Do you remember he ever practicing though? Like this year I mean
-
Sayles will have a day then! Does anyone know what's up with Jeffcoat? Has he practiced at all even in TC?
-
I'm really pulling for JA to be day 1 starter for the Bombers. Guy deserves it!
-
Dunk is simply doing what he's paid to do....create stories. There's nothing to what he said in that article.

I'm fairly sure Nichols led the league in Deep ball completions in 2019 before his injury. People have a weird memory. Nichols is a legend afaic and was maybe the biggest key to the Bombers getting over the hump to become a winning franchise. Collaros has brought things to another level though. Strev is a decent enough passer. I don't put too much on his mistakes throwing because that's what young QB's do for the most part. I'd be more than happy to have him back. -
I would switch Hamilton and MTL but otherwise I completely agree.

Congratulations on making our point. IF your business can not pay a livable wage it 100% should fail. I've not run my own business, but I've worked for small businesses. I've also been in positions where I had to let people go because we couldn't afford to pay them a livable wage.

One more thing, the first riders TD pass. The ref in the back of the endzone called PI...they didn't discuss it at all during the game, but holy hell was that ever a bad call. The defender barely touched him, certainly didn't do anything to impede his ability to catch the ball. I couldn't believe they called that one. -

I thought both QB's ended up showing quite well. I don't know what people were expecting exactly (you know with the roster around them). I was totally on board with Brown as the #2, but man did Prukop ever come out in the 2nd half and make some plays. Prukop impressed me more than Brown in the 2nd half. But I think Brown still has the edge due to his style of play. Would suck to lose a guy as athletic as Prukop though. And yes I know, the Bombers will be in tough if Collaros gets hurt...welcome to pro football. The only team that will actually get better with an injured starter is CGY, everyone else is just hoping the young guys can hold on. MTL is hoping Harris can some how figure out how to score points... Also I'm not at all sold on Thompson as the safety. Guy can hit like a truck, but much like Loffler, seems to be a step too late to actually break up the play. Alexander can't get healthy fast enough. -

He talked about keeping his eyes down field and dumping the ball off more during the post game interview, he's already doing that too. He has really impressed me this year. -

Yeah he's not keeping his eyes down field either. Two reads and then he goes -

That 2nd drop was tough, but still need to bring those in. That 1st ball...yeah he played that weird. I'll be blown away if he doesn't make the cut, but he's got a lot of talent lining up behind him -

When Walker was rushing in, he straight up head butts him. It's the first contact made. That was the flag. -

No he still called it wrong. There was helmet to helmet contact on that qb sack. -

Was helmet to helmet. Was brief, but the right call. The announcers missed it. It wasn't the tackle that caused it. -

Brown looking solid so far. Great choices, solid pocket awareness. -
Tell me how horribly places with higher wages are doing compared to Winnipeg? You have the rest of Canada to compare us to, Winnipeg/MB must be absolutely killing it compared to the rest of the nation. Again, you're speaking as if Winnipeg isn't influenced by the globe. And we are. Until that changes, wages have to increase. If your business can not keep up, that is super shitty. If you'd like to change it, we need to start kicking global competitors out of our economy. That is quite literally the only solution, well I suppose you could also convince the rest of the world to pay liveable wages....but after that...anything else is just a band aid. oh i should also add, in a capitalist society (because BOOO Socialism) businesses fail all the time and are replaced by better ones. So if we're going to play make believe in the way we think our economy works. If you're business fails, it's your fault and you should start another with a better business plan.

This only works if we don't live in a global economy. When you apply it to the real world, the one we live in right now, keeping wages low = more poverty and that's it. Regardless of any new corporations coming to town to create jobs, regardless of any money pumped into industry etc etc. None of that matters. Raising the wage will force some out of business, that's unfortunate, but also the way it's supposed to go in this "capitalist" society we have. If your business can not change with the times, sorry, time to move on. Now turning the economy back into an industrial one, or one where it's based on what Canada creates for Canada would be great. But again, in a global economy, that is never going to happen. Not without huge (likely tragic) events taking place. So again, it's good but there's no way in hell I'm making people wait for that to occur. also, "draconian socialist government" as a phrase doesn't make sense. I'd like you to actually look up what socialism is. I'll give you a head start, if you're reading something that says socialist governments can be draconian, you should find another source.

As per our great premier, our wages have to stay competitive! Can't be raising wages all willy nilly. How will CEOs eat?

I could see Pipkin in SSK and or BC. Maybe even OTT.
