The Unknown Poster

Everyone should watch the video in its entirety. And can we please punt the CBC already? Good god, you're actually referencing Ezra Levant for his unbiased opinion? That guy is a wack-a-doodle. I was thinking about this the other day. Its perfectly acceptable for right wing commentators to be called crazy even when they are correct. So how about instead of insulting someone, you listen to what he says in that video, come back and point out where he was wrong? Its like Bill O'rielly. He's CRAZY!! Oddly, he's almost always correct though. Whenever he comes up in conversation i find myself qualifying my interest in his broadcasts, almost apologizing. And yet I sit there listening to him, nodding and agreeing with just about everything he says. On the other hand, people who criticize outlets like the CBC are vile! How dare we dislike the CBC! I disgress, Ezra's 30 minute report was very good, very well done, very enlightening. Watch it.

Marve has shown pretty good. Whats his contract status? Bombers traded for Brohm, right? So they might be inclined to keep him but I think Marve showed enough to be the number 2 guy and we might bring someone else in at number, depending on what Brohm cost us.

The problem with this is, loosening the rules is great. I support that. Someone tripping down the stairs should not result in stricter drink sales anymore than it should result in the removal of stairs. But announcing this was stupid. Allowing behaviour and endorsing behaviour are two different things. The fact this is a story is idiotic.

Bomber rep told me that a significant number of seats in the north end zone are sold, but that those are the people who mostly hang out in the concessions and drink/socialize. That's why it always looks so empty; the seats are sold but the ticket holders are drinking/socializing. I know many people who buy the cheapest seats and then just stand around the concourse area.

Great game by Jets. Now 3rd in the division. When was the last time that happened? Lowry seemed to struggle a bit tonight. Trouba continues to be a warrior. Scheif finally scores and could have had a couple others. Jets, especially Wheeler need to shoot more. Kane maybe needs to shoot less. Wondered why frolik was not his usual self this season. Lawless revealed he has been playing with a dislocated thumb all season but refused to sit out. Warrior. Presumably he's healed up because he was all over the place tonight.

Did the team actually announce this? Because if so, that is utterly stupid. Its one thing to tell your security people that there are far more important things to worry about then some fans entertaining themselves in a non-violent, non-risky, non-annoying way. But to actually announce it is akin to announcing a beer snake contest. The first few games are likely going to be all about the beer snake. Then it will die off. Hopefully. I will say this, I like Wade's atittude of not being a miserable old, fun-killing fogey. Serving booze later. Pre-game and post game events. Its almost as if he's trying to run a successful business. I hate when a few drunks get goofy and they ruin it for everyone, like when that kid jumped off the bridge and suddenly no one in Winnipeg was responsible enough to drink/

Keep MOS, Wylie, Marcel, Buck, Howell Turf Etch (and even then I'm so-so on this). No opinion on everyone else.

I dont notice it all. But I do really like darkness. So I appreciate it getting dark early. Id be happy if the entire winter was just nightime.

I wouldn't paint everyone who likes a little BDSM with the same brush. That isn't this.

Im not worried about scoring yet (though I do have Wheeler and Trouba in my pool so lets get going boys). They are buying into Maurice's system and you can see their confidence growing. The old Jets would have folded in the third period last night. They are still getting chances. Sheif seems poised to break out anytime here. I almost wonder if Kane-Scheif-Wheeler need to be broken up. Someone else mentioned that they are almost too good to be put together. I'd put Buff on the right side of that line, move Wheeler back with Little & Ladd and Frolik down with Perrault and Lowry. Lowry, by the way, looks more and more like a full marks NHL'er. He's a great example of draft and develop. Drafted 67th overall in 2011 and slowly worked his way up to being an everyday 3rd line centre. Good for him. This week is a big test though. The Jets will get to measure their ability, confidence and system versus the Pens.

This was the point. If the ceo uses the name of a company he own as a way of providing advertising for that company then he better be writing a cheque to the team. Otherwise it's a conflict of interest. It's actually a conflict either way so I hope there is some oversight of Wade and his companies.

Who was complaining

I hope he saved his money. He will need it.

This guy takes a lot of heat. But he deserves the accolades of being the best Jet this season. His stats now put him right where you need your nhl starting goalie to be. Let's hope he keeps it up.

