  1. Wow, Pat White. I was dreaming about having him up here years ago. He is definitely one hell of an athlete. I think he played baseball after the first time his NFL dream came to an end. The guy can run; he posted a 4.55 in the 40yd sprint
  2. I don't have the ticket stubs to confirm, but I'm 99% sure this was the first Jets game I saw when I was 8 years old. http://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/199301100WIN.html Waaaaay up in the nosebleeds, second row from the top I'm pretty sure. Teemu scored! I can remember people saying that without Mario Lemieux on the ice the Penguins weren't worth a damn. A few days later Lemieux announced he had to take time off to witness the birth of his child fight cancer. I honestly don't remember my first Bomber game. Football was a sport everyone in my family loved that I just never understood. Never saw the appeal until I was old enough to play. Alas, my fragile bird bones were having none of that...
  3. I can confirm that at times this hometown crowd can barely bridle their blitheness in booing our bumbling bomber brigade.
  4. My dad told stories about him and his buddies riding their bikes all the way from North Kildonan to the Dairy Whip on Marion (he called it 'Mikes Dairy Whip', I suppose after the owner at the time?). I have to say they make a really good chili burger. I also recommend 'The Burger Place' at Portage and Rutland; get a double-deluxe with cheese and a poutine if you like fat-boy style burgers, long naps, and have little regard for your own well being.
  5. Ossama AbouZeid He was the interim CEO prior to Buchko, and continued in his role a stadium project manager when Buchko arrived on the scene. He is now on the board of directors.
  6. Who eats pizza with a fork and knife. Psshhh...you girl. And stop changing your name...for a while I was like...where did that guy come from. Ya weirdo. And gondola is good, I like that too. When the guy from Qo'nos calls you weirdo it should be taken as a compliment . I changed it to match my twitter handle, but since I discovered how much twitter sucks I'm considering changing back.
  7. I''m partial to Sargent Sundae and a stroll across the walking bridge to Assiniboine Park, but then I'm a St James boy through and through
  8. I have been Santa Lucia fan for some time, but I recently tried Gondola pizza... wow, was that ever good! Not over-heaped with toppings like at Santa Lucia, so you don't have to eat it with a fork and knife. I think it's the sauce that makes it stand out to me. And they have this in-house shredded salami salad with oil and vinegar dressing... to die for. I strongly recommend Gondola next time you do delivery.
  9. I hope Ottawa never folds again, as I too would like to see a 10 team league at some point. I think an even better question is: Who wins the cup first? Winnipeg or Ottawa?
  10. Considering the sort of abuse Goossen was handing out in his highlight reel, that won't be the worst thing that happens to us this season.
  11. RG is already etching Marve's name onto his replica Grey Cup
  12. I'm sure he will, and that's got to factor in to the decision to let him go in the first place. I don't recall if we let Vega out of his contract a little early, but he came right back to Winnipeg with positive things to say upon his return.
  13. Crazy talk! Tim Burke has been and will likely continue to be among the best DC's in the league. 4 consecutive seasons in the GC, winning two of them? Our most successful season in the past 5 years was the one year he was our DC from start to finish. BUT... the situation in Winnipeg would never have worked for Burke or the Bombers. Nobody wants to get unceremoniously demoted and told to work for the next guy in line, and the incoming staff wanted to show they were heading in a completely new direction; that meant shedding basically the entire coaching staff, including Burke.
  14. Do you know where I can get some good sunglasses? In my defense, those were some pretty impressive deals
  15. I thought the argument is that he shouldn't be released because there is a chance he could re-offend. But drunk drivers do get released from jail once they've served their time. To borrow an idea from Iso, can anyone guarantee these guys won't get wasted and hop behind the wheel the moment they get the chance?
  16. Personally, I'd like to go back to carrying around swords on our hips. Less innocent bystanders that way. That and I was a fencer in high school, so I think I'd have... an edge
  17. Maybe it's a shitty comparison but I'll throw it out there anyways as I feel there are some legit parallels... if Lisa Gibson were found alive suffering from shock and severe post partem depression, would some of you be advocating that she be locked up indefinitely? Or was her crime not 'grisly' enough to warrant such treatment?
  18. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge You can thank me after
  19. Do you know where I can get some good sunglasses? I feel like I'm missing something here...
  20. Not gonna lie .. I read this as @dog_fart .. That was exactly my intention It's not some unfortunate typo
