  1. I feel like I did well also? Or I was last place haha. Anyone know the results from last year?
  2. Buck's legacy in this town, akin to that of Old Dutch, Jeannie's Cakes and Honey dill sauce.
  3. Clerks was an over-rated, over hyped amateur hour production. Chasing Amy was the best thing Smith ever did. False.
  4. You, like Price, are confusing the issue to benefit your opinion. The only reason Christianity is being brought up at all is because that was his excuse for hateful speech. See, I can't get away with saying "I like punk music, and therefore I don't associate with blacks" or "I'm a golfer, so screw the gays!" Being part of a religion, like any other group, doesn't give one the right to look down upon others and treat them differently. Price knew if he had tweeted STRICTLY his opinion he would be condemned as a bigot, and he thought the "out" was using religion as an excuse. Thankfully, in 2014 most people see right through it.
  5. Ah the classic, "I'm not a racist, bigot, sexist, homophob etc because of my religion!" Sorry, no can do. The tweets were 100% homophobic in nature and offensive. Intentionally? Maybe not, but that's no excuse.
  6. Bit off topic, and sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but 2 Winnipeg born players were taken in the NFL draft. Is this significant at all? I didn't see a peep about it anywhere. I guess both guys were just born here and moved elsewhere for high school ball. Still, as a Winnipeg-homer I thought this was cool.
  7. We'd have better luck with Bogo + picks or other players. Pavelec being a part of any deal lowers the value we're giving.
  8. Hall for Pavelec and Bogosian, to me, is as ridiculous as Wheeler for Scrivens and Schultz. Re: Bogo's potential. I too thought he had "top pairing guy for the next 15 yrs" written all over him - but have we really seen major improvements in his game to warrant that expectation? I distinctively recall Lawless saying on air in 2012 or 2013 that he thought Bogo was (going to be..) more of a really good second pairing guy, and that he didn't have that elite "hockey sense" that the true stars have. Now, I know how Lawless is viewed around here....but I think he could be spot on in that analysis. Comparison: Jacob Trouba. You could argue he's shown more of a "potential, elite 1-2 guy" than Bogo did this year. How much better will his game be in 3 years when his age and exp match Bogo's right now? IMO, that's the difference between Troobs and Bogosian.
  9. Barely a mention for one of the All time great RB's... As expected I guess with the festivities in MtL.
  10. Welcome home Buck! We must employ the most ex-players in our org than any other team, no? I like that.
  11. No kidding we're the best fanbase he's played for. Majority of his NFL career in Jacksonville, and a brief stint in St.Louis.... yuck.
  12. where is Bryant Turner ? 1. Check the linen closet. 2. This is Bryant Turner's city, thus it was implied the WBB are HIS franchise.
  13. I don't know squat about judging play on the line, but that video in the other thread of Goossen running over people was a treat to watch.
  14. I think they will be better then the 2013 Blue Bombers So, yes then.
  15. I like the Thursday night games. Summer is about 2 things: Bomber football and going to the lake. Thursday games means one doesn't interfere with the other. Not a big fan of 7:30 starts, and with the traffic improvements they've already made, I don't think a later start was necessary. Ending the season with a bye is bizarre... league's way of saying we don't have a chance in hell at winning the west?
  16. careful you're going to start a giant rant Lol bring it pinkos. I agree with Max, you can't win on this topic unless you are morally outraged, and that's fine. Bruce will never play professional football again, and that's punishment enough for his stupidity. He can go stock shelves at Target now. The only folks who seem "morally outraged" are the ones who don't think Turner's comments should be lumped in with Bruce's.
  17. Not sure where you read anything about "HUGELY" ignorant.... I think my post was clear that IMO (only an opinion, for the record) there aren't definable degrees of ignorance here. Look at the CFL's comment on this: announce that both players have been fined. They didn't say one was worse, or that the penalty for one was more severe... because really that doesn't matter. Both comments are offensive, and that's that.
  18. Yes it is. Both comments show ignorance and are uncalled for. That's like someone calling a homosexual a "fruit" while another calls that person a "****". The words don't matter, it's the message behind them does. edit: European cigarettes!!
  19. Considering how well the TiCats were treated at the GC, I'd expect nothing but the best from the lovely village of Regina.
  20. Wasn't long ago people we're labelling Scheifele a bust, saying he'd never amount to much. Time will tell if Etienne haters are proved wrong as well. But at only 24, no one can say definitively either way.
  21. News from Bannon and the Bombers store is newly minted CAP SPACE jerseys are flying off the shelves. Thanks MBB!
  22. Well then, what? You tell us. Stay the course. Play Hall? Re-up Goltz??? The optimists can say what they want that this is February but bottom line this team is in huge trouble... And I don't mean just on the field. They have to start paying back that huge stadium loan this year. If fans stay away... well the scenario is dire. This is a typical knee jerk reaction of the public. Something bad happens, therefore we should over-react to it. I may be sad/unhappy/let down, that Burris and Collaros didn't sign here, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna run around like a chicken with it's head cut off in a panicked state throwing money at some QB who hasn't proven himself. You gotta keep your head on and keep playing the game, otherwise you're giving everyone the upper hand and all we're going to end up with is even more garbage then last year. Even more garbage than last year? That's not possible.
  23. Well this should shut people up. I give Walters credit for not overpaying Burris. Who would've thought Gary Lawless would actually write a good article(his one about not overpaying Burris yesterday). Maybe the Bombers and the Lawman had an inkling about Burris signing with Ottawa.
  24. Exactly what more could Walters have done? Push Mack off the ledge a few yrs back...
