  1. He tore his achilles twice since then.
  2. Meanwhile in Calgary, the Cavalry get more coverage than the Stamps.
  3. He will be missed. Maybe he's dead.
  4. Oh, he will be. I'm just saying in 20 years if his foundation is still around , it will have helped a lot of cancer patients. My brother in Winnipeg has pancreatic cancer so I'm curious as to what the foundation does & will be checking it out online.
  5. I think he may be remembered more for his Never Alone Foundation that helped cancer patients, families & caregivers than his time as a Bomber player or President. Rest in Peace, Lyle Bauer. He'll be missed.
  6. What about the Ontario high school kids? Like Jeezus.
  7. On the Rod Pederson Show last week, Jim Barker went after Nathan Rourke for his comments about the Commissioner & the way the CFL has handled the Kelly fiasco. He was genuinely angry that Rourke said what he did. He said Rourke signing with New England was a mistake & he's likely fourth on the depth chart now after the draft & free agent qb signings. He called Rourke's situation "Karma" for his criticism of Randy Ambrosie. I like Jim Barker a lot but was disappointed he was being so petty. I agree with Rourke & a lot of fans do as well. It would have been better to have refused to give na opinion or just say he disagreed & that's it. Unfortunately, it made Barker look bad. I think those with the Argos & the CFL probably think the same.
  8. The TSN coverage of the CFL Draft is embarrassing. Just the first two rounds then the rest on the TSN website. Sorry, I have better things to do. They treat their Number 1 Sports holding (CFL) like it's as important as watching poker.
  9. But. They're. Not. Making. Any. Money. My son in Seattle doesn't have cable. He has Hulu CBS Sports, Netfklix, Paramount Plus, Disney Plus... but he has to plug his laptop into his tv to watch a CFL game from TSN after CBS Sports stopped televising games on their sports streaming service after the NFL started.
  10. I guess I want to see the CFL at least try. Until the CFL is on a major streaming service & available to subscribers we'll never know how they'd do as it's a different brand of football. At least try. Come up with some ideas for growth strategies of some kind to grow the game instead of trying to put a team in the Maritimes where there's no interest. The league just stagnates every year, the same old, same old.
  11. Yeah, gonna make our annual football trek into Winnipeg in September from Friday to Monday that weekend. Looks like the Banjo Bowl is close to being sold out based on what the Bomber Ticket Office was telling me on Friday.
  12. It's been cancelled.
  13. No, none of those. Just the CFL's way of thinking. Of just being the same league & doing the same thing. I'm no marketing expert, but there has to be a way to grow the league economically.
  14. Leadership is an issue with this team. On the ice & in the dressing room. We don't have it. The other team that's a mess are the Leafs. Arguing on the bench. Lol.
  15. Why is he an excuse? The guy is a good assistant coach. I think he deserves a chance, I think Bowness is done. His wife isn't well. Clearly, he's run out of steam as a coach. I'm thre same age as he is. Who needs that **** at our age?
  16. Bowness is 69. He'll go & Arniel's the new Head Coach.
  17. There've been some pretty good free agents available the past 2 years but Walters won't pay. Thinks there are priorities elsewhere. I never understood that line of thinking. I'd give up one all star receiver for one all star nose tackle.
  18. I could watch this game but have chosen not to. Glad I'm not judging by the angry posts here. We lost this series all the way back when fans in Winnipeg were chanting, "Pull the goalie" in game 1. Just arrogance thinking we had the series in the bag & the first game wasn't even finished yet. I think it fired up the Avs.
  19. I think in 10 to 15 years the CFL will be no more. There appears to be no growth possibilities. Especially with the Commissioner we have now. When it's 2024 & he biggest growth was the merger of the WIFU & IRFU to form the 9 team CFL in 1958 then things don't look great. Every other pro league have grown exponentially since. We may be the last generation of fans who care.
  20. Then why would the Kraken put their games on Amazon? same with the NHL for Monday Night Hockey?
