If you go into the exchange any old day of the week his perception of it being relatively devoid of the 40+ age category is pretty correct.... although I would probably push the number a little higher (maybe 45+)

The fact is that if you were a young adult or older in the 90's Winnipeg's downtown was simultaneously not nice AND had almost nothing worth going to.  The core has made a SIGNIFICANT turnaround in the last 20 years and people who had strong opinions about it from the 90's are only recently starting to realize that things have changed.

I think he even pointed to the receiver he was going to send the bomb to as well... and they were something like 50 yard from the endzone
 
I remember that as well.... so good

You know that was definitely the knock on Bishop throughout his career in the CFL... but given how often he was brought into shitty situations with little to no time to actually learn a playbook it's hard to judge how much of his inadequacies were the result of the situation he was put into.   The fact is that for the seasons he spent in Toronto he did a pretty adequate job as QB.

Look at 2009... yeh his numbers sucked, but how many QB's would really be able to come in halfway through a season and have great numbers running the Mike Kelly offense?
 
I almost think the period from 2010 - 2014 wouldn't have been so bleak if we had just kept Bishop around for the whole time (although Buck was nice to have when he was healthy)

Two options - There are a number of nice hotels down Pembina (Holiday Inn / Best Western) that'll run you ~120$ a night.  From there you can easily drive to the Forks/Downtown to the exchange to check stuff out there & take a bus to the game (recommended)

Second option if you want to show her a real good time - Book a room at the Fort Garry for 160$ + 20$ parking.  You can walk down to the Forks and into the exchange (Clementines is my favorite breakfast place in the city).  Still take a bus to the game (pretty easy from downtown).

If you haven't checked out the zoo in awhile they've done really good things there.

I was going to say... both of those roll out TDs make me very excited for Nichols as our starter this year

The Bombers are developing their backup QB in a refreshingly innovative way.  They obviously have a number of "Streveler" packages that include pass/run options primarily centered around intermediate to short gains (less than 20 yards).  Last year they consistently inserted him into the game when the stakes were real "the game was obviously still in contention" to play those Streveler packages.  It's WAY more consequential playtime than any backup I've ever seen get outside of injury to a starter.  Allows him to build confidence in a more natural way while simultaneously providing additional offensive depth to the Bombers attack.

Gotta say I'm really liking how the Bombers have been developing Streveler.  Even notwithstanding this last game where they gave him the 4th quarter to run the offense, they have been consistently using him in their short yardage red zone scoring packages... and not just as a running threat.
He looks like he could be our QB of the future and I really appreciate the way their trying to make that happen.
