Argos removed the post game interview from their website but I found a copy.
 
 

Agreed... I'm just hoping he's knocking off rust and not getting progressively worse. I don't know enough to know enough.

I drove by Freddies and saw the drive thru with 20 cars deep.   Winnipeg people sure like mediocre fast food chains. 
Then again for dinner I was dragged to Olive Garden and it was jam packed and the pasta that I had was only a minor notch above a microwave dinner.   It always blows my mind on why the location on Reenders is always so busy when the food is very expensive and mediocre.   Every dish is near 30 dollars and very subpar.  

I think the biggest playoff problem at qb has simply been Zach has by and large sucked in the big games.

Strev - **** you to anyone who says he can't play QB
Rookie RB - To not be overwhelmed in the moment is almost unbelievable, given the circumstances. 
Vaval - Not even our best returner and looked fantastic..
HH - The Trinity for walking around with a 2 footer and a wheelbarrow. 
Dear CFL,
We just did that you your golden child without our QB, our MOP RB, our Returner, and not close to our best possible defense. 
Watch. The ****. Out. 

!. Srev, proved to the idiots who say he cant read a defense and throw the deep ball, Up yours.
2. Peterson. Nuff said. 
3. This Vaval kid ,hes a keeper. 
HH. Griffin had himself a game.  

As someone who has owned restaurants and mobile concessions, I cannot recommend enough that you avoid the dine in restaurant model enough. Restaurants are the one business I would never recommend anyone to get into. You can do everything right and still fail. There is so little margin for error because margins are so low. I had a restaurant that was doing around a million a year in business and it was profitable, but it was far from a gold mine. After all was said and done, with my wife and I working full time we figured it out that we were making about 9 bucks an hour for our time. 

Obviously means Streveler ain’t the guy and Wilson and the other kid ain’t ready. If nothing else Zach is a starting QB in the cfl, the starter of the team who has been to 5 straight cup finals now. Reality is he’s better than everyone else we have and a year extra ain’t gonna change things. Should have would have could have but didn’t. And here we are today. Zach is the best QB on the roster. You don’t move on if you don’t have the next guy ready.  The next guy isn’t Streveler. It’s Wilson Chase A or Elgersma. 

Hi yeah, I own 3 of them. One is bloomin onion/poutine
Mini donuts/lemonade
Deep fried: cheese curds, corndogs, cheese cake, oreos, chocolate bars, basically anything you can deep fry
 
I've considered a lot going to the states. My spouse is a nurse. I travel all of western Canada from june-end of September. If I left her for an additional 3 months she'd skin me lol 

With the carnival idea ,  I think maybe Dreamland Diner might be the only one who is close to doing it?  I know around the McPhillips area they have a funky corndog place which I have not tried yet.    
I'd stick with food trucks over a restaurant,   I've known a few people who have opened up restaurants and it's high risk/stress, money pit, and a lot of work to keep afloat. The costs really add up quickly and the post Christmas slump kills a lot of places.    At least with the food trucks you can drive in to where the customers are and during the winter months I'm assuming you would be in the States running the circuit.  
In an over saturated market like Winnipeg it makes things much more difficult.  If I were to do a restaurant in Winnipeg I'd 100% buy into an existing franchise, it's far more safe.     

Hi guys. I've been sitting on a restaurant theme for a while and figured I'd Guage the reaction here first.
As some of you may know, I own a few concession trailers, mostly based on carnival foods.
I've been floating the idea of opening up a carnival foods style joint. Carnival themed, with some games, of course all the carnival favorites. A new weekly item from the ridiculous American midways.
Of course would still carry the burgers, fries, etc but the angle is on the carnival stuff. 
Cheese curds, hand Dipped corndogs, blooming onion, Funnel cake, oreos, donuts, etc etc
Does this tickle anyone's fancy or nah. Keep it to an annual novelty 

I know this has been done in the US (my friends stumbled upon https://juicysfamousfairfood.com/ when they were in Florida) and it gets pretty good reviews.  This place didn't have games though so your idea might be a step up in providing that carnival feel.
Personally, I couldn't see it being a regular thing for me but I don't have kids so I'm probably not the target market for that kind of place.  Would definitely try it a couple times though.

