******* Masoli....what a POS. You're supposed to be the undisputed team leader. F*** that guy so much.

Imagine having to start Antonio Pipkin in the EF......ha ha ha ha. Oh my stars....

I have absolutely no doubts this will get brushed aside and MBT will play on Sunday. But it's really funny how bush league this looks...

there's that quote from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises where he says something along the lines of "You think the darkness is your ally? You merely know the dark...I was born into the dark and it's all I've ever known.." And I always think about that when it comes to cold and Manitoba. Other places can claim they understand cold, but they don't. We're born in it...it's all we know.

Little Brown Jug 5th Birthday party tonight. Hoping to get in there for a pint to celebrate, if there's room (tiny taproom). Then off to Kilter to try out a new porter on tap. Let the West Final Party Weekend begin!

******* Argos....unbelievable.

If memory serves, they had a deal in place to move up and take Demski at 7 if he was still there, but Taman scooped them at 6......

Love Lumineers and Arkells...that'll be a great show.

Whatever...dress for the worst and it'll be fine. Manitoba has more ice fishing and snowmobiling people than anywhere else, I'd bet, so they're prepared with the necessary gear! Wife and I paid for an extra suitcase on our flight just for our ice fishing bibs, boots and parkas. Bring the weather...couldn't care less.

speaking of stealing ideas......anyone see that the TiCats are selling flags with town/city names on it, like we did in 2019? Christ sakes...

You're never going to take Demski ahead of Chungh, so it was hoped we could get him at 11, but (as I said earlier) Taman scooped us, by taking him first. Damn shame.

As I mentioned earlier, our men's division is in a bit of a lull, but there's really good players coming up through the ranks right now, just out of junior. I predict a surge, as we're seeing with the ladies now. Really curious to see how things shake down for next olympic quadrennial. I think we'll see **** get blown up but good, and hopefully the remaining pieces form some really good teams.

Stoughton 2011. A bit of a fluke, but we'll take it.

You don't do anything different from what you did during the two games this summer/fall.......they know how to beat these assholes. Just go do it again.

You have to think that with only 2.5% TP in Winnipeg, which is MOST of Manitoba....things aren't that bad, in the big picture. The balance is trying to allow all those people who got vaccinated to have the freedom they deserve with cracking down on the crazies who are prolonging the problem. You have to mass-vaccinate the north and south, and all of a sudden, Manitoba looks pretty good. As it is, if you stay within the city, you're more than fine.

I truly believe BLMs arrogance sank them. I think he's got too tight a grip on that locker room...

While I've lived pretty much everywhere in MB south of The Pas, the bolded will always be how I see Manitoba, too.

If you watched any CFL games this year, you know that Maier was their only chance of going to the Cup. I personally believe BLM wouldn't allow it, even if Dickie did want to make the change.

I'M HERE FOR THE MOLLY WHOPPINGS!!!

Alright.... Other than a brief trip to IdC to see my niece play ringette, I am not leaving the city this weekend. **** the south is such a mess. Northern reserves not a lot better, but I feel for much different reasons.

Your favourite and mine, Jamie Nye....... https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/02/weekly-predictor-betting-tiger-cats/ Saskatchewan at Winnipeg Sunday, 4:00 p.m. ET What kind of team will we see come out as they’ve lost two-straight coming into the playoffs? Although, in fairness to the Bombers, they rested a few key contributors along the way. I wanted to find recent examples of teams this dominate and so I went back to the 2014 Calgary Stampeders, who clinched first on October 18th and played five weeks later in the Western Final. They absolutely CRUSHED Edmonton in that game. The one thing I fear if I’m the Bombers is if the Roughriders can punch them in the mouth early after an emotional overtime thrill ride against the Stampeders. The last half of that football game was the Cody Fajardo show as he ran and threw his way into the Western Final, leading the Roughriders back on a key fourth quarter drive to take the lead before Calgary tied it up. I’d like to note Fajardo also threw a game-winning pass in overtime that if Kian Schaffer-Baker holds on to becomes a monster moment in both guy’s careers. Now, you also have a Riders defence that have been absolutely lights out in the second half of the season, with pass rushers that are right up there with Willie Jefferson and Jackson Jeffcoat. In fact, A.C. Leonard and Jonathan Woodard had more sacks than the Bombers All-Star trio. Those All-Star nods did make the Riders feel disrespected so if they want to prove they deserved the All-Stars themselves, they better outperform the Bombers duo. Now, here’s the difference in the game: offensive line and defensive line on both sides. There is no question the Bombers’ offensive line is better than Saskatchewan’s, while it may be a draw on the defensive side of the ball. The Riders didn’t allow a sack last week after Cody Fajardo took the most sacks in the regular season and if the Riders can keep Cody clean again this week, I’m guessing they’re off to Hamilton. I loved how committed and successful they were with William Powell on the ground early against Calgary to slow down the Bombers but now Winnipeg will see it coming. I’m picking the Riders to go up early, but not by enough to hold off the Bombers in the second half. PICK: WINNIPEG
