Congratulations to KBF! Now a proud recipient of a $50 Bomber Store gift certificate.

Preseason is over. Time to get to the real season and do it in style like only Jagr can.

Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 7:30 PM

Cost would definitely be the biggest issue. Here is an article from 2014 and the cost for disability insurance for NFL players. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/most-nfl-players-dont-buy-disability-insurance/ Rookies get paid $400k if you don't count bonuses. So you are looking at losing an additional 5 - 10% of your gross pay taken out of you net pay. Not crippling, but not peanuts either. Wonder if the CFL would ever be in a position to split that cost 50/50.

Yep. Remind me I forget at the end of the week and enter your pick in wrong.

The True North chant at Bomber games has been slowly losing momentum, not as loud as it used to be. Won’t be much longer until it is gone. Was mentioned earlier in the thread, but my biggest pet peeve with it at Jets games is the crowd cheering themselves for chanting it.

If Poolman / Chiarot are going to be the 7th dman, can see Poolman being sent down for the sole reason of getting him play time and not sitting in the press box. 1st call up for injuries though.

To be clear, this has nothing to do with the Bombers financial obligations to pay off the loan. This is the financing deal the government put in place to build the stadium. The province was supposed to realize a bunch of tax revenue from the development of the old CanadInns stadium grounds that would pay part of the financing to build the stadium. Due to lack of development and the Target building sitting vacant, the government has decided to take a $56M loss as they see no way of recouping the income it was supposed to generate. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/manitoba/stadium-loan-writedown-province-1.4299473 Don't think this is a big surprise to anyone. The government did what it had to to get the stadium built. Now that there is a new government in power, the get the blame the old government.

If his paper wants to put up a paywall, he should bust his ass writing compelling content instead of complaining on being scooped on sonething that can be reported with a tweet.

Yet another reason for me not to read a failing newspaper.

Would he have asked for his release not wanting to be on the PR?

This article came out after the shooting g of a location manager for the 4th season of Narcos. Sounds to me like Pablo’s brother is implying he had the shooting done because they aren’t getting the money they’ve demanded from Netflix. http://globalnews.ca/news/3755184/pablo-escobars-brother-narcos-should-provide-hitmen/ Crazy.