I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't appreciate the Trews at least somewhat. 

Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able.
With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts:
-All jokes aside, Jake Thomas looks like he's lost at least 30lbs and maybe 10 years. Not sure it'll translate but he gave himself a chance. 
-There were a number of guys who I thought looked leaner (Adams the DL and Wallace, notably) and I wonder if there's a concerted effort by Brendan the trainer to get guys faster this year
-Makonzo got hurt. Wasnt carted off, but he landed awkwardly in coverage and came up favouring his wrist. Didn't look good. 
-Mitchell looks very smooth and runs good routes.
-If Vaughters can stay healthy, he is just an absolute load. He and Willie would be very hard to handle. That said, they were doing a drill to see who could get off the line fastest without being offsides and Jake beat Vaughters and was giving him a hard time. We'll call that a one off. 
-Both Zach and Strev looked good, tho Strev had a couple brain cramps. One under thrown ball that he was immediately angry about and I think a botched run play that he took the heat for. Patterson definitely has a rifle arm... Accuracy is the question. 
- I have hopes for Keric Wheatfall to take another step this year.
-Our LB corps, as already noted, is very very deep and the coaches have a lot of options. People were shifting around a lot but packages with Kyrie at MACK was interesting.
-Watched a lot of OL/DL 1v1... OL wasn't terrible, though it seemed like there would be holding calls on a number of plays. DL are just so much faster and you're trying to not get put on roller skates. Thought Wallace showed very well and some of the Americans like Randolph, Vanterpool and Lofton as well. In the reps we saw, we didn't think Neufeld looked very good. It was a bit concerning watching him get "walked" by a few DL.
-Its very impressive what Mike Benson does. He really whips that ball and it is so deadly accurate.
-Coaches are all very engaged and animated. Osh was hollering pretty good at one point about a missed tackle "You gotta have that!!" Richie, JY, Costello, among others, very very active and involved. 
-Stan and Willie are both basically coaches. They do a lot of teaching.
 
That's just a few thoughts. I didn't take notes or anything.. just tried to enjoy the sunshine and being at the barn again. 
I love the CFL, I love the Bombers, and I love Manitoba summers.... It's great to be home. 
 

man I'm hearing if Arby's isn't out of meat they're out of sauce (I'd buy some from Wal-mart if it's in stock, I sure did as soon as I saw it)

Bluebombers dot com is difficult to find. Hmm. Good question. All I see is today’s. 

Ok sorry to beat a dead horse. Now I can't find a main camp schedule. Anyone have?

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

The Righteous Gemstones season 4 start March 9th.

Edmonton is Winnipeg with money, plain and simple. I do vastly prefer Winnipeg because I prefer The Shield to The Rockies, but Edmonton is without a doubt my favourite of the two major Alberta cities. 

It's taken me years to craft my talent. 

You contradicted yourself...      
Bottom line is the Moose is a great experience for younger children and seniors,  the experience is fun and the on ice product is at a higher level then what we watch in the CFL.  Sorry to burst the bubble but at one point in time Kyle Connor,  Connor Hellebuyck,  Gab Vilardi,  Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey and others were playing in the AHL and those guys are current superstars playing at the highest levels.  The CFL just doesn't have that same level of talent.  It doesn't mean that the CFL is boring and not a great watch.   But to suggest that the AHL is more of a minor league being further from "the big league" is silly. 
 I've watched the Moose numerous times over the years and never once have I attended a game and thought "Wow these guys are so amateurish and this is such a sloppy game where everyone is making mistakes and looks like ****".    I've always thought the opposite where I'm impressed at just how good these guys are and just how tough it must be to crack an NHL line up considering how sharp these guys play.   
I've also watched plenty of CFL and seen a guy like Jason Boltus line up and me questioning what the hell am I watching? I'll place the odds of any current Moose player cracking an NHL line up as a higher chance then Jake Thomas ever signing with an NFL team.
