    Again, just my opinion & this thread is going nowhere but does every celebrity that dies make you feel sad? I'd say only about half may affect everyone enough to comment here, if that. Besides, most people are on social media & when a celebrity dies we know about it & can comment.

    I agree that a ton of the posts in this thread won't affect everyone but that can be said for any other thread/topic on here.  It obviously affected someone enough that they felt it needed to be posted so who are we to say what's worth posting to somebody else?  The simple solution to either ignore the thread/certain posters or only comment if/when it appeals to you (which you admit you already do).

    The fact that social media exists and can serve the same function is irrelevant. Should the whole board be shut down because we can already comment on Bomber news on social media?  We get most of our Bomber news & updates from social media and bring it here to discuss so why should this thread be any different?

    The idea that because a public figure doesn't know each person that respects/enjoys their work so we shouldn't talk about them, is ridiculous.  I mean Bob Irving has no idea who most people on the board are but I guarantee that when his time comes, it will be a sad day here (and throughout the Canadian football community) and there will be tons of discussion about his life and career.  

    People can impact your life without ever having met you and there's nothing wrong with that all.  As mentioned earlier, if this thread isn't your thing, maybe you should just ignore it and not comment on it?

    I don't think I have seen this one mentioned before, apologies to iHeart if it has. 

    In the previous Za Pizza location on Regent is a new Shawarma place called Osmow's. Saw on Saturday but the rest of the family was not feeling adventurous.

    They opened about two months ago I believe.  I've been a couple times as I love shawarma.  

    You can get more of a North American meal if the family isn't wanting to try something completely new.   Their signature creations page has some different options like getting your shawarma on top of fries, rice or salad rather than in a wrap.  I've tried the chicken "on the rocks" (chicken on a bed of rice) and it's really good.

    Jones is insane so it is a possibility,  but how can they afford Brown and Ford at a high salary in 2025?  I would assume Brown wouldn't sign a 1 year deal?  

    Maybe he trades Ford to Ottawa and signs Brown that could be a possbility?  

    That's a 2025 problem. Jones needs to worry about 2024.  I don't think he has the job security to be worried that far in advance.

    If Ford can't show more improvement, he won't get a huge increase.  If Brown only shows that he's the next Arbuckle, they can cut or trade him.

    The fact that some people on here think Edmonton would dump Tre Ford for Dru Brown is crazy talk.    

     

    Why would they have to dump him?  He's still on his rookie deal so he's getting peanuts next season.  They can still try to bring in Brown without moving Ford.

    Jones clearly isn't a huge fan of Ford and has already stated camp will be an open competition next year so it's not inconceivable that they take a run at Brown.

    Unless the CBC is right in which case she's a modern day Grey Owl.

    I read the CBC report and she really has nobody to blame but herself.  She's changed her story so many times over the years, I don't blame people for being skeptical of her claims. 

    These aren't new allegations either, her family has been publicly disputing her claims as far back as the 60's.

    Not to mention the fact that we have so many things to explore in our own back yard in this great Country of ours.

    Yep, I was in Halifax for the first time this summer.  Wasn't there for long and they had massive flooding a couple days before I got there so it wasn't the best timing but I'm really looking forward to going back.

    In nearly 40 years I've never once been to the States. I've been across Canada and spent a week or more in each of Spain, Germany, Denmark, and The Netherlands, but never once crossed the American border. For what? Cereal? Tahiti Treat? Civil forfeitures? No thank you. Though I would like to go to Vegas one day.

    I have been but I'm pretty much the same now.  I've seen what I wanted (Vegas, Disney, Universal etc) but I'm not sure I'll ever go again. 

    So many more places I would prefer to see and spend my time/money in.
