  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Yet another reason for me not to read a failing newspaper.
  4. Would he have asked for his release not wanting to be on the PR?
  5. 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.
  6. This weeks picks need to be in by Friday @ 7pm
  7. As they blow out the old Reebok jerseys, you can get a Jets jersey fully customized for $80 ($50 for a blank jersey), free shipping on orders over $75. If you sign up for their news letter, you can get an extra $10 off. https://www.coolhockey.com/m43/Winnipeg-Jets/index.html?currency=CAD&language=en Oddly enough when you toggle their prices between US and CAD, they are on par.

  9. The rule is that way to prevent doing exactly what you suggested. How many times does a 3rd string QB play? How many teams would risk putting a Canadian there to get an extra import dresssed? Hell there was a time in the Khari days we were so cheap and so injured we only dressed 2 QBs
  10. I'm guessing he came terms with it with all the merchandise that was sold in year 1 and since If they used Moose, I'm betting the "buy in" from all the fans wouldn't have been the same
  11. Pastrnak signs in Boston. 6 years $40M. He is 21 so this takes him to be a UFA.
  12. Got the TSN notification on my phone. AAV is pretty good for a top 6 center. He is just about to turn 30 and has a year left on his current deal, so this will take him to 37. Not sure he will still be a top 6 center for the last few years of the contract, but the term is the price you pay for a lower AAV. Nice to get him locked up to have Scheifele / Little as your 1 - 2 centers going forward.
  13. Yep.
  14. You picked Montreal.
  15. Bring in Thorpe to take over the defense after this season.
  16. Lots of people tuned in to watch the first episode. Remains to be seen if they will return, or if ratings have already peaked.
  17. Chapdelaine was also OC. So now they have no head coach, no offensive or defensive coordinators and they play Ottawa on Sunday.
  18. Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 6PM.
  19. Originally with the team in training camp. Also of note in the link:
  20. http://3downnation.com/2017/09/06/cfl-vet-ryan-phillips-best-defensive-backs-league/ Has Randle and Heath in there from the Bombers.
