  1. The concern for me is precedent.....it's a slippery slope once we start becoming less focused on Canada and OUR league. I didn't like it when we started focusing on America in the 90s and I don't like focusing on Mexico now. The idea of mandating a Mexican player on each roster makes my stomach turn. Not because I have anything against Mexico, but because I want this to remain OUR league, and the sole focus be about Canada and OUR game. I've long been a proponent of increasing mandatory Canadians when most would prefer to see more Americans. I personally watch CFL because of the CanCon...I want to see us put a greater focus on our country and our players.
  2. You can't put a ******* gun to the guy's head. His speech REALLY sounded like "Smell Ya Later..." so I'm preparing for this to be the only season we have him. Time to start thinking about Wilson or Knox in the middle next year.
  3. Last I heard, he was also a regular at CurlingZone.com, contributing the same level of "intellect" to his posts.....
  4. I've had more fun watching the Bombers the last few years than I've had since the 2001-era team. All I can ask for, as a fan, is entertaining football game in, game out. MOS, for one, has a Job 4 Life with WBBFC, as far as I'm concerned...
  5. Schille and Kidby have been kicked out of at least one Sask Provincials for similar conduct (not necessarily drunk, but raging angry and abuse of officials), and Koe is notorious for his drinking, and even promotes his "legend" via his Twitter account. Fry, I think, is just a moron. There are some sketchy stories from his time skipping teams on the MCT circuit in the early 2000s. All of this is to say that none of it is even the least bit surprising, but extremely sad for Fry, who is not only an Olympian, but a MAJOR spokesperson for the World Curling Tour, the Canadian Curling Association, and all of their major sponsors (including Pinty's, where he's quite literally a poster boy). I've done a LOT of stupid **** at curling bonspiels over the years....but I can't even comprehend this.
  6. I get that everyone is still angry (I'm physically ill thinking about it...) but Matt Nichols has earned the benefit of the doubt. What he's accomplished as a Bomber, and especially how he rebounded after the Banjo Bowl, he's more than earned the right to come into next year as the starter. I expect big things from him out of the gate next year. Nichols play doesn't concern me......Lapo's playcalling, however......
  7. the buzz from insiders about a month ago was that Manny Arceneaux was for sure going to be a Bomber next summer, but I'm not sure I want him anymore. 2011 Manny Show, maybe.....
  8. The whole "Wolly" thing is too easy.......so we decided that because Wolitarsky is so much like Wooganowsky, we'd call him "Woogie".......
  9. I'm really only here to lurk, but blocking him and iHeart is the best thing I ever did, and basically the only way I can tolerate this site...
  10. Calgary Forecast
  11. We'll have a crew there. We have an in on tix so we'll be there come hell or high water. For now, forecast is nice. +5 or better next Sun....
  12. Just shut up and sing the damn song, pal...
  13. Well.... One year, anyhow.
  14. It's been well documented that I'm strictly a lurker these days, but I just wanted to mention that having this ****** canoe and iHeart (the single worst poster on this website) on "ignore" is basically the only way I can even come here to read. Thank Christ and everything holy for the ignore function......alright. I'm out.
  15. I just wanted to pop on here quickly and let you know there IS help for that. You really don't have to live this way. I've spent the last couple months in a deep dive into mental illness, depression and anxiety. There's meds and there's therapy....and it WORKS....trust me. You don't have to live that way.... Carry on...
  16. I don't contribute here anymore but I'm going to say this: Threads themselves aren't the problem... The people who create them are the problem.
  17. I'm thinking Little is either playing hurt or never fully recovered from last year. The difference from last year to this seems quite large...
  18. Classic Jets early game. What a bag of crap...
  19. @TrueBlue better ask Wade about that....
