  1. I think the broadcasters have been doing a good job. You guys don't know how lucky we are having Randorf and DeBrusk, who are probably the best tandem available. I think you're just used to the regional broadcast blowing so much smoke up your ass, that anything close to even-handed seems like it's tilting the other way...
  2. I'm no huge FM fan by any means, but I was at that last tour when it hit Calgary, and it was definitely a solid show. So many hits between FM and Stevie's solo stuff...
  3. From the Taiter: Ed Tait‏ @EdTaitWFC 31m31 minutes ago More Ed Tait Retweeted CFL Communications This affects the #Bombers drafting positions after the second round. Still pick 4th, 5th and 14th, but now 25th, 34th, 43rd, 52nd, 61st and 70th overall -- each pick dropped down two spots due to the Toronto and Montreal territorial selections
  4. knocking on wood, but if we can get Leafs and fLames fans outta the playoffs, Twitter is going to be SO MUCH more enjoyable...

  6. We scored 2 goals......one of which was the most precise (I dare say a bit of a fluke) redirect/deflection/tip that there could possibly be, and the other was a really good out-hustle, out-work, crash the net play. Full marks to the Jets, but I'm not sure how last night's game shows that "we've finally gotten to the guy at the other end"...

  8. I'm not even going to vote on this category.....this seems like a poll strictly for the old men who don't like that more recent players have been winning spots.....here, this one is all yours....
  9. RHÉANNE M. @WPG_BLUEBOMBERS SHARE WINNIPEG, MB., April 16, 2019 – The Winnipeg Football Club today released its 2018 annual report and announced an overall operating profit of $2.6 million. “We are pleased with our overall financial results for 2018,” said Winnipeg Football Club President & CEO, Wade Miller. “These results are a testament to the strong support from our fans, season ticket members, and corporate partners. Our team should be proud of our financial results.” Total operating profit was down from 2017 as Investors Group Field saw a much quieter year in 2018 with no concerts or other major events other than the Manitoba Marathon. Total operating revenue reached $33.4 million (an increase of $970,000 over 2017) and is attributable to the Club’s decision to internalize food and beverage operations at Investors Group Field in 2018, thus not only improving the game day experience but also earning 100% of the revenues, less the associated expenses. This was offset by decreases in game revenue which was down $1.4 million (10.5%) as the Club did not host a home playoff game in 2018, and stadium management revenue which was down $1.8M in comparison to 2017. Operating expenses totaled $30.8 million, an increase of $3.4 million over 2017. While the Club continues to invest in its on-field product, overall football operations expenses increased in 2018 by $470,000 as a result of the Club’s success in playing in both the Western Semi-Final and Western Final playoff games. There were expected increases in expenditures in marketing, administration and game day expenses associated with bringing food and beverage into the Club’s internal operations. There was also a decrease in overall stadium occupancy costs of $830,000 as a result of fewer non-football events at Investors Group Field. Consistent with prior years and since the Club moved to Investors Group Field in 2013, the Club alone continues to fund the public transportation program for transit and park and ride services to and from Investors Group Field. The Club has operated the public transportation program since 2013 and has paid for all expenditures related to the program, totalling over $4.6 million. In 2017, Triple B Stadium Inc. formally acknowledged their legal obligation to fund a portion of the public transportation program, retroactive to 2013 and onward. The Club will continue its efforts to recover the payments due from Triple B. The Club recorded a payment to Triple B of $2.7 million based on the Club’s available Excess Cash at December 31, 2018, as defined in and required by the Club’s Management Agreement with Triple B. This is the fifth scheduled annual payment the Club has made to Triple B, fulfilling the Club’s ongoing obligations. Payments will continue over the next four decades based on the Club’s Management Agreement with Triple B that requires the Club to use its best efforts to generate sufficient Excess Cash through the collection of entertainment tax and facility fees to be applied to the annual payments. “Meeting our financial obligations continues to be one of the top priorities of the Winnipeg Football Club.” said Miller.
  10. This is a guy that should never have been gone from our league...
  11. this is amazing........ the Throwin' Samoan returns to the CFL... https://t.co/Yq9qHxd8ru
  12. *waits for TBurg to say we're in cap hell and can't afford to pay 1st round prices*
  13. Binnington is legit good....he made a pile of unreal saves, and several just at the start of Game 3 yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised in the least if he goes back to a .975 or something in G4...
  14. Pretty much as simple as Columbus is out working Tampa badly...
  15. I was thinking the other day that, as a Bombers fan above all else, I won't be super disappointed if the Jets her tossed early cause then there's plenty of time for people to get on the Bombers train...
  16. this... and also *Vilify (a simple right click on that squiggly right line tells you.....) and also *(SIC)
  17. Might be the worst game I've ever seen Helle play. The first goal was beyond awful....and I'm a defender of goalies, generally speaking.
  18. It's hard to imagine now, but we have had some of the greatest receivers in league history over the years... Just an insane depth on our All Time list...
  19. Yeah, the problem is with MBB....lol......
  20. are you sure? I could have sworn he came in and started immediately....
