  1. Cue the Jade Etienne Comeback at age 27. Sheppard better be ready to give the #88 jersey back.
  2. Doug Brown consistently took on the double team, and then won the battles.
  3. I'm guessing at Fargo as he tweeted about buying a home there.
  4. Aisle seats are nice, but my opinions have changed that I know like the middle of the row. 1. You don't have people in your row making you stand and/or interrupting the game. 2. The people walking up and down the aisle are never in your viewpoint. 3. You can walk out to your left, and come back in from the right. Therefore, you don't piss off your neighbours on one side all the time.
  5. Not too loud, but I am in row 6 on the west side (at the same elevation as the concourse level). I'm sure the sound is different throughout the 2nd deck. Now if you're talking about the guy that sits behind me, he's way too loud for my nieces and their ears. I wish I could sit behind him rather than in front of him.
  6. Vince is the lytmus test for RG3 in 2018. Calling it now.
  7. He left town about 2 weeks ago. More like 12 days. Just before the groundhogs showed up.
  8. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with having Paul Wiecek as our number 2 CFL reporter in Winnipeg. We need a veteran. Scott Taylor, you're up.
  9. Glenn to the Esks. Franklin will leave. Kevin will complete his set of CFL Glenn jerseys.
  10. Are you recommending three 3-team divisions? Play outside div 2 and in div 3 times? BC, Cgy, Edm - West Division Sask, Wpg, Ham - New Stadiums Division Tor, Ott, Mtl - Refurbished Stadiums Division
  11. I'm a season ticket holder and happen to be travelling on the same day as the Ottawa game. Thus, my tickets are for sale. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?requestSource=b&adId=1209096143 For sale: 3 tickets to Ottawa RedBlacks vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers Investors Group Field Saturday, Oct 29th at 3pm Section 229, Row 6, Seats 7-9 $55 each. Please e-mail, text or call (as per kijiji ad).
  12. Who wants to watch a hockey game in the afternoon? Poor scheduling on the NHL's part. Indoors during the day and NOT watching the NFL? Seriously?
  13. Good on that Bomber fan. Well done. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap.
  14. I'm guessing the Bombers are getting caught with the salary cap and all of the IR guys returning from injury. Johnny Adams was probably being considered to be sent to the practice roster, and if the Bombers did so, the Bombers were expecting him to bolt to another team. This way, they got something in return. Good luck Johnny.
  15. There was a lot of talk around July 1st about the Bruins, but the Bruins have traded away their 2nd and 3rd in 2017. That would mean that then the Bruins would have to make an offer to Trouba > $9.388,080 per season as the only compensation they could send back was the four first rounders.
  16. And if he can't sign for less to try get around the draft picks (say like $4 million) because the Jets will match it and make him play. The contract offer one signs is the contract they have to sign with the original team too.
  17. Depends on what they offer him. From http://www.colliganhockey.com/nhl-rfa-compensation-rules-2016/ Calculated Offer Sheet Amount Draft Pick Compensation $1,239,226 or below None Over $1,239,226 to $1,877,615 Third Round Over $1,877,615 to $3,755,233 Second Round Over $3,755,233 to $5,632,847 First Round & Third Round Over $5,632,847 to $7,510,464 First Round, Second Round, and Third Round Over $7,510,464 to $9,388,080 Two First Rounds, Second Round, and Third Round Over $9,388,080 Four First Rounds There are a number of additional rules when it comes to draft pick compensation. Here are a few key highlights (please see CBA Article 10.4 for full details): Teams must use their own original draft picks for purposes of offer sheet compensation. They cannot acquire picks from other teams, however, they can trade away their own picks and then re-acquire them at a later date. Teams owing picks for amounts up to $7,510,464 must have those picks available in next year’s draft (2017). Teams owing two picks in the same round must have them available in the next three drafts (or three picks in the next four drafts, etc) Here is the big one: If the original team chooses to accept the terms of the offer sheet, they are also not allowed to trade the player for one year from the date of exercising their right to match. (i.e. if Jets match an offer by another team, they can't trade Trouba for one calendar year.)
  18. Willy's first drive 2 for 3, 1 first down and a punt.
  19. I'd lock them both up now. Their teams are competitive, their players play hard for them, their players are outstanding in the community, and if we don't sign them, someone else will be rewarded with wins down the road (from the "rookies" that we've watched develop in front of us). Take a look at the options out there. There aren't many who are unemployed (or will be unemployed) that I want to replace this group. Winning, young, and Canadian. Can't beat that.
  20. One TD was to BC's defence. Pick 6. BC also had 2 fumble recoveries for TDs.
  21. Realistically, this incident is not isolated to the Blue Bombers or to just Winnipeg. Remember the child fan of the New York Islanders at MTS Centre. Similar things happened and ended up in the news. There is a line and people should know better than to cross it. It could be the alcohol, it could be the gang mentality, or both; but it needs to stop no matter what it is. I've been to many sporting venues cheering for the visiting team. It can be a lonely experience. You have to be quite aware of you surroundings and know when to quit poking the bear. I've covered my jersey on the concourse in some places. The stories of fans getting beaten, stabbed and killed are true. It happens in Europe, it's happened in LA/San Fran, and could happen anywhere.
  22. Trades with Argos Kerwin Bell Eric Blount Steve Jyles Getting Kevin Glenn the first time (Glenn from Riders to Argos, then Argos to Bombers)
