  1. At least Orridge acknowledges Grey Cup tickets were too high. I wonder what ticket prices for the Cup in Ottawa will be next year?
  2. I think Calgary is already a dynasty. I don't know Grey Cup records but has any team won more Grey Cups from them the past 20 years or more? They've been on top for years & years.
  3. Can anyone explain the Randy Orton-Wyatt Family thing to me as I don't get it.
  4. I think the new head coach would probably say that the old coach made the decision to trade for Willy & he can't be responsible for the decisions of the previous regime while Jim Barker coughs uncomfortably in the background.
  5. What did Orridge say the penalty would be to the Eskimos & Maas if he didn't do what was intended with the 2nd mic game? I don't understand the mindset of the Eskimos organization which starts with Ed Hervey. If Hervey had told Maas to cooperate none of this would have happened from the very beginning. Every other team who participated did what was expected even though they didn't like it either. Why would they decide to fight a battle over this hill knowing they'd never win?
  6. That Toronto story just showed how much of a mess the Argos are in & at the very least Scott Milanovich won't be back. Drew Willy is going to need a lot of luck with a new head coach in town.
  7. The CFL is already struggling at the gate. We shouldn't be wishing all the stars to go away because we don't like them as it won't help the CFL to survive. There are players with big mouths & egos on every team. We would have no league without them.
  8. There are lots of leaders in the Stamps dressing room. Carter will know his place if he acts the way he did in Montreal. They won't pay him top dollar like other teams would as Hufnagel doesn't spend wildly on free agents. Besides, they have some young dynamic receivers now that I don't think the Stamps really need Duron Carter.
  9. Like why not just be honest & say you want Walters & O'Shea gone instead of hiding how you feel with some fantasy trade that will never happen? Then, on top of things you start telling us why it should happen. All you guys that want O'Shea gone should just give it up already. He's coming back.
  10. You mean Southern Ontario. Or Bombarier in Montreal. Where all the votes are. It doesn't help anyone else. Everything costs more. At the same time bring in policies to kill the oil industry out west with all the jobs that go with it as the Liberals don't need the west to gain power. Typically Canadian, instead of becoming competitive on the world stage the maufacturing sector relies on government subsidies or policies like a low dollar to keep them competitive when they can't do it on their own. Manufacturing is shrinking anyway as companies become more global like the auto industry. Jobs are leaving for Asia & Mexico.
  11. Maybe you should add that the lonnie's value to the American Dollar which has been under par mostly since the deal was signed.
  12. That made no sense. Having a hard time wrapping myself around that ending with Goldberg. A guy who was UFC Heavyweight champ just loses like that? So much for Paul Heyman's Beast Incarnate. It's like they're killing him off. Man, do the fans hate Roman Reigns. He's bringing Rollins down with him.
  13. He'll be 29 when his contract is up. Dave Dickenson was roughly the same age when he went down but there's a lot of great young guns coming out of the NCAA so it's tough for a "rookie" at that age to make it. For 2 seasons, Dickenson bounced around before deciding to come back as he could see the writing on the wall.
  14. Maas needs to learn humility. He has a huge chip on his shoulder.
  15. Remember Jet Packs? I think you could buy 10 & 15 games when the Jets 1.0 played out of the Winnipeg Arena. They weren't season tickets but it guaranteed your seat for those games. Don't know if it included the playoffs. Anyone remember? No need for that this time round.
  16. Women's hockey is a tough sell. Canadians only care during the Olympics as it means we'll win a gold or silver.
  17. Richards, well not so great a pick. Loffler OTOH a great pick. Win some, lose some.
  18. Even if 6,000 people are added on to the old season ticket base of about 8,000 the team is in better shape than it was in the 90's with the new building as it sells out at 15,000. Team merchandising ,marketing & tv deals are astronomical compared to what it was when Jets 1.0 were here. More sources of revenue than before.
  19. Here are some stats.. Winnipeg's population has grown by 100,000 since 1996. That's quite significant as it's almost the City of Regina. http://www.winnipeg.ca/cao/pdfs/population.pdf
