Very interesting interview, he confirms that AEW is a mess and opens up about what happened with him.

man, the stuff that has come out against Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon makes me sick that me and my daughter and her mom enjoyed some of those shows together. Sam and Cat, iCarly, several others. Just disgusting. Like puff daddy disgusting. Heck puffy was even on one of those shows. They were grooming kids man. Not cool and now everyone’s favorite celebrity or musician is probably doing the same. wtf. How is this even allowed to happen.
Is this a bad time to say that Hollywood has been doing this since the beginning? It was worse in the 30's - 50's where they pilled up young girls and did unimaginable things with them. Read about the Wizard of Oz and what they did with Judy Garland it's insane.
Same with the music industry. look at people like Steven Tyler in the old days taking a 14 year old on tour with him and yet people never really gave a crap this many years later.
Nearly every place of entertainment has some sort of black cloud covering it. Sadly money hides lots of horrible behaviours.

They're both french.
Bougie in french is candle but in english, both spellings are used for the essentially the same slang (derived from the French word bourgeoisie).
Only a boomer would google search the origins of Boujee

Hey I complimented Selkirk and Gimli
They are both very lovely places to spend an afternoon at!

I keep reading about knife attacks and what not, but every time the wife and I are home we say "when we move back, we're gonna spend a lot of time at the Common... especially in the summer..." and probably fish around there a fair bit, too, I think.....
We went to the Childrens Museum a few weekends ago with other couples and children and outside of the Forks area was still sketchy. Homeless camps and questionable people wandering around that I wouldn't feel safe. Within the Forks it was very busy and a nice mix of all ages and types of people. The food court is really good at the Forks , above average offerings and it's a decent atmosphere. Was only accosted by one methed out dude but thankfully he wasn't aggressive. Talking with the other parents they hadn't been to the Forks in a long while because of the safety concerns from the frequent attacks and were all perhaps reconsidering since this visit wasn't all that terrible.
The next day I get sent this link:
Missed the incident by only 30 minutes, but once again re-affirmed why the area sucks and even more reason why I won't be bringing my family back at the Forks anytime soon.
As for your comment, I have several friends and even myself at one point who had moved away and then either misremember Winnipeg or see it through nostalgia-glasses... but they all romanticize coming back to the Peg. Usually it goes away after coming back for a few weeks and the honeymoon period wears off. Fishing at the Forks in theory makes perfect sense... unfortunately the more likely result will be trying it out and getting tired of always looking over your shoulder and never being able to relax and you ending up with everyone else going to lockport , Selkirk, or Gimli where you can relax and have a nice safe and peaceful fishing experience.

There are lots of new developments, apartments and whatnot. It's booming down there.
That would be an extreme exaggeration. A more accurate description would be "after many years of nothing, the area is slowly seeing some movement in development".
The only areas that are booming are the burbs closer to the perimeter where a crap tonne of development is still being done and I have no idea who are buying up all those condos and townhouses.

condos/apartments at the Forks... very interesting.
The idea makes sense... unfortunately the area has had a drastic increase in violent crimes so I'm not sure if the desire for folks wanting to move in that area is all that high.

CTE don’t make you load a gun and kill yourself. We have lots of reserves here in Manitoba. I’ve been to several. Camping and one time a friend of mine gave us a tour of his reserve, Simon was from a reserve and if anybody has ever been to one, I think ppl might understand that the mental issues start there. It’s a sad sad thing to see. It’s just the fact he made it out and to the nhl is amazing.
This is an insane take.
Have you never heard of Chris Benoit? I've met several people (mostly wrestlers) and MMA/Kickboxers with CTE and it is very obvious that some of them cannot process or think properly and have something very off with them.
I've also visited nearly every reserve in Manitoba numerous times and what you are saying is something completely different. Some reserves are fantastic and others remind me of the original Mad Max movies. For the bad ones usually it has rampant corruption within the reserve where they maintain terrible traditions or behaviours such as pimping out girls when they are 8 years old to friends/family, lots of alchoal and abuse, lots of extreme neglect, all while the bad people are protected by the elders. Lots of suicides are a result from extreme depression and extreme abuse without being able to escape because everything is covered up. MMIWG exists because nearly every case is someone within the reserve committing the crime with others covering for each other. It's really sad. Suicides in reserves are primarily with younger people , I remember 5 or so years ago visiting a reserve where they had an epidemic where 20+ teens committed suicide over the course of one summer. Naturally the news never covered it.
Usually for the people who can escape these places and find success in life do not commit suicide when they are 50+. It seems far more plausible that CTE would be the reason. Many times it is a vicious cycle where someone is in extreme pain from the CTE so they take drugs and the cycle continues to a point where they are so messed that they usually OD.

