If you wanted to make the argument that Trudeau did exactly the right thing, your best argument might be that Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene disapprove strongly. The “reverse” character witness.- 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
Cal was miserly, but remember that the Montreal franchise (the Concorde) folded, Ottawa was hemorrhaging money, the Roughriders were on the verge of bankruptcy and holding telethons, and the CFL was close to closing up shop at the end of 1987 and needed its own TV network because no broadcaster was willing to pick up the games. And the league pilfered the Bomber coffers to keep the other teams alive. Murphy was cheap as much out of necessity as by choice given the debt load the team carried. Which is why he lobbied hard for the Grey Cup to come to Winnipeg and offered to buy the game from the league for a guaranteed sum and keep the profits for itself, which ended up wiping out the $1 million plus debt the club had accumulated. (The league quickly got wise and forced all teams to “buy” the game but raised their purchase fee so that they still made more money than the host most every time). Ironically, for all his penny-pinching, in his last year in 1996 it was revealed shortly after his firing that the Bombers had exceeded the salary cap and were fined.- 2021/22 - CFL Offseason - Non-Back-to-Back Grey Cup Champion Thread

I am humbled to have my War song suggestion added to the mix. Thanks for all the great work on the threads iHeart. Was trying to find that Moonwalker gif you mentioned, some Youtube stuff about the video game, but no magic hat trick seen. BTW, kind of creepy in hindsight how Michael “saves” little kids locked in closets as part of the game play. Happy to see the club doing better and the offence getting going, but not too excited. We have dug ourselves such a hole that I won’t believe we have a shot at the playoffs unless we reel off a 10 game win streak or so. Plus we looked kind of lost in the first period.- Canadian Politics
By the way, his disability is an amputated leg. He claimed he lost it when he served in Afghanistan. When a quick check revealed he’d never served, he quickly retracted his lie. As it turns out, he was working as a labourer and fell off a roof, breaking his leg. Rumours that he was drunk at the time have not been verified, but he did not properly care for the break, and after it became infected his leg was amputated. He now says he works as a health and safety officer but there is nothing g to show he ever completed the required training, and he himself says he does not work. Of course, he has been collecting disability cheques ever since from the very same government he so loudly decries as oppressive.- 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
He was put in the Blue Bomber Hall of Fame in 1992. And I have a memory of him and Hufnagel being honoured together at Canadinns one game with framed jerseys. I remember it because Clements said “thanks so much for the gift of a framed jersey, I guess now I can give back the one I stole from the locker room and hid in my bag when I left here”.- 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
She was already before these Olympics, and is the GOAT male or female for international hockey as a Canadian. Maybe only Tretiak from the Russian dynasty in the 1970’s and 80’s could rival her as greatest international player ever. She is already on the Mount Rushmore of greatest Canadian hockey goals ever with Henderson in ‘72, Lemieux in ‘87, and Crosby in ‘10 with her OT winner in 2014. Has the Olympic gold medal winning goal now in 3 Games. No “female” or “Canadian” qualifiers for me, she is the best ever.- Game 47 vs Minnesota
Given your tag line when a player gets 2 goals, maybe this could be the hat trick song (plus, it’s CanCon approved)- Game 47 vs Minnesota
If it’s tacky irony you want, then this is gold (plus you get a brother from the hood arm in arm with the KKK - you can’t make this stuff up)- Game 47 vs Minnesota
Did you ever see that character Randy Quaid played in the movie “Major League 2”? You are worse.- Game 47 vs Minnesota

Why is it people who trash Scheifele for being terrible and the cause of all our problems also think we can get a king’s ransom if we trade him?- 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
Much more fair analysis. His receivers bail him out a lot on those 50/50 balls, which what they hope Duke will bring. Contain him and make him beat you with his arm and the odds of winning go up a bunch.- 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
If he became a Bomber you’d probably pick him up at the airport and literally carry his bags and piggy back him to IG Field. That much many people understand.- 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
I’m so confused. Winnipeg fans have always been notorious for rooting for the back-up QB.- 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition

The “beat the rush” baby blue Jets jerseys from season one that people still wear make me laugh. Wonder how much lead is in the dye on those things.- Game 46 vs Chicago
On both Hawk goals Jets D (Heinola noticeably) backing in too much and not standing up at the blue line. On the first some offensive interference not called as Heinola pushed back to his net, and on the second giveaway got Morrissey and Heinola out of position and retreating. Too many short little flip passes by the Jets not getting through and causing turnovers.- Game 46 vs Chicago
Seriously, I thought he was decent and didn’t overdo it, but Stacey is rock solid. Also sits right by me at Bomber games, so I will speak no ill of her. At least Greg Millen is the colour guy. Not sure what anyone else thinks, but I like his style. And on Sportsnet that makes him a God by comparison. I don’t know if it is deliberate, but maybe Leah keeps it calmer and more monotone to keep her in a lower register. I’ve heard high-pitched broadcasters before and they are always a turn off.- Game 46 vs Chicago
