    For the stats?  Stats Canada and if you don't feel like going through the massive stat sheets that they have then you can google search.     Seriously you've never heard Winnipeg being called Murder Capital of Canada before?   It's always a joke when the numbers come out between Winnipeg and Edmonton exchanging the title.

    I've always assumed that lots of players had back room deals with local companies...  I.E.  Take a smaller salary on the books with the club.... meanwhile Adam Bighill gets paid an additional large amount of money from his "part time" job in the city.

    Are we really arguing that Winnipeg isn’t a dump? I’ve travelled all over North America … I think in terms of individual cities, I’ve been to Phoenix, San Diego, Anaheim, Richmond, Philadelphia, Trenton, Baltimore, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Buffalo, New York City, Orlando, Tampa, Regina, Minneapolis, Grand Forks and Fargo in the past 5-ish years … the only places that are as much of a dump as Winnipeg are Baltimore and Edmonton. Sure, obviously some places were a quick visit. Some places you can chalk the experience up to oblivious innocence where I probably didn’t know any better. But for the most part, there’s a ton more to do/see without half the hassle in these places. 
    Even Buffalo, which I was expecting to be a total dump … their downtown is quiet with not a lot to do (like ours) but I didn’t get hassled by a homeless person once. There’s stuff to do. Probably the most comparable downtown to Winnipeg, honestly … just cleaner and less disruptive.
    I get the experiences won’t match because obviously the sample size is a lot larger in the city I reside in, but this place is a dump. Manitoba? Beautiful. Winnipeg? It’s a dump. It’s my dump, but it’s a dump.

    I'm not sure which games that people had sacks and who played and what not.  But from the naked eye Jeffcoat didn't look like a difference maker while Jefferson from the start of the season until the end was very noticeable on the field regardless if he registered sacks or not.   
    The amount of times he caused massive disruptions and the amount of times he had near sacks was very noticeable.  Sometimes stats don't tell the full story.

    The Riders had a terrible defense and were continously playing from behind so that is a slight modifier on why they were pass heavy.     Once again... they had Harris healthy for only a bit and were playing Dolegala and Fine who were not good at all.   Bane made some outstanding catches and Emilius was really solid and consistent.    

    I'd imagine people on here wouldn't be so ignorant to say that just because they hate the Riders that they default into saying every player on that team sucks and that they were over rated and stats are misleading etc...    
    It is perfectly fine to admit that they had talent at certain positions ,  we don't have to pretend that they sucked everywhere.

    Who did Bailey sign with?    If nobody offers him a deal the club could offer him a lowball deal to come back could they not?

    McLeod is usually quick and accurate,  the only issue I've had is that they over cook the cookies sometimes.     
    East St Paul has a good Subway that never has any lines and I've never had any hockey puck cookies at that location.

    In fairness I do remember someone on Ourbombers yelling Go Blue during a moment of silence at a Bomber game and trying to defend his actions on the site afterwards when people said "Not cool".    I forget the username but it was a younger guy.

    Are you new at following the CFL?   I remember years where the team barely had any familiar names come back.

    Tried out Kings on Sun Valley Road here in North Kildonan.    I'd say the shawarma was full of flavour and the meat was really tender and juicy.   The fries were a bit over seasoned so it's really salty.  Overall it's on the same level as Ramallah on Munroe and a good place to check out.
