I packed my Canadian Mafia tshirt for this coming weekend.... if it is, indeed, the end of the road for The Trinity after this post-season, they'll be fondly remembered. It's been a hell of a run.

again, just something I heard from an indigenous musician in Manitoba that I'm friendly with. I was as surprised as you all to hear that take....

this... if the ownership put money into the product, maybe the fans would come back and give him a reason to be optimistic....? Definite chicken and egg scenario.

I personally think this is just the greatest thing... His dog rescuing.... But it's interesting, I have some indigenous friends from the Grand Rapids area who are vehemently opposed to it. Believe the dogs are best left in their natural state, as wolves, hunting outdoors. That these so called rescue efforts are more akin to stealing or kidnapping. I've never looked at it that way, but it's an opinion that's out there apparently.

Yeah, the offseason is SO LONG, I can't imagine missing a game when the season comes around. And that's ALL games, not just Bombes. NFL sucks, the NHL is just too big of a league to follow, with way too many games.... curling gets me through the offseason, but once April rolls around, I'm so ready for CFL news to come back around. I PVR every Bomber game during the season, keep the wins, and rewatch those throughout the offseason to get me through. Thank goodness for technology...

World Curling Tour is serious business. Most of the international teams are paid by their government to do it full time. Canadians are MOSTLY full timers but some have part time jobs like realtors or personal trainers. But ya it's a REALLY big deal.

We have the pieces... We have the coaches to design the right plays..... No excuses.

I am so hopelessly addicted to CFL football, it's probably a diagnosable condition. I rarely, if ever, miss any CFL game. I love the small boutique-ness of the league where you know virtually every player on every team. I really love the pro curling circuit a lot, but there is nothing that I get fired up for like the CFL.

Especially if we've been practicing in **** all week and they've been in the dome..

Only thing that concerns me is the Bailey and Schoen injuries. If we were at full health, I'd be very confident for next weekend....

DON'T PUT THAT OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE!!!!

I was thinking he was just a kid but I wasn't sure. I don't know anything about him. So likely it'd be Goveia then. Gonna be an interesting off season....

Oh Christ, VAJ is gonna need a new helmet with how big his head will be next weekend. That's a cocky bunch over there...

Everyone seems super high on that Cyril guy who scouts down south for them... But not sure if he's just a bird dog or if he is eyeing up the big chair. There's so much that goes with being a GM. Walters is a friggin genius when it came to the cap and all that... Going to be near impossible to replace.

This is the conversation I'm interested in. I assume Goevia but I'm curious who WANTS the job and who would work well with Osh. The thing about Walters and Osh is that they've been buddies forever.

Thanks for looking after this Rich. Goddamnit I was in the hunt for most of this year but fell off late. Sonsabitches.

Thanks fellas. Always a blast.

Appreciate the info. You're one of the few on here I trust explicitly.

Packing our ice fishing clothes on the flight east but not sure we'll need em. Gonna be a great day on the Stone Angel patio and then to a rowdy IGF with our STH fam!

Re: Bad Blood... Maybe I misinterpreted JBR post about why Walters is heading to Ham, but you can rest assured that JBR isn't BSing when he says Walters is going (for apparent family reasons) and that Steinauer is also leaving and Milanovich is taking over... Among the big changes in Ham this coming offseason.

Calgary is really really bad. That's the take away here. Also, that WCW vs Nitro reference is sick.... Damn it, it's still 1998 to me!!

It's gonna be truth soon enough. Here's hoping he can go out with one last cup before he heads home.

I've never been worried about VAJ... We'll see what happens next week. Sure hope we manage to sell the last 3k tix anyhow....
