  1. SEE, SEE HOW INCLUSIVE I AM?!!? Not sure what your point is...? Is that a shot? A lot of people went to the open house. It was a great idea. Pass.
  2. Or if Hank gets hurt. **** Ottawa.
  3. Reilly is a much better qb than anything Hamilton has.
  4. So Taman gets replaced by the same guy twice in his career.... from napkin to database Should be here replacing Walters & not Regina if that happens.
  5. We just stay the course... Keep the same people in charge. Even if they screw up or not. Other teams have had a Grey Cup Committee chaired by someone not employed by the host team but was a business leader in the community. The committee worked closely with but were not affiliated with the host team. These Committees handled the GC arrangements & everything else assocciated with the Grey Cup. The Chair was full time. Often, these committees were in business for 2 years prior to their own Grey Cup. Why coudn't we have had that? Instead it was left up to Wade Miller to screw up. Meanwhile in Regina, Calgary Sun Stamps beat reporter has tweeted the Riders have asked permission to interview Stamps Asst GM John Murphy & that Huff has said okay.
  6. Calgary Sun Scott Mitchell is tweeting that Huff has given the Riders permission to talk to John Murphy...
  7. Watched a documentary on the JFK assasination last night. Majority of Americans think the Mafia bumped him off. And that there was more than 1 shooter. The Warren Commision Report was a whitewash.
  8. Will the City be cheering the Esks or redblacks? I can't cheer for Ottawa... They build a GC qualifying team in 2 freaking years. Yeah, I'm bitter but I don't care. Go Esks. .
  9. He's giving hints when asked that he's going to retire.
  10. You called IGF "logistically challenged". How can a new football stadium that is the permanent home of the Blue Bombers with a capacity of 33,500, also designed to hold huge events like concerts & the Grey Cup be logistically challenged? Did no one in charge from the Bomber organization look at the architectural & engineering plans & say, "Wait a minute. This won't work" I find what you said very disappointing.
  11. Frank... His name is Frank.Someone in the media here in Calgary called him that after a very bad Western Final loss & the name stuck.
  12. In the case of the Survivor Series the arena is attached to CNN world HQ. But as far as attacking major sports event I could see WWE being on the list. If for no other reason then it's a major event with a lot of people on live TV. If they actually care that it's WWE, the company has been very supportive of US troops. But I think this list was ideas offered up for lone wolf attackers. No reason why you wouldn't include wwe if you're just making a list of random "sporting" events in major cities. It's a terrible thought.
  13. Ahhhhhhh..... why even go there?
  14. We keep Walters. Riders hire Murphy. If it happens that'll play great.
  15. Truth hurts.
  16. Mathew Scianitti said he wouldn't be surprised if Bad Hank showed up tomorrow Hank just goes to pieces in big, big games. That's why Calgary gave up on him.
  17. Sure, make the WWE anti ISIS. And a target of some nutjob. They have a myriad of characters they can create. That would be the dumbest thing right now. I also think advertisers & tv network would not want anything to do with an angle like that.
  18. Not an Ottawa fan. I'd love tosee that team lose. I've seen Hank choke, literally choke in big games before while a Stampeder. I wouldn't be surprised if his alter ego Frank shows up tomorrow playing badly with the Deer In The Headlights look to him
  19. Picking Calgary. All the pressure is on Edmonton to win.
  20. Yeah, we'll miss the boat on that one.
  21. That was 1990/91 when it was a different time. Now?? It wouldn't be smart.
  22. To me, discounted football tickets to the Grey Cup is a slap in the face to people who paid a lot of money in good faith beforehand to buy their seats. As much as I'd like to think it was a goodwill gesture by Nissan, if this GC had sold out early the football players would have had to pay full price to go like everybody else. Nissan has done a wonderful job helping high schools in this country get their football teams back but they did this to help the Bombers & the CFL paper the stadium to get every seat sold. Some like True Blue will say this is a great geature by Nissan allowing a thousand football players to experience the Grey Cup. Others will say, wait a minute, I paid full price, this isn't fair as I trusted the Bombers & now people are getting in with huge discounts, even free? I guess your POV depends upon if you paid for your seat or got in free at a lower price or for free.
  23. Did the Dinos ever choke last week. They were stomped.
  24. Telus, Bell & Rogers have the country by the you know what. The Canadian Way.
  25. It was 1000 tickets and it would have been a taxable write off for Nissan since the tickets were donated. Nice that you spin this story in a negative way, when there are now 1000 students (lots from lower income families) that will now get the chance of a lifetime to see the championship game live with their teammates. This wouldn't have been possible without Nissan's generosity. I didn't "spin" anything. It's what I heard. I was asking if anyone knew if the story told to me was true, that's all. That's the way your post came across to me. Yeah, well you work for the Bombers & it appears that you are extra sensitive. If you're going to be this way maybe you shouldn't be a mod here as it is a conflict of interest. Just a member. I was just asking a question, nothing else. Uh iso, it wasnt just true that felt you were using the nissan thing as a negative. As in, they didnt sell em so they are blowing em out! " type angle. I asked a frigging question. I didn't insinuate or spin anything. Otherwise, don't go looking for something that ain't.
