anybody watched/watching "Welcome To Wrexham" on Disney+?? A buddy just tipped me off about it, and I'm about 8 or 9 eps deep so far. Essentially, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McLhenny (It's Always Sunny...) bought a very-low-tier soccer team in Wales, which had been shitty, and are trying to turn them (and the community in which they reside) around. It's a documentary, but it's really funny in that "Ryan Reynolds-y" way with a ton of heart. My buddy described it as a real life Lasso, but it's not really that....though it has all the heart and unrelenting positivity of Lasso. Anyhow, recommendation from me on that one, fwiw...

one of these nights I'm going to fire it up, for sure. For anyone that hasn't seen it yet, if you like Gleeson, check out The Grand Seduction (featuring every working actor in Newfoundland, and then some...) which is just absolutely fabulous. It does for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador what "One Week" (Josh Jackson) does for Western Canada. It's a love letter....

Yeah this was talked about yesterday afternoon - it's wonderful that it's a running joke in the league.

IIRC, we had multiple dropped passes of our own, on offense, but those get conveniently forgotten when they don't forget the narrative. That **** always gets evened out during a game.

that's fair....also possibly Woogie....

Interesting tidbit from the local scribes about who was unanimous: So how was Demski not unanimous for MOC? I'm trying to think of who else it might have been.......an OL? Liegghio?

there's a joke in here somewhere about that picture not being Deatrick Nichols......strange error in the graphics department, I'm sure....

I hate to see it for any player, but I have a feeling about this as well....

for all the worry about karma and yada yada........ the thing you have to keep in mind is the Bombers truly are another class above everyone else in this league. Yes, come playoffs, Any Given Sunday and all that........ but we SHOULD beat every other team in the league every time because we really are that much better than everyone else, from coaching to talent on the field.

my right eye is twitching because of you assholes.....ha ha. ******* splitting hairs around here....

I'd been thinking about doing this for awhile... Good call. This trailer looks great. Looking forward to it!

I don't think Kolankowski is going to be back anytime soon..... sounds like his knee is jagged. Hasn't practiced all week. Couture is C for sure, and Dobson will be the 6th man...

I don't ever wanna wish a serious, debilitating injury upon anyone, but I'd just LOVE to see 2Jeff2Furious Texas Two Step Rourke right back onto the sideline for a long while and re-think their playoff situation.......

if anyone's Cletus, it's Goober on the BC OL....

He was nearly indiscernible as Penguin in the newest Batman.....did a great job in that.

I love that it's a running joke around the league.....

re: Players leaving........ don't underestimate how many of these guys would LOVE the opportunity to win a GC at IGF in a few years, if they can play that long.

What I wonder about Bighill is if he's the kind of guy who will know when it's time to hang 'em up, or if he's gonna need to be dragged off the field kicking and screaming, kinda like Harris. Even Osh, himself, never retired....just outright refused. He just played until no team would let him anymore. The worst case scenario is a situation like Harris where there's animosity after so many good years together.

Yeah, let Woogie and BOO play if we need the NI for the roster, or let McCrae take Demski's spot if we don't need it to be NI...

I have a lot of concerns about how much longer Bighill will be around..... he's such a key guy in the room, I'd really hate to lose him, but father time catches us all.
