  1. I don’t think it’s the contract amount that is at issue, he was the least needed of our OL free agents. Eli is already on the roster and better at centre. With Bryant, Gray/Dobson, Eli, Neufeld and Hardrick/Richmond we have the best O-Line on the league and have better protection for Zach than we had before. That $50 or 60k over a rookie developmental is needed for other players.
  2. Three of is share an office, two in our 50's and one in her 40's. We were having a conversation back before US Thanksgiving and started talking Turkey Drop and she had no idea what we were talking about. Had to bring up the clip on Youtube and share it. Oh the youth, the lack of education is shocking!!!
  3. Stronson? Or maybe he wouldn't ever come out from behind his keyboard...
  4. I HATE this signing so much. I just can't think of any situation that this is good for us. Of anyone that we should have been okay letting walk he gets re-signed? F#&K it is going to be a long season of watching Zack on his back.
  5. T & B will need to calm themselves a bit, can't imagine them at a game with him playing considering how excited they are normally.
  6. I sure hope this kicker is the real deal, could be the next Bob Cameron and move here for life, well, maybe moving to your in-laws home town isn’t the draw one might think it could be…
  7. Not true, if you go to the original KP Facebook post they comment that it is going in the building with Qdoba and the under construction nail salon. The construction in the lot itself is for future development. What kills me about Sorrento’s is that the menu has a great looking pasta dish on it that is let one of their menu items, some stock photo the designer used…
  8. Last spring while my MIL was in Seven Oaks we ate at the McPhilips location a few times. Pizza and salads are good but the rest of the menu falls a little flat. I have a hard time seeing this be a full concept location given the old Fast Fired location they are going in too. I hope success for all locals but this one makes me wonder…
  9. Someone on Reddit is posting weekly updates… https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/s/UmNX1DIIRr
  10. I have a 2011 East Division Championship T that we bought for our entire staff in preparation for Grey Cup. We all wore the. To work the Friday before, I imagine this we meant to be out before GC itself.
  11. If I remember correctly they did like a 12 days of Christmas with the announcement of a new signing each day as we approached year end. I expected there to be a couple more by now after Willie early in the week.
  12. I sure am glad I caught up on this thread on my lunch break, not during a Teams call or something...
  13. I have to fly to Toronto for a couple days later this month. I’ve decided to wait and watch them on my trip. Easier to not start and then binge than wait each week.
  14. I'm not sure the format but possibly even an allowance for certain % increase for increases after the first 3 years. 5% /year for the next three, 7.5% for years 7 to 9 or some other sort of escalator.
  15. I think the front office cap should have an adjustment specifically for longevity. As must as the Naturalized Canadian Rule is confusing it provides an incentive for staying with the same time longer, the same should happen for staff that stay with teams for a long period of time.
  16. I wonder how many Consultant contracts Pinnacle Staffing Solutions has signed lately... I can't remember is Kyle said it in his official presser or on CJOB that morning "Wade found a way to make it happen..."
  17. I am choosing to believe that Buck was doing his Bomber best and trolling the Riders by feigning interest and driving the price up, further crippling them for the future seasons.
  18. New Season of Slow Horses premiered on Apple TV+ yesterday. I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons, looking forward to this one.
  19. Thank you. I was rushing on a quick lunch break and had just heard the news on the radio and the first thread was the Move on From. Collaros and it was “Hot” and nothing in there and grabbed the wrong one after that.
  20. How am I here posting Walter’s two year extension before anyone else. Does no one listen to radio anymore? https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/11/28/blue-bombers-and-general-manager-kyle-walters-agree-to-terms-on-two-year-extension/
  21. 3rd overall and 1st for raising a family, pretty proud of the city I moved out of to live in the country… (I don’t feel it is hypocritical, more ironic really)
  22. On the same weekend the Globe and Mail rates us Third most livable city in the country...
  23. Despite the cost it is the right answer. 3 or 4 Billion to move it now or 700 Million for Arlington Bridge and then 1.5B for Slaw Rebchuk and on and on in to the future. The possible economic boon from the area currently covered by the rail yard was estimated at 4 or 5 times the cost of moving it (if my memory is correct). How many housing units could be built on that land (after remediation) and the societal gains from removing the division between the North and the rest of the city would have a value as well, but I have no idea how to place an amount on it. We need to get past doing the cheapest right now and start doing the best for ever solution.
  24. Could we get so lucky as for DT get called up to the “bigs” could Derek Traitor become DTonTSN??? Oh we can hope!!!
  25. Is anyone else watching Lessons in Chemistry on AppleTV? Watched the most recent episode after tonight’s debacle in Hamilton and I have to say, I really enjoy that show. Not at all what I would normally choose but very well written and told.
