No kidding. My second date with my future wife was in July of 1985 at Polo Park which will be thirty freaking nine years ago this summer. We went out last night as our 37th wedding anniversary is coming up in two weeks or so & we'll be out of town when it is. We went to a restaurant called The Cattle Baron in SE Calgary. It's pricey but I highly recommend it if you're ever in Calgary for a visit.

I disagree. This is where he wants to be. I think Strev wants to play in the 2025 Grey Cup in Winnipeg so he'll stay.

Once the Bombers knew they could sign Streveler, The Bombers would never have even tried to re-sign Brown. They traded him two weeks before the FA deadline. To me, That means they knew they had both little chance of signing Brown & not really caring as they had other plans. Streveler was the biggest free agent pick up of the off season for the Bombers. Bigger than had they somehow re-signed Brown. Not counting Oliveira & Schoen. Anyway, that's my take on it. I'm sounding a bit too negative on Brown. I'd like to see him succeed. I knew he was gone anyway after last season & I was hoping beyond hope he signed with any other team other than Ottawa. I don't think much of Bob Dyce or Sean Burke fan as he isn't a very good head coach & that organization Burke runs is one big tire fire.

Thanks... Goalie & bb1. -
The Lions were marching & were going to score.

He wants to own part of the team he plays for. Yeah, right. Dream on.

Game 63: a VAN Down By The River
SpeedFlex27 replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I go to Seattle quite a bit so I'd love to see a game down there. I have a Jets jersey I'd wear. Oh, BTW, my son & his wife are expecting a baby in May. -
I still remember Mike Gray deflecting Matt's pass straight up in the air & then catching it on the goal line. Wow!!!!!

Well, you can talk about a certain poster bemoaning the roster all you like but the reality is Osh wouldn't have released or traded Zach away & keptvBrown. So, wishing for something like that is like trying to find pixie dust as it would have never happened. The Bombers had no intention of bringing Dru back. Walters & Osh set their sites on signing Streveler. Even though Brown went to FA, got a raise & a chance to start in Ottawa, the Bombers actually dropped him.

Have to cut it down. Minimize the hits.

Former Coach Dave Ritchie Passes away
SpeedFlex27 replied to iHeart's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Dave Ritchie was a real character. One the players & fans could really relate to. Rest in Peace, Dave. You'll be missed. -
The CBC really cut their sports department. They had some top notch talent that were let go. I'm sure from a lack of funding from the Mulroney & Harper governments. I think even Chretien cut funding as well. Dunigan was a warrior in 1991 vs the Stamps when he played with a separated shoulder that was frozen.

Great comeback for a title. http://www.reactiongifs.com/seal-approval/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=seal-approval -
Good for Don Wittman for calling out Winnipeg Enterprises in this debacle with the field & the failure to properly remove the snow. WEC was a total waste of taxpayers money & being on the Committee was a real perk for City Councillors. Free tickets for any of those politicians with seats in a private box for any event that went on at the Stadium or Arena.

Vegas for me & Goalie Marc Andre Fleury. That smirky little bastard. Got hot at the right time in the 2018 Western Conference Final against us. I don't think he's played at that level since & has bounced around like a basketball.

2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
You know the CFL haters will be all over this. One, the residency rules the league has & two the fact that he went to an NFL TC & actually played. -
Hey Noeller, for a guy who's supposedly blocked me, I see that I'm still in your head. Constantly. 24/7/365. You know it Noeller. I am your worst nightmare. Somebody please be a **** disturber & copy this so he can read it..
-
When I say rookie, I'm saying it in the sense that Brown's still green & inexperienced. Brown's now expected to walk in at TC & be The Guy. he'll suddenly have the entire weight of the team on his shoulders. which he didn't have in Winnipeg. he'll be expected to perform from Day 1 despite learning a brand new offense. Trouble is, he won't be in as good of an offensive system as he was in Winnipeg. His line blocking won't be as good. The run game won't be as strong although they have a back who finished with barely a thousand yards. Receiving corps isn't as good as ours despite having Rhymes from BC. He'll need to put his Big Boy pants on. We saw what happened to others in his place. Ottawa is where quarterbacks go to die. With Schoen & Lawler, Zach developed a tendency to Go Big on a lot of passing plays. As you say, if he gets back to getting rid of the ball quickly but still stretching the defense downfield with a few deep shots then he should be fine.

2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
And you wonder why football fans who favour the NFL laugh at the CFL?? This is a joke. Doesn't matter. There he is pictured in a Seahawks uniform on the field playing a game. Perception is everything. -
As a fan I can be pissed off about anything. You reacted negatively to my comments so that means you didn't like them. It's just the same old typical **** from fans who have become spoiled & are never satisfied. One guy plays well in a few games as a rookie. Then he becomes the Next One that fans love. Just get rid of the old vet standing in his way because he's starting to suck. Meanwhile the old vet threw for something like 4300 yards on a team that went 14-4 in 2023 & 40-10 since the CFL resumed play in 2021. It's ridiculous. I can understand that with his injury history but we'll see how he fares this season with the changes on the line. Hopefully, he does fine.
-
It's not personal. You say he's slower processing. Okay well, I just want you to prove your point. And just saying, "Well, I noticed he seems slower".... Slower, what? It pisses me off as a fan with so many experts ready to write the guy off for a qb who didn't even have 5 CFL starts to his name. Let Dru make his money & get beat up in Ottawa. We'll see how he does. Well, if you played as a running back in the CFL then tell us why Zach is processing slower & I'll take it all back & say sorry.

SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
How can a guy who's already attended an NFL camp & played for the Seahawks be considered a Canadian college draft prospect? Shouldn't he be Neg Listed? -
Dru Brown is playing behind a bad OL. Yeah, they've signed some veterans but we'll see. Ottawa has always signed free agents but have never amounted to much. I expect Brown is this year's version of Nick Arbuckle.
