  1. Not surprising given Chris Jones was their DC (at least he was at the time of the suplex).
  2. Anyone know what happened to Rios?
  3. The last few years, I have seen very little (if any) Rider gear when I've been down south. It's been one of the best parts of those trips!
  4. They have ones for out of towners too. The eastern mb one has pinawa, pine falls, lac du bonnet, etc.
  5. 46 people hospitalized due to a carbon monoxide leak. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/emergency-crews-respond-gas-leak-at-st-james-hotel-1.5205353
  6. Highly doubt it. He's on Calgary's PR so why would he turn down the spot in his home town to take the same role elsewhere? When I was watching TC, Jordan Younger was calling out his name quite a bit, and not in a good way so, to me, it was pretty clear that he was going to be pretty low on the depth chart.
  7. I don't think he would need it & why waste the roster spot if you don't plan on him being in there the entire game? It's not pre-season where you can have 90 guys on the game day roster.
  8. I was skeptical that this would work but it seems accurate... this is what came up for me when I typed in @TorontoArgos.
  9. last kick at the can... Andrew Harris
  10. That "quack" that BLM went to see is pretty well versed dealing with athletes (specifically football players) since he's the team physician for the Rams. He's a semi-personal physician for Tom Brady and performed multiple surgeries on Kobe Bryant so BLM picked a good one.
  11. Going back to Andrew Harris and hope I don't become the Argos of the Lock of the Week thread.
  12. I believe a couple people couldn't play nice in the politics thread so they got put in time out.
  13. If Conteh is playing anything but teams, it's definitely not a good thing for Calgary.
  14. So did Campbell. Their O-line in general looked terrible. On quite a few plays, they barely (if at all) got a hand on someone rushing the QB.
  15. I won't argue this guy's credentials but it does seem like every supplemental draft prospect gets talked up as a potential 1st overall pick had they been in the regular draft. The way the system is set-up, it makes sense that teams try to pump the tires on these guys so that other teams over-pay for them like we did with Poblah & Waggoner.
  16. The flipside to that is that there are other changes that could be made but the government will not touch because of the political cost. Changes to the Home Care program for example, could save taxpayers a ton but it's non-starter for the PC's. The last figures I saw, had Manitoba providing 5x the national average in hours of home care per week. We also provide services that no other province allows (like housekeeping and laundry) when we definitely cannot afford to.
  17. As I said in my last post, it's not so much what they are doing but how they are doing it. One of the biggest problems has been that they haven't adequately increased the resources (staff, beds, etc) at the existing ER's to match the increased patient levels. The remaining ER's are already overwhelmed and now they are getting ready to close another one before fixing the problems that currently exist.
  18. For the royal treatment you get if you wear enough gold?
  19. Crisis averted.
  20. Maybe in their experience but I would put money on them being in the minority. I've been working in this system for over 15 years and this is by far the most chaotic I have ever seen it. It's not so much what they are trying to do but how they are going about doing it. Their plans (or lack their of) seem to go out the window all the time. This seems to be the thought process: "Things aren't going as well as we thought they would? Ok, f**k it, let's double down by not only sticking with the plans that aren't working but speeding up the timeline for those changes, That should fix things... or least get the changes in place by election time so the fallout won't be truly felt until after the votes are in".
  21. Streveler
  22. He already showed last week that he's more mobile than last season. It's never going to be something teams really have to plan around though.
  23. But what about MOS wearing shorts? For me it's no different than DC's hat. If it starts affecting wins and losses, then I'll care, but until then, to each their own.
