It's the effort and performance of underdog players like Bailey and Woli that help put and keep a team on top of the standings, the more quality players of this caliber a team has the better the results. Consider it the equivalent of having a solid 3rd line in hockey.
Dominant players do not play on the 3rd line in hockey.
Role players/ depth players are good to have but cannot get paid the same as 1st liners. Role players and depth players are also significantly easier to find then all-stars.

Red Lobster has Hush Puppies as a side menu item for a limited time.....I tried them and they were kind of unremarkable I mean I'm glad I tried them but I don't think I would order something like that again
Get them soon, Red Lobster may be filing for bankruptcy any day now from losing money on the endless shrimp promotion.

Pretty upsetting when dominant performers like Grant, Bailey and Jeffcoat are given up on mainly because there's no money leftover to pay them close to what they deserve.
Bailey was not a dominant player, he was a solid and reliable guy but never a guy that I'd think would be a hall of famer.
Jeffcoat is several years past his prime and on a downturn with his injuries. Far from dominant on a consistent basis.
Grant is a dominant returner and he will be missed.

I know my dad is missing a place to get a good rouladen.
St Pierre used to have a great home made place called Oma's that sadly also closed down.
I've had a co worker who has gone to Winkler and tried out Ralph's German Restaurant and said that it was authentic and really good. They also appear to have Rouladen.

Honest? What do we really know about Mufasa? Besides being the King of Pride Rock and father to Simba? And brother to Scar
I was more so thinking that the trailer had the same music, the same shots of a young lion standing on the rock looking over the land, rafiki, same shot of baby lion running between the legs of a stampede of animals, what I assume is Timon and Pumba.... it looks very samesies as the Lion King.
I'll be curious if it will be another movie that people will just wait for it is free on Disney Plus and if they'll go see Sonic 3 instead?

No, none of those. Just the CFL's way of thinking. Of just being the same league & doing the same thing. I'm no marketing expert, but there has to be a way to grow the league economically.
It's tough, Football is more of an "old man" sport so with each year the audience of people who love the CFL purely for the game shrinks. I think what Wade is doing is the absolute best tactic of trying to bring in young people and families for the gameday experience. Over time maybe they can build some fans of the sport.
When it comes to the tv/streaming audience it's really a tough challenge with the massive amounts of different entertainment options for the average person to select from. The XFL showed that gimmicks is not enough to build a large audience. You said that all the other leagues have grown exponentially , which isn't true as I showed in my list above. The NBA/NFL/MLB/UFC have global appeal and billions of dollars backing them so they can tackle the untapped markets and make even more money. How can the CFL compete with the NFL in doing the same? Not going to happen and they won't be able to tap into the US market either.
Long story ... it is what it is.

I don't know. The characters look blah. Traditional animation is so much more vibrant and expressive. Disney needs to go back to their roots. Or at least make it more cartoony if they are set on CGI.
I honestly thought it was a trailer for the 2019 Lion King movie, did they really need a Mufasa movie?
I'll be curious to see if it does as well as the 2019 which made a billion plus dollars. The last many live action remakes have lost money for Disney and they've basically written off Snow White and it's 250 million dollar budget. They need this one to succeed.

Anyone try Sam's on Ness?
I did a few years back, it was good but more of a Canadian diner with some German influence in the dishes. Mostly variations of schnitzels with fries.

Shocked Chi-Chi's not make the list.
It was a chain restaurant that was across North America so not really special to only Winnipeg.
I was surprised that Gasthaus Gutenburger wasn't on the list. That place is sorely missed and Winnipeg definitely could use a real german restaurant.

I think in 10 to 15 years the CFL will be no more. There appears to be no growth possibilities. Especially with the Commissioner we have now. When it's 2024 & he biggest growth was the merger of the WIFU & IRFU to form the 9 team CFL in 1958 then things don't look great. Every other pro league have grown exponentially since. We may be the last generation of fans who care.
XFL.... XFL 2.0.... Arena Football League..... USFL.....
Or are we comparing the little old CFL with billion dollar leagues like MLB, NFL, NBA?

Bc lost fewer players than we did and did a better job, for now. replacing them.
ie lost Betts > Robertson
Rhymes> Stanback (giving them more balance)
Whitehead .> Mcinnis
Edward -Cooper > Ciante Evans
Baron > Richardson
We were neck and neck with them in the standing most of the year, whether we repeat will depend on our recruiting
I think Stanback is completely shot, he's not the same guy as he was 3 - 4 years ago. That is a big drop off.

I'm hearing that the old starbucks location at Kildonan crossing is going to be a Press'd Sandwich location.....why would they DO THAT WHEN THERE'S A FIREHOUSE SUBS THAT'S GOING TO BE OPENING A FEW STEPS AWAY?
and I checked the menu it seems underwhelming
I assume they didn't know before signing the lease, sometimes the process takes over a year before builds are commenced.
I looked at the the Press'D web page for the other location, you are correct those sandwiches look underwhelming. Not as nice as Cha-chi's and more like a fancier version of the sandwiches you can get at a gas station.

People don’t even call weed pot anymore. Last time I heard it called pot was 25 years ago and by people who have no clue. You’re quite ignorant on the subject it appears tho and pretty much don’t have a clue.
The term Pot heads was cool 26 years ago when this movie came out!

honestly I'm surprised there wasn't a deathbed confession
He already did.. the balls of the guy to make a book saying "if I did it"....
That guy was scum and had they not had the Rodney King stuff a few years before then OJ would of certainly went to jail for the murders.

I don't think wrongful dismissal is ever a criminal matter, is it?
Definition of throw the books -
informal: to punish (someone) as severely as possibleThe term doesn't necessarily need to be used in context as a criminal matter.1 hour ago, HardCoreBlue said:What the actual *uck are you saying here?
Jeebus I hate the internet. Yea I get it, if I don't like it, don't read it. Great, thanks for the advice.
Are you not familiar with how message boards work and how people voice their opinions? Did you want to write down a list of what you want to read so that everyone can follow a template? To dumb it down since you can't comprehend, I said Chad is an idiot , but being an idiot shouldn't equal him being severely punished either by the league or legally or anywhere based on what has been presented so far.
-
Chad sounds like the stereotypically "Chad".
That being said as annoying and stupid as he is, I don't see enough based on what is written in the article to throw the books at the guy. Sounds like a cocky athlete with a bruised ego who threw a hissy fit. While embarrassing , it's not criminal.

@Brandon you can always move. I don’t think ppl would miss your **** attitude.
My attitude of having concern of the sharp increase of crime and violent crimes? Was it that I provided facts that you cannot dispute?
That's a weird take?

But meth heads are killing other meth heads. Surely that’s not happening in every city in North America daily. Oh? It is. No kidding huh. Who would have thought.
As of 2022 - Winnipeg has the highest rate of homicides and by a large margin compared to the other large cities in Canada. Also Winnipeg/Manitoba has seen the largest increase in crimes once again by a much larger margin compared to the other provinces.
I'd say it's been a noticeable change in recent years. I also wouldn't compare us to the States since it's not an apples to apples comparison.
