After nearly 20 years, I've found it's best to smile and nod until he finds something else to catch his ire....

People might scoff at this, but if this gets young kids into the game, this will create the next generation of fans...........in theory........

spent a lot of time at both Skinner's and Fun Mountain when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s.......so much fun. West Ed water park is OUTSTANDING....best I've ever seen. Winnipeg could definitely use an indoor water park. Every city wants more young families, and young families want water parks.

...It feels like a negative week in Bombersland, with Westerman and Thorpe news.......we need something really positive, and it's a 9th win tomorrow night!

...but about that passport....

more info, via Ted Wyman:

As per depth chart, Santos L Halper gets the start again this week with Knox backing him up........so there's that!

Would be a real shame if Poop was sidelined in all this....IMO, really need him in that DL rotation...

lol....Kives......went to CBC.....

the whole "starting" thing really doesn't matter that much because there's going to be such a distribution of reps throughout the game....all those guys are going to see a lot of time.

When I read Rich's OP, I cringed thinking about Broadbeck......

Not a ton of change to the starting line up tomorrow...even with Thomas "starting" and Ekakatie backing him up, we'll still get a steady rotation with Poop and Nevis.....

Congratulations Fish!!!

As concerned as some of us were about a change in tone for Taits pieces, he's really writing the exact same stuff as he always did...

I am a lifelong WFP subscriber (when I was in Manitoba) and had a paper route with them in Pinawa when I was a kid...was my first job. I was EXCEEDINGLY loyal to them for a lot of years. Up until the last couple years, one of the things I looked forward to most when coming home from AB was being able to read a physical copy of the WFP. Now........not so much.

I don't normally do this, but wow......the most epic butthurt of all time........ https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/columnists/blue-bombers-run-fake-plays-off-the-field-too-446207423.html Some days, a column idea grabs you by the throat. Other days, a lot of column ideas grab you by the throat. This was the second kind of day: It was hard not to laugh this week at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers touting their big website "exclusive" on the news defensive end Jamaal Westerman was done for the season. Barely an hour after head coach Mike O’Shea told reporters Tuesday — with a straight face — that it still wasn’t clear how serious Westerman’s injury was or even if it was upper body or lower body, the club announced on its website that Westerman was done for the season via an "exclusive" that included quotes from Westerman, who was declared off limits to the real reporters on Tuesday because he was injured. Now, I suppose it’s possible that in the space of one hour, the club fully diagnosed Westerman’s injury, confirmed it was season-ending, interviewed the player and then wrote a pseudo-story and posted it on its website. But more likely, O’Shea already knew exactly what was wrong with Westerman and that he was done for the season even as he was claiming the opposite to reporters, presumably to preserve his team’s big "exclusive" an hour later. And so it goes in an age when pro sports teams everywhere are increasingly trying to pass off team propaganda as news — and massage any bad news with their own spin before they let the legit reporters take over. Fake reporters doing fake news — available at a team website near you.

If there is one thing MOS prizes above all else, it's ones ability to be a good teammate. I don't imagine he tolerates whiners well. Also probably a big reason he's not interested in Bass, who walked out on Ottawa.

I honestly don't think a whole lot will change on the line...just one less body rotating in, probably.

Bauming says nothing wildly different about the Bombers DL....same guys, minus Westerman. Thomas to "start" to fix the ratio......Jeffcoat and Ogopogo on either end, likely...

Brief scrap at practice between Spooner and Ogopogo, apparently....(says Bauming).....Westerman very involved in practice today, in a jersey and gloves....

lol....eeeeasy now, David.......

maybe it's the lack of posting, so it seems worse, but I feel like every time you post, it's something negative about how the team is setting up the roster......

In fairness, you've been exhaustingly negative lately about the management team.....there's a yin and yang around here...
