  1. 44 years old. I'd be at the "young" end of the scale when it comes to people who are a fan of the CFL itself.
  2. I don't think he was, the issues I was referring to were him falling out of favour with his coaches. Locker room distractions , questionable effort, mentally checked out etc....
  3. https://www.bbc.com/sport/golf/articles/cedx839vlyeo
  4. It was a thing... they had that one Eskimo player who went viral for a while. Tik Tok is aimed at pre teens and lonely house wives... it doesn't need to be a CFL thing. Print media is also completely dead, same goes with digital news media. We are in the age that people get their news/opinions primarily by social media influencers. Unfortunately the CFL is an old white man sport , so it's not going to really get any traction on social media as well.
  5. He had character issues prior to the signing and then couldn't make the field more then likely because of his attitude and then gets arrested afterwards. The club "was" known for keeping and signing guys with good character (Lawler being the exception in the last few years).
  6. I thought this club hired and retained high character guys?
  7. I don't understand the "hate" for people going South for winter and how it is related to domestic flights being expensive. I don't believe airlines are subsidizing flights to Mexico by charging more to folks wanting to travel back and forth from Calgary? The only hate should be Air Canada taking billions from our Gov't and yet still outsourcing most of the jobs and charging customers top dollar for mediocre services. Me thinks you are in a time warp and think that it is the 80's where a family could travel via car for an affordable rate while only the rich and upper class can fly to Mexico. These days it's the opposite, our family road trips that we take are extremely expensive in comparison for the value that we have when we fly to Mexico. I've encountered several people in my life who didn't understand going South for winter.... until they went one time and then realized how great it is and after going once couldn't wait until they could go back again. Many of them regretted waiting so many years until going. Leaving Winnipeg in -30 weather and arriving somewhere tropical and getting that blast of hot +25 humid air as you leave the plane is sublime.
  8. Inflation has hit the States big time over the last few years. It was really expensive for us travelling in Spring where food and lodging was pricier then in Canada.
  9. In this video for the last TD.... can the Blue sign the receiver Malik Turner? That juke and speed was real nice! Perkins in that TD run it was hilarious on how bad those defenders froze and watched him... if that is a representation of the talent in the UFL then yikes.
  10. What is the reason for the high prices this season? My inlaws have said that everything is ridiculously pricey and I assume it cannot be from people avoiding Jamaica and going elsewhere?
  11. Only enough room for one Thomas on this team!
  12. People are insane for wanting Brady and Holm to be gone.... seriously why would you dump young Canadian all stars? It's almost like fans are wanting this team to be dead last? Cut the old guys with big salaries if you want to trim the fat.
  13. If I remember correctly he also had a really really bad fumble.
  14. With our justice system he will get a reduced sentence with time served and 2 years probation. That is if we are lucky. Usually it's released with promise to appear and a very light sentence.
  15. Lol so if we load up every position only then will Zach be serviceable? Nearly any qb would thrive with an all star cast surrounding them.
  16. Pizza 73 used to be independent until Pizza Pizza bought them out to get a quick expansion out west. It used to be really good back in the day.
  17. More like if we didn't cheap out on a kicker, didn't field injured guys who became liabilities, and if Zach could play even half decent considering his salary we would have more cups.
  18. Ford was a wild over payment amd we were good since we have depth in our secondary. Lawler the first time he left was a wild over payment. The last time it was questionable because it seemed like we were not far away from what we offered. Also questions on Schoen coming back and lots of assumptions that we wouldn't lose much productivity since Schoen is back. Dobson it was more like "We have Eli" who can replace him. I dont remember anything about money with Dobson.
  19. Shopping malls can be a premium place for renting. I've known a few people who have had stores and kiosks in malls and a place that is desirable (St Vital) is very expensive. Renting a space in a strip mall can be 1/4 of the price.
  20. Did you not see the video where 2 guys on camera walk in to the convenience store and poured gas and lit the place up. All on camera. Also lol at the cell phone tracing. I'm pretty sure the arsonist isn't going to leave his cell phone number at the scene of the crime for the police to track him.
  21. MOP a year ago... the whole offense falls completely when he isn't given the touches. NI and local guy and in his prime. You pay him top dollars no questions asked. If you need money maybe save on overspending on import guys who are injury prone (i.e. Schoen/Strev).
  22. Willie has a role... but the problem is that every season he acts as his own agent and believes that he is the #1 guy in the league. The drop off this season was considerable and I don't think him taking a hair cut on a deal is going to work. Some other team will offer him beaucoup dollars. I'm just hoping that we have fresh blood as an OC (someone who at least has a positive track record and not a complete unknown) and no more C level guys being signed to sit on a bench. We need 2 - 3 difference makers.
  23. Downtown is completely full of meth heads everywhere. It doesn't mean they are the ones starting fires. Usually the meth heads start fires in encampments that get out of control. Plus they have video of that one convenience store where two guys came in with gas canistars and lit the place up.
