  1. So on this topic... The only reason I still live in AB (actually just turned down a job offer in Brandon) is because my wife - an only child - is the sole caregiver for her mother, who has MS and is in a care home at only 66. My wife needs to be in AB to take her mother to appointments and such. The MIL has been there the past 10ish years and recently had to move to an extended care floor as the MS worsens and she has less function. All this to say that you never know how many days you've got on the clock. Stay as healthy as you can and live every day to the fullest. The pandemic kicked my ass and I gained a pile of weight. I stopped drinking and cut out junk in January and dropped about 50lbs as of July. Hoping to lose another 10-15 and I'll be where I want. As much as I miss beer and the occasional evening whiskey, I'm much healthier, both physically and mentally (tied together very tightly!!) and living a much better/happier life.
  2. He's on TSN virtually every game. Mike can speak more to Ray's disappearance from the boards as they're very close, but I believe he said Ray just isn't into the boards anymore. Fun to know that he and his wife, the former Lil Blue 85 from OB.com, were both regulars over there. Great people, both....
  3. Was recently talking with an in-law who is a staunch CPC supporter and he was adamant that JPT will continue to get elected because there's more of Canada that equate with "his values" than there are who equate to PP and the CPC. He openly said he wished more of Canada believed what they believe in the small town Canadian prairies, but... For now, the votes are with the progressives. Personally, I hope he's right....
  4. Furbelly Darren is still a big Bombers fan who lives around Winnipeg. He and his buddy Lee (Llamicus) were fantastically sarcastic assholes who kept OB.com in check and made sure anyone who got cocky was taken down a peg in a real hurry. They also played in a metal cover band...the name of which escapes me at the moment. Lee ended up out in BC but still follows the Bombers. Guys like that are always needed and I'm glad we had them for awhile on OB.com.
  5. It was this. I knew Morris a bit and he was an old school radio guy (did some work in various rural MB outlets) and also a wrestling fan. He truly committed to the bit he was performing. Like Howard Stern meets Old School Pro Wrestling Heel. He had some good old school radio stories but he was also crazy. I obviously spend a fair bit of time committed to trolling on here, but that guy took it to another level.
  6. Jesus Christ... So sorry, fellas. That is brutal. My old man is a gym fiend that was a weightlifter for awhile, then trimmed down to do more marathons (and a couple triathlons) and now just works out to stay healthy as long as he can. He's 68 this year and, save for a couple gall bladder scares, he's been remarkably healthy. I'm glad and thankful to still have him. Even more so after reading some posts tonight ...
  7. He's just gotta be eased into the idea....
  8. Biggie having just gone through this will be helpful for Brown. Lot of crazy **** for this team, so far... Can only think it'll galvanize em going forward... Births and deaths.
  9. https://twitter.com/CFL_News/status/1679197001601413120?t=_ggbSFVRI3ipUV7sYDQBZA&s=19 For what it's worth, Henoc says he talked to him and MBT not going to Ottawa.
  10. Seeing a lot of rage toward JPT online today re: Interest rate hikes. Not going over well at all....
  11. Hilarious. Teeth grinding because people under 50 love a cashless society.
  12. Love that Segel got a nom for Shrinking and Lyonne for Poker Face. Two wildly underrated shows.
  13. That's the one! So true...
  14. Eeeeaaaaaasy.....eeeeeeeeeraaaassssyyyyyyyyy......... Steady now.............
  15. Jeff - you once posted the Despicable Me "Why Are You So Old.....??" meme... If I wasn't on my phone I would do it myself. We need that now....
  16. I think I'm gonna go with Brady O this week. I'm feeling a red zone run...
  17. For me, exact opposite about Ricky Walker. Not that it matters one iota, just for whatever reason that's what I had in my head. Also, love love love "Maier McCheese" and so glad it's taking off. Huge ups to whoever it was that started that.
  18. This is amazing stuff and the reason this is the only message board for Bombers and CFL diehards.
  19. As pretty much always, Chevy drafted well... There's good times coming for sure. We also have both the OHL and WHL goalies of the year, and a couple interesting Euros as well. Might be dark in the short term but brighter days aren't far off.
  20. What's funny is millennials aren't the young generation anymore. They're mid to late 30s now. Showing your age by calling out the "old" millennials, there, Boomer. I'm not even sure what the young kids today are... I'm old as **** and I'm Gen X-ennial...
  21. Now here's a question.... Malik Clements has been playing pretty well. I am a huge Kyrie Wilson fan, but does he automatically come in for Clements when healthy?
  22. Definitely not... My wife pays for a Global players salary with her purchase of local beers at games.... Ha ha. We're in 226 because @JCon told me West Side Rules...............
  23. Who in the actual **** has physical cash on them and why are you so old? (Waits for Al to come in with an off the wall rant about how things are done in Alberta or MB back in 1971)
  24. I must be in a good section or something because everyone is great about when to make noise.
  25. Never is until the first day of practice, when they release an injury report.
