  1. Everybody thinks they're experts on the Draft. These are all unknowns. Selecting them is a dice throw in a crap shoot. We know the Bombers & other teams have done their due dilligence but John Hodge?
  2. I have an infection in & around a couple of staples in my knee. It's been oozing liquid now for a week. Up until yesterday, my wife who is an RN was monitoring & cleaning it twice daily. The liquid coming out was a colour not indicating an infection until yesterday morning when I woke up with a stinging sensation on my knee. Went to the hospital. Turns out it is infected & I'm now being given IV antibiotics at a place called the HPTP clinic at the Rockyview Hospital. (Don't aske me what it means). I have to go in later this morning for another round of IV antibiotics. I have an IV line sticking out of my left arm. I am getting my staples out on Thursday. The surgeon wants to see me at the Rockyview where I had my surgery on last April 19th. Generally, the nurse-practioner at the knee clinic takes out the staples but the physician who examined my knee yesterday wants my surgeon to check it out & take out the staples. One good thing is I can ask for freezing as taking out the staples in the infected area will be very painful. My wife looked at my knee before she left for work this morning & she said my knee looks a bit better than yesterday. I was in excruciating pain this past weekend. Not fun. Pain level is waaaaaay down. I just hope the surgeon doesn't have to debride the area which will be painful. So , good & bad news.
  3. That is awful. Tracker. I hope the second go round is better. I'm having some issues which I'll get into. Not a happy situation for me but it could be worse,
  4. I'll remember that, thanks.
  5. Watch Chevy fire him. Chipman will award Cheveldayoff with a new 3 year contract extension. #jobforlife.
  6. Notice how Dave Naylor & Farhan Lalji said part of the tv package is to promote the league down south. So then, what's TSN's excuse??
  7. My goal is to be at the Banjo Bowl & being able to climb the stairs to my seat. I didn't renew my 3 game mini pack as going to the games would be impossible but I plan to next season.
  8. As you may or may have not noticed, I've been away. I had my left knee replaced on April 19th. It's been 9 days & it's been rough. Pain was extreme until this past Tuesday or Weds. Using T4's & T3's to control the pain although the past 3 days have been better. My use of meds has fallen off the past 3 days. Using a walker to get around the house. Getting in & out of chairs is certainly a challenge as it's difficult to get up & down. I haven't gone out but if I do this weekend, I'll use crutches. All I can say is my Donjoy Ice Machine is a lifesaver. It just takes the pain away in bed. Allows me to get as decent a night's sleep as I can. I spoke with the surgeon afterwards in recovery. He said that I had the worst knee he has ever saw in all his years of doing surgery. as he put it. "It was bad!! B-A-D!!!" My thanks to the Rockyview Orthopedic Floor, Unit 81 for the great care, compassion & attention. I'm not back yet. Just wanted to drop a line to let you guys know & also wish Tracker well in his upcoming knee surgery in May.
  9. You can love him all you want for all I care. And quite frankly, your opinions about the man don't mean anything to me. He has to do a lot more to win back the confidence of the majority of fans. This is the first good thing he did since 2017 when he sold a lot of tee shirts. This is the last time I repond to you on this subject do don't bother as I'll just ignore your comments.
  10. The damage is done, His career is probably still over.
  11. I almost feel envious of the Flames & they didn't even make the playoffs. Their GM only lasted 9 years. Meanwbile, here in Winnipeg...
  12. Knowing MLSE, they'll sell the Argos then not let them use BMO Field.
  13. A legit quesstion from a poster who lives in Alberta.... Why is Wab Kinew still NDP leader? I know very little about the man.
  14. More like Dickenson acts & said things to take the pressure off his team. Very similar to what Chris Jones & Don Matthews did when their teams were uder duress.
  15. The Bomber reps are awesome. Always helpful & friendly. You do get the impression the Bombers appreciate everyone who buys tickets to the games.
  16. Oh, of course not. How foolish of me to even think that there are people who always complain no matter what level of service they receive.
  17. That's what I think. Sounds like a lot of huffing & puffing from the Alumni but SFU won't change its mind. No one has resigned or been fired from SFU. Unfortunately, the God damned awful way the football program is run & the total lack of support from administration, they'll be doomed for last place in Canada West for years. Forcing the university through the courts to keep a program they don't want isn't going to make it better. It'll just get worse.
  18. I used to like Craig Dickenson. I met him a couple of times at coaching clinics here in Calgary when my son was playing high school football nearly 20 years ago. He was a cool, calm & collected coach with a great sense of humour & always had a smile on his face. Full of positivity for his players. He was a receivers coach at the time. Then fast forward 2 decades to where he is now & he totally changed. He took on almost a villainous persona as HC of the Riders last year. Especially with the Garrett Marino situation & his unwillingness to do anything after it happened as well as some of the other issues with the team as the season went on. The way the Riders acted on the field or the sidelines. He became more darker, sullen & looks like he decided to take on that persona to take the pressure off of his players. Not a good look. I think fans & media have lost a lot of respect for him. Which is too bad as I was pretty disappointed with his actions last season.
  19. No Liberal is ever going to be elected to the AB Provincial Legislature so Klein switching to the PC's was a good move for him. Stefanson has certainly been an uninspired leader who isn't Premier material. Hard to believe that she was the best of the bunch.
  20. I've worked in customer service jobs in the past & was a claims adjuster also for many years. No matter what you do for some people it's never enough. They'll always ***** & complain. If someone waits a month before they're called back, why wouldn't they call the Jets office earlier to see what's going on? Or at least talk to someone else?? if they feel it should be no big deal for someone to call them back then why can't they do it themselves if there's a long delay in getting back to them? I'm not defending the Jets here because the ticket agent certainly dropped the ball. But I'd never wait a month for some rep to call me back. I'd call myself. There's two sides to every story & the truth is somewhere in the middle.
  21. Our offensive line is terrible according to Danny Austin or Riderfans. Austin is supposedly now covering the Flames for Postmedia but he drops by social media like Twitter to disparage the Bombers every so often. Whenever I've challenged that little twit & I have a number of times he never answers. So, I think he's a coward. Amyone who won't stand behind or defend what they post to me is cowardly, Austin's become a Stamps homer & a troll. Thinks he's the smartest guy in the room when he isn't.
  22. Cam Meredith retired. Cam Meredith @Cam_I_Am81 · Follow To the game, I will be forever Gr8fu1! It’s time now I move on from the NFL to the next chapter in my life.
