The Winnipeg Thread
Shopping malls can be a premium place for renting. I've known a few people who have had stores and kiosks in malls and a place that is desirable (St Vital) is very expensive. Renting a space in a strip mall can be 1/4 of the price.

Restaurant/food thread
Did you not see the video where 2 guys on camera walk in to the convenience store and poured gas and lit the place up. All on camera. Also lol at the cell phone tracing. I'm pretty sure the arsonist isn't going to leave his cell phone number at the scene of the crime for the police to track him.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
MOP a year ago... the whole offense falls completely when he isn't given the touches. NI and local guy and in his prime. You pay him top dollars no questions asked. If you need money maybe save on overspending on import guys who are injury prone (i.e. Schoen/Strev).

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
Willie has a role... but the problem is that every season he acts as his own agent and believes that he is the #1 guy in the league. The drop off this season was considerable and I don't think him taking a hair cut on a deal is going to work. Some other team will offer him beaucoup dollars. I'm just hoping that we have fresh blood as an OC (someone who at least has a positive track record and not a complete unknown) and no more C level guys being signed to sit on a bench. We need 2 - 3 difference makers.

Restaurant/food thread
Downtown is completely full of meth heads everywhere. It doesn't mean they are the ones starting fires. Usually the meth heads start fires in encampments that get out of control. Plus they have video of that one convenience store where two guys came in with gas canistars and lit the place up.

What is going on this city, is their some kind of mafia that is hitting on places that are not paying up? Several convenience stores and now a few restaurants... all non chain places.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
I want to say a few years back O'Shea addressed on why he doesn't play guys in their first year. I can't remember the exact reason but it is intentional on his part. I want to say something about shielding them or having them learn from the sidelines.

Permission to talk: Is O'Shea leaving?
I think the issue is that we are going on 3 years of waiting for O'Shea to correct his mistakes and it feels like he is doubling down on them instead. I'm perfectly ok with giving him more time with us, but I'm heavily skeptical because we have trended downwards over this time with no signs of change.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
I bolded the guys that I would like to see come back. A good year for a big turnover of players (preferably younger guys). Brady, Holm, Demski, Nichols are all guys that they really need not cheap out on. Cutting old guards like Bryant, Jefferson, and Neufeld should give them some good play money to spend come free agency.

I hear Bill and his girlfriend might be available soon , maybe she can fill in as OC while Bill is HC and GM

CFL East Division Final: Montreal @ Hamilton
I kind of feel bad for TI-Cats fans for having such a long drought.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
I was bummed mid way through the season when I realized that this team wasn't going to make it.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
Hosting the Western Finals have we never had a sell out during our last run?

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
This is what is available now (late Friday night) as per ticketmaster. Kind of crazy that they can't get a sell out with the #1 team.

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
In the CFL a full team can be fixed within 1 season. When a team lacks in only a few areas then it is much easier.

2025 CFL (Non-Bombers) Season
Maybe he moves on from Crum and then we sign him to replace Strev?

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
So what if they keep Hogan + O'Shea? Do we write off next season or give them at least one more chance?

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
It would have been nice to give Eli (and many other guys) play time to see if they could shake off rust and end up being a better player. The largest issue this club has is the refusal of giving guys a chance. I don't accept that they purely evaluate based on practices. This is the same club a few years back who refused to give starters play time during the pre season which ended up having guys struggling for the first month come regular season.

Upcoming Movies
Mummy 4 may be in the works. I'm surprised that they didn't continue the series years ago. Same with National Treasure... those movies were a lot of fun.

The Fight Thread
CTE + rampant use of Meth in Hawaii. Tony Ferguson will be the next guy with this wrap sheet....

Blue Bombers - 2025 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
The answers are obvious... but it's not like we only need to replace JT and things will be instantly better. I'd imagine we have like 10 starters that we need to move on from and like 75% of our "depth players" need to be replaced. This team needs a lot of new faces and new energy. Our depth has been really poor the last 2 seasons.

Walters was the guy that extended Zach for big bucks... I'm 50/50 on him.

Bombers @ Birds: ESF GDT
Damn I have been so disinterested in this club this year that I forgot they were playing and missed the game. This club needs to fire Hogan and sign minimum 4 starters in free agency for next season. If this doesn't happen then I can't imagine this club getting any better.
