IC Khari Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Jets were a nice distraction but my heart belongs to the Bombers ... True Blue Baby! Only a month or so til the season! comedygeek, northof60, bigg jay and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Love both, slowly becoming just as diehard about the Jets but I'm ready for some football. Westy Sucks, SPuDS, sweep the leg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm glad we have the Jets back to distract me when football isn't around. Football, CFL in particular, is the sport I'm most passionate about. Thank goodness the draft is around the corner and TC shortly after... I can't wait to see what a conventional D will do for this team. comedygeek and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCoreBlue Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 As soon as the Jets got eliminated, Hockey was over for me. Go Blue. So what's been happening? :-) Ducky and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I love the Bombers and I'm starting to love the Jets. I'm hoping CFL move the start of the regular season 1 month earlier so that our May is NHL playoff and the start of the CFL training camp and there's not much overlapping of Bombers and Jets games. CFL = June - October NHL = October - May Sounds good to me. FrostyWinnipeg and Westy Sucks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 It's hard to be as diehard about the Jets b/c they play so many regular season games. I don't mind missing Jets games during the season, but I'll never miss a Bomber game. A Jets playoff game is close to the same level as a Bombers game for me.

Noeller Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I like hockey, don't get me wrong, but it's 3rd (at best) on my priority list. CFL and the curling tour are far more important to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 maybe after the past few regimes with the bombers, my passion for the bombers has turned to a cautiously optimistic enthusiasm entering seasons. I think last 2 years my interest in the jets has surpassed the bombers tho, but im stil, a bomber fan for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Loved watching the Jets run for the last few months, even attended a few games, but I'd be lying to say I'm not a tiny bit happy they're out. Now people and the media can finally shut up about it. The nationwide Jets circle jerk was insufferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Sucks Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I've always been a football first fan, but the Blue are gonna have to win & soon for the Jets to not take over. Comon Bombers! The jets made the playoffs in a much much more difficult league to do so! What's your excuse Bombers? The Bombers excuses are completely gone this year IMO. It's time to win damn it!!! lol...

NotoriousBIG Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Always love the Bombers. But the fact that the Jets are such a well run, "quality from the ownership down" organization really makes the Bombers look like a comedy of errors.

Mr Dee Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hockey and curling are nice distractions, in the winter, to fill a long off-season from what truly counts...the Bomber season. (And I'm pretty passionate about hockey and curling.) Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, the current Bomber brass have a chance to erase the decades of idiocy if they can pull this together...finally...not really holding my breath though...

But the fact that the Jets are such a well run, "quality from the ownership down" organization really makes the Bombers look like a comedy of errors. I didn't hear of any Bomber players being tossed in the shower for disrespecting the team or the coach. The Jets have their problems, the Bombers have theirs. The Jets aren't perfect either, and get cut a lot more slack than the Bombers do too, in my humble opinion. I really like the direction that Kyle and Wade have taken. Job one was finding a QB. Job 2 was putting quality scouting in place, in Canada AND the USA. Job 3 was finding a good coaching staff. They've done that. And we're about to see those moves finally bear fruit this year.

Jpan85 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cant say that the Bombers are mismanaged organization anymore. From the top to the bottom now there is a clear plan. Tracker and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 and further to this current train of thought, as much as I love what Chipman and True North have done for the city, the level of adoration is starting to go a little far.

Goalie Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Have to admit, been a hockey fan all my life, played it growing up, just love it.. even when the Jets weren't around.. Now that they are back tho.. sweet really but.. due to the length of the season and the number of games they play, if i miss a Jets game, it's kind of like MEH, oh well... If i miss a bomber game, i'm not too happy about it. 18 games really vs 82 plus really. pre-season,playoffs etc... Jets probably played well over 90 almost 100 games including pre-season this year. Bombers will probably play what? 20? 22 at the most? Football in my opinion is a lot more exciting to watch too, just due to the fact that pretty much every game matters. In the NHL, meh, look at the wild and sens, sucked for half a year, got hot at the right time and made the playoffs, one team is out, the other will probably go to the western conference finals. northof60 and Yourface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northof60 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Like most Canadians, I grew up playing hockey - I started as soon as I could walk, and I was pretty good. I loved the sport. I remember being five or six and listening to the playoffs on CBC radio in bed when I was suppose to be sleeping. That was all I needed...Then I found Football around grade 7, and hockey took a backseat. The sport was an addition for me. We'd toss around the ball for hours, or run routes, anything, just to play football.I'll play it, talk the sport for hours, and duel it out on Madden because for me...the season doesn't end. I watch the CFL, NFL and College ball.For me, hockey season doesn't start until after the Superbowl, and the reason playoff hockey is so good is because the games actually matter - That's what the NFL & CFL do so well. Games matter.It's my favorite time of the year coming up, training camp, start of the CFL season, NFL right around the corner. Great times coming!Go Bombers!

The Jets are in big danger of becoming the Riders of the NHL and that's not a compliment. Noeller, northof60, comedygeek and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
