  • Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

  • Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

    Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

So, for all of you who claim they know how the cap works (Like Mike here & others) who scolded me that I don't  when I questioned how things were being operated earlier, you have no better idea how things work than anyone else here. But thanks for stopping by & telling me I know nothing when you don't either.

I mean, wasn’t I the one who said nobody was going to change anything with that news? Which is exactly what happened? I don’t know why you’re trying to come at me, this did exactly what I said it would do while I was being called an idiot for suggesting it lmao

I guess looking at the glass half full... maybe with that $400 000 they can extend guys who are on their last year and throw that money as bonuses and give those players smaller salaries for the next year or two?   

They would be a great use of some of the money. 
 I think they will also give more money to some rookies to get them north earlier than they might’ve normally come. 
 

plus I think we still take one or more free agent stabs at mid level starters/rotational guys.

I'm grinding your gears in a half kidding mode (not looking for a fight) because I made a comment about the salary cap last week or the week before. Your response directly to me here was that you are tired of people commenting about the salary cap when they don't understand how it works. I'm sure you remember. I'm just sending you a response saying no one really knows how the Bombers decide to use the cap or really knowss how it works. I'm just making a comment in response. I respect your knowledge here when it comes to the CFL. 

who is Shay Patterson QB?

 

Already on social media the Bombers are being called cheapskates.

Doesn't everybody get all their advice from social media?

Far far too many people sadly

Which social media cuz technically all of this is social media now. This site is a bit more how do you say it? Less r worded than the fans on Facebook and X it would appear. I don’t believe any of the FB or X fans post here do they. I can’t tell if the ones on those sites are serious or not. Also lots of fake news on there. The cheapskate article is Paul Friesen by the way. Shocking. And it just seems like lots but really it’s 500 ppl and 450 are rider fans who troll every bombers post. The cheapskate article is interesting only cuz so many rider trolls think we go over the cap every year already.

Actually, I was wrong. It was the Winnipeg Sun headline that called the Bombers penny pinchers.

As I said before, at least Friesen calls it like he sees them. Like the media used to do years ago. I have no problem with his reporting style.

Only when that voice is saying the same narrative you want to agree with 😀

So many layers peeled away...this morning...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Freisen is a hack. He's always taken shots at the Bombers. "They're cheap skates!" because they're spending the amount they can spend? So dumb. It's a click bate narrative for low iq football fans

I don't even look at the comments on those posts. They're often "Why didn't they trade for Rourke?" "We should have signed Micah Johnson" type of barely coherent stuff....or the flip side "Jake Thomas coming back is HUGE!"

Is  this site tho a state run site for news/commentary...so to speak?..Apparently I got a inappropriate language warning for saying tugger by one the "powers that be" I guess moving forward I will use "kisser"   as in kiss the ring..."bender" as in bemd the knee to....or "licker"...as in boot licker...all terms and phrases used and acceptable in mainstream media.....if you choose to think of it as something else....you know who you are...then thats your sick mind....not mine

But here's a thought....how bout a room that is for the non thin skinned benders?....make it password protected and you need it to gain entry so the easily offended cant stray into it ad be offended?

Where tugging...bending and criticism can freely flow and be discussed?...and opinions that vatu be discussed without bias?...I'll even offer to moderate and I sure there some others be nore than happy to as well, tho I doubt with how you access it there would be much need for moderation as personal attacks and bias wont really be an issue....I would even offer some more insider and out of the horses mouth info/content as well which I would never share here....how bout it?....Boss

I remember an intrepid crew that grew restless with their existing football forum, so they left and made their own. Today it's the best football forum on the internet with free membership, multiple cash prizes, and <cough> insider info. I challenge anyone that thinks they could do better to go ahead and do it, we'd love to see it

Very true though in other cases where proven facts are being presented (e,g., brushing your teeth is good for your dental health) that some human beings don't like this fact cuz it inconveniences their life they'll throw this word narrative out as cover, as in 'that's just your narrative'. Nope not my narrative, brushing your teeth is good for your dental health regardless of your likes and dislikes.

Yes I'm exaggerating a bit with this example but not exaggerating in the type of environment we currently live in.

Now back to football, Go Bombers, Friesen's a click bait idiot who thinks he's clever.
