If the CFL refs learn from the NFL refs what professional performance is, then the CFL and the fan experience will be much further ahead. As a result, salary increases for their part time gigs would be justified.

Encouraging that the CFL is holding officials to a performance standard. Huge step forward. Three zebras whacked. Five demoted to CIS. Bout effen time sanctions are taken with poor performance. End of article beneath "Under further review". http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/cleaning-up-the-cfl-game-375635471.html Who were the three whacked? Did they affect us at all?

Nothing brings so much joy to my heart than the SK zombies continuing to make fools of themselves with applauding lack of innovation, whilst, they believe they are moving forward.

I see what they did there. Yup. Genius'.

I would like for the Bombers to install a teleportation system that actually leaves ALL our parts downtown. Com'on Wade. We're still in the dark ages. Last time I used their crap system, there were body parts strewn from the University to the Shark Club. The club had no place to place the admission stamp. It took three friggin hours for all my arms and all my legs to catch up and reattach.

So the plaintiff holds up what is suppose to be a 22 Slide proposal. Ironically, he uses the Redblacks trademark on the cover of the proposal.

That sk folks know very well how to help Jack on the horse, and help Jack off the horse. That rider fans can eat watermelon through a picket fence. They steal straw from their own mothers kennel.

Sarkoz71. Your delusional if you don't see delusional fans in your favoured squad. Your delusional if you think bomber fans care about your delusional views. The reason they don't care is, because your delusional, and have deluded yourself into thinking that that your not delusional.

Zippity do da, zippity day...

Breath in, breath out, inhale slowly, exhale. That's it big fella. Now relax. Just bring it down a notch. You can't control everything. A stroke isn't worth it.

When you say it with this example, you make a good point.

From the web on Kroenke Kroenke has an estimated net worth of $5.6 billion as of March 2014. His wife Ann Walton Kroenke has an estimated net worth of $4.8 billion as of March 2014. 2001 was the last year he disclosed his ownership of Walmart shares; he was required to disclose his ownership because he was on the board of directors until that year. At that time, he owned 1,081,827 shares individually as well as 61,781,928 indirectly (i.e., with shared voting and investment power). If Stan still owned these combined 62,863,755 shares today, they would be equal to a 1.91% stake in the company. also seems to own a company that owns other pro sports franchises. Sports teams Kroenke Sports Enterprises LLC/Kroenke Sports& Entertainment LLC (1999-present): A large portion of Kroenke’s business is conducted through Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, LLC (KSE), which also does business as Kroenke Sports Enterprises, LLC. Stan Kroenke owns the company, which in turn owns the Denver Nuggets (National Basketball Association), the Colorado Avalanche (National Hockey League), the Colorado Mammoth (National Lacrosse League), and the Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer). The Nuggets are the 20th most valuable NBA team, worth an estimated $495 million by Forbes in January 2014. The Avalanche is worth an estimated $337 million (as of November 2013). Because of NFL cross-ownership rules, when Kroenke took over the St. Louis Rams in 2010, he was required to pass on-the-ground control of the Nuggets and the Avalanche to his son Josh Kroenke, and he is required to give up his controlling stake in the teams by 2014. KSE owns many subsidiaries, including: Altitude Sports & Entertainment, created by Kroenke in 2004, a 24-hour regional sports TV network in Colorado that provides coverage of Kroenke’s Colorado teams. Altitude Authentics, the official retail provider for KSE teams, selling team-branded gear for the Nuggets, Avalanche, Mammoth and Rapids. Tickethorse, the official ticket vendor for KSE teams and venues. Properties owned by KSE include the Pepsi Center (Denver; home to the Nuggets, Avalanche and Mammoth), ****’s Sporting Goods Park (Commerce City, CO; home to the Rapids); and Paramount Theatre, an historic venue in downtown Denver. St. Louis Rams (1995-present): Kroenke is the sole owner of the National Football League’s St. Louis Rams. He purchased a 40% stake when the team moved to St. Louis in 1995, after having reportedly been involved in convincing the team to move to the city from Los Angeles, and gained control in 2010, when he paid $450 million to the children of Georgia Frontiere (deceased), former 60% owner of the team, for their shares as well as lease of the stadium. The team is worth an estimated $875 million as of August 2013. Arsenal (2007-present): Kroenke started buying shares of Arsenal, an English Premier League soccer team, in 2007, and acquired a controlling stake in 2011. He currently owns 66.82% of team, and under ownership rules, is required to make a mandatory cash offer for the remaining shares in the near future, though it is unlikely that the minority shareholder will accept the offer. The team is worth an estimated $1.3 billion (as of April 2013). Real estate ventures THF Realty (1990-present): In 1990, Kroenke co-founded THF (“To Have Fun”) Realty, a St. Louis-based real estate development company worth $2 billion, with friend Michael Staenberg. THF owns properties, primarily shopping developments, many of which are home to Walmart stores, in roughly half the states in the US. In 2007, a THF executive stated that 50-60% of the company’s developments had Walmart as a tenant. Kroenke and Staenberg are currently entangled in a legal battle over how to end their business partnership. http://walmart1percent.org/family-tree/stan-kroenke/

