His animal rescue work alone has made a lifelong fan out of me. True gem.

With which part? Pro/retired pros not threatening civilians? Really? So Malice at The Palace stuff is okay? 

I think he means with you in general, cant ask him to comment on that when you cant supply the link to what he said. 

Anyways, apologies to all for high jacking this Bombers-Elks thread.

Won't happen again. 

Go Bombers!

I don't think he threatened anyone. He offered to protect vulnerable people from bullies. 

It is ******* hilarious that someone is questioning the integrity of a guy like Rush, whose charitable contributions to Winnipeg and Manitoba are near legend, as detailed in this thread. Jesus Christ, some people...

Does he work with Chris Cvetkovic in his charity?  Just curious because I remember Chris had an animal charity as well.

I don't like that a Bomber alum is promoting murder on twitter. Classless, a black mark on this team I love so dearly. Rush should be ashamed, honestly. (/s for you humorless folks)

 

I found the tweet that triggered this whole thing, by the way:

No mention of actually beating anyone up, but the implication is obviously there... oh well, some of those aggressive anti-vaxxers blocking entryways and screaming at patients could use a shot to the jaw

Whole heartedly support Rush in this and would offer the same thing.

I see the Bombers taking 2 of 3 against the Elks. I would be totally shocked with a sweep. It’s hard enough winning back to back games against a team. I would even go as far as saying we lose tomorrow and take the next 2 against them. Hope they prove me wrong!

So you don’t think they will sweep, but you actually pick them to win the back-to-back portion which is the hard part. Hmmm………

My bad I thought we played Edm, Edm, BC, Edm. 
 

Either way I still think we go 2-1. 

I hate these back to back games.

Let's not get overconfident. I'd rather be the underdog every game. It served us well in 2019.

Makes me very proud that he's a Bomber alum. 

My gawd I miss Winnipeg when I hear this. 

 

Living in 'Berta its hard to hear a balanced view on society.  

 

I love you Winnipeg.  I love the bombers and our fans.

I don't think they'll lose to the Elks while Harris is out. Not with the Jeffs putting heat on a green QB...

If there is a trap game coming up - I think it'll be against game wrecker Reilly in BC...

While I think we should not have trouble with the Elks given how each team has played so far this year, the big scare is Wilder Jr. He is the league’s leading rusher by a good bit, our defensive Achille’s Heel (as much as we have one) so far has been the spotty run defence at times, and with Harris out they may balance their attack more. Last week’s offensive upswing by Collaros and the gang leaves me confident that it can help out the defence more than it did in the first four weeks, so maybe even a let down from the unconscious level our D has been playing at can be better compensated by our offence. Edmonton is a mystery in that they have (on paper) some real offensive weapons yet have not been putting up the points. That porous o-line must be an even bigger factor than I would think.

You sound exactly like my brother, who lives in Olds. I feel for you man. 

I’m in Edmonton right now for a medical trip for my daughter. At least here the general attitude towards masking seems more or less like Winnipeg.

I don’t think this version of the Bombers will fall into a trap, but there’s just something about BC Place..so many goofy games there in this Bomber era.

We will see.  If they can prevent explosion plays to Burnham & Co. we will win. 

If they let Reilly buy time too often...there could be trouble...

He can make you pay - no matter how good you are.
