bigg jay got a reaction from Fatty Liver in Bombers at Stumps GDT
I don't disagree that his approach isn't the same and I was never arguing that. I argued that he wasn't the cheapskate you made him out to be. He still spends money, it's just mostly internally as he seems to prefer re-signing existing guys over attracting new (potentially younger) talent.
He definitely isn't as aggressive in FA as he used to be but the team also wasn't as good so he kinda had to be. If we maintain the status quo , we"ll be back in that situation.

I think the first sentence is the key here. We have over paid a bunch of guys. Kramdi is making elite money, we paid Lawson big money which is ok but we don’t play him nearly enough snaps for that money, Demski is banking massive cash, etc.
we have given guys pay days they wouldn’t have gotten any place else.

Debate how they're spending money all you want, but Walters consistently spends above the salary cap every year.

Bryant in 15
Harris in 16
Demski in 18
Biggie in 18
Jefferson in 19
Trade for Collaros in 19
Walters used to be a player in free agency and was willing to make trades and moves such as the above lead to the 2 cup wins and this era of success. The issue to me is keeping some guys too long, less success in the draft and not scouting quite as well.

I didn't see much that changed from his approach this off-season. He even stated that he's not changing just because we're hosting GC this year.
Yeah he let Lawler walk (not the first time) and yeah guys like Dobson (not the first OL to leave) & Ford (also not the first DB to leave) took off but that's the same approach he's always taken - it's not new to this past off-season yet history shows he spends to or past the cap. We won't know about this year until the spring.

Nope. Walters has exceeded the cap 2 of the last three seasons so he spends just as much, if not more, than most teams. How and where he chooses to spend, seems to be the bigger issue.

Doubt it. They didn't know until Wednesday that Ehlers wasn't coming back. Boeser signed on Tuesday.

There are much busier and more dangerous intersections - should we block those off to pedestrians? People can get hit on any street if they and/or the drivers aren't being careful, Portage and Main is no exception and shouldn't be treated like one.

Kayaking on Lake Flathead in Montana today and what do I find? A roughriders flag on a private pier:
So I grabbed some pebbles and left them a message:

Insert "I didn't even know he was sick" joke here
Seriously though, I recommend 5 or 6 months bedrest Jake. Can't be too careful with your health.
