Elks claim they averaged 20,000 fans a game last year. Who are they kidding??

Well, there it is a rebrand. Now the team can say it actually did make changes.

You can manipulate stats to suit any situation or idea. Bottom line is he missed & that's the bottom line. He wasn't good enough. We all knew he was the weak link on this team & he proved us right.

No, because our kicker had the yips & shanked a FG line drive which was blocked.

I was bussing tables on a very busy Saturday night. I did one table too many & my tub was overflowing & really heavy. My hands were a little greasy from all the work. I started for the kitchen but I knew I'd never make it. I dropped that heavy bus tub right in the middle of the dining area. The restaurant was loud with people eating & carrying on. The whole place went quiet & then people started talking again. I cleaned up the mess absolutely mortified. Then I got hauled into the manager's office where he tore a strip off me for breaking dishes. What a bad night that was. Never did that again.

Until we lose a game by one point because we went for two when we didn't have to. Always take the points. Don't leave any on the field if you don't have to. At least that's my philosophy, Booch. I know there are some coaches who would disagree.

Ah, screw them. They took it off Paramount & put it on Paramount + so I never saw the final season. Same with Tulsa King. Don't care.

No, I'm serious. You can't put more into it depending on yardage as a kicker. You'll end up punching the ball. Shanking it. Or kicking a line drive. It has to be the same everytime. Now, things like angle, wind & field conditions play into that. But the actual kick is always the same. So, I'm talking about consistency.

Nope. You kick it the same everytime. Whether it's 15 or 50 yards.

I was part the original crew that worked at Bonanza. We opened in November 1973. I was in Grade 12. Winnipeggers loved the place. Man, were we busy!!!

Lieghhio's not but his responsibility is to get the ball over the LOS. He kicked a line drive shank.

Grew up in a strongly conservative household in Winnipeg. My dad was a small business owner. He owned an auto body shop in St. Boniface right next door to the Norwood Hotel on Marion Street. My dad didn't like the NDP. Thought they were bad for business & just wanted to tax & spend taxpayer's money. He admired Duff Roblin & John Diefenbaker. So, when Ed Schreyer's NDP beat the Conservatives in Manitoba I was 14 & the next few years our house was full of conversation about how bad the NDP was. Like I said, Voting NDP for me is a huge geological shift. If you lived here you'd cringe having to vote for Danielle Smith. You can't trust her as she flip flops on things she said on talk radio. We have hit the bottom of the barrell here in Alberta. Oh yeah. For sure.

Yeah, that would be a good analogy. Lol. Truthfully, Lunsford was a mean spirited SOB who didn't like to be crossed. He ran a lot of great players out of town. In particular, supertars like Dave Raimey, Mack Heron, Jim Thorpe, Bernie Ruoff & Don Jonas.

It's not her in particular. She's NDP. I'm leaning more & more to voting NDP because I don't like Danielle Smith either. I don't like her health spending account idea. I don't believe that she'll suddenly stop with her idea of making people pay to see their doctor. I don't trust her. I also don't think she cares about anyone but herself. I could go on about her talking to that POS Pawloski & having her photo taken with trucker convoy people. Voting NDP even though I don't like them is a huge change for me politically. I have always voted conservative every federal & provincial election since I turned 18. I'm certainly torn ideologically.

Now, with Castillo here I can relax a bit. When Lieghhio kicks, I don't have to cross my fingers, close my eyes & say out loud anymore, "C'mon! C'mon!" And when he'd miss a convert or easy FG, I'd be yelling, "#@%^&*!!! I knew it! I knew it!!" My stress level should be a lot less much like when Jason Medlock was our kicker. He just had this aura of confidence around him that his teammates & fans could sense. With Lieghhio, he always seemed to be in panic mode half the time.

I don't love Rachel Notley. I don't love Danielle Smith. She's a nutbar.

One of my favourite Lightfoot song... So many.

You didn't live thru the Earl Lunsford years. Other than a few good years under Jim Spavital, Bud Riley & ray Jauch, it was mostly dismal. Any player he didn't like or he felt crossed him he got rid of because his huge ego would be offended. Basically 15 years of mediocrity. He was hired as Stamps GM in the mid 80's & his teams there were even worse.

Danielle Smith. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

What about the Bombers tells you it's a growth & development team? This is a win now organization. There's a lot of veterans in the sunset of their careers. Obviously, there is a lot of disatisfaction with Liegghio. There's no time waiting for him to develop. He's had 2 seasons to figure it out & he still has issues with pressure. The Bombers are ready to move on, it seems. If Walters & O'Shea are ready to move on from Legs then I'm okay with that. I've said the exact same thing here about Maver about 6 or 7 times this past year just to fall on deaf ears.

Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh...

Please start your own thread on this.

Thanks for letting me know.

Past the constipation part thankfully. I switched from hydromorphone when I got home. After 4 days to T4's for a week & then to Tramadol/cet which is a very good pain reliever & doesn't plug up the plumbing. Using less & less pain meds. I just want this damned infection to go away.

I had a friend of mine yesterday ask me why the Stamps drafted three receivers when they have needs elsewhere. I think what happned with this draft is that so many quality Canadian players got drafted or were signed by NFL teams as free agents that most teams lists were chucked out the window. I think teams just drafted the best player available in their mind when their turn came. Other than that, I have zero knowledge of the players taken so I won't comment further. I defer to you as the expert here regarding the draft.
