  1. I know. Osh has to stop with it.
  2. Meant that the winters in Edmonton & Winnipeg are virtually similar.
  3. They have sellout crowds now. No need to keep grinding for fans. Stay right here cuz these are the Good Old Days. Enjoy them while we still can.
  4. Signing a squadron of former Bombers won't change anything either. I just wish Jake Thomas left with them. He could be Radar O'Reilly.
  5. Jake has a great gig here. Go out on the field, start, do nothing, suck, get paid for it, take away playing time from other players & then next game, repeat.
  6. Winnipeg gets a bad rap as the weather in edmonton, especially the summers are ****. Winnipeg sunmmers are warmer & sunnier. Weather in the winter is the same.
  7. Fatty Liver... Your comments about farmers in AB loving soccer made me chuckle hence my smart ass answer. Alberta has nearly 5 million people. It's expected that Alberta will go over that number this year.
  8. If you love winters in Winnipeg then you'll love Edmonton.
  9. Nah, he has a lifetime contract.
  10. CWS isn't a dump. IT's old but then so are a lot of stadiums. The Mexico City stadium was built in 1960. They'd obviously have to do renos at CWS like they're doing on other stadiums. As in, BMO. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of renos going into the NFL stadiums in the US.
  11. As usual, pushed so far back that there's no qb within 25 yards of him.
  12. Don't get me wrong, Bluto. As a city, I like Toronto but as a city to host the WC, there were better.
  13. The writing was just so bad. I tried to watch some of the newer Star Wars & just can't get through it. The characters, the plot, the dialogue in comparison to thr first 3 movies in the series from 1977-81 compared to today. The killing of Hans Solo, Luke & Leia floating thru space. With all the different writers, producers, directors, actors, new characters, etc, the entire movie series was lost.
  14. That's why there was a couple of WC qualifying matches against Mexico in Edmonton played in the December 2023 cold & snow & had 52000 fans in the stands. Those damned curious farmers who love soccer, there are nearly two million of them in Edmonton. And another two million farmers in Calgary. Oh & another 105,000 in Red Deer. And another 100,000 northern farmers in Fort MacMurray.
  15. My point is Toronto doesn't deserve to have a WC game. Edmonton would have been a better choice. It was completely a political choice.
  16. Putting SWAT in Friday's former Blue Bloods time slot was the kiss of death for that show. A lot of anger out there for Blue Bloods cancellation & fans took it out on the sacrificial lamb that replaced it. No, baseball reference.
  17. Star Wars has become a British sci fi franchise. Their ideas & styles of sci fi is different what is done here in the US & Canada when it comes to acting & writing. To me, they've strayed away from the vision George Lucas had for Star Wars. Twenty five yars ago, I could have debated this issue with other Star Wars fans here but today I barely know the names of the main characters anymore. I just know that I've watched every Star Wars movie & just can't get excited about it anymore. If a new motion picture comes out I'll probably not watch it.
  18. All things come to an end. He was a great player for us.
  19. Wouldn't surprise me if Randy sticks around for another year. I always felt Campbell isn't as good as his reputation claimed. Certainly nowhere close to his father. What he did in BC last year cutting VAJ at the knees was mind blowing. If the league really wanted to get sticky about this, they could force the Lions to give them both back. That would deter teams from offsetting like you described.
  20. Don't criticize The Trinity. It'll upset Noeller.
  21. I'm old so I should. Everything from old movies to music genres to sports "You're going to be our Brian Doyle". Got that right away.
  22. A lot of the actors in Billions were part of the Suits TV & BE series.
  23. No, never said that. I just looked at the stadiums in Mexico & the US. You have to wonder why we're even involved. Edmonton has a much better venue than TO & CWS hosted World Cup qualifiers before yet politics played a hand in giving Toronto a series of World Cup games. Just because...
  24. We don't need to make a big move. No one is trading a superstar anywhere. But that doesn't mean we don't need to make a move.