Great to see the NFL returning to L.A. I would be so cheesed if I was a St. Louis fan. The owner of the Rams, Kroenke, certainly not suffering financially being in St. L. Will have more money than God once the move gets done.

Inspector Clouseau. I knew it!

It very well may have been him. Often he's around the Peg with a woman nearby during the summer. Have literally bumped into him, and a woman, at an ice cream shop on Henderson.

Why would people find disappointment in this news? I'm glad there is some success with the WBB.

Well, thanks for the upgrade, your efforts to run the site and the generosity to Big Brothers and Sisters. I'll ensure the ads are clicked from my end. Might even buy something from them. Thanks again!

Clean and modern. Well done. Can I ask how MBB.com gets financed for the changes and ongoing expenses?

Exactly. The Bomber organization is responsible for the actions of its employees. Even if the employees act in good faith but still make a mistake, the Bombers arevicariously responsible for the error.

Lotteries are not the core business of the Bombers. They are trying to do good with the 50-50 being a charity. Good on them. It does seem that for all the good they are trying to achieve they have only hurt themselves. There are lessons in business of poor optics being turned into renewed integrity. Part of fixing this situation they need to get in front of this story, and appear humble and proactive to fix the draw in the future. They don't have to reinvent the wheel, but certainly could use a lesson or two from other down grading incidents, http://www.businessinsider.com/pr-disasters-crisis-management-2011-5?op=1

Apparently taxi drivers in Toronto demonstrated today and compared Uber Ride Sharing to ISIS. wtf.

They should throw themselves on the sword to apologize and get a professional accounting firm to run that program. They are extremely fortunate it worked out.

This part made zero sense to me, too. The Dallas "Stars" are just as much a corporation. Look, if there was some history of TNSE or hockey fans or Winnipeggers in general being disrespectful - then sure, maybe something to it. Fact is, I think we're the opposite. The organization has done "Military Nights" for many years. They've donated large sums of money before. They're whole freakin' name & identity is a sign of appreciation AND one the Air Force endorsed, with Chipman and co. and they have the Maple Leaf on the logo.

Ironically the picture accompanying the article contains a charicature of Her Majesty. Agree that it's pointless.

The professional sports world is taking some action. In the NHL there are two additional therapists per game observing play and following the concussion protocol if concussion is possible. one therapist at ice level and a second upstairs. The observation is not just after a thunderous hit, it can be as a result of any type of slip, fall, or collision. The brutal sport of football has its work cut out for it to make the game demonstrably safer for the players. It can be argued that there is inherent risk to playing the game. That argument becomes thin if no meaningful action is taken by the league. The $750,000,000.00 dollars paid out by the NFL is just the tip of the iceberg. It seemed like a lot of money but the players needed some immediate assistance. The amount could easily have been many multiples of 750 mil.
