NOPE!

Who wants to talk about the Riders?

No kidding.

The Freep gassed Campbell's Jets column last spring. I liked him as a defensemen.

The right thing would be not top go as they look like they're supporting a murderous regime.

My brother & I went to a WHA Jets game in the mid 70's. In the era when they were really, really good & won 3 WHA Championships. We usually went to maybe 6 games a year back then. Anyway, one game there was this guy sitting directly behind us at the old Arena & for the entire game he kept saying, "Skate, skate, skate, skate. Check, check, check, check, check. Skate, skate, skate, skate, skate. Check, check, check, check". All... Game... Long... By the third period, I was ready to turn around & scream STFU!!! My brother said don't do it. So, I shut up. I was in Winnipeg last March. We went to the Jets-Preds game & for fun I started that same chant. We both started chuckling over that.

Yeah, unfortunately that is true.

I sold photocopiers in the 80's before we moved to Calgary.. I had a sales manager who was brilliant at his job. He could convince just about everyone they needed a new copier. If I had a tough close I'd ask for him to come in & 9 times out of 10 he'd close the deal. But he spent as much as he made. He drove a new Mercedes. He had a brand new house. His suits were like $500 (1984). Shoes always shined. He dressed for success & he was a success. His attitude was buy everything on credit. I asked him what would he do if he lost his job? He smiled & said, "Just sell." I looked him up on facebook & from what I could see he went into business for himself & I think he's a millionaire.

So, TUP... is there a chance the WWE doesn't hold Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia as they've stopped mentioning where it will be held?

I think it's great how you manage your money so I'm not criticizing. I have a friend who just turned 60. He has an office cleaning business & was doing quite well here in Calgary with a number of permanent clients. Everything was going great for him & his wife. He was making good money, hired a number of employees to service his accounts until the downturn in 2013. As the downturn in the oil patch worsened & companies closed their doors or cancelled their contracts he began having financial problems. He had to lay off his entire staff. But he also had to pay his bills relating to his business. Now he only has a couple of clients that he & his wife service. He told me a couple of years ago that he would retire in debt & that he probably will be in debt from his business for the rest of his life. He said he was okay with that but it scared me into paying off my personal debts as I didn't want to be retired on a fixed income & still paying off my debt. It motivated me to do it now & not later.

I've never liked banks.

Too bad. If Leggett is finished as a player he deserved to go out a lot better than that.

Like I said, I'm clearing off all my debts because now I can. I no longer need a LOC, my house is nearly paid off. My car is paid off, & I don't want to buy another one. Both my sons are married. Now, I just want to be able to retire debt free. Live off my pension, CPP/OAS & RRSP's when the time comes. Your criticism of people in debt while noble, doesn't speak to the reality of where most people are at money wise. People need credit because everything is expensive. Not too many people have the spare cash to buy even a decent used car let alone a new one. In some cities like Vancouver & Toronto the dream of home ownership is... just that... a dream. We are taxed to the hilt & more by greedy governments. people are just getting by. Now we have to deal with Trudeau's carbon tax. So, jazzsax maybe you make the kind of $$$ that allow you to do the things you want to do. Most don't. Also, I've found thru my life experience that things change in peoples lives. Sometimes very quickly health & finance wise. You're laying in the tall grass one year & putting out brush fires the next.

I won't be retiring until I'm 68. Paying off all my debts so I can retire debt free then. I cancelled my credit cards & paying them off. I have a LOC I want to close at zero. My car is paid off as of the end of May. It will be my last vehicle I ever buy from a dealer financed. Done with all of that. I know too many people who retire with debt & have problems. I also know some who retired in their 50's & started another career & work more now than the job they had when they retired. All that stress. Why??

Baby Boomer. We were always told we could be whoever we wanted to be. That with a little hard work & sacrifice we could live the lifestyle we wanted. The land of opportunity.

That's a brutal injury. I remember a time a couple of decades ago that it was a career ender. For Leggett just being able to come back from that today shows how far medically we've come.

I think coming back from a torn achilles & to be able to play at the same level as before was asking a lot.

Pretty scary time for Joe Anoa'i. Hope he whips cancer's ass. How many of you knew he was on the roster of the Eskimos circa 2010?

That makes absolutely no sense. Age has nothing to do with stupidity Proof in point is when your fanbase shows up here for the most part the IQ level is between 0-5 for the dumb asses between 20-45 years of age.

We know one thing, they'll get no coverage from the Freep or Sun.

I know that but it would be worse if it started happening a month earlier. Instead of being 12-4, the Stamps might be 7-9. Yet they can still finish first .

I do remember a decade ago when the owner of Canad Inns unveiled his vision for a new football stadium at Assiniboia Downs, Rider fans mocked it & called it a toilet bowl as well.

I think the hockey market in Winnipeg is saturated. Only so much $$$ to go around.

In the past, we've been visited by Rider trolls who came here to brag, boast or rub our noses in it. So, you have to understand that as well.

They'd be dead last in the West totally out of the race if the injuries to the receiving corps had happened a few weeks earlier. They might be 8-8 or 7-9 right now. That's why they're lucky in that respect. They're in the playoffs.
