Booch

yeah kinda funny...especially the Gainey part...wayyyy overated and never understood it...gets bunrned way too often to be considered elite...and other than the one year where he got all those interceptions (10) many of which were gifts and not from superb coverage he has pick totals of 0/0/2/0/3/3...hardly a guy who creates turnovers or makes a huge difference...he of 1 sack and 4 forced fumbles in his entire 7 year career. I'm sure we will see him in Banks or Taskers dust tonight a few times

your lucky...buzz and Boomer have noodle arms and zero escapabability

totally agree...and be further ahead this year too

yes I read that somewhere too hahahahaha

yeah I enjoy discusssing with other fan bases..get diffeent perspectives...but man sometimes some there get wayyy over sensitive and ultra immature...but its all good fun..I post on a couple other sites but under a different name...

not in the same way though...more so with facts and history...over there it's unfounded..juvenile and pretty petty

yeah I like to give Ripper a hard time...more in fun but he seems like a good fan of is team, and league and can actually have back and forth convo that actually makes sense and isn't blinded like others on his site...and can take it and give it just the same...it's interesting though if one of us venture there and make similar type comments/statements are attacked for it, degraded at times and generally banned......weird lol

i think he is/was a free agent at end of year no...so you guys are free to scoop him up when collaros goes down and Fajardo shows how awful he is as a number 2 😎😎

132 and you have 13....every sask fan favorite number hahaha

MJHL Stienbach Pistons, Virdon Oil Capitals, Portage Terriers, OCN Blizzard, Winkler Flyers, Winkler Blues, Selkirk Steelers, Swan Valley Stampeders, Neepawa Natives, Dauphin Kings, Waywascappo Wolverines.. Also the MMJHL which has ten teams and are all withing the city....sure not all WHL teams but teams that have paying customers none the less, and all within an hour of Winnipeg, and like I said in my original post don't really consider Jr Hockey in either province as it is not a professional league....fact of the matter there is one major sporting event for the entire province I also have read a lot of stuff in articles over the years too...doesn't mean it's a 100 percent fact...does it?

Chris Jones though selected and got rid of guys a lot of times based on height and stature alone...he always pooched his shorter players and most times for unfounded reasons...other than his disdain for them...

can always un-retire

that market has only one "major" sports team to spend entertainment dollars on...I don't count junior hockey as one, as Manitoba has as many if not more junior teams in the Provence as does Sask . They have the Riders, Lacrosse and.....Usports...thats about it WPG for example has Bombers..Jets..Goldeyes..Moose...now soccer...as well as the 2 universities..WHL..and the 2 other junior leagues so a lot of disposable income to be spread about the city...so averaging what we do is still pretty impressive when you look at the big picture

a team who had to be saved by telethons and selling bogus worthless team shares to save their butts in the losing years shouldn't be trumpeting this endless money tripe anyway...has already been stated that attendance there has dipped due and a toilet bowl of a season this year I'm sure will take it's toll on their gate...thats how it works there...at least in our dry spell we still put anywhere from 27 to 29k butts in the seats...I recall looking back on attendance figures when they perpetually sucked and they were in the very low 20's and a few seasons in the high teens

and based on financial league records haven't the Bombers the last few years had more profit on the bottom line? I give Ripper some agreement that they sell a lot of green swag around the league but it's all they have to back really, and there are lots ...more like tons of defectors who leave that god forsaken place once they are old enough so ya...they but stuff in other cities..

a safety rarely is a focal point, or the reason that a defense is great vs good vs awful...and if the safety is the linchpin your defense is in serious trouble anyway. Pretty sure the likes of Biggie..Jefferson..Jeffcoat..Fenner..Sayles..Alexander will more than make up for whomever is at safety...our safety this year will be playing more of a centerfielder role this year..flowing to plays and being available for over the top help...I have no concerns

do you have concrete proof of this?...numbers to back it up?

well whats your point though...the Bombers had more or less already met the league requirements due to having quality coaches and not over spending stupidly...even though they could have put motre into it with their "unlimited" funds as well...don't understand your comments

Yeah prior to him being commissioner the bombers colluded with him to set themselves up..is that what you are implying?. Sure sounds like it..I thought you had more sense and intelligence than most of that clan on your forum..

And bryant

how many of their starting O-line are returnees...it will take several games at least for all the new pieces to mesh and give Reilly significant time

add to it the big replacement..Johnson doesn't have the supporting cast that he had in CGY...so he certainly will have lesser numbers...and who knows what Hughes has left...he burns out by mid season last 2 years and being a year older..can't see that trend reversing Jefferson allowed that defense to do a lot of different things, and truthfully Eguavoen was probably their best all around defender too..so AC Leonard and whoever replaces Eguavoen is a major downgrade from last year...

Strevler

Yeah shocked on that one actually..

That's why I'd bring in Johnson. Or MTl draft pick Osie Kusi that they cut..big target.. fast..hands need work but would be a nice addition to groom non the less
