the Stove may be done for good....

without having all the information, I just wonder if there's reasons for what you're all complaining about. I'm not saying you're all wrong, I'm just wondering aloud if you don't have all the information.

I truly want to believe there's more to this than we, as fans, know. I want to believe there's ignorance in the complaints. But without being on the inside, I just don't know....

couple of good things this morning..first, federally: then over in Alberta, where the first polling since the election officially began has now been delivered, and has the NDP up by about 10 points. Undecideds are going Orange, and (as Gerry Butts put it) many are "quiet quitting" the UCP:

I've been thinking about the media coverage complaints all evening.... I have a lot of thoughts because I do this work, on a slightly smaller scale..... And have thoughts on what I would do, in that role. It's pretty basic on how you could use social media to improve the coverage, but...... I'm wondering if the team is limiting what's allowed to be shared. Would that ever be a thing? Like the team saying to the media "we don't want you talking about X, Y, Z..." I'm not sure. Maybe different rules that I'm not aware of. But if it's free game to talk about whatever.... I can think of a number of things, including lots of FB Live vids throughout the session.

good feature piece on a recent draft pick who's showing well in Rookie Camp:

there's really not much to talk about, is the thing. If you follow DT on Twitter, there really hasn't been much to talk about. But in terms of content, I feel like there's been more this year than previous. Jeff Hamilton, Ted Wyman and Ed Tait have all been pumping out stuff every single day...

for the longest time I was convinced that you were either Ortiz or Ortega........ and I'm not saying you're not, but in offline convos with buddies from this board, I was convinced you were one of them.......

Casey Sayles was excellent? Really? Maybe we've been spoiled by Nevis and Stove, but I thought Sayles and Walker were a pile of "Meh..." and am truly hoping that we find a real beast for the middle this year. We all wanted it to be the Ontario Provincial Police Cruiser, but now it sounds like he's not coming to camp, so who knows what's going to happen there...

I like Winnipeg, and I truly LOVE rural MB. I lived in EastMan, WestMan, Parkland and SouthMan over 27 years and there's just nothing better, for me. Especially The Shield, where my heart truly lies. I really took it for granted, and moving out to AB lit the fire and made me realize what I had. There's money out west here, to be sure, but for me, quality of life in MB..... just can't beat it.

he didn't go out in the first round of cuts, but Kyle Knox was a guy that I had hope for and didn't pan out....

that will depend entirely on how Kyrie Wilson looks post-injury....

He earned a break, for sure, but I really want to see him get back into politics...either Provincially or Federally. Canada (and Alberta, in particular) need him...

and we've had some good'ns....... Stokes and AJ3, just to name a couple....not to mention the speedy upback by the name of Wade Miller.....................................

he is right, though.... there's not a ton of real battles in camp.

If I remember right, he holds the record for all purpose kick/punt return TDs, if not total yards. No question in my mind he's the best ever for the WBB FC.

@17to85 and I were saying recently that when Jeromy ******* Farkas is saying your party is crazy, then you REALLY are a mess...... Nenshi and Farkas agreeing on something is absolutely wild, but it took the lunacy of Danielle Smith to bring them together.

woof...that's a big no thanks for this guy. I've thought about getting one of the new units (PS or XB) but only for sports games. Even then, the controllers are way too complicated for this 43 year old man. I could handle my Genesis for NHL 97 just fine....now....there's way too many buttons/joysticks going on. You know what game got me closest to buying one? The new Bassmaster video game where you can play as Jeff "Gussy" Gustafson (from Kenora) on the pro bass fishing tour. Ha ha. That's more my style...

my wife and I laugh about being DINK's all the time.... we may regret it in 20-30 years, but for now, it's a healthy lifestyle for us. I've never really been a gamer, aside from retro stuff.... we'll occaisionally pull out the Wii or N64, but that's about it.

not much to see here, but I like that Mac Danny is involved with the QBs at all...... regardless of his official position, I'm sure he can be a help in the QB room...
