I wonder who takes over the franchise?

Holy fawk what a shitting of the bed... worse then the Bomber one last week! Masoli suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Why do we play teams when they are read hot and Riders get the gimmies?

Hamilton has made so many mental errors... so many ill timed penalties like this last one... the drop kick... couple of big blown plays. After this game we can stop talking about Masoli being up top with Reilly and Mitchell.

At least he doesn't call a drop kick call despite the opposition offense being dead and a punt pinning the opposition deep in their own end....

Not really... Hamilton has been absolutely brutal. That drop kick call was the worst idea and if O'Shea did that everyone would call for his head. Absolutely turned the game on that brain dead call. Masoli is playing scared and Hamilton's defense is exhausted and showing it. Crazy that Riders will be ahead of us in the standings despite still having a shitty offense.

Lol I like the Jones comment of comparing his QB system with what Reilly and Lynch had a few years back. Hilarious stuff.....

I'd like the full story... I never believe anything from cbc since they love to alter the truth to put on the racist angle.

Bingo... Masoli also shakey as he can't handle the pressure well.

Delete please and thanks

So we completely inconvenience tens of thousands of people to make life easier for maybe 10 people a day to cross an intersection. Come on now. Weak weak argument. If that is the best you can find then close the thread because that is turrible. Why not bring up how windy and cold it is during winter and how for 7 months of the year people won't be crossing.

We will disagree with what creates growth downtown. #1 not even close to anything else which is killing downtown is the safety issue. You mention women being unsafe underground. Nearly everyone feels unsafe after 6 above ground. Opening the intersection won't drive away the bad apples.

I'm not sure about the last year but his second season he definitely had off ice issues like Kane. I have full faith that the Jets will make the right decision down the road. Trouba wants max money because why wouldn't he wants max money. He's not a loser or a scum bucket for asking for the moon. He's watched a lot of pawn Stars and knows to ask for the moon knowing that they will settle for a better deal in the end.

No one called you a troll. I suggested you were trolling when you completely ignored my valid points that most people have against the idea. I love to banter and rant but at least when I'm proven wrong I can at least admit that I don't know everything. It would help you to be to be humble and admit that you can be wrong. It will help prevent yourself from digging a deeper hole. Back to topic on hand. If money wasn't a factor and I had all the power in the world. I would make Broadway the must be place for locals and tourists. The layout is better, much more area for walking around. I would even entertain closing it off and making it something similar to Sparks street in Ottawa with big patios and lots of restaurants and bars.

Also Bowman didn't run using the p & m as his main platform. He won because he smiled and people trusted him more then an incompetent lady.

I don't think you understand how the time works. My drive will be increased 15 minutes easily. The 50 seconds only applies if you hit every green with zero traffic on the road and then only hit the red light at P &M. How many disabled people cross P&M a day? How many drivers cross? You want to convenience maybe a fraction of a percent of people to inconvenience 20000 vehicles. It's a huge deal for me to drive an extra 15 - 30 minutes a day when I have family and responsibilities to get to. It's not NIMBY it's more practical. You need to look at the situation with an open mind and also realize that you are not like most of the general public.

Stfu anyone saying Lapo needs to go or sucks. If he were to be fired nearly every team would call him instantly to be the oc or HC

if Hamilton destroys them...with another poor showing by the offense. Will they fire McAdoo?

15 minute delay on a good day, on a bad day you're looking at way way longer. It's ok to be wrong and it will all be a distant memory once the elections are done. You are claiming that you are correct and the experts the city paid are wrong... That's silly. I'm not a fan of Bowman for the most part but it's nice that he finally put his ego aside. Now his next step will be to stop trying to cater to the people who claim the citizens are all racists. It's almost a guarantee that he will win now so maybe he can focus on more relevant issues.

Radio hosts are a dime a dozen... The guy will have a nice career selling cars in his future...

It wouldn't be 50 seconds ... More like 15 minutes. When traffic is gridlocked it effects all the lights behind it. You have to compound it all the way down Portage. When a dinkhead bus driver decides to run the red and turns left onto Portage and ends up blocking all three lanes causing everyone to miss a light. This alone adds five minutes to my commute and this happens all of the time. The only people who think opening it up will bring life to downtown are all dreamers. The same people who thought that Portage Place was the saviour for downtown. Saying the mass is uneducated is silly. The minority are merely trying to outsmart themselves. Comparing Winnipeg to other cities is ridiculous. Unless the city somehow finds 100s of millions of dollars to completely redesign downtown , the whole idea of it being like a times square is ridiculous. Experts that the city paid to do studies showed that it's a bad idea. They even paid a different company to seek a different answer. As I said before it's ok to be wrong sometimes unknown poster.

If the league was so picky about character then how do they allow the Riders to sign half of their roster....

87% against opening it... most other polls have had it closer to 95%

Other cities have freeways and multiple routes to get around town. Winnipeg only has 1. As I stated before if one car stalls it absolutely kills the drive home and this isn't a debate as I experience it over and over again coming home from work. Adding a 30- 45 second walking light for pedestrians would be an absolute killer. It's bad enough as it is right now and if anything the city should focus on finding ways to get through downtown faster. The only logical explanation for your posts is that you are attempting to troll?

I haven't watched Bowman play so I'm not sure if it's the play selection or him giving up on routes or if the QB is just not looking his way. They *should* have some quick outs designed for him that they can go to early in games. I'd give the guy a few more games and if he's still not producing then bring in the next guy for a look.

You've yet to hear a reasonable argument? Have you not read anything posted on social media, reddit, comment sections in papers? Nearly everyone is against opening up the intersection. If you want a reasonable argument the easiest and most vital issue is opening up the intersection will absolutely kill traffic flow during rush hours. Unlike other cities we don't have a proper infrastructure of getting people from one end to the other without hitting dozens of lights. For myself my commute absolutely requires for me to go through downtown and whenever a car stalls or any sort of even minor road repairs absolutely cripples the commute and it can take me up to 90 minutes to get home. Another reasonable argument is safety, it's bad enough avoiding the "riff raff" going down Portage who jump between cars or jaywalk during green lights. Another reasonable argument is the idea of having patios and people hanging out at that intersection is laughable... the wind frequently is way to strong to sit down and enjoy anything. I have to close my car windows so that my parking pass and anything in my car doesn't blow away... I can't imagine trying to eat and drink with that wind. Lots of reasons to keep it close. The idea that opening it will bring tourists or increase the popularity of downtown because it will be a gateway between the forks and Portage is such a far fetched dream it's ridiculous. Instead of investing millions in a pipe dream... why not focus on doing something that *may* actual increase downtown popularity such as banning pan handling, stronger enforcement on drunks wandering around, close down Portage Place ASAP and change it into something else that doesn't have a food court, increase police presence etc.... The whole idea of opening the intersection is purely Bowman wanting to leave his legacy and all reports have shown it has been a bad idea and it's obvious on why he's trying to keep everything hidden from the public because if their was transparency he would of been absolutely blasted by all the voters for such a poor idea. Bowman won because Judy was a moron , the guy had the friendly looking smile (didnt' look like a con man like Katz) and people were duped into thinking he was a good guy. Sadly nobody of any merit is running against him this election so he may win out of best out of the worst. If Browaty had decided to run for Mayor he would of won by a massive land slide... he actually has a track record of doing positive things for the community and the people. He actually has trust from his voters.
