who was the guy who nut-punched Obby Khan?

I'm no fan of his uncle Bill either.

I was in line for Esmeraldas in 1992 in Red Deer and met a guy who had driven up to Alberta from Los Angeles. He was amazed that we had electricity, and stop lights, and the same fast food restaurants. I think that he thought that we were more like Mexico or something. He was kind of entertaining until he started berating us for not carrying guns. Then it was not so funny.

I just hope no one on the Winnipeg O-line gets mad this week and takes a penalty.

ha ha Kindly Cal coached some of the toughest hombres that ever served in the Bomber trenches. He'd be super-stoked I am sure about Hardrick's hit, but would still make him pay $.25 for his cup of Gatorade.

ha ha I was told to prepare to be treated with hostility when I was in Quebec in 2017 for a holiday, but found everyone to be really friendly. Can't say a bad word about my experience, everything was pretty awesome. Other than they were speaking some weird language I'd never heard before... True story - I struck up a conversation with an American lady in Quebec City while waiting for a bus. Half-way through she asked me what part of the US I was from, and I told her I was actually from Canada. She couldn't believe it! "Your English, you speak it so well!" That's the extent of the knowledge most Americans have of us. We are all poutine-eating Pepe Lepeau speaking lumberjacks.

That's been their policy since 1776. It is what it is. Personally doesn't bother me much. There's a big world out there.

11 games with Brandon. Most of his WHL career was with PG.

There are non-English speaking countries? Interesting...

having been to several NFL games, I have to say the pacing of the CFL is so much more entertaining. The NFL games have these long periods between plays, which is just so freaking boring.

just wanted to say, growing up I was a big fan of Pete Catan. I'd be curious to know what he would have thought of Hardrick's actions. I doubt he'd be as judgey as you.

there had been two late hits on Nichols prior to that play. I agree the timing of it wasn't exactly perfection, but it did achieve the purpose it was designed to do. Given none of us were in the trenches that night, we don't and never will know what was really going on, but I am willing to give Jemarcus the benefit of the doubt.

Me likey!

fair enough, real fight photos it is...

any Rider fans going? You could do a fake fight photo (or real as the case may be after the booze starts flowing). A buddy of mine who is a big Habs fan had a photo taken like that at his wedding with his Bruin fan buds, and his Bruin fan wife. Kind of silly but they loved it.

I did click the link, not sure what I am doing wrong.

Is there a South Eastern Manitoba one? Niverville...Steinbach...Landmark?

What about Al Simmons?

Were Boots and the Ginger sitting next to you guys too?

so Goltz takes a knee with time on the clock in regulation and we go into overtime. Edmonton scores on their first possession. We get the ball at the 35. On TV, you can clearly hear a fan yelling "Take a knee!!" Funny stuff.

So a whole pile of people decided to get paid today huh? Lazy asses. Something happens and then you show up right? OK!

I don't remember that - I do remember him taking a knee in a tie ball game with time left on the clock. That one had me baffled.
