I'd be all for going back to a 16 week schedule. Then we're looking at the second week of November for Grey Cup. Eighteen games is too much.

So, I want to say something without degenerating this thread into insults, accusations & name calling. Saying Rick Shaw was white & David Shaw was black & therefore aren't related is somehow considered racist but not fact? Saying the name of Rick Shaw who is Caucasian is also a similar but different word to a rickshaw which is a 1 man cart used to transport people in China but not Japan (to correct an error of reference) is somehow racist but not fact? Other than myself mentioning skin colour between the two Shaws to clarify they are not related thru marriage or birth in the event Jack Wells was being serious , there is no "disgusting racism" here. For clarification, there is none of this on display in this thread... https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/racism I have yet to see anyone on this board who believes in or espouses the views of racism.

I'm trying to remember how old I was when I realized Santa wasn't real but the mists of time have made it hard to remember. Maybe 8 or 9? Still, though...

We have more bye weeks than the NFL.

That's morbid for Christmas Day. You post some weird stuff sometimes.

Merry Xmas JCon!

Big Chris wasn't even a glint in his mother's eye yet.

Stock market is tanking. Tarriffs are killing the hot economy. Problems with China, Russia & that damned wall that the Mexicans won't pay for. The R word is now being used more & more. If a recession does happen then Trump can kiss his Presidency goodbye. The Mueller enquiry is closing in.... I think Trump is just about done.

They've established that the lady never bought the SUV & yet she says she's hopeful she won't have to pay off the fraudulent loan. ******* banks, I've always hated them & that will never change.

You mean Chinese. Rick Shaw. As in... RickShaw... or... rickshaw. They weren't related. Rick was white. David was black.

As a Bomber fan, it sure sucked to see Don Jonas in a Ti Cat uniform. Don was so dejected by that trade that he retired right after the 74 season. He just didn't want to play anymore. He wanted to retire a Blue Bomber & he finally got his wish in 2017. Then Blue Bomber GM Earl Lunsford could be a prick if he had issues with any of his players. The way he did with Jonas at the end in Winnipeg.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all here. May your days be merry & bright. And may all your Christmases be white.

You got to see him play before the rest of us. He played in the 1957 Rose Bowl & the Grey Cup that year.

Winnipeg Blue Bomber Defensive back Bud Grant (#78) & an unidentified teammate attempt to knock down a pass intended for Hamilton Tiger Cats Offensive End Jack Logan (#73) during the 1953 Grey Cup played on November 28th at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. The Ti Cats defeated the Bombers 12-6 that day. Meanwhile, the pressing question on their minds were, "Is there too much passing & if so, is it still football?" Survey says, No & Yes.

October 14, 1974. The Blue Bombers faced the Hamilton Tiger Cats & quarterback Don Jonas(#7) for the first & only time at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton after Jonas was traded for former Hamilton qb Chuck Ealey on September 2nd. The Bombers dug deep & came away with a hard fought 19-14 victory that day. The Bombers had played two days earlier in Ottawa & were defeated 27-10 by the Rough Riders. The Bombers had played 3 games in 8 days starting October 6th & went 2-1 over that time. Just a punishing schedule that was common in those days with the dreaded "Eastern Swing". What made it worse was the limited rosters back then of only 34 players.
