Cohon apparently very anxious to get this thing going in the right direction, so we'll see if he can at least keep them in the same room together for a period of time. That would be a good start...

word outta MLSE this morning, apparently, is that this thing is a long way from over...

in...

Iso, I appreciate cynicism as much as the next guy, but for a change of pace, let's just be happy that a guy who had a stand-out CIS career gets a chance to practice with some pros. Just take a second and be happy for the guy.

Really looking forward to some camp updates starting tonight. All of us living outside MB appreciate it!

Back when he was first running for Mayor, I remember my grandmother telling me about how she knew people that knew him, and knew that he was involved in illegal activities. Lotta under-the-table stuff going on with him. I've never lived in Wpg, so I'm certainly not one to weigh-in on the merits of Sammy as Mayor, but I've always been leery...

Donating a pair of seasons is big time...LOVE it! ...And those t-shirts are cool. Definitely need one!

Maybe not straight up Amish, but the colony Mennos are every bit the part. You spend anytime around Winkler and it's a whole other world...

Tin foil hats for everyone!!

you know you could at least put quotes around "building a fitness facility that the Bombers can't use" so we know you're being sarcastic....

Unfortunately not in AB though...damn shame.

Definite politics...everyone trying to play hardball, but it sounds like they just need to find a way to convince the Feds to cough up 10-mil as we did by putting the stadium near the UofM. They'll come up with something...

You're the only one who's been even remotely funny in this thread. "Caption This" threads are only funny when you're at least somewhat harsh. The lame "inbreeder" jokes are passe...c'mon, people, you're smarter than that, I hope...

Those Buck chips were ridiculously awesome and I really sincerely wish they'd come back. Because you could only really get 'em in MB, we'd have to stock up anytime one of us went home and bring 'em back to AB for game days....

Really surprised how many people are so anti-unions in this thread. Kind of interesting...

You're sad, I want one. I wear comic book tshirts all the time. You don't like it...TOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAD!!!And if you look they are obviously adult sized. I'm sure they have kids sizes too. I'm buying one. Seriously you guys sound like a bunch of cry babies. Soooo much this. Worst thing about society right now is that you losers made it seem as if its cool to be a nerd.

Its not funny when I have to explain the ironical jokes...

If they're in little kids sizes only, fine, but if I see an adult in one....that's really really sad.

The interconnected series of tubes or webs that allow us to get on the line and read the emails and facebooks and tweeters....

One of the first things I do in the morning is read the Wpg FP online at work...usually around 8am, because I'm obsessive compulsive like that....and I just assume that if it's newsworthy, someone will post it in the main forum. I rarely go anywhere but the main discussion forum. Occasionally I'll jump over to the General Discussion if I'm REALLY bored and the tubes are being lame, but it's pretty much just here or nowhere.

I have never once set foot (mouse) in that news feed...

I care a lot about the players and especially the Canadian ones. Wouldn't be the same without the vets...

On the contrary, the players' resolve has never seemed stronger, based on what I've been reading. Good for them. I'm decidedly pro-PA in this one. Be strong boys!

that "bonus" for signing before June 2 or whatever....what a ******* joke. That's an insult to the players, and hopefully they see it that way. But like Lawless says, "they're *only* 2.2m apart", so it's time to negotiate and narrow that gap...

http://www.tsn.ca/story/?id=452722 Dave Naylor - TSN "With talks between the Canadian Football League and the CFL Players Association at a standstill, the league has taken its message directly to the membership. Shortly after talks broke off during the latest bargaining session Wednesday morning, the league issued letters to the individual players which proposes a nine per cent increase in the salary cap for this coming season from $4.4 million to $4.8 million, with increases continuing over five season until the salary cap reaches $5,000,050.00. The proposal would see the minimum salary increased from $45,000 to $50,000, and the average salary go from - by the league's math - $82,904 to $92,917. The league has also proposed increasing the size of game day rosters from 42 to 44 players and limiting full contact practices to one per week during the season, with up to 10 more being held during the season at the team's discretion. In addition, the league is dangling signing bonuses for every player if a deal is ratified by June 2, the first day or training camp. Rookies would receive $1,000 each, with veterans collecting $3,000 apiece. The latest move by the league comes after a previous offer to the CFLPA was rejected on May 16. The player returned with an offer on May 20, which asked for an increase in the salary cap to $6.24 million for this coming season, with further increases to be built on top of that, starting in 2015, based on sharing in the league's revenue streams. TSN reported Tuesday that the players were planning to propose on Wednesday a formula for the cap based solely on sharing revenue streams that would put the cap at $7 million"