Fun fact. Apparently there is no second "s" in "savings" time. Guess this means winter is truly upon us.

Thread gets locked in 3...2...

Pinnacle seats? Oh boy

Saying it anonymously is a lot different then being subjected to cross examination and all the nasty tricks the defense will play to drag the accusers through the mud. But the two women who have released their names are high profile and respected.

I think i need some legit proof and not the type of proof that involves i heard from my cousins friends sisters brothers best friend who was at the bar at the same time they were. Really easy to speculate and BS but... for accusations like that, need legit proof cuz it's pretty much going over the line in my opinion. From BOGO is a coke head to wheeler punching out kane? Man, i dunno about that at all.. those are pretty bold statements to make with no way of backing it up other than i heard from a friends brothers mothers sisters cousins drunk boyfriends girlfriends best friend. People love to make up rumors with zero proof other than "i know for a fact", prove it if you know for a fact then, prove it or shut the hell up really about it right? But even if true, highly doubt they are.. the bogo the coke had rumor is because people say he has "coke head" eyes.. yup, that's what that rumor is based on, cuz he has coke head eyes... so in other words, i guess its coke heads accusing a guy of being a coke head cuz honestly, wtf are coke head eyes even. Pushing the line there of decency for sure. Ive never heard the cokehead rumour at all! Ive only heard really good things about Bogo within the community. The "punch" rumour I did hear multiple times from multiple people. The fact Kane's concussion seemed to have an aura of mystery around it didnt help the rumours. Bottom line is, Im sure every team has guys who arent buddies on it. We all work with people we dont like personally. Lets hope Kane & Wheeler can make beautiful hockey love together.

Its an interesting case because the public pressure seems to be heading in this direction but the police need victims to make complaints and be willing to pursue the matter. They could certainly investigate and file charges based on gathering evidence of a crime but as we all know, if the victims wont testify, it makes it very difficult to proceed. His PR firms have now dropped him as a client. He's pretty much screwed now.

He was also in the band Moxy Fruvious if you're old enough to remember them. They did My Baby Loves A Bunch of Authors.

Wrong again Cecil. You can be black and white. My opinion has a little more depth. Regardless I'm glad to see the women coming forward now. Hopefully they don't just tell the media.

Scheif's been absolutely snakebit though. He generates plenty of opportunities. Hopefully it starts clicking for him. He should have ten points already.

I like it too. It gives me a good reason to not have to go to Winnipeg to shop for anything with my wife I'm sure businesses in Steinbach, Selkirk, and Portage are in favor of it as well. It would only happen province-wide. Well I'm pretty sure the mayor of Winnipeg doesn't have the power to instituate a provincial sales tax. Also, we already have one of those that was recently raised. But seriously, am I misinformed on what a city sales tax would be, and why people think it would be a good idea? How is it different than the PST, which everyone is still mad about the NDPs raising? Correct, the Mayor does not have the power but he would ask the province to institute it. But it would be a tax that was collected province-wide, administered by the province but the money collected would go directly to the city's, towns, etc that it was collected in. The reason it would only happen province wide is for the reason mentioned - if it was only Winnipeg, people would shop outside the city. Plus, other cities and towns would benefit too. Bowman's idea was to eliminate residential property taxes and charge a 3% or 4% sales tax. For people like me, I'd spend less per year in taxes. The criticism is that it would impact low income people the most. But mechanisms would be built in to account for that. Its a fairer way to collect taxes. Right now, the burden is on homeowners to pay for many services everyone uses. I would be pretty annoyed if I had to start paying an extra sales tax in Steinbach because the idiots in Winnipeg can't run their city properly. We're doing fine here. Unless all the money would go to a new arena of course. Why would you be annoyed? You wouldnt pay property tax either. And your community would reap the rewards. Its like the tax cuts announced today. I *get* what the opposition are saying but tax cuts that benefit families are good. I dont care if they *only* benefit middle class families and dont benefit the single parents out there. You cant please everyone. I'd prefer they cut my income tax significantly. One day I hope they will. But good on the Cons for keeping their promises to cut tax. And LOL to the opposition for declaring that they will reverse tax cuts.
