  1. I'm guessing the only way this happens is if the two guys they brought into camp look bad then maybe at that point they bring back Piggy.
  2. Drew Willy Brian Brohm Robert Marve Dom Davis Max Hall Jason Boltus Justin Goltz Alex Brink RJ Archer Joey Elliott Buck Pierce Brandon Summers Zac Champion Steven Jyles Casey Bramlet Ricky Santos Bryan Randall Richie Williams Michael Bishop Stefan Lefors This is the list that I could come up with.... a whole lot of yikes. I also didn't realize that Brink/Elliott lasted three seasons with us. During this timeline... the only QB that had a good TD to INT ratio was Jyles with 19 TD - 7 ints. A really ugly time.
  3. I guess at this point it won't make a difference since downtown is completely dead Still a dumb idea.
  4. Do you have something in your past that you want to share? That's quite the odd stretching of what TBURGESS had said. Did you know that some women have made false claims of harassment/abuse/assault. It is possible. In the celebrity world just look at the Amanda Heard / Johnny Depp fiasco to see an example of a woman with zero reasons to make false claims as she is rich and famous.... yet she did out of hatred.
  5. I'd put the % of her being a crazy emotional woman wanting vengeance at quite a low percentage... but their is always a chance. I've seen enough videos online of crazy girlfriends using their cars to ram into an ex or them going to their work places and going ballistic to never say never.
  6. In fairness she could be mainly doing this for attention and/or to kill Kelly's reputation.
  7. It couldn't of been as bad as Jason Boltus bobbling the ball and fumbling it and cowering. The string of bad QB's we had after Bishop up until Willy/Nichols was the darkest days from my time watching the Blue.
  8. That was a perfect throw, I don't remember the rest of his play so I can't comment if he was fat and out of shape.
  9. My only memory is Tee Martin throwing a perfect dime to Peterson who had his man beat by a large margin only for Kamau to completely whiff on the catch. I then look at Martin with his shoulders dropping and all of the soul escaping his body.
  10. https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2024/02/26/ole-anderson-dead-at-81/
  11. It's in bad taste but far from RAGE inducing. Anyone who gets to a point of being RAGED by this should probably self reflect on why they get angry over the smallest things in life.
  12. Looks good with the exception of a name missing at the FB position 😭
  13. Are you trying to tell us that "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" and that in happens in real life.... Noooooooooooooo waaay!
  14. No thanks, I'd rather not drive out of my way to a Wendys only to find out that the prices are hiked up because they are busier. I'm pretty sure during the quiet periods that Wendys won't be knocking down the prices of the food items by a large %.
  15. With how vague they were on identifying the shooters for the longest time, I'm wondering if they are scared that if they are convicted that it might incite another BLM riot?
  16. The level of love for football in the States compared to the love for hockey in Canada is not even close. As times goes by and less people can afford Hockey and with Canada becoming more multi-cultural (i.e. immigrants with zero interest in hockey) , hockey is kind of slowly fading away from being a religion and into just another sport. In the States the people are still insane for football... when High School football teams in small tiny towns can outdraw the Argos by a large margin it's pretty indicative that the love for football up here isn't all that much.
  17. This is my point, we can't call the guy a scumbag criminal when so little of the facts is known. Same goes with the club. Unless he has admitted guilt.
  18. Has Kelly been convicted yet or admitted guilt? I am not a fan of the guy but I wouldn't quite call him a criminal until proven guilty. I wouldn't expect the Argonauts to go public about something that isn't out of the realm of possibility of being a complete lie. More information (or a court case) would be needed before truly reserving judgement. Now with Kenny Lawler it's black and white... the dude was caught drunk driving. Not much needed in that for proven guilt.
  19. It's not downtown and also that stretch is slowly fading away. A few of the business owners wanted to create more patios and more foot traffic but the locals in the area put up a stink against it because they didnt' want the increased noise at night.
  20. Very true! PTSD is a very real thing and it's not like men are immune to it.
  21. Winnipeg is a poor city, with inflation and the rising cost of everything it will be a forever challenge to fill those seats at those prices.
  22. Considering the internet has several public articles about Toronto hiring the first woman assistant strength coach for the team, it was only a 2 second google search to find the answer. After seeing the pictures of her I would more then likely wager that a narcissist like Chad Kelly would hit on a very beautiful young lady. I do agree @bluto that innocent until proven guilty and that she could just be trying to play victim and screw the company and him out of money. But if I were a betting man , I'd feel way more comfortable putting money on this being the truth.
  23. How does Toronto go from MBT to an even crazier guy?
  24. Significantly worse and this is why the City/Province is trying to force people to come back to work downtown. I can only speak looking in from an IT perspective, but with everything moving to the cloud and without the need of having IT equipment on site and the ability to staff your positions across the country (or world). The need for a physical building decreases every day. On one project that I was involved with they moved 100 staff out of a floor in a building downtown to work from home and the cost savings was approximately 5 million per year. It is so much cheaper for a company to buy desk/chair and pay for everyones internet then for them to maintain a building and the infrastructure. It needs a radical change, they need to make downtown an area that people want to hang out or preferably live in. They attempted to revive downtown in the 80's with Portage Place failed and retail now is even further dead so retail is out of the question. My radical idea to revitalize downtown is the following: 1 - Zero tolerance on public intoxication/drugs and pan handling harassment. It's absolutely critical that they crack down on this before anything else. Ideally the Federal Gov't/Provincial Gov't would update the justice system so rather then sending people to jail they would be forced to get clean at a rehab facility. Build a rehab facility out of town (NIMBY naturally) where people can get clean and healthy. I just came back from Mexico and when we went to the downtown for tourists I saw plenty of security and was approached by zero drunk/methed up people. I felt significantly more safe despite seeing a guy with an AK-47 protecting the jewelry store. 2 - Close down motor traffic on Broadway from Donald to Osborne from May - September or maybe even year round. Make this our version of Sparks St in Ottawa. Have street festivals and restaurants with extended patios in the summer. The city has loads of parking nearby and make this a place that people to visit and walk up and down the strip. 3 - All 3 levels of the Gov't work with buying Portage Place and making this a University of Winnipeg International students destination. From what I understand Portage place was designed so that condos/appartments can be build on top of each end. The U of M have a large amount of international students coming in with huge money behind them crowding into houses and attending schools. Get these students to come downtown with their big money and live in the housing that will be build atop Portage Place. It would be in close proximity to the current U of W and the injection of cash from young 18 - 30 year olds living downtown would be a huge boom that would help fill out all those empty buildings along Portage. 4 - Launch a new "touch the universe" / science museum / childrens / agriculture Manitoba museum. The current childrens museum we have is absolutely garbage. Over the last five years we visited a number of other childrens museums in the States that were heavily packed full of tourists and families. It wasn't like they were doing anything insanely expensive but had really fun interactive activities and educational. 5 or so years ago I was fortunate to attend the Opaskwayak Indigenous days and they had really neat little activities such as learning how to bead , cook, hunt, dance , etc... It's a huge miss opportunity to do something similar in town with fun interactive stations. They could have a section on farming with large interactive exhibits which many other childrens museum already have. Etc... A place to bring families to Winnipeg or into downtown for the local citizens. But alas all of that cost money and Winnipeg is broke and is extremely poor so it would require the Feds to pump in huge dollars. Instead the city will be to scared to fight the homeless/drunk/panhandling epidemic and will suggest cheap stupid ideas such as opening Portage and Main and will continue to stall on making any drastic changes and downtown will continue to rot. For fun I include a few pics of Sparks street to show what it is like:
