2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
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.

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/

The Winnipeg Thread
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)

The Winnipeg Thread
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.

The TV Thread
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.

I don’t really know but it doesn't seem like he’s the problem. How about that?

Which Vets do we cut next season
I would start with a Ritchie Hall retirement, and possibly replacing Paul Boudreaux (SP) as special reams coordinator, Players we need to know who is staying first, can we re-sign Oliveira and Schoen? I would be willing to move on my Zach if that means we can get Strevy. Eli needs to start at C, and as much as it pains me, maybe Grey to RT for Hardrick. I can’t see Augustine back but he is good on specials. On Defence, Thomas and Biggie for sure and then a couple new fresh cheap Canadian LB’s for specials.

Zachary threw 2 against them in a game this year and we won by 30. Just do what we do and don’t let up.

Finally settled on some home made chicken fingers, smoky queso dip with corn chips and other assorted as needed during the game.

Maybe throw in an extra spacer? Have to have something left to spray around as part of the victory celebration.

Based on the TSN pre game countdown clock we have almost 4 hours to go. Kick off somewhere around 5:42, pace yourselves…

I agree CM is not my fave. Sailor Jerry or Kraken are the go to’s in this house. Pro-tip, Kraken with President’s Choice Chocolate Eggnog is incredible.

Coaches and all staff get names on the cup. Even the chair of the board gets on there, Dayna Spiring is on there from when she was chair.

Game day breakfast in, need to finish driving around for our errands and then we’ll get in to the serious eating and game day stuff. Bombers play clean and the Larks have no chance. I see them getting 3 on their opening drive and not inside the 50 for the rest of the game.

You’re not kidding. I was looking today to book a work trip and even using a normally very good corp code the were crazy high. Even Winnipeg has been very high lately but TO in mud December was pretty cheap to book.

CFL Award Nominee Finalists
Before @DTonOBgets hung by the masses, this statement would lead me to believe that possibly he can’t vote for the home towner? “If he had a local vote” If he could have voted for Brady but didn’t he should watch out for Gmack kneecapping him before they return home.

East Final GDT - Argonauts vs Alouettes
Since the concussion excuse came out? I would have to believe they have to be thinking about releasing him from that albatross contract.

East Final GDT - Argonauts vs Alouettes
I think Pinball has some tough choices to make in TO. Do you spend $600k on an excuse machine? can you employee a coach that covered up his QB’s injury? Will be a bad look for the league as a whole if nothing happens out of Kelly’s BS excuses.
