  1. One pass rusher holds Willy while another goes straight at him full force leading with his helmut. If that is not intent to injure then I have never seen it in 50+ years of watching football.

     

    In hockey the punishment would be severe for that... part or all of a season.

     

     

    The Zebra's yawned .... ever hear of spearing, hit-to-the- head, or even UNNECESSARY roughness?

     

    Ever hear of an unwritten players code-of-conduct?

     

     

    The League has to go past fining players for intent to injure. They need to suspend players for multiple games. Suspend Tom Brady for 4 games for football deflation. What does this rate?

    Totally agree.

    What the **** were the refs looking at? There should be a suspension and fine. The ref should also be fined for missing the call.

     

    The coach should be giving permission to the oline to go after any player that cheap shots our qb. Time to start sending a message to other teams that this **** won't go unpunished.

    I'd be willing to trade Brohm for a defensive starter or for a 1st round pick which gives us more options come drafting time. If the news is true we are already signing another quarterback to the PR so they obviously know that one of our QB's are not going to make it

    That's nothing. Why would you want to give a team their potential starting QB for the rest of the season for such a low price? If we're going to give away our QB depth, it better be for a kings ransom. 2 first round picks or a first and two seconds. That's the starting point and it only goes up from there.

     

     

    If we could get that for Brohm I sure hope Walters would take it.

    How does park and ride work if you need to leave the game early? Is there some place to park within walking distance the game? (even if I have to give my son a piggy back ride)

    We never left a game early, because darn it, it was the 1970's and my dad paid dearly for those seats (even if someone gave him tickets) and we were going to watch every second, and if I didn't like it, that was just too bad, no more games for me. Red Forman was kind of the model for dads in the 1970's. Plus, I was never bored so that helped too. From the first play of the first game I ever attended at age 6, I was smitten. I hope your son is too.

     

    I get that.. But its supposed to be pouring out and 2-3 hours is a long time to be sitting in one sport for an almost 5 year old.. and i'm not sure how well he is going to do with the crowd.. He was fine at the jets jame and yelled go jets go pretty much the whole time but we were alot closer to the action there.

     

    That, and i want him to enjoy it and be up to going with me again.. Be he has been asking for two years but he has yet to watch a whole game with me yet on tv. But he did sit through most of the first preseason game with the choppy feed..  Guess we will find out.. I can always catch a cab or a normal bus back to taylor and pembina.

     

     

    Last year my boy made it until the 3rd quarter before he was ready to leave. He was only 3 and a half.

    Bring some snacks. May keep him occupied longer.

    We'll never see the Jet Packs again. Where fans could pick up to 20 home games to attend. I remember they had 10 & 20 game Jet Packs for sale. And I think first choice on playoff tickets as well same seats.

     

    I have a 1/2 season package to the Jets I got in their first year back. The seat owners alternate between getting the home opener and first right of refusal for playoff tickets. I don't believe they've been discontinued?

     

    Jet Packs were like 10, 15 & 20 games. You basically picked the games you wanted to see.That's because everybody hated the Arena & people stayed away so the Jets marketed the team that way. It was the worst building in the NHL at the time. Only 7,000 to 8,000 season tickets & average crowds of 12-13,000.

     

     

     

    and you could get game day tickets at 7-11. Think safeway had them at one time also.

  5. It's easy to say that we won't land Heenan because the Bombers are historically cheap asses, and because the Riders love keeping their homegrowns.

     

    The reality is that the new regime's #1 focus is on improving the WBB's CanCon, and #1b is on fixing the OL.  With Heenan, that's 2 birds with one stone, and I really think they'll spend to the cap to do it for a marquee NI lineman.  The other reality is that with Heenan expected to draw top-of-market offers for an OL... there's only so much cap magic the Riders can weave. 

    They dropped Picard. That should free up some cash.

  6. Also, Montreal is an awesome city, a great combination of inexpensive and elegant. It doesn't have Vancouver / Toronto's cost of living, it's much nicer than Hamilton, and it doesn't have the relative isolation / hard-to-reachness of the west.

    relative isolation / hard-to-reachness of the west....?????

    What ever happened to Lisa Best, the Park Pontiac girl?

    Didnt she date Sam Katz for awhile?

     

    There was another local girl I liked for awhile...what was her name, Jennifer Rattray maybe?  Does that sound right?  And who could forget Janice Mackey (PJ Jazzy Jan).  I'd watch the news just for her.

     

     

     

    I think she dated Bundy.