with Nolan directing.... let's ******* go!! Bond movies are almost always great (to varying levels)... the Craig movies are all at least GOOD, if not incredible. I am always down for a Bond movie every 5 years or so...
Nolan already denied doing the next one, he wants to do films with more creative freedom.

Why? Bond when done right is a fun movie.
I hope the rumours are true that they want to do the next series of Bond movies set in the 60's.

UFC would still be big on the prairies, wouldn't it? I mean. their PPV's are always a huge success. Quick question, does Mike Tyson have a chance against Luke Paul on July 20th? Should any State or Provincial Boxing Association sanction a fight between a 29 year old & a 58 year old?
MMA/UFC was hot in Winnipeg but I believe after the incredibly dull UFC 161 it burned the city. The 2nd time they came back the ticket sales were terrible and they had to paper the show to help fill up the place. UFC will never come back to Winnipeg.
Locally we had shows but it is far to expensive to run shows at the Convention Center or the arena. You can still watch amateur fights but it's not quite the same.
Mike Tyson/Jake Paul is more then likely fake/fixed similar to some of Paul other previous fights. I would not watch this without expecting it to be a spectacle.
1 hour ago, itchy said:I'm President of a Beer collectibles club, with a basement full of stuff.
I mostly collect beer tap handles and have about 450 displayed, along with neon and LED signs, tin signs, rare bottles, keg fridge- anything beer or Crown Royal related. I also have 7 arcade machines and a virtual pinball machine down there.
Needless to say, a popular place for poker nights or family get togethers.
Pictures?
Also did you DIY the Virtual Pinball machine? I was planning on make one and wasn't sure if it was worth going all out with the shakers and the IR sensors that detect where you are standing to help give the 3d perspective on the play field.

He wants to own part of the team he plays for. Yeah, right. Dream on.
That's such an insane request , I think in the history of the NFL maybe Brady could of made that kind of request and nobody else?

Which is true, but says far more about the quality of qbs currently in the cfl than anything else.
Honestly Brady Oliveira saved collaros' ass last season. If Brady didn't get rolling collaros didn't have the same ability to carry the offense he did a few years ago.
I found Lawler/Schoen were larger factors in bailing him out with amazing catches.
Zach wasn't bad but he definitely has taken a few steps back in overall play. I'm not sure if it was a direct result in having lesser pass protection then from a few years ago.

Trevor Harris is 6'3 215 lbs and he gets hurt frequently as well. I don't think size is the issue.
What will be an issue is going from a well oiled machine running on full cylinders to a team that for the last few years has been in a haze and completely dysfunctional.
It makes a huge difference for a QB when he isn't continously under pressure, having to frequently go 2nd and long, receivers dropping balls or running bad routes etc....
Does Dru Brown have so much talent that he can elevate the mess around him, I don't think so. Hopefully Ottawa makes the right changes to at least give the guy a chance. -

Probably considering Ehlers isn’t a ufa and has 2 years left.
Ok in 2 years if the Jets were to trade Ehlers assuming he had 43 points at that point of the season people would flip out. Is that better? Most Ottawa fans are not satisfied with the return which was low.

1 billion.... that's insane.

Is it 5 years ago?
No but trading away a 41 point scorer for a 3rd and 4th round pick is a steal. I'd imagine if the Jets were to trade away Ehlers for the same return that people here would flip out.

Wow what a terrible return for Ottawa, I'm shocked that they couldn't of got more for him.

You are not missing out on anything. We used to buy lunch mates and similar things for our daughter for lunches and then realized they taste awful, heavily processed, and are over priced. It's much better and cheaper to just buy real meat and cheese and DIY.
