  1. Not only are Biggie and Osh winning, but it'll be unanimous.
  2. update on the WX for this weekend. Sun and cloud mix most of tomorrow (tho heavy rain in the morning) with a high around +15 (!!), then Sun and Cloud on Sunday with a high around +5. Not too freakin' shabby for December. Perfect football weather...
  3. the noise on Sunday will be about half the decibels of Sask on LDC. Not concerned about their ability to handle that. The headset bullshit is something else. alright....hopefully they get that sorted.
  4. If you don't let them know they're stupid, how will they ever know?
  5. I'm just here for the HIMYM memes.....
  6. This is..........interesting........ The CFL is trying to work out of the financial hole mostly caused by the pandemic, commissioner Randy Ambrosie and the owners hope revenue sharing can help lead to prosperity around the league in the future. “We used the crisis to really reexamine: how do we approach the business of the game? Because the game is great but the business has to punch at its weight in order to have a really good league,” Ambrosie said. There are many financial questions facing the CFL and fans around the country are curious if the three-down league can progress onward and upward amid the crisis the virus has created. “We found a way to restructure our business in a way that’s going to give us a much stronger foundation, a much, much stronger financial foundation,” Ambrosie said. Behind the scenes, the board of governors agreed to a revenue sharing model between the franchises for the first time in almost 40 years. “At the heart of the philosophy is that we want all teams to be able to break even, if they do some, most, if not all of the right things. And we’re going to hold each other accountable to that standard,” Ambrosie said. The CFL lost between $60 and $80 million due to the cancelled 2020 season. Despite further financial losses for the league this year, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers except to post a “meaningful” profit. “I’m not trying to suggest in any way, shape or form that we don’t have work to do, we do, we have lots of work to do in the days to come,” Ambrosie said. “We’ll have to work tirelessly, [the Grey Cup] game will end at roughly 9:30 p.m. on Sunday night — we’ll take 12 hours off. And yes, we have challenges to face.”
  7. I was actually surprised that this Twitter jagoff isn't from Alberta, with an off chance of Sask.........I just tend to assume, at this point.
  8. The desire to be a contrarian at all times, because somehow that makes you cooler or a better fan, to be different from the majority here? I just don't get that.
  9. Ya for us it was too far from AB. We decided our "Grey Cup" trip would be the West Final. Next year when we're back, in The Gap, wife and I will make a full weekend of it.... Get good and drunk enough that I forget I'm in the land of knuckle dragging cousin f***ers....
  10. To think that the Bombers are only a run game. Get ******. Collaros is the best, most accurate passer I've seen in a Bombers uniform in my adult life....
  11. Jake The Snake Ireland was a guy I always thought was out to get us. I'm generally a fan of Tom Valessi, Frenchie Proulx, Al Bradbury and the rest.... One of them (Bradbury?) is a Winnipegger, and usually helps the team out by attending some practices and film sessions to explain how the refs will call certain things...
  12. Glad to see the Proulx love. Without question my favourite ref!
  13. there's an element of "Bombers in '19 and Ottawa over Calgary in ______, so how did that happen? What am I missing? We all called the favourite, but the 'dog won....let's figure out how that happened and try to be better at predicting the outcome".......which ties in to what Dave is saying. They're looking for more layers, rather than just seeing the obvious.
  14. Also, "Our head says Bombers, but our heart says TiCats" is just the perfect encapsulation of the national media this week.......
  15. Bombers socials always just straight fire.......
  16. I really feel like people want them to win because "they're due" or "it's their turn" or whatever....that bullshit. I think deep down, everyone knows we're going to spank the Cants something fierce.
  17. Was it him or someone else that got busted for using "Molly" while hitting some clubs in the city.....?
  18. there's "being human", and there's blasting your recent employer in a very public forum, which I'd call "being an *******".....
  19. I soured a bit on Leggett after he was cut and went on Rod Pedersen's podcast and blasted the organization saying they didn't treat players well and gave his reasons on why the team would never win a cup, etc.... it's a shame because, on the other side of the coin, I remember being at TC the year it was at the soccer complex, and ML was the safety that year, and he was talking to a group of kids and explaining what his job was and just generally being really great to the kids. I had a lot of respect, but that got washed away after he left the team...
  20. but that's a whole other generation. I think for the purposes of this conversation, it's about who helped dig out from the Tim Burke "bottom of the barrel" situation....
  21. I don't know if I could love this any more than I do.......
  22. ^^ only thing that matters.....
  23. Rewatching the gane tonight... Literally just watched the Duke non catch.... Infuriating. The push off was clear as day and multiple angles showed the nose of the ball in the turf. It's been said already but the clear comparison is Bailey's catch in the GC and its ridiculous that they don't follow precedent.
  24. Glenn was a legitimate CFL starting QB and MOP candidate. Faj is a glorified Nealon Greene.
