  1. I remember after a Bomber game on a Saturday night in either 1984 or 85, I had season tickets for the Bombers & took a friend. We went to the Bomber game & then afterwards to the Marble Club. The Bombers were the winners that night & they were partying with the team they played a few hours earlier.
  2. THAT I agree with. Cam Newton is on the fast track to becoming an NFL backup.
  3. Never can have enough Hoggies.
  4. He was a piece of work. That was a helluva moment breaking the Bambino's HR record. I happened to see it on tv. Not a lot of sports were shown on sportscasts back then. Freak
  5. If all the single players are going to do is play video games then what does it matter where they live?
  6. "Disability" great description. I have a feeling McConnell will find his 17.
  7. Or the throw to Darvin Adams back of the end zone vs Calgary. That would have been a sack. That was the official start of our GC run. When we all started to believe. The players too. Might have been the season's most important play establishing Zach Collaros.
  8. Back in my 20's & 30's the nightlife in Wpg was pretty damned good. A lot of upscale bars downtown & down to Earth pubs in the suburbs. Usually the women situation was pretty good wherever I went. The Bombers, Jets & out of town football & hockey teams "owned" the Marble Club & partied there so lots of ladies. Can I even say that now without offending?
  9. OLB & DE can't pinch in or he'll kill them with that reverse bucket step to the right. He made a lot of plays doing that & defenses should have taken that away after half a season. Getting **** canned a few times doing that would stop him from doing that so much.
  10. Guys will always sign here. It's the guys we lose that we don't replace that is the real issue. So, they move Stasny to wing? Put Dubois on the second line. Just saying Wheeler has a huge say with what goes on with this team, it seems. Maybe too much influence on a certain coach. I'm pissed off but I'll be okay in a day or so....
  11. Calgary with the mountains & somewhat warmer winter doesn't seem to have problems with players coming here. The tax situation is more of a problem for Canadian teams.
  12. Scheifle is worth the money but Wheeler sure isn't. It's now a bad contact on the books. Oh & let's keep him on the first line... Think they'll move Dubois to ist line Centre & demote Wheeler? What if he says no?
  13. I went into Superstore Thursday on the way home after work on 130th Ave SE here in Calgary. First time since last March. The place was packed. No one was monitoring how many people were in the store. It was like there was no pandemic. No one was disinfecting the carts. I saw just one hand sanitizing station. I got in & out as fast as I could. Not going back until this pandemic is over. These Big Box retailers can get away with it with no fines but someone who owns a small restaurant who has adhered to the health regulations for sanitizing & social distancing & is struggling to stay afloat can't reopen??? I wonder how much these huge stores have paid off govt officials to carry on as usual?
  14. Nope. Threatening texts. She said she hasn't slept well in a year because of the texts she receives. She also said that she has no job to go to. She said she has to "discuss" with her husband whether he'll let her reenter politics again. Well, duh??? She'll be running for the UCP in 2 years. No idea why her pro Trump, anti mask, get rid of every health restriction, right wing Libertarian political views makes her think people wouldn't react negatively. Well Diane, you play stupid games then you win stupid prizes. Interestingly, Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell says he'd never let anyone run him off because they didn't like what he had to say. He's a conservative columnist who supports the UCP but since the travelling Xmas MLA scandal has turned against Kenney so he is getting it both ways now.
  15. With Chevy's track record, I have little faith in him re-signing here.
  16. Meh... It's been a crappy offense under Greg Roman. No surprise.
  17. Danielle Smith on 770 CHQR yesterday here in Calgary was telling everyone that hydroxychloraqine (sp?) has been approved by the FDA in the US & we should all talk to our doctors about that for long term treatment of Covid 19. I swear, it's alt right idiots masquerading as Libertarians like this who swear they are only trying to "educate" their listeners on the radio. She is dangerous & should be taken off the air for spouting misinformation like this. Thankfully, this woman who sews the seeds of dissension on her radio talk show by being an anti vaxxer, an anti masker & who believes the economy should be wide open with no restrictions is leaving her pulpit on February 19th because of threatening emails & texts. She calls them "The Mob" & while she blames them for disrupting her life seems to want to rile them up even more by calling them out on her show everyday Why would someone who is in fear continue to fire the people up who hate her? She should have been off the airwaves a year ago when this pandemic started. She knows her alt right dumb conservative base here & just plays to it everyday. In the meantime, she is Gospel to her minions in Alberta who listen to her every word.
  18. Adams will get better with experience the more big games he plays. He has more of an upside than Cody Fajardo.
  19. My question is just how do we build a championship team when we can't even build by the draft anymore as our RFA's end up leaving? And we don't EVER sign impact free agents because Lord knows we sure as Hell don't want to overpay. Yet, for not overpaying we're always in salary cap hell or close to it. Funny how that works. And every star RFA who leaves is either a 'troublemaker", "a cancer in the dressing room", "didn't want to be here" or "unaffordable". In eleven seasons we've been to the Western Conference Finals once. Most years we miss the playoffs. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing that doesn't work by the same people that keep doing it every year. How many more seasons of Chevy & Maurice are we going to have to endure until Chipman decides it's time to rescind both of their Jobs For Life titles & make changes?
  20. Bryant is outstanding but I don't even know how you can even measure that statement. It would be extremely difficult to name the absolute best absolutely. He's right up there, though.
  21. Rest assured, that's the biggest issue today. There will be bigger fires to put out if we play as in injuries, ratio, etc. Won't argue that. His longevity has always been the problem. When he goes out he misses massive gaps in the season.
  22. Jail time for this @$$hat. Maybe he can reflect on just how tough he is behind bars.
  23. Canadian qb with the first pick.
  24. Most of them are celebrities but could still be described as "no ones" as far as constitutional & political experience goes. Every Gov General is sadly just political patronage appointments which is a sad fact when it comes to such an important job. The Queen should appoint her own GG from legitimate candidates that cross the political spectrum & not just the political friends of a sitting PM. Ideally it should be a qualified experienced Canadian career diplomat or politician who knows how the federal government works. Not a fricking former CBC broadcaster or astronaut.
