  1. I suspect (only guessing here) that the vouchers were intended for the extra seats you get for the pre-season game, which would be Game 1 in the package normally. Likely deactivated for the revamped schedule, but not removed from the app.
  2. He didn’t so much lose the job as get injured.
  3. Boy, people around here sure are butt hurt sensitive about what TBurg has to say every time. And once again, he has said nothing factually wrong. The Bombers have finished 3rd in 7 of the past 8 seasons. And since the media is operating simplistically (the projected standings for the West are a mirror of the 2019 season) he is accurate in his assessment that this is the rationale they are basing our 3rd place predicted finish on. Now all TBurg has to do is not take the bait and just let his statement stand and we avoid the usual nonsense of flaming posters. But If he gets equally sensitive about the personal jabs and doubles down with what will slide into an exaggerated claim to justify his original reasonable position, he will then discredit himself as he has done before in an effort to defend his ego, and he will overstate leaving himself vulnerable to a more ridiculous and easily refuted point. Which seems to be the all too often pattern on this board. I guess we will see. This site makes for a fun psychological experiment at times. 😂
  4. Great piece by Murat Ates in The Athletic about the upcoming salary negotiations on the Jets. Sets out well why, even when people moan about Maurice playing vets over the rookies, how it isn’t possible all the time in a cap world to just play the best lineup on paper. https://theathletic.com/2745438/2021/08/02/how-are-the-jets-going-to-fit-andrew-copp-neal-pionk-and-logan-stanleys-new-contracts-under-the-salary-cap/
  5. Speed stole my thunder. Down to two days left. There is only one choice for today, and it is non-negotiable.
  6. Correct. Matson and Bighill with the tackle, Taylor submarines the line and destroys the blocking. Just a beautiful play all around. My all time favourite game I have seen live in person.
  7. Not even his best play last year. In the West Final he met William Powell in the hole at the goal line and stopped him cold one on one right at the one inch mark. The next play Matson blows up the line and Fajardo gets stuffed on third down. Without Hansen’s stick, the Riders tie it up late. Very unheralded but critical play. Go to 1:46:00 to see the play.
  8. Today’s countdown features “The Hammer” x 2
  9. Very true. They save their losing for actual games like the Grey Cup instead of practice.
  10. I wonder if the Ticats are practicing the victory formation in practice like they did Grey Cup week?
  11. I have a hunch we will see neither this week, and at least one of them will not be back for game 2 either. Just a gut feeling, no intel to base it on.
  12. Check out Twitter and you will see how public and nasty it is getting.
  13. Kane’s ugly divorce is going to get uglier with the comments from his own wife calling him out on his gambling addiction and match fixing. Meanwhile, a league concerned about its integrity continues its deafening silence on the sexual assault allegations out of Chicago
  14. Today’s Bomber group includes a current builder, a current coach, a guy who may or may not be using his “slave name” right now, a current Grey Cup champion, and most importantly, a current fan 😁, all displaying various uniform styles.
  15. This makes zero sense. DeMelo already was #2, Pionk is not listed and if Dillion gets his number 4 then he should be on here too, and not sure why 2 incumbents lose their numbers to new guys.
  16. I’d be happy to tell you every time my pick got a 2 point convert and not a TD - that seems to be a speciality of my picks, lol. No problem, glad to see Smooth Jimmy Apollo back for another season!
  17. Can we count a 2 point convert as a partial strike this year?
  18. On today‘s menu: Something old Something new Something borrowed Loves the zoo
  19. BTW, the Riders have sold out their home opener and this guy would like to see the same thing here:
  20. Don’t want to self-quote, but would really like an answer if anyone knows.
  21. The Jason Maas from Hamilton to Edmonton for “future considerations” just before Edmonton’s Grey Cup run (2003 I think) was worse. The future considerations was - Jason Maas - at the start of the next season. The penalties for exceeding the salary cap are so inconsequential that it makes more sense to build a championship roster and make extra Grey Cup revenue by cheating than by playing by the rules. I wish the Bombers did it more, and I won’t slag any team that takes advantage of it.
  22. Is that the same for the vaccination passport QR codes? If so, then will need to ensure I have both websites open and am logged in to my Manitoba Health account.
  23. Spoiler alert, there may be more than one choice for the remaining options! By the way, does anyone know how I can input a picture from my own phone camera into the post? I can’t pull up a URL, and just copying and pasting, the process works but the image does not appear in the post.
