  1. They are obviously following the unwritten CFL rule/gentleman's agreement from the other 8 teams... given the opportunity, crush the 'Riders by as many points as possible.
  2. No amount of smuggled pot cookies from Duron Carters' luggage will mask the stink of this game.
  3. I am holding out hope that the powers that be are just trying to shake things up and give some fresh meat a chance returning kicks.
  4. Wait wait wait...this is the same Montreal team so desperate to sell tickets they are currently offering discounted tickets ($10) for fans to attend just the fourth quarter? https://en.montrealalouettes.com/q4-tickets/
  5. 2018-06-15 Edmonton at Winnipeg Thunder with lightning, Investor's Group field should have Had a frigging roof
  6. Sa·cré bleu!
  7. So when Westerman takes his patented 5-yard offside penalties...does he have to swear in French now?
  8. Donald Trump, is that you with your fake news?
  9. Right - still not good enough though in my opinion.
  10. I think the bigger concern with the defense is the fact they had 0 turnovers in the game. At least last year we were giving up chunks of yards whilst getting turnovers....
  11. I don't care what astrologists say, the summer solstice is today and summer starts now!
  12. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the problem with this solution be that the incoming landlord could hypothetically charge pretty much whatever they want? I mean from the perspective of the Bombers, at that point their only alternative would be to build a new stadium. Wouldn't doing this effectively be giving the new landlord a monopoly on professional football?
  13. Very good points - not to completely derail this topic, but interestingly enough it appears the litigation by Triple B against RAYMOND S.C. WAN ARCHITECT INC is still ongoing. For anyone else looking for dirt on Triple B (or anyone else for that matter) the Manitoba Court Registry offers a free, publicly accessible search engine that lets you search by name for any court proceedings. It doesn't provide a whole lot of detail, but you can at the very least see where a litigation stands, and if it is still pending. It can be found here: http://www.jus.gov.mb.ca/
  14. I don't think anyone would disagree that the stadium fiasco has cost the Bombers, however the idea of the Province forgiving the debt just so the Bombers can be back in the black is just silly. They've managed to carry the debt thus far without issue, so I don't see why they'd need a helping hand to begin with. Even if they were in trouble financially, the crusade the Pallister government is currently on is to eliminate debt for the Province - not create more of it.
  15. I know its not a popular opinion, but I'd be fine if the Province just paid off my mortgage and gave me a pass. I'd be a very wealthy citizen if that was the case, I suppose it doesn't matter since I don't have to be profitable, as long as I'm breaking even, paying my bills and being a solid citizen.
  16. The 'Riders balance their books the same way the liberals do.... they don't
  17. I think it's actually "Signer em et le comprendre plus ****!" If at your job you received say, 3 months salary from your employer then were let go and you worked in a very competitive field, would you be in a hurry to go out and take the first job offer you could find? It's the off-season, I know we're all impatient, but for all we know maybe Muamba is simply doing some soul-searching before putting ink to paper.
  18. C'mon cut the guy some slack... nobody looks good playing in green and white.
  19. I didn't know the 'Riders fight song was on YouTube!
  20. Oh alright then, carry on...
  21. I am disagreeing with this as a sign of protest for you changing your avatar picture. I miss that goofy wolf-thing already.
  22. Obviously it's not a big deal if the receivers come up short on 2nd down - we'll just call a fake on 3rd down!
