The Winnipeg Thread
I know a couple of the proposals that did not make the list so let's just say there were worse ideas put forward. 😂

The public engagement on Portage & Main opened today and they were nice enough to spell out when Browaty will get the details he wants. https://engage.winnipeg.ca/portageandmain

He's conflating two different projects so yeah he's going to be disappointed if he's expecting information that was out of scope for this one.

The Winnipeg Thread
Reading that article confirms for me yet again that Browaty is a clown and has no idea what he's talking about. There are essentially two separate projects happening at the same time: the repair of the membrane and the potential redesign of the intersection. The city knew they would have to tear up the intersection to fix the membrane so since it will be out of commission for a while, they are using it as an opportunity to look at making changes to the design. It's a rare occurrence of city trying to get two birds stoned at once. Browaty can be disappointed all he wants about the lack of info on the underground but that's not what the upcoming public engagement is about.

Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
I'm hoping it's this. In one of the earlier Free Press articles, he mentioned that that when he left Winnipeg to go to prep school, it was an adjustment for him but once he got the playbook down, his play took off. Demski also mentioned, in the same article, that he understands football real well but even if he doesn't get it immediately, practice rosters are great for development. Obviously going to the pro level will be an entirely different beast, but hopefully with time, he'll be able to live up to his potential. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/2023/01/12/winnipeg-receiver-turning-heads

2023 CFL Draft Discussion
Seems like the top 7 may have the NFL in their near future... how long they'll stick down there is anyone's guess though.

2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
Taylor says he's good to go but we've heard that before (Mercy Maston comes to mind) so time will tell. They must have a weird definition of "going strong" in Edmonton. I don't know how you can look at his age and that injury and not have questions.

Harper's speech said nothing about apologizing on behalf of the Conservative Party, he apologized on behalf of the Canadian Government. https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100015644/1571589171655

Getting attention from a perennial powerhouse like Alabama isn't something you see every day so I'm very interested in where this goes. BC & Edmonton were also in the mix to get him as a territorial recruit it seems: https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/2023/01/12/winnipeg-receiver-turning-heads https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/special/sports-editors-picks/2022/01/24/his-ceiling-is-through-the-roof

2023 NHL Playoffs Thread
Who said stop chirping? It's just not very effective when your team isn't exactly the model franchise for success and only got into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth.

Jets fans talking s**t to Oilers fans is like Rider fans trying to compare Grey Cups wins with the Bombers.

Par for the course down there: The errand that nearly cost Ralph Yarl his life was of the sort that falls to older brothers everywhere. Ralph, a Black 16-year-old in Kansas City, Mo., had been sent to pick up his younger twin brothers at a friend’s house on Thursday evening, his family said. But he mixed up the address, finding himself in front of a house on Northeast 115 Street, instead of Northeast 115th Terrace. The white man who answered the door there shot him in the head and again in the arm after he fell, according to prosecutors. Somehow, Ralph made his way, bleeding, to another nearby house. There, he was told to lie on the ground while someone called for help, his family said. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/17/us/ralph-yarl-kansas-city-shooting.html

2023 CFL Draft Discussion
I wonder if we look at this kid from Brandon in the draft. He didn't make the top 20 draft rankings but he had a pretty good combine. Still has some work to do from the sounds of it but it might be a good pipeline pick and him wanting to be here is not a bad thing either! https://3downnation.com/2023/04/17/2023-cfl-draft-profiles-saskatchewans-dayton-black-transitioned-from-record-setting-qb-to-top-ol-prospect/
