  1. Just comparing on field not off. Cornelius seems to be much more emotionally stable.
  2. Corny, could become a really good QB if he can get some accuracy in his throws. He runs well, makes decent reads, has a great arm....just the accuracy thing. He is kind of like Cody Fajardo with a better arm.
  3. LOL. Hyperbole much. I agree. I thought is was stupid when this all started back in the Al Gore days, and now it seems even more ridiculous each time it is trotted out. It is nothing but fearmongering of the democratic process by sore losers.
  4. With the kids, and an otherwise busy life, I just finished BTOW after only 6 years...lol. Picking up Tears of the Kingdom today for my Switch....I'm good until next decade.
  5. The issue on this isn't that MOS with held info, or that the press couldn't get the info, the issue is that some here felt entitled to that info and were criticizing that they didn't have it. I suspected we will get something along those lines about Grant, even if this might just be a paper move. If MOS doesn't give reporters that much, I would say it is very safe to assume this is just a paper move to get to 75 because there is still two guys in camp they want another day or two to decide between.
  6. It is all about how MOS handles it, but that's not the issue. The issue is that some fans want more access to players personal information than we should realistically expect. I expect that MOS will comment on Grant's suspension but we are not going to get the reason why, nor should we expect to. He will tell us if/when he expects Grant back and that's good enough for me.
  7. Nah...I'm sure our talent is fine. You have to watch in order to form an opinion though, and the local media huddles up and shoots the breeze instead of watching. Last year not one media guy was discussing Schoen until the final few days of camp.
  8. MOS is not going to talk about in house business. It's just that simple and people need to get over that.
  9. If it wasn't for DTon and a couple tweets a day from Bauming we would be getting nothing from the mainstream media.
  10. Exactly. We heard more from the press in updates when MOS jr was having coffee than we have heard in the entire camp about other young up and comers. Same thing last year. We never heard a thing about Dalton Schoen impressing until late into camp. We used to get daily articles that told us who was looking good/bad/mediocre/old etc along with camp stars of the day not too many years ago. Now we are scouring the bowels of the internet only to find out MOS jr. almost caught a ball.
  11. It's not OSH getting a pass on this site, It's understanding that a big part of why players love him, want to come here, and choose to stay is that he keeps things in house. His cone of silence is locker room management and it is 100% the right approach. It's nobody sharing information of a personal or in house nature in our entire organization and that is exactly how the players love it, and one of the reasons they love our franchise.
  12. I have zero concerns about either. Bighill is just getting vet treatment, and Grant is a beast that will likely be back in a day or two. Most likely a personal matter, or a paper move to make the cut down.
  13. I would bet big money that he had some personal issues he had to deal with....and before anyone reads too much into that, I am not suggesting it is a negative matter. Who knows? Death in the family, a child's milestone to attend, legal matters....could be anything really. At this point and time Grant has nothing to prove, comes back to us year after year on team friendly contracts....this is more than likely a big nothing burger. I'm not seeing any issue. Lack of coverage from reporters was the bellyache, not lack of news. I don't mind MOS not revealing personal matters of his squad, but I did complain that we haven't heard much in the way of rookie camp/TC player reports. Nobody telling us who is looking good/bad. Don't need MOS to be an open book for that.
  14. It is not their job to inform. It is their job to run a poll. Whether you like it or not uninformed voters make up the majority of all votes cast in every election. It does correlate.
  15. He was OK....nothing special...we did use our RB quite a bit that game to help him out. I know he was not starter for most of their season and I realize he has not played a full season since 2018....yet I would still rather have him then Evans. He is a veteran journeyman that is best suited to emergency backup status. He's passable...but not particularly good. This is pretty surprising. I would love to hear why they released him before adding him to my wish list though.
  16. If by pylon you mean rarely played and sat on the PR, and wasn't even our best IMP OT on the PR....then yeah. If you mean playing? No...he wasn't a pylon for us...he was a pylon with the ALs I believe.
  17. They should create a coaches challenge for this and let the team police themselves. LOL. JK.
  18. OUCH!! Trudeau is plummeting. https://abacusdata.ca/canadian-politics-polling-abacus-data-may-2023-2/
  19. Manitoba Liquor stores run on a legislated 14% mark up, the same mark up that private enterprise liquor/beer/coolers run on. I have been in the liquor game for almost 30 years, have owned several vendors and can tell you that it has ALWAYS been between 11-14% to the retailer the rest to the MLCC. We have legislated price control in Manitoba. The most that the MLCC stores can make is 14% mark up because they sell at the same price as private enterprise. They show the synnovial tax in their mark up, however that is not the % lost to the MLCC at all if private liquor outlets were in place. The difference is 14% that would go to the private retailer the rest is retained by MLCC no matter who sells it., Furthermore, currently in Manitoba there are 63 MLCC outlets and 168 private liquor outlets. Currently the MLGC has seen record profits on alcohol, mainly through increased taxation and increased sales. Absolutely wrong. You guys have no idea what your are reading.
  20. The mark up is including the synnovial tax.
  21. You are not alone in the confusion but realistically we don't have any scrub NAT starters. I mean we could potentially see Woli and Fatboi losing some reps but really who else? I don't think this changes much for us in roster construction other than a little more freedom in replacing injured NAT starters and a little more pressure on the rookies as vet status is a lot more valuable now. In a saw off of talent the vet now has the upper hand.
  22. For sure. Biggie is a manimal. His conditioning is superb, and he will only need the last week of camp to knock the offseason rust off.
  23. Probably doesn't hurt any coaches chances of getting carried if they weigh a buck fifty soaking wet...lmao.
  24. Partly, for sure. We have no fringe receiver spots available. Biggie will be getting a ton of days off. We need him fresh and ready for the season. It would be irresponsible of coaching and management to work him hard in TC. He literally has nothing to prove and why risk injury.
