2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
Brandon replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I think Stanback is completely shot, he's not the same guy as he was 3 - 4 years ago. That is a big drop off. -
I assume they didn't know before signing the lease, sometimes the process takes over a year before builds are commenced. I looked at the the Press'D web page for the other location, you are correct those sandwiches look underwhelming. Not as nice as Cha-chi's and more like a fancier version of the sandwiches you can get at a gas station.

Utah is booming with lots of people with money moving away from California to Salt Lake City. Lots of disposable income in SLC so it makes sense that they'd jump ahead and get a franchise.

Can we have a commish that isn't 100 years old. -
He already did.. the balls of the guy to make a book saying "if I did it".... That guy was scum and had they not had the Rodney King stuff a few years before then OJ would of certainly went to jail for the murders.

Definition of throw the books - informal: to punish (someone) as severely as possible The term doesn't necessarily need to be used in context as a criminal matter. Are you not familiar with how message boards work and how people voice their opinions? Did you want to write down a list of what you want to read so that everyone can follow a template? To dumb it down since you can't comprehend, I said Chad is an idiot , but being an idiot shouldn't equal him being severely punished either by the league or legally or anywhere based on what has been presented so far. -

Chad sounds like the stereotypically "Chad". That being said as annoying and stupid as he is, I don't see enough based on what is written in the article to throw the books at the guy. Sounds like a cocky athlete with a bruised ego who threw a hissy fit. While embarrassing , it's not criminal. -
My attitude of having concern of the sharp increase of crime and violent crimes? Was it that I provided facts that you cannot dispute? That's a weird take?

As of 2022 - Winnipeg has the highest rate of homicides and by a large margin compared to the other large cities in Canada. Also Winnipeg/Manitoba has seen the largest increase in crimes once again by a much larger margin compared to the other provinces. I'd say it's been a noticeable change in recent years. I also wouldn't compare us to the States since it's not an apples to apples comparison. Homicide numbers: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/231129/t003b-eng.htm

You are not missing out on anything. We used to buy lunch mates and similar things for our daughter for lunches and then realized they taste awful, heavily processed, and are over priced. It's much better and cheaper to just buy real meat and cheese and DIY.

Very interesting interview, he confirms that AEW is a mess and opens up about what happened with him.

Is this a bad time to say that Hollywood has been doing this since the beginning? It was worse in the 30's - 50's where they pilled up young girls and did unimaginable things with them. Read about the Wizard of Oz and what they did with Judy Garland it's insane. Same with the music industry. look at people like Steven Tyler in the old days taking a 14 year old on tour with him and yet people never really gave a crap this many years later. Nearly every place of entertainment has some sort of black cloud covering it. Sadly money hides lots of horrible behaviours.

Game 71 : @ It Will All Come Out In The WASH
Brandon replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Doesn't this happen with this team nearly every year though? -
Hey I complimented Selkirk and Gimli They are both very lovely places to spend an afternoon at!

We went to the Childrens Museum a few weekends ago with other couples and children and outside of the Forks area was still sketchy. Homeless camps and questionable people wandering around that I wouldn't feel safe. Within the Forks it was very busy and a nice mix of all ages and types of people. The food court is really good at the Forks , above average offerings and it's a decent atmosphere. Was only accosted by one methed out dude but thankfully he wasn't aggressive. Talking with the other parents they hadn't been to the Forks in a long while because of the safety concerns from the frequent attacks and were all perhaps reconsidering since this visit wasn't all that terrible. The next day I get sent this link: https://globalnews.ca/news/10354158/teens-arrested-charged-altercation-security-forks-market-winnipeg-police/ Missed the incident by only 30 minutes, but once again re-affirmed why the area sucks and even more reason why I won't be bringing my family back at the Forks anytime soon. As for your comment, I have several friends and even myself at one point who had moved away and then either misremember Winnipeg or see it through nostalgia-glasses... but they all romanticize coming back to the Peg. Usually it goes away after coming back for a few weeks and the honeymoon period wears off. Fishing at the Forks in theory makes perfect sense... unfortunately the more likely result will be trying it out and getting tired of always looking over your shoulder and never being able to relax and you ending up with everyone else going to lockport , Selkirk, or Gimli where you can relax and have a nice safe and peaceful fishing experience.

That would be an extreme exaggeration. A more accurate description would be "after many years of nothing, the area is slowly seeing some movement in development". The only areas that are booming are the burbs closer to the perimeter where a crap tonne of development is still being done and I have no idea who are buying up all those condos and townhouses.
-
The idea makes sense... unfortunately the area has had a drastic increase in violent crimes so I'm not sure if the desire for folks wanting to move in that area is all that high.

This is an insane take. Have you never heard of Chris Benoit? I've met several people (mostly wrestlers) and MMA/Kickboxers with CTE and it is very obvious that some of them cannot process or think properly and have something very off with them. I've also visited nearly every reserve in Manitoba numerous times and what you are saying is something completely different. Some reserves are fantastic and others remind me of the original Mad Max movies. For the bad ones usually it has rampant corruption within the reserve where they maintain terrible traditions or behaviours such as pimping out girls when they are 8 years old to friends/family, lots of alchoal and abuse, lots of extreme neglect, all while the bad people are protected by the elders. Lots of suicides are a result from extreme depression and extreme abuse without being able to escape because everything is covered up. MMIWG exists because nearly every case is someone within the reserve committing the crime with others covering for each other. It's really sad. Suicides in reserves are primarily with younger people , I remember 5 or so years ago visiting a reserve where they had an epidemic where 20+ teens committed suicide over the course of one summer. Naturally the news never covered it. Usually for the people who can escape these places and find success in life do not commit suicide when they are 50+. It seems far more plausible that CTE would be the reason. Many times it is a vicious cycle where someone is in extreme pain from the CTE so they take drugs and the cycle continues to a point where they are so messed that they usually OD.

Nolan already denied doing the next one, he wants to do films with more creative freedom.

CTE?
