Week 11 - Blue Bombers (7-2) @ stumps(3-6) - GDT
Brandon replied to Wanna-B-Fanboy's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Paging JuranBoldenRules.... Dru Brown looked like how he did in the pre season this year, very tenative and he was extremely lucky that he had 2 sure fire ints dropped and could of had another ball easily picked off. The guy is a work in process but had a terrible outing tonight, I wouldn't blame Buck or the o-line for his telegraphed throws. That being said... Dakota Prukop WTF are you doing out there tonight? Seriously this wasn't a high pressure game and these mistakes could of killed us. Tonight was just weird all around... Brady is dominating and we get into the red zone and don't even try to hand it off to him? The refs were all over the place, some ticky tacky calls and some blatant big time calls completely missed. Maier's first long bomb in the game clearly showed Jeffcoat being manhandled and held and yet no call? Wilson and Nichols were amazing all night long, Houston makes two great plasy but gets burned on three other plays for big time gains for Calgary. People dump on McCrae for his mediocre returns... on offense however the dude is lightning and great. Calgary drops a sure fire TD, Maier under throws many guys, Michel over acts on his one big catch despite being invisible for the whole game, just all around awful performance by them also. This was ugly, hopefully this is a one off. -
1 - Brady 2 - Kyrie Wilson was amazing same with Nichols. 3 - D line was surprisingly good despite not getting much in the way of sacks. HH - Castillo Lots of people will say Houston... the pick 6 was amazing and without that we would of lost. HOWEVER the dude was burned on at least 3 long bombs... another jekyl and hyde performance by the guy. Most annoying - The constant talk about the 25 year anniversary of the Grey Cup game... they missed out on lots of big plays and why would they keep talking about it and showing the kick with only a few minutes left in a tight game? That was bad.

Prukop can pass, his arm isn't an issue. -
LOL fair point! I think he looks more like this guy:

Bombers @ Stamps : Week of Aug 18 Thread
Brandon replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I was saying it in jest... I've only seen him block and the only positive I've heard was that he was a Navy Seal. I don't understand why he's in. -
If it was all about doing the right thing and morality then every forest and every lake would have to be searched and that would cost billions of dollars. At some point you have to be fiscally responsible. People would be shocked to find out how many people are missing/kidnapped/murdered around the province every year. I remember going to Cross Lake 5 or so years ago and they were having issues with missing teens and were losing several every month with many of them going missing and commiting suicide and the reserve having no idea because the area is considerably remote and with all the surrounding water bodies can transport anywhere. It is a needle in a haystack with finding anyone if they are in the wilderness.

Bombers @ Stamps : Week of Aug 18 Thread

Navy seal and grit and blocks... -
As a political move its a terrible move for him to vocally support it. Had he said that he would put 200 million into health care which 99% of people would be in favor it would of helped him with the swing votes. Instead he tries to satisfy a really small vocal minority which in the end will alienate him from many on the fence PC voters.
-
I see you have not read the other thread where Noeller said "Now say it with me" and then lectured someone.
-
Nope accurate representation, the moment he said he would support searching the landfill the majority of NDPers on that site were saying he's blown it and immediately started talking about who can replace him. That would be losing it considering they had never spoken ill of him or even mentioned him being replaced. Lots of upset folks getting over emotional about what he said which indeed is the definition of losing it. Over time they will cool off up until he loses the election and then they will freak out again.

Now say it with me ... "It's not nice to call someone a serial killer based on how they look".

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
Brandon replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Absolutely hilarious and I had a good laugh at what you wrote here. I took a minute and I'm still debating if I'm now interacting with an incel or just someone who is just very odd. Either way yes it is normal for men to look at women and at times say they are attractive. I'm somewhat certain that physical beauty is still a thing in this world. Either way Chris Streveler is a handsome man and his girlfriend is also very attractive. They make a nice couple and hopefully he brings her back to Winnipeg once ZC hangs it up and Strevolution continues with the Blue Bombers. -
I can almost (99%) guarantee that those workers don't see any tips. I remember reading about how several Tim Hortons in Vancouver were in trouble a few years back for hiring foreign workers, paying them below minimum wage, forcing them to use their pay to give the owner money for their workers permits and rent. Basically they took advantage of the foreign worker benefits that companies can use and made them slave labourers. In Canada!! It's insane, I'm in favour of no tipping and places paying a better wage. That being said when the South Park creators bought the real Casa Bonita and eliminated tips and gave everyone a $30 per hour wage the staff complained! https://www.mensjournal.com/news/south-park-creators-casa-bonita-labor-dispute

CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Brandon replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We also need to point out that he is playing behind the best o line with the best rb and best set of receivers in the league. I'd only get rid of ZC if he gets so banged up that he becomes a liability or a shell of his former self like the last season we had Khari or the last two years of Matt Nichols. -
The PCs are laughing as over the last few weeks Wab has damaged his own self saying he will support searching the landfill and his plan with apprenticeships with trades people. The Winnipeg subreddit which is mostly diehard NDP'ers were losing it and are scared now that he has killed his chance and think that he'll get the boot if they lose. It will be an interesting election that's for sure. Sadly for the wrong reasons since every leader is a joke and in the end Manitoba loses no matter who wins.

I don't believe Subway has a mandatory tip, I have seen while on the road a few locations that requires you to click "other" to enter in a $0.00 tip which is shady AF. Ridiculous that they try to dupe people rather then paying employees a higher wage.

CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Brandon replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
So I'd like to assume that once Jones is fired that no other team in the CFL would hire the guy ever again? -
Went earlier in the summer and thought the place should have better signage since I wouldn't have a clue on what it had inside had I not googled nearest Ice cream store after going to Roxie's. Extremely limited candy selection and minimal ice cream selection, I wouldn't go back. If I were them I'd re-do the signage to make it clear that they have ice cream and candy and I'd load up on the misc candy similar to bulk barn. Had they the basics like gummies and swedish berries or various lolli's we would of bought a lot. The arcade was closed off when we went so I don't know what they have down in the basement.

Friday Night from La Belle Province Takes on The Gap
Brandon replied to rebusrankin's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Even if the Riders fire Dickie during the off season... who are they going to get to replace him? I don't think a guy like Pierce would want to enter in such a terrible situation. Do they bring back LaPo for another run? -

So finding a woman attractive equals thinking they are an object? Say it with me now: Your thought process is not of a normal male. -
Week 10 - Blue Bombers (6-2) @ LOLks (0-8) - GDT
Brandon replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
100% , folks need to cool the jets on him for now. Hopefully this continues but I do remember him in this pre season struggling to make basic plays against 3rd string CFL'ers. But then again as I said to JuranBoldenRules .... Crum destroyed the Bombers in only a quarter so in the CFL game who knows what anything means these days. -
Week 10 - Blue Bombers (6-2) @ LOLks (0-8) - GDT
Brandon replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Are you suggesting that the level of talent on the field during a CFL game surpasses the level of talent in an NFL pre season game? The answer is no. If you want me to find a game where a back up came back from a large deficit.... Crum coming back from a 19 point deficit in the 4th quarter against the Bombers in the CFL this year. The guy is playing with a lot of sub par talent against the premiere defense of the league and made it look easy. Crum also sucks massively and had one good night where the stars aligned and I'd never want him to be on our team. Brown I hope and am sure is nothing like Crum, but before annointing him as better then a Bomber legend, maybe pump the brakes and don't set his bar as of today as an elite player just yet. -

Brandon replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I know his actual game playing time was limited, but during his 2022 pre season dream run and the limited times he's seen the field he was primarily passing. The NFL doesn't bring up guys strictly to run sneaks and trick plays. Strev has all the physical tools and 5 years ago he was able to get on the field and make quick decisions and place balls in areas where only the receivers could catch while in stride. I would only imagine hes improved with top tier training so he'd be even better then what we saw back in the day. I also wouldn't say "never" put up a game like this, I'm pretty sure a Grey Cup winning QB who has gone to the NFL for 3- 4 years can come back and put up a great game. We've seen flash in the pan QB's in this league put up big numbers with far inferior talent surrounding them and also not playing against the worst team possibly in CFL history. I hope Brown keeps it up because last season he did show well and I was somewhat worried since he looked bad in this years pre season. I'm also hoping that he doesn't show too well and Edmonton or Ottawa do not offer him a massive contract to start for them whenver his contract is up. It would be nice to have a future plan at QB who can take over once ZC calls it quits (assuming that Strev doesn't come back to the CFL).
