  1. AC should be due for another failed pee attempt soon I would think. Poor guy, has a bladder like a camel.
  2. What the heck is a Sakatchewite? At any rate, Bob says the politically correct things on air and like all Bomber faithful loathes them with all his heart. It's all part of being a Bomber fan. Also, who says you can't respect someone you hate? I have a healthy respect for every CFL team outside of Winnipeg....but I hate them all.
  3. Hey if Rider fans are dumb enough to pay for pixie dust, jesus sprinkles, and magic beans then all the power to the Rider club for getting them to do it. Pretty much. They are stoking Duke up pretty good but Edmonton's secondary is pretty poor.
  4. An outright embarrassing penalty that gifted Regina home field. Has there been a worse 9-4 team ever? In any other year these Riders are a .500 club It's too bad they don't have the technology to get these calls right. These are the type of plays command centre should be able to correct without need of a challenge. I dont think fans would mind the game being 15-20 mins longer so they can get it right.
  5. Meh...offence was out of synch..i expected that. McGuire was poor tho.
  6. A friend of mine in Calgary was telling me that Huff and Maier were pretty tight and that there were rumors Huff felt Maier should be playing right now not Bo and may have voiced his opinion too strongly to Dickie. This, of course, is rumor mill stuff from the Calgary fan base but I just put it out there because it is interesting.
  7. Austin and Stephen can say what they want. His contract is guaranteed at this point of the season if I'm not mistaken. Unless he doesn't qualify for vet status but he should.
  8. Won't be as bad as we think without Bob. Part of Bob's incredible legacy is the team he assembled over the years to make his broadcasts so awesome. The next guy will not be Bob, but he gets Bob's gameday machine. For sure, and there is a vet in house for color already. Doug does a nice job with that.
  9. Bauming, Hamilton, and Wyman are all dead to me for the Harris screw job. I said I would boycott them and I still am. Hamilton made any shot of redemption even worse during Chevy-gate. I wish Winnipeg sports teams would revoke his press pass.
  10. Yep. Had a few friends say to me that the Bombers got away with one on Saturday. I was like WTF are you talking about? The only thing that would have concerned me is if they could hang with us for 4Qs. They would have been the only team able to do that and it would have revealed maybe the only blueprint to success a team might have against us. NOPE. They blew their wad in the first 3Qs and had nothing left for the 4th. Just like every other team we've played. NO ONE can hang with us for 4Qs.
  11. Huff has 998 yards in 19 games. This has gotta be a vax, or locker room issue. Can't be SMS because at this stage of the season veteran contracts are now guaranteed I believe.
  12. We wouldn't have to hear it if he would finally complete one. Don't put all the blame on the media, it's a narrative that won't go away because Fajardo is keeping it going. Dinwiddie is going to be a good one. We saw a lot of the same stuff with Osh his first year but you can tell by watching the effort of the players. His guys show up for him. STs are the only guys deserving of continued employment in Ottawa I guess.
  13. You could literally take a name out of the hat from the RIders roster and they would be one of the most overrated players in the league. Our CDN CFL media thrives on Rider clickbait and overrating them is a great way to get clicks. I found it hilarious when Rod Pederson even admitted to this on his podcast. He said when he was Rider media and needed to drum up action on his twitter and blogs all he had to do was suggest the Riders were going to win the Cup. I was thinking the same thing when they were bragging about how great their defence played. Grey Cup calibre D according to Riderfans. They were playing the Elks scout offence.
  14. Doesn't matter who we drafted ahead of him because we could have had him for nothing when BC released him. I want the two teams in the WSF to beat the crap out of each other. That is all. If it is a tie game that needs OT even better. Not scared of either team in the WSF but we won the right to rest and they won the right to come in limping.
  15. Only part that sucks is driving for home games but away games are awesome.
  16. Pinawa is beautiful country. I love the Shield. I'm a lot further North but same idea. I will say this, if you are looking lakefront and building later then keep your eyes open. Undeveloped lake front is hard to find. PRO TIP: Running a 100 ft extension cord, an XBOX and a TV down to the dock to stream Bomber games while you fish is about as good as it gets.
  17. Yea....my retirement was something that I sacrificed a lot for. I don't know what the answer is for you in particular, but I originally bought my cottage property first and then built as I could afford it. I was there for 20 or so years too. When I was first building up my business my wife and I lived in the stock room for the first year..lol. Drove to the public pool for a shower each day. I think that's what inspired me to go into the hotel business shortly thereafter...at least we would have a bed and a shower for sure.
  18. It took a lifetime of hard work and I'm not rich...just comfortable.
  19. Been humming and hawing on the idea of buying a nice lakefront home in the Okanagan for several years now. Would have done it a long time ago if they had a sliver of the fishing and tranquility I currently enjoy. Arthritis might force this decision in the coming years but for right now no matter how cold our winters have been, I have not pulled the trigger.
  20. I think he was slated to make 195k if memory serves. Willie was the one who was to make 250k. Both men took considerable shaves though and should be commended for their commitment to the team.
  21. You will get to see it again...and again...and again in different incarnations throughout his career. Lots of talent, not much effort will be how he is remembered.
  22. Let's not discount some incredibly flukey plays by the Riders that made the game much closer than it really was. They had horseshoes up their butt in the 2nd half of that game.
  23. Context is everything. Before Collaros multiple games playing our back up QB. At the time we lost Nichols we were 1st in the West. If you want to say mid-tier behind our backup I will accept that. However, saying we were mid tier with our starter healthy in 2019 is complete fallacy. Let me clear it up. With Nichols under centre we were a very good team. With Collaros under centre we became dominant.
  24. No idea. Farhan simply states that there are 5-6 KEY Stampeder players who are unvaccinated and are refusing to get vaccinated. I don't agree that they need to put their names forward. The problem isn't them, they have the right to choose. Fans should be angry with the team for keeping them on knowing that they will be unable to play when it counts. I am confused by what happened to KSB in Saskatchewan. That kid seemed to be performing very well and was a favorite for ROY then bam....replaced by ham & eggers like Lenius and McInnis and riding the pine. Attitude? Locker room problem? Surely it can't be performance based.

    Covid-19

    If you want to add even more context, in the Northern region the vast majority of cases are all from one reserve that is having a very bad outbreak due to overcrowded living conditions. Norway House Cree Nation. The Southern Health region really has no excuse.
