  1. Don’t want to self-quote, but would really like an answer if anyone knows.
  2. The Jason Maas from Hamilton to Edmonton for “future considerations” just before Edmonton’s Grey Cup run (2003 I think) was worse. The future considerations was - Jason Maas - at the start of the next season. The penalties for exceeding the salary cap are so inconsequential that it makes more sense to build a championship roster and make extra Grey Cup revenue by cheating than by playing by the rules. I wish the Bombers did it more, and I won’t slag any team that takes advantage of it.
  3. Is that the same for the vaccination passport QR codes? If so, then will need to ensure I have both websites open and am logged in to my Manitoba Health account.
  4. Spoiler alert, there may be more than one choice for the remaining options! By the way, does anyone know how I can input a picture from my own phone camera into the post? I can’t pull up a URL, and just copying and pasting, the process works but the image does not appear in the post.
  5. Elks left LB Vontae Diggs and DE Shawn Lemon off of their final roster. Coach said they were simply outperformed in camp by others.
  6. Would suggest that we do all of the other team’s cuts on the 2021 season page and not here just so we aren’t scrambling around on multiple pages.
  7. So in my Bomber app I go to “tickets” in the main menu and then it let’s me select my Bomber account. When I press on that the events list pops up and I get a list of all the games. When I press the specific game my ticket with the QR code comes up, and that is what they scan. Try that. It also gives you the option to transfer seats or place it in the Apple wallet (the QR code ticket specifically).
  8. Not the point. You have slagged Liram for making the video like he was showboating for personal glory and “running his mouth” with a vanity video of his own design, and then got richly deserved comeuppance with his struggles. Doing the video was not his idea, and it was done to promote the league, not him personally.
  9. Hmm, so many choices, who do I pick today? Surprise!
  10. I don’t think it will either, I am just offering a rationale for why Biden operates the way he does despite you being frustrated with it. And politics as usual will be practiced as long as it works for the politician rather than the public, and the vast majority of the public don’t care enough to demand lasting change. Right now the citizenry who care the most and are screaming the loudest are the Trump Klan - how’s that push for change working out? And it may not be that they think it is good, but rather that it is necessary.
  11. WW2 was an easy sell once Pearl Harbour. No kicking and screaming after that. And before that there was zero desire and Roosevelt did not push to join in. Only when the US’s own interests are threatened do they act. Same with climate change unfortunately. And even though they are dead wrong, the US does not feel that their interests are threatened yet. At least not monetarily.
  12. Upper deck has smaller Bomber store kiosks, 50/50 booths, food vendors and beer/drink stations. You would miss out on a speciality place like Shwarma Khan, but the basic services are there. As for the Rum Hut, if you want to spend the game there, buy an end zone ticket. Again, this is what I was told the “return to play” plan was when I asked months ago and there was no certainty that we would even play again, so they may have loosened restrictions now that they can fill to capacity and ensure that everyone in attendance is double vaxxed.
  13. I also heard talk that they were going to keep people in their “areas”, so upper deck could not walk the main concourse, end zone folk could not go across to the other side, etc. At least that is what the original plan had been. With loosened restrictions that may change.
  14. Remember that Democrats in the USA, even progressives, are more conservative than anything short of the extremists in the Canadian Conservative party. Any attempt to reject Republicans could kill their voter support amongst moderate Republicans or independents, so like it or not conciliation is necessary. The alternative is losing to 75,000,000 Americans who are hard core Trumpists who will always vote for his cause. There are a lot more pure Republicans than pure Democrats in the States when it comes to guaranteed locked in votes.
  15. And Forbert signed with Boston for $9 million over 3 years. So with him and Poolman that’s $5.5 million AAV compared to Chevy getting them both for $1.75 million last year.
  16. The club recommends getting there a bit earlier. Because it is all digital ticketing and passports, they will have one crew scanning tickets and then another scanning passports, so be ready to be efficient with your phone. And get the Bomber app to have your Bomber account ready with your tickets displayed.
  17. One week away! This one’s for Speed. Also gives me a reason not to put Westwood in today. Thankfully the kicker position was already covered off by Medlock, so I can avoid Troy and memories of THAT game.
  18. Don’t ever recall 2 Vezina finalists both switching teams for the next season.
  19. I guess Berdin is now Hellebuyck’s back-up for the big club.
  20. The merge happens within 5 minutes, not 5 seconds. Just do what I do - write all your thoughts in one very long-winded post and wait for the “TLDR” from those irritating, short attention span folk. 😄
  21. And bravo for picking Chuck Ealey for #8. Was juggling the options of Zach Collaros (because Grey Cup), Chris Randle (because “Randle Island” is a great handle), or Reggie Pierson (because great DB in the 1970s-80s, but more so because of this pose in his trading card):
  22. My choice for today (late countdown, was busy, thanks KBF for jumping in):
  23. I guess Heinola has another year in the minors. Does that lengthen the duration of his ELC?
  24. I tend to lean towards TBurg on this. Maybe not that the club is not happy with the receiving crew, but not necessarily satisfied with status quo - nor should they be. Not sure beyond homerism why people think this is a game -breaking deep crew we have. Like TB says, zero thousand yard guys, and in fact not really close to that mark for any of them last year. And not sure why everyone is certain Buck Pierce will suddenly make this offence heavy pass. He has the same personnel and learned at the hands of LaPo, who designed a successful Grey Cup winning ball control offence with the best running back in the CFL. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and any tweaks won’t be that drastic I feel. Not like Collaros was throwing for 450 yards a game either when he arrived.
