Wait! Whaaaat?! Are you saying JC Abbott is a hack and is a journalist in self-proclaimed name only?

I swear Noeller just wants the whole league to fold and for us to just announce ourselves as Grey Cup Champions every year.

I would rather see the whole league healthy... Calgary is a real potential toronto-esque sore spot the way this city "supports" the team.

Re: Sankey... More to it, apparently:

Still don't want another trouble spot in the league. I guess what I am saying is calgary sports fans.... be better.

Yeah he would have to stay on it..as it's a signed contract ..but I expect a restructure and extension...not huge money this yr but if he continues the success 2024 will be significantly higher

Stayed up for the first goal. Kind of felt, as soon as they got their legs under them and score a goal, it would be over. And, I was right. Playing Chicago, after 11 days, was a gift.

JC Abbott all last year: Rourke... Rourke...Rourke... Rourke... ROURKE!!!! ARRRRG....

Was so frustrating listening to him fawn over Rourke last year. Especially his inability to understand that half a season of work isn't more impressive than a full season of work.

Only way they can retain....over pay...and will be same to attract new...too funny

Justin Lawrence, Michael Couture, Sukh Chung, Drew Desjarlais, Figeroa, Dennis, that is a lot of olman that O'Day failed to land.

Because, he's still on his rookie deal

I'm not sure why people keep implying that Schoen would stay on his rookie deal, if he returns to Winnipeg.

I had no idea Stanley was playing until late in the 2nd. Guess that's a good thing. Johnson for CHI had a good game but they have 3 Johnson's on their team so I can't tell you which one it was

I don't understand where this thought process comes from that it would be a good fit....

Breaded veal cutlets, fries, beef gravy and a beer at Cathay House. If you never had this, you're not a true Winnipeger. 😅

Can someone just reset this timeline already?

Cool. Tempt Fate, then.

I know a few Stamps fans & they are livid with the loss of Orimolade & Thurman. Now, Lemon?? Impact players are leaving & they aren't signing any free agents. According to Danny Austin, the former beat writer of the Stamps who now covers the Flames for Postmedia in Calgary tweeted a couple of days ago that the Stamps have no money. A once promising team that looked like it may be a legit contender for the Grey Cup has lost many pieces of that team. I asked Austin why the team has no money? Is it ownership (Murray Edwards) not wanting to spend the money as the team is for sale? Or is Dickenson just being cheap? Austin never answered which is kinda typical for the guy. I've found that he's kind of a stuck up guy who always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. Whatever is happening, the team is being grinded down & fans are being affected. The team used to engage its base with fan friendly events but now they have very few events. They no longer do the Women's football clinics where female fans are introduced to the game. Coaches & players used to attend & it was a big hit. They used to have an Open House with fans where they could meet the players & coaches. There was a question & answer period with John Hufnagel when he was Head oach & GM. They served food & it was really a great atmosphere. That's gone. The team is absolutely invisible in Calgary in the off season. It's like there is no team. Living here, I've never seen it like this. I fear a situation like Edmonton where no one shows up. The fans I know are not renewing based on what they see as bad ownership & taking their money under false pretenses. That is, not fielding the best team that they can. One guy has been a season ticket holder for over fourty years & he told me he's done.

Okay: If you're going to critique my list, you should first offer some names of your own. "She (Clara Hughes) is the National Spokesperson for Bell Canada’s Mental Health initiative and the ‘Let’s Talk’ campaign. By sharing past struggles with depression, Clara has helped break down the stigma associated with mental illness." Her contributions go far beyond her athleticism. Feel free to point me to Cindy Klassen's non-athletic contributions - not saying there aren't any - but it's on you to elaborate. Why am I even trying to justify my choices to someone who spams the TV thread with the most mundane TV "news"? I mean: Posted January 13 by iHeart Well I know what I'm doing this summer https://tvline.com/2023/01/13/riverdale-season-7-date-nancy-drew-season-4-premiere-the-cw/

Well, that means his brain is still working. You may notice that Sankey said that he "loved being apart of it" (the Riders) rather than he loved "being a part of it". A Freudian slip?

Sure. But I don't think the club will treat him that - they will restructure, as Booch suggests. I dislike the stuff that DT is tweeting, saying "the Bombers will gain 150-200K in additional value from Schoen's contract."

Dunk said Williams was traded because BC felt the guy behind him was ready - it was clear they traded him because he wasn’t signing next year and got decent value. He also said the Bombers are going younger at C with Kolankowski despite Couture being younger. I don’t hate 3DN but their personal opinions are basically without merit.

We're just too damn good in the db dept......helluva position to be in .. Mike Jones is a quality guy and would fit right in

Or Obby gets him a 200k per year job at Schwarma Khan somehow

Another good online guy off board...Sask gonna have to sift thru the also rans...again...looks good on them

I think for the first time in his career I have a level of respect for Sankey. I wonder if the rest of the facts would have been shared from the agent if asked, or if we get to hear them once he signs somewhere.

Sankey turned the latest rider offer down. Would have made him 2nd highest imp LB in the league

Pizza Hut pizzas are so greasy you can floor surf with them. Fonzie & Elvis could comb their hair with them.

Wheeler with 40 points in 44 games now. For a guy people want to bump down to the 3rd or 4th line, he is still playing up to the value of his contract, IMO.

Jets kind of sleeping this period.

Calgary doesn’t have 1/20th of the **** TO has.

Thomas Scott! My vote is for Monty Hall.

You LOVE to see it....

Edmonton has more than replaced Lawler too. They are the only ones who can talk to him after today.

The tampering window is just to make public and official what teams were already doing. That is why it exists and it is fine.

How's that hangover treating you @Wideleft? Greasy eggs and a white cherry Gatorade should sort you out

Toronto mayor John Tory cancelled

New HC and Head of Football Operations for his former junior team:

good for him... worth every penny. If he and Kyrie Wilson stay healthy this year, our entire defense is going to look so good.

Looks like the Bombers reworked Brandon Alexander's contract according to the CFL transactions page. My guess is he got a bump in salary as he only made 77k last season.

I love the incredible of good ethnic foods available in Winnipeg and have come to relish many of them.

Impressive. Most Riders tear their Achilles in training camp.

But, seriously, they're not doing anything.

Lol. Seems to me you patronize some Selkirk establishments...
