The Rider fired there entire training staff after Jones first year. I am sure they might be interested in the outcome of this lawsuit as there was a lot of chatter that it was because they wouldn't clear a player to play when Jones wanted him in the lineup and they were then fired the following offseason. Not exactly the same thing, but similar..

I love it. Visited it twenty some years ago on a fishing trip with friends and jumped on a business opportunity in Thompson when it presented itself and moved from Winnipeg and bought a home on Paint Lake. It was a struggle to balance for a few years and eventually I just sold my businesses in Winnipeg but kept the business in Thompson. It s where I met my wife and where my kids went to school. I like to refer to myself as semi-retired because my business is seasonal but I am busy in the summer and able to make a decent living off a seasonal business while enjoying the beautiful Northern Manitoba summer days. Winter sucks though so I still maintain a dwelling in Winnipeg during the offseason.

I am listed as a resident of Thompson Manitoba and my Paint Lake residence is considered my primary residence. The BRHA already includes me and my family in their population planning and its even where my family doctor is. Before you accuse someone of loophole chasing make sure you know all the facts. My Winnipeg residence is just a winter get away from my home in Thompson. I spend all spring/summer/fall in Thompson except to drive out for Bomber games and about half the winter as well going back and forth except for the past 2 months I was in Winnipeg because I was minimizing travel due to Covid. Also, I do plan on leaving 2 weeks before business start up and self isolating when I get there. Further to this, Paint Lake home owners constitute a small population and are counted as full time residents by the BRHA. There is no seasonal cottage industry in Paint Lake/Thompson because of geography.

That's my summer home not a cottage. I have lived there 4 months of the year for the past 20 years and have seasonal business interests nearby that require my attendance and management. Once I am there, I will be staying there and not going back and forth to Winnipeg unless the CFL starts up again with fan attendance. This is not a loophole. I am not a weekend warrior at a cottage.....but thanks for judging.

You betcha...If I have to isolate I can't think of a better spot than sitting at the end of my dock. The only way I don't go is if they shut down highways. Even then I may go by seadoo...lol.

Nah they'll accuse Booch of being a troll and ban him.

But they won't...they'll come up with some convoluted theory about them finishing first in the west last year so they should be awarded the Grey Cup by forfeit while totally ignoring that Winnipeg won the Cup and Hamilton finished with a better record.

In CDs defence he was asked directly about Carter.

I heard a rumor that a group of Riderfans tried to purposely catch the Coronavirus to expedite the process of ending the pandemic. Sadly, they were unable to do so after the virus hit the crossbar.

Read my comments again, I didn't at any point say I hate him I just said he shouldn't be cheered for acting like clown. Man you are really trying hard to press this. Why do you care how I feel about Joe Kapp?

He played for the BC Lions and instigated a fight with Mosca. If you want to hail him for that give her. I think it was a black eye to his character. Both guys acted like clowns. If you want to condone 70 somethings fist fighting go for it...I think it's sad.

All I said is that there are no heroes in this story. Both guys acted incredibly poorly.

Joe Kapp is not exactly someone anyone should cheer for...even against Mosca.

He was yapping how the Bombers have locker room issues and culture problems and that's why they were losing when Nichols went down. Also suggested that the Bombers had a lack of talent on defence and that he was available if they wanted him. Just basically throwing shade on his former team mates and coaches. To a Bomber fan it was clearly sour grapes but he chose to go to Ridernation to spew his propaganda.

Should have lost all his Winnipeg sponsorships after his bone headed comments on Rod Pedersen show this summer. Completely classless display that day.

There are certainly some parks and playgrounds that should be closed. However, the vast majority are just fine. Go out kick a soccer ball or play catch, go fishing, just don't do it on the beaten path.

I completely agree. The politicians need to weigh the risk of infection against the mental health of a nation. Yes places where people tend to congregate in close quarters need to be closed but there is a great deal of outdoor activity that should be considered safe and encouraged. People need this for their well being. This summer I plan on camping and fishing and I'll be choked if government does not allow these activities. Hell....I'll just do them anyway.

This is obscure but it was a regular season game against the Edmonton Eskimos in 1984. The Esks were a dynasty that had stopped some great Bomber teams every year for a decade or so. They seemed unbeatable. It was a show down for supremacy in the West, and we were behind a couple points late in the 4th Q. The D came on strong and forced an Edmonton punt from deep in their own end. I'll never forget Bob's play call..." Hank Ilesic back to punt....ITS BLOCKED...THIS COULD BE A TOUCHDOWN....AND IT IS.." I know...I know...one play in a regular season game from 1984? No man...that was the day we finally turned the corner and proved we could beat the Eskimos in an important game. We went on that year to win the Grey Cup and I think that game was the game that our guys really believed we could win it all and the Bombers dominance of the 80s began.

My advice is to not compare a pandemic to another while its in its infancy.

I agree. Why not err on the side of caution? Is that such a bad thing? As someone with health issues that put me at high risk if I contracted it, I beseech you all to please take this seriously.

If the WHO says it's a pandemic then it's a pandemic. They have the exclusive right to decide that whether anyone likes it or not. They have metrics and forecasting in place and don't make these decisions lightly or to try derail the Trump.

Brown looks like a good prospect. Great legs. He needs to work on shortening his release and he stares down receivers but that's coachable.

That is the most likely scenario imo as well.

I would be shocked if Buck deviated greatly from Lapo's approach to running an offence and play calling. Why would he? This offence has been very successful over the past few years. We will see a ton of Andrew, and a ton of short passes again this year.

Could be I got the timeline wrong. Wasn't memorizing it but it was definitely not 1.5 to 2 years. In fact, a US company named Moderna is organizing a clinical trial for a possible vaccine beginning next month. They are bypassing animal testing on it and so far no regulatory bodies in the US seem like they are going to shut this down.
