.....

IMO, Hall has done enough to stick around in the DC capacity. Just need an OC and an heir apparent at ST.....

I'd really like to think we could do better than Lapo......

If it's not Getzlaf or Perry coming back, I'm not interested...

Because that's what a sitting MLA needs.....**** sakes....

For years, people lost their minds around here because our management team didn't do enough. They screamed about how other teams were proactive, even if it meant bending the rules a little bit. Finally, we have a 3-man (Maybe 4, if you count Wade as 2 people...) crew that works together in lock-step on all issues (as has been reported ad nauseum) and is reportedly so angry about how this season turned out, they're now already working toward fixing things for next year. And people continue to wail. Let's all just take a step back and relax a bit....

Don't contact any team during the season. The season is over in a week. If it's a playoff team wait until they're eliminated or win the Grey Cup. Play by the rules & at least have integrity. Like I said, how would we like it if the roles were reversed? As fans we would be upset. What goes around, comes around. If you think that this sort of stuff doesn't go on all the time in this league, you are very naive. And you are.... what GM??? You have no clue if it does or doesn't. You just think it does. If this was the Stamps doing it, you'd be all in favour and screaming about why Miller and Co aren't. This is why I don't take your bitching seriously...no matter what you rabble rabble about "old school Bombers fan!!11!", you're a Stamps fan first and foremost......

Should wait until the stink is off. It'll take awhile to air out that legacy...

fyp.

I'm gonna guess Arkells. Not Canadian. Check again. He's saying the band that is tentatively scheduled is not Canadian, therefore it's not the Arkells.......(...not saying the Arkells aren't Canadian, as they obviously are...from Hamilton area...)

'Burtans are just crazy enough to think this is actually a good idea....

Things that happen when you try to do something on the cheap. Do it right the first time, regardless of cost, and don't worry about it again.

Well, you've already got Richie Hall there. I think if you are constantly worried about your assistants "stealing" your job, then you're not doing a good enough job of your own.....and now Iso and the rest go "EXACTLY!!".....but I really don't think MOS is concerning himself with looking over his shoulder. He's just doing everything in his power to win, each and every week....

Everything that we've ever been told about this regime is that they work together on everything. I have no reason to believe that there's all of a sudden a weird anomaly.....it makes no sense based on precedent.

gbill is frustrated. We all are. Some of us just handle things more maturely than others...

Unless he's not meddling.....

TrueBlue is a good poster....I'm a fan of his work. Understand what gbill is saying, but it's excessive.
