2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
Brandon replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I have a feeling that the Riders grab Caleb Evans and then watch the fans pretend like it's the steal of free agency. -
Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
Brandon replied to Wideleft's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Watch Walters bring back Demski and then also Harris/Evans for back up and the Riders absolutely lose it. -
I cannot rationalize Bobby Hull being a good guy purely because he helped bring the Jets and NHL to town. I'm wired differently in that I can never give anyone a pass for beating and apparently nearly killing a woman he supposedly loved and even worse the mother of his children. I cringe for the day when OJ Simpson dies and when you rationalize what he did (allegedly) because he was a great football player and how it's only human nature to be jealous and that because he was on drugs it wasn't his fault.

I'm not sure why anyone would make excuses or try to use alcholism as an excuse for the guys life time of terrible behaviour. If anything I'd say Bobby Hull suffered from extreme forms of narcissism similar to a Peter Nygard where he would think that he is invincible and can do anything because he is above everyone else. If Bobby Hull was a regular 9-5 worker he would of been tossed into jail and nobody would revere him. His great hockey play is what gives him a minor pass for some people who don't want to think of their idol as being a scum bag. Hull - A+ hockey player, F level human being. RIP to his hockey legacy but I have zero respect for the guy as a human being and won't shed a tear for him at all.

So everyone is suppose to ignore the fact that he had zero quality on his o-line and never addressed it for the whole season. -

Will security be able to do anything if a problem occurs. I don't think a stern "Please don't do this" will do anything if a drunk/drugged person is on the bus harassing people.
-
Today I learned that if you have a cart full of toys and walk out of Toys'R'Us , security will do nothing at all. I also learned that toys at Toys'R'Us are insanely expensive and it's almost at a point that it makes sense to just walk out with not paying. $60 dollars for a cheap plastic car, $40 for a plush, $130 for a Batmobile!!!

Is this a bad time to tell that in Winnipeg when VIP's are visiting that they also have snipers lined up. This isn't anything new.
-
I have not tried Colin's house but will add that to the list thank you for the recommendation. I have gone to Drifters in Lac Du Bonnet and from the outside it doesn't look nice but the inside looks new and the food was really good. The only other restaurant in that area of Manitoba that I've gone multiple time is the Hillside Beach eatery (near Grand Beach), the pizza is ridiculously good on a nice hot summer day. Well worth the travel and visit.

Toronto will find a way to sign him -
Tip... frozen fries in a deep fryer is real good or an air fryer does a decent job of replicating it. Frozen fries on a cookie sheet in a regular oven = sad panda.
-
Bistro fries... probably because I enjoy the dip with the sweet chili sauce? I didn't realize they were costco fries I thought they were home made? Desserts at Roxies are also top notch, our usual routine involves buying a few squares of whatever and taking them home. Then going to upper crust bakery (2 minutes away) getting cinammon buns and the apple cinammon bread and whatever else and taking that home. All really good stuff.
-
And this is my point, these restaurants are far better options then going to McDonalds. At Roxy's I've never been able to eat the full meal in one sitting. I like getting the pulled pork + jalapeno sandwich with the bistro fries and that alone I can usually make it into 2 - 3 meals which makes the price even more attractive.

I never said they would disappear completely, I said that they will have trouble staying in business as the older crowd is what currently supports them and as the current youth grows older they won't be eating at a "Perkins" or "Sals" where they serve super mediocre food. To entertain you I'll show you where we go (we live in NK/T-Cona) Instead of Perkins/Sals we go to Jonseys in East St Paul or Roxy's in Selkirk Instead of McDonalds we go to Fatburger Instead of Taco Bell/Taco Time we go to BNC Taquiera and Burrito Splendido Instead of Tim Hortons we go to Grand Donuts Our kids enjoy going to Phuong Nam, Sushi (anywhere), older kid likes Magic Thailand, Shagun Sweets (East Indian) , Ramallah , Bubble Tea, etc... When I'm going for food without the kids with co workers or my wife then the options really open up and I can list 100 restaurants that are superior. At no point in my life when I've been out with other adults have I ever heard anyone say "Lets go to Sals for some cole slaw and hamburgers!". The options people have these days as compared to say when I was a kid in the late 80's is significantly larger and nowdays we have far more access to many varieties of different foods from different cultures. I don't understand the misconception that every non-chain restaurant is super expensive, in fact I find that many of the places we go are cheaper and also offer better quality. Long gone are the days where you can go to a crappy place like McDonalds and pay only half as much as anywhere else. To the person who brought up tide pods for whatever reason or the other grumpy old people , you guys remind me of this clip:

What's with all the weird comments? Super bizarre?

The Cowboys get stuffed with just under 3 minutes left on the clock, they waste 20+ seconds sending the Punt Team out to punt the ball. They burn all of their timeouts stopping the 49ers and get the ball back deep in their end with only a minute and change. Dak nearly gets sacked in the endzone for a safety, dinks and dunks and doesn't take a single shot down field. With 10 seconds left they run this play where Elliott snaps the ball to Dak with nobody blocking:
-
Lol why are you so mad this is a very bizarre and odd rant you made? I was going to suggest maybe look into how in these days how people are far more health conscious and how fast food/generic chain restaurants are on the down swing. Kids these days have grown up with higher standards so therefore they gravitate towards places that offer fresh products. Even in the fast food industry Subway surpassed McD's many years ago and that's why McD's pivoted towards the coffee crowd.
-
Most definitely, gone are the days where McD's and Burger King and greasy spoons ruled the day. Quality over quantity is far more important these days.
-
I do have to chuckle at the the poor time management by Dallas and the fear of throwing a deep bomb on that last drive. That ending with the terrible final play was just sad.

As opposed to the generation that created jello salads, cheeze whiz, hamburger helper, spam, and so many other great food items.

I've been a few times to the Regent location because my Mom enjoys mediocre old people restaurants. I found it slightly better then Perkins and Smitty's which isn't saying much. I think as the population ages out that these breakfast/diner places (Sals/Smittys/Perkins/R&R) which serves frozen then re-heated, pre package, non homemade dishes will suffer as the younger generation are more accustomed to higher quality meals.
