  1. Kelly wants out as soon as his contract is over. He's said that a number of times. That's the problem. We can't keep our young stars. They have him on that shitty cheap CFL entry contract that's paid in Can $$$. We also know that no matter how well he plays the Argos won't offer to renegotiate. And players also have the out where even players under contract can have NFL tryouts. So, even if Kelly signs a new deal he could still leave. If the CFL wants to build stars to grow the game in popularity then they have to close these loopholes no mateer what the Players Association says. They need to understand that they're lucky there's still a league here for them to play in. Just my 2 cents.
  2. My esophagus is as strong as an elephant. Brady would be proud.
  3. My side? Look in a mirror before you spew your rhetoric. I'd call you, pal but that you ain't.
  4. I suffered no such loss. How can you guys hate someone so much yet you don't even know him?? It's no wonder we've had wars & suffering today & in the past. I asked a question, JCon. You just rolled your eyes.
  5. If you look in a dictionary, the word native has more than one meaning.
  6. That's your opinion.
  7. Gcn20 asked you to leave him alone yet you kept baiting him like now. I'll say what he should have said to you. Take your left wing garbage & shove it. You're an asshat.
  8. Be the better person. Just ignore Wideleft & walk away.
  9. The word native also refers to where a person was born. As in, being a native of Winnipeg. You mean, that's offensive now?
  10. Why do you want to stay???
  11. Apparently players still want out of Calgary even though Treliving & Sutter are gone. It seems that this problem of signing players isn't just in Winnipeg.
  12. Gizmo had 31 returns for TDs called back. Giz is the greatest. Grant though is very good as well. I'm glad he's on our side.
  13. Huge swaths? PPC currently checks in at 2% of the popular vote. And Bernier is currently at 0-4. Guibault is an extremist. Trudeau recruited him with the express desire for him to take over the Environment to do his dirty work.
  14. Amen & it's tearing our country apart.
  15. There are some Conservative policies I don't like as well as some CPC politicians but overall I think that we desperately need a change. I also think the CPC will provide us with better government. That's how I feel & nothing will change it. And yeah, for every right wing crazy thre's a left wing crazy as well. There are left wing zealots in the Liberal & NDP as well.
  16. No, not at all. The PPC are a party of anti vaxxers, religious zealots, pro life & conspiracy theorists. None of which I am. I think Bernier is a total fool & has created the PPC & says whatever he thinks will get him votes. I would never vote for him or the PPC. I'm a CPC supporter. I laughed when I read he lost.
  17. I feel bad for Wheeler. He's given a lot to the Winnipeg community. He should retire.
  18. My bad, as Cornelius has Jarious Jackson as a qb coach. And the Bombers will have both here next season. If the market says a receiver is worth $300,000 then he is.
  19. My reaction after living in Calgary for the past 33 years... I don't see where a new stadium in Calgary would even be considered. All of the track & field plus opening & closing ceremonies would be in Edmonton at CWS, I'd think. All they have to do is tear out the field, put in grass as well as a running track. Plus they mention a Field house for Calgary but as usual, no stadium. This city doesn't deserve a CFL team.
  20. Yes, utterly.... &.... absolutely.... heartbreaking!
  21. We saw the Chad kelly Show last night & Jim Kelly's nephew played well especially in the first half. He may be the real deal. Once again, it brings up the question, why do some CFL qbs get it & others don't?? AFAIK, Cornelius has no qb coach in Edmonton. He's being coached up at the qb position by a former OL who is the OC. The most important position on the team & Jones didn't think it was important enough to bring in a qb coach. That could be part of the problem why Cornelius struggles.
  22. Jones is a guy who thinks he knows more than anyone else. He is so stubbornly stupid. This is also the problem when you load up one person to make all the scouting, personnel & coaching decisions. Jones had built his own little empire within the team. With the damned coach & admin cap firing him & replacing him with multiple people will be more expensive. So, the Elks seem stuck with this guy for the foreseeable future. He knows it & doesn't care what anyone thinks. Not everyone figures it out. I'd say that my generation is much more in tune than my father's. He smoked his face off before quitting & drank a lot until his 70's. Most of my friends parents were like that when I was growing up.
  23. Yeah, as we get older we mature & think back... At least for me, I think how could I have been so stupid? That's what life is all about, though. The older we get the more wiser we supposedly become. That's why when I read some of the critical comments some made about Lawler a couple of years ago, they were all correct. No denying that. But I never criticized him as I was just as guilty as Kenny.
  24. Bailey may be a casualty next year as well as he's making a bit over a hundred thousand, getting into his 30's & on a 1 year deal. I see some guys defensively as you say who may be gone like Jeffcoat & Rose. Why pay Jeffcoat when he can't play? I love the guy but there are other assets we need so salaries from some older players will have to be cut. I don't think we'll bring the entire band back together again like we did this year but if 70% come back next season (& that might be high) I'll be more than happy with that. It may also open the door signing some quality free agents here as well.
