lol, I hadn't even noticed, this should give us a huge edge next season....shouldn't it. Possibly. Will Dickenson have dual roles in Calgary as well?

In & out of jail for most of his adult life. Arrested 20 times for drug possession. Okay, if that's not wasting your life then what is. With Herron's pure football skill he could have done a lot with his life because of the money he made & helped others. He was an addict. He lost everything. Not every player that put on the Bomber uniform is someone to look up to. I was a fan 43 years ago. Not now. The man has died, he's out of any anguish he suffered. You are clueless to Herron's life. His criminal record was a result of lifestyle crimes. Not property crimes. Not violent crimes. Crimes in Canada that a person would not spend time in jail. In fact, players in professional football today, would not be banished for first time drug use. His banishment was in the unenlightened days. He grew up in the third most crime ridden district of 77 in Chicago. You wouldn't be able to walk 15 minutes through that area, Lawndale. Tell the folks in Lawndale they are wasting there lives. Your 15 minutes would be generous. 40% of the adults have not graduated high school. Unemployment approaches 20%. Average income is $11,000.00. Destitute ex footballers is not a new concept. It often goes with the territory and cannot be blamed on bad choices. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/marshall-plan-nfl-retirees-cte-fundraisers-article-1.1594828 I would like to see you alter you're opinion. An opinion that allows for the unimaginable in your view. We are very lucky that we have many more advantages than others. We shouldn't take it for granted.

Two unforeseen unexpected but totally awesome announcements all within the past hour. Bombers announce that Paul La Po is back and McDonalds announces the McRib is back.

The Bombers wont have to pay moving expenses. Save the nickels and the dollars look after themselves.

Iso, To say that Mack Heron wasted his life is an awful comment. Do you have any idea what he went through? He was screwed by the NFL, and being black is far from being an advantage when your poor and need to live in a shitty neighbourhood. Oh, "but it's the facts". You can't do what he's done man. Not in ten lifetimes.

Do the Esks hate the Riders as much as we do? Yes, yes they do. Doesn't everyone hate the Riders? Thanks for the clarification. I just wasn't sure if it was a prairie rivalry or extended further. It's mainly Winnipeg, Calgary, and Edmonton, but most of the league isn't fond of the Riders. Fact: It's because they suck so much. Sadly true this year. Hey Duressler, do you see a bunch of dickhead sk fans also? Or are they only visible to fans from outside sk?

And with a few losses under their belts, the honeymoon will be over. Then a couple more losses, Jones blows his cool with the media and the pitch forks come out. Until that time , we will have to endure the hillbillies planning parade routes.

that's very sad. Really use to enjoy watching his very exciting play. Rumour has it that him and a couple other Bomber players rented a house on Wellington Crescent and had quite the party house. A little guy whit a real heart to run. Rest in Peace Mack.

Sure do realize that. Bearpants said it "exemplifies Winnipeg media". Took that as an example. And it is true that the CSN writer did not distinguish between national and local media types. So maybe the national media types in Canada and the local media types are both underachievers, from an outsiders perspective.

I had to read that paragraph a number of times and still didn't get it completely. Thanks for clarifying and providing context.

And likes it. http://www.csncalifornia.com/article/spectacle-grey-cup-reminds-canadians-being-canadian-fun

Don't mind the Irish. For me it's the Dutch.

That's why their mascot is now named Homer the Brave. (Seriously) Don't know the current Braves mascot, but that does sound less offensive. Chief Noc-a-Homa must have been replaced. Native groups would be offended by Chief Noc-a-Homa as he would get out of his teepee and dance after a Braves home run.actually sounds silly in the present day.

Ha ha. Urban Dictionary has some great definitions for Roughrider. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rough+rider

Napping or just a stocky fella.

Count me in.

Princeton University experiences backlash to political correctness, in the name of free speech. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/princeton-students-stand-up-to-political-correctness-2015-11-24

Real Chinese food is disgusting.....that goes for a lot ofor SE Asian foods.....fish heads are groas too......go ahead and call the thought police or the incredibly misguided wastes of skin people call SJW'sMe and my Filipino buddy always joked about him eating fish heads and me (being white ) eating potatoes.......oh the humanity! The racism!!!!!! Of the many ethnic dishes that I have tried through many travels in foreign land, fruits, vegetables and starches have pretty much all been enjoyable, except for the texture of some fungi. It's the attempts to utilize animal proteins that make the odd dish of cultures particularly inedible. Insects, entrails and small beasts served as squab for example are well beyond any desire for regular consumption in my diet. Clearly, if you'd see what some of the protein consumes before slaughter, you'd not put your mouth there even if your concerned about offending a host.

The author has made the mistake of providing a meaning to the word authentic that does not exist. Authentic is of origin. Origin is a benchmark by which others are measured. authentic Chorizo is not to my tastes. Domestic Chorizo, not so bad.

Miller won't do that with MOS. He'll earn every penny win or lose. I can't imagine the pressure that poor guy will be under next season. Ever worked at a job where you know that your firing is an inevitability? I have & it's a terrible situation. Not really surprising.

Sheesh. Buck Pierce as an OC? He hasn't shown enough to get that job. If they had a job on the squad rappin about brushin his teef, I'd support that appointment.

I'll have to look that one up. And thanks.

Hendrix was sumpin alright. In which universe, did Ron Burgundy pronounce the city as San Diahgo?

In the other universe,Jimmy Hendricks lyrics include "scuse me while I kiss dis guy" And Eldon Johns sings, "hold me closer Tony Danza". And John Prime sings " Your a happy enchilada and you think your gonna drown".
