  1. I don't know about that, dysentery left many bodies along the oregon trail.......
  2. this is what Bowman was preparing us for
  3. Winnipeg is now West of Regina? Or did you come to the wrong site?
  4. The part I try not to think about is the JSK still has NFL aspirations and Bighill is only on a one year deal.
  5. Stegall and Doug Brown won 0 cups, guess those guys weren't worth having either, should have looked for a better receiver than shoddy old 85 if we wanted to win
  6. I saw it was Brodbeck and almost didn't read it, so be glad twitter is blocked
  7. did you read the article? The portion of the loan this is referring to is the portion that was supposed to be paid from property tax from development of the old stadium site. Not the portion the Bombers are paying and will continue to pay.
  8. I prefer Winnipeg with the most points for. We've suffered through some anemic offensive outputs. A few years ago 353 points in 18 games, we're already at 199 through 6 this year. Not to take anything away from Calgary, I'm just happy to see a Winnipeg team that can put points on the board.
  9. interesting yes, although in the CFL I don't necessarily want to hear. If it's the NHL/NBA/MLB/NFL then sure, even if it make them look bad, they're getting paid well enough to deal with the publicity stuff. In the CFL I think they deserve a bit more of their privacy. If I get fired from my job, the reason is between me and my company, and I make more than some CFL players. So I'm ok with respecting players privacy.
  10. just personal opinion, I wasn't upset when he left.
  11. stupid penalties outweigh his talent. Good player, but I don't miss him.
  12. apparently my point wasn't clear. He said they have some responsibility not to be because they play football, implying the rest of us don't, which obviously we all should be expected to not be rapists and wife beaters
  13. So I have no responsibility to not be a rapist wife beater? Awesome
  14. the league also said they won't approve any contract if someone else tries to sign him. So he's been blackballed without any due process
  15. It wasn't that long ago many here were complaining about us using taking multiple receivers in this last draft.....
  16. It can be tough to find the middle ground between what's going to be a decent discussion, and what's a waste of time. I do find that almost anytime I open a thread and wonder why does this thread exist, that yes it's opened by BigBlue. On the flip side, I tend to come on to see what's being discussed, and not starting discussion myself. It may come down to visiting habits. I find when I have time to check daily, new small threads tend to be an annoyance because I'm caught up on everything in the big threads. When I can't get on daily and I come on after a week 20 new pages in a big thread can seem daunting and I'd prefer there were more specific threads so I could decide what to get caught up on. With that said, I'll read the content regardless of format. I get liberal with the block button for the people whose thoughts I don't want (and sometimes that ends up in an entire page being redacted. My guess would be the casual readers prefer smaller threads, and the every day guys prefer the big threads.
  17. Maybe I'm a ****, but you put your sons long term health at risk by not deciding his health mattered more than football and picking a treatment option that was better for football than for his health.
  18. Are you implying he might play for another team? If he's healthy enough to play he's way too good to not have a place for him. Or are you implying he won't be healthy enough to play or play like has has in the past?
  19. I think it's ok to be happy with Montreals' QB situation. How many times did we run into Calvillo in the playoffs
  20. the PLOP formula is required yards/2 = play call yards. So when we need 8 he'll actually call a 4 yard play not a 6 yard play.
  21. didn't bond tweet something like he wasn't going anywhere to play tackle?
  22. I'm assuming you meant to say there isn't a test to show CTE when you're still alive. I'm not sure of where it sits exactly, but they detected CTE in a living person for the first time 2-3 months ago (confirmed after his death unfortunately). The study was in the Journal of neuroscience at the end of November I think, from the doctor who first discovered CTE (the guy Will Smith played in the movie). So really there's a lot of work to still do to have a verified reliable way to confirm in the living, but they're making progress with the testing.
  23. I've had employees leave for a variety of reasons. One decided she wanted to go to Denmark. She was one of my best employees. One of my current best is considering a change. I told them both the same thing. If you're going to be happier in a different situation, from a professional standpoint I hate to lose you, but from a personal standpoint I'm happy for you and wish you luck. So if he can't work it out with the Argo's, I can't fault him for choosing the situation that's better for him or his family, even though it sucks to lose him from the league.
  24. quick trademark search shows WWE abandoned the trademark on it in 2003. In December 2017 Alpha trademarked it. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4810:jagwo7.2.2
