Fast Forwarding / Skipping games on PVR
GCJenks replied to Brandon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think it will be less than it should be. Didn't most people already commit to next year (possibly the year after as well) to get a discount on their Grey Cup ticket? What really stands out to me is that if I am not using my normal seats (company also has a suite) I can't even get a sniff when trying to sell them on Facebook. First couple of years everyone wanted any extra seat they could get. This week I had to work hard to give them away. Last night we took our 2 1/2 year old for his first game, if I didn't have the distraction of keeping him some what entertained I would have been even more disgusted with that display. There is no longer any part of that 3 + hours spent on the UofM campus that can at all be considered good entertainment value. -
Around the CFL Regular Season Discussion
GCJenks replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
He's not on the depth chart. I believe. Thanks I found it too after I asked (should have googled depth chart instead or roster D'oh), on the 1 game injured. -
Around the CFL Regular Season Discussion
GCJenks replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Montreal play tonight. Can anyone find a depth chart for tonight's game? You'd have to believe if he is left off a second week that something is up and he'll be moving somewhere else soon. Would love to see him here, even if it's just so he can't get to any more of our QB's. -
It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...
GCJenks replied to IC Khari's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I would love to see us bring Bobby Dyce home again. -
I'm not too sure on this. I think Forde is settling in to the role of Rod's Straight Man. I am pretty sure he fed Rod the "Green Hornet & Cato" line a few plays before the TD.

Here's some of my thoughts from being at the game last night. Marve brings excitement and flair to the game. Would be a great change of pace when Willy is struggling. I thought Jhomo Gordon looked pretty impressive for such a young kid. Returning punts, kick offs and a nice catch or two. Just needs some more time to learn to run sharper routes. Addison Richards looked horrible in the couple of balls thrown his way, Tayman is probably choking on his Subway laughing so hard at us with our "revenge" pick. This didn't look like a team ready for the play offs and a Grey Cup appearance, let's hope the other teams are as slow in their development too.

Victoria Hospital has always had parking available and in my opinion not having to cross Pembina with a child is key. It is an official place to park? IE they have people taking money for game day parking? or what? Yes, it's "official" parking for the games. Someone will be there to take your $$. I don't remember what they charged, I had left my stadium parking pass in the other car and was already grumpy.

Just read the Lawless article on the Freep website. He really should credit this forum and this thread for writing his article for him. Every salient point he makes has been discussed here in the past few days. He likely copy and pasted much of it.

Ricky Foley finds it within himself to address the trade. After reading this I actually kind of respect the guy. http://www.leaderpost.com/letter+from+Ricky+Foley+Riders+fans/10763797/story.html

I can't tell you which is better but I am glad we have them both. I think what Walters pulled off last off season to get both these guys here was pure genius.

Shawn Coates former Media Relations WBB
GCJenks replied to DR. CFL's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Unbelievable to me that Shawn is gone so young. We first met some 25 years ago at the UofM when I was working for Bison Sports and he was writing for the Manitoban. Our paths crossed many times over the years and I always respected his ability to remember the name of anyone he met. My fondest memory will be of Shawn showing up at my wedding social at 12:30am after whatever event he was working and wanting to by auction tickets etc. We had a good laugh and a quick visit as things were winding down. -
Maurice Leggett signs contract extension
GCJenks replied to blitzmore's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I love the way he plays. Knowing that he's going to be here for 3 years tempts me to get a jersey with a current players name on it for the first time in quite a while. -
I am not surprised by but for sure not in favour of this move. Willy will be lucky if he doesn't come out of this season with a serious head injury. He's already suffering and not making the quick decisions he needs too to stay upright. Would love a look to see what Marve can do when he has the reps in practice and a game plan to his strengths.

Pinball's Grey Cup Ring Stolen at BC Place
GCJenks replied to Rich's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
So let me see if I got this right. The site admin starts a thread, a site mod starts another thread on the same topic, another site mod then has to merge them together. Something about this just doesn't seem right... Back on topic, I have tried a few GC rings from a few sources. Most will let people they know or meet in a controlled environment try them but a stranger in a 30 000 person crowd what was he thinking? -
I skimmed the article, couldn't bring myself to read it all the way through. I very quickly got the impression that this was somewhat a "Make Up Article" after the last B.S. one he wrote. Like a ref that misses a call and tries to make up for it, getting it right the first time is still the most important. PW remains a ******.

Which is pretty damning when it comes to the guys on the beat isn't it? When the guy who only covers them part time knows more about what's going on than the guys on the beat full time. This is why we complain about the papers so much. I have given up on the papers. If I need Bomber news or a football fix I come here.
-
Really felt for AK or more so his parents. They were in the stands last night and he only had 1 pass thrown his way all night. He didn't make the catch but the P.I. call got us a first down and a smile on his dad's face.

Do you wear your Bomber gear to work on game day?
GCJenks replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I have a couple of Bomber golf shirts and always where them to work on home game days, and often away games as well. -
I think these are the best ones yet except maybe B.C. but the "Lumber Jacket" print on the helmet has got to go.

CFL investigating EJ Kuale - obscene gesture after Ticats game
GCJenks replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Sounds like it was a lot more than that. He was pretty over the top with lewd crotch-grabbing gestures and swearing. If that is the case I stand by my first statement. Such a D-Bag. -
CFL investigating EJ Kuale - obscene gesture after Ticats game
GCJenks replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I have never liked Kuale, always thought he was a D-bag. When he was signed my only positive thought was "At least he won't be taking cheap shots at our players anymore." I had hoped O'Shea was going to be develop the positive side of this player but doesn't look like he has had any success just yet. That being said, I don't think a player giving fans that have hassling him all night the finger is such an egregious act that media is still talking about it 5 days later. -
I think I was more mad about this than almost anything else I saw last night. If anyone had done more than touch him they would have been flagged for 15 yards yet if they let up on him he can get up and keep going? He gave himself up to avoid contact, feet first or sideways it's the same thing.

Does this mean Will Ford may get on the roster this week already? I've lost track of how many Int. RB's they have.
-
I am a little surprised to see Kelly listed on the Depth Chart, I thought he had been ruled out. Would have expected him on the 1 Game I.R, and someone else added to the roster.
