  1. And he's the guy Suitor said had 'heavy balls'.......just the complete qb.
  2. Now c'mon....Taman had an indepth rollodex and 7/11 napkins at his disposal....How could you fail...he was wingin' it alright ,like all the others, most likely at a local restaurant .......................lol...............
  3. A shooting everday in Van....The drug trade has an ongoing war that threatens passersby almost daily....That does not happen in Winnipeg, as I follow the local news quite closely....Sure the Peg has it's problems but not like Vancouvers....I don't know who compiles shootings ...followed by a stolen car fire to cover evidence, but I assure you Van is a helluva lot worse than the Peg in that respect...Just face it violent crime in general is rampant across the country...When one politician said the country is 'broken' , he's very close to the truth
  4. There's all kinds of different variables when comparing one place to another...I'll use the stadiums as a measurable...in the football sense......Let's go T.O. vs. Wpg.......Winnipeg wins and comparing the facility in the Peg to a lot of other cities in the country ...Winnipeg wins.....so there's that....I find that a lot of the population in the Peg sell their city short
  5. You're right on with the 'urban decay' comment....Every big city is suffering from it in some form....I find the bigger the city....the bigger the problems...it only follows...Winnipeg was , in the railway hey day, the third largest city in Canada....When the railway went to pot, the city followed...in some instances...I still luv the place because I was born there....still have most of my family and friends there...I now live in retirement in one of the most desired places in Canada BUT even here there are problems bordering on 'big city' probs....
  6. The 'Big Smoke' (T.O.)..sure as hell is no panacea of places to visit....There's certain parts of that city I wouldn't walk around in at night...and if you think the Peg is bad, you should have a look at that....Toronto is suffering the same 'american big city' woes ....and everything that goes with that....I have relatives that live there and the're constantly complaining about ...traffic, shootings and the surge of immigrants sleeping in their downtown core....No T.O. is not Wpg. and I'm sure glad that it isn't
  7. Charlie always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder....Might have served him well because that's how he played...with a lot of success I might add...I know he had a few run ins with management and he probably wouldn't fit the fifo mold of today...Sometime he looked like he didn't give a crap when they got a shot of him on the bench on occasion....That's when he'd come in and rip off a 30-40 yard run making the opposition look foolish...Luv'd the guy
  8. Yeah I remember that comment by the 'hamburgler'....He picked that name up when he was a 100 pounds over weight and stuffing down 'rotten ronnie's' big burgers...He does seem like a changed man though
  9. ...yeah and I believe he started his comments with the Streve signing....and he's right
  10. .....Trading him to the leo's, where he finished up with a torn achilles, was not the way I would've like to have seen Charlie go out....I think his heart left the game after he left Wpg. and it was just a matter of time until the inevitable....the injury just moved it along a little faster....I rank him along with Leo Lewis as the best this club has ever seen, and even with his smoking and offfield antics,that doesn't change for this fan
  11. Never should have lost them...We were the superior team....just not on that day...All kinds of factors go into that, and that has been discussed over and over again , like we're on a never ending search for what went wrong...I think we have a good idea why we didn't notch that last one, and it seems we actually maybe on the way to correcting things..................................hopefully
  12. Yeah it seems like Jake has fallen off a cliff.....When he was catching everything thrown his way with the Als. and when he left, his game went into the toilet....Hard to figure
  13. ......tick tick CFL Combine March 19-24.......Cfl Draft April 24th.............tick tick tick......tick....tick.....training camp opens May 12th/24'.......tick tick tick....Does that make everyone a little happier (Okay...I'll leave by the back door)
  14. Bailey 'could' return BUT I think we'll only re-sign him at a bargain basement price....He deserves to be paid .....Could we squeeze him in ???would be tough...Now if Zack would shave a bit of his contract like Kelly in T.O. did, we might get it done......should/could we expect it.....probably not....Kind of leaves Bailey hanging in the breeze..I feel for the guy especially knowing how much he loves his team mates and the City.....tough call...very tough
  15. ........I'd say Faj will be quite skeletal waiting for a reply....but keep the dream alive is his motto lol
  16. I can remember vividly the clash between Bud and James and it was mostly over Gerry's going to the Leafs during hockey season...Bud did not want one of his star players getting nic'd in another sport ...especially when they were in the Cup years, hence the disagreement ....I don't know that it was ever bitter, because James was always given the green light to go to the Leafs....but not with Grant's blessing....The contract squabbles I know nothing about, but there were always players who thought they were worth more then.....much like today
  17. I've sat with veterans in the legion many times, and I assure you they would take a lot lighter stance on my comments about a 'football player'/ navy seal and his short tenure here, than you are...I do not kid about the military service of any veteran .....get that straight....As a football player , I think he's fair game in the public venue....Your crusade for the guy is wonderful but I'm sorry, I'm not going to retract or apologize for my comments and my 'lighten up' statement still stands.... AND as a side note ....quoting a guy like 'lyinguy' who called us a bunch of 'aholes' doesn't get you any points around here
  18. Get serious...As a kid of a second world war vet, who put his life on the line for this country , I take umbridge with the insult....I realize what sacrifices are made by these men....I could call you out on the 'assholes' comment but that would just be feeding your bullshit....AND for cripes sake lighten up....I'm sure the seal would see some levity in my comments ...unlike you who is obviously against any levity on this board
  19. the seal was good at anything connected to water....delivery included....I was always waiting for him to try and bounce the ball on the end of his nose....he wasn't doing much else
  20. yup....BOLO is a loss ....He wasn't getting the game time he needed to advance so off he goes....Should have made a deal for him and obtained Mason Bennett ....coulda/ shoulda....counts for nothing and gm's have their own agenda that most don't vary too much from
  21. AND now it looks like Hardrick will finish his career on an abysmal o line....and has gone full circle
  22. News on Kongbo is slim to none.....I hope we move on him soon....Could be he's headed south again
  23. sounds good .....had to search a bit bout' his age ....Born in 99' ...so 25....lots of future there
  24. the info. on the guy is just overwhelming .....so hard to follow .... NOT .....Guess when someone says about him....were you born yesterday....looking at that DOB they'd be right.....LOL.....Would be nice to hear more about the guy
  25. That's a double gut punch hearing both Ploen and Gerry have passed...Ol timers taking a hit hearing their hometown heros are gone.....James was something else in his day....all around athlete ....football, hockey and baseball.....Condolences to his family
