You're right on with the 'urban decay' comment....Every big city is suffering from it in some form....I find the bigger the city....the bigger the problems...it only follows...Winnipeg was , in the railway hey day, the third largest city in Canada....When the railway went to pot, the city followed...in some instances...I still luv the place because I was born there....still have most of my family and friends there...I now live in retirement in one of the most desired places in Canada BUT even here there are problems bordering on 'big city' probs....

The 'Big Smoke' (T.O.)..sure as hell is no panacea of places to visit....There's certain parts of that city I wouldn't walk around in at night...and if you think the Peg is bad, you should have a look at that....Toronto is suffering the same 'american big city' woes ....and everything that goes with that....I have relatives that live there and the're constantly complaining about ...traffic, shootings and the surge of immigrants sleeping in their downtown core....No T.O. is not Wpg. and I'm sure glad that it isn't

Charlie always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder....Might have served him well because that's how he played...with a lot of success I might add...I know he had a few run ins with management and he probably wouldn't fit the fifo mold of today...Sometime he looked like he didn't give a crap when they got a shot of him on the bench on occasion....That's when he'd come in and rip off a 30-40 yard run making the opposition look foolish...Luv'd the guy

Yeah I remember that comment by the 'hamburgler'....He picked that name up when he was a 100 pounds over weight and stuffing down 'rotten ronnie's' big burgers...He does seem like a changed man though

...yeah and I believe he started his comments with the Streve signing....and he's right

.....Trading him to the leo's, where he finished up with a torn achilles, was not the way I would've like to have seen Charlie go out....I think his heart left the game after he left Wpg. and it was just a matter of time until the inevitable....the injury just moved it along a little faster....I rank him along with Leo Lewis as the best this club has ever seen, and even with his smoking and offfield antics,that doesn't change for this fan

Never should have lost them...We were the superior team....just not on that day...All kinds of factors go into that, and that has been discussed over and over again , like we're on a never ending search for what went wrong...I think we have a good idea why we didn't notch that last one, and it seems we actually maybe on the way to correcting things..................................hopefully

Yeah it seems like Jake has fallen off a cliff.....When he was catching everything thrown his way with the Als. and when he left, his game went into the toilet....Hard to figure

......tick tick CFL Combine March 19-24.......Cfl Draft April 24th.............tick tick tick......tick....tick.....training camp opens May 12th/24'.......tick tick tick....Does that make everyone a little happier (Okay...I'll leave by the back door)

Bailey 'could' return BUT I think we'll only re-sign him at a bargain basement price....He deserves to be paid .....Could we squeeze him in ???would be tough...Now if Zack would shave a bit of his contract like Kelly in T.O. did, we might get it done......should/could we expect it.....probably not....Kind of leaves Bailey hanging in the breeze..I feel for the guy especially knowing how much he loves his team mates and the City.....tough call...very tough

........I'd say Faj will be quite skeletal waiting for a reply....but keep the dream alive is his motto lol

I can remember vividly the clash between Bud and James and it was mostly over Gerry's going to the Leafs during hockey season...Bud did not want one of his star players getting nic'd in another sport ...especially when they were in the Cup years, hence the disagreement ....I don't know that it was ever bitter, because James was always given the green light to go to the Leafs....but not with Grant's blessing....The contract squabbles I know nothing about, but there were always players who thought they were worth more then.....much like today

I've sat with veterans in the legion many times, and I assure you they would take a lot lighter stance on my comments about a 'football player'/ navy seal and his short tenure here, than you are...I do not kid about the military service of any veteran .....get that straight....As a football player , I think he's fair game in the public venue....Your crusade for the guy is wonderful but I'm sorry, I'm not going to retract or apologize for my comments and my 'lighten up' statement still stands.... AND as a side note ....quoting a guy like 'lyinguy' who called us a bunch of 'aholes' doesn't get you any points around here

Get serious...As a kid of a second world war vet, who put his life on the line for this country , I take umbridge with the insult....I realize what sacrifices are made by these men....I could call you out on the 'assholes' comment but that would just be feeding your bullshit....AND for cripes sake lighten up....I'm sure the seal would see some levity in my comments ...unlike you who is obviously against any levity on this board

the seal was good at anything connected to water....delivery included....I was always waiting for him to try and bounce the ball on the end of his nose....he wasn't doing much else

yup....BOLO is a loss ....He wasn't getting the game time he needed to advance so off he goes....Should have made a deal for him and obtained Mason Bennett ....coulda/ shoulda....counts for nothing and gm's have their own agenda that most don't vary too much from

AND now it looks like Hardrick will finish his career on an abysmal o line....and has gone full circle

News on Kongbo is slim to none.....I hope we move on him soon....Could be he's headed south again

sounds good .....had to search a bit bout' his age ....Born in 99' ...so 25....lots of future there

the info. on the guy is just overwhelming .....so hard to follow .... NOT .....Guess when someone says about him....were you born yesterday....looking at that DOB they'd be right.....LOL.....Would be nice to hear more about the guy

That's a double gut punch hearing both Ploen and Gerry have passed...Ol timers taking a hit hearing their hometown heros are gone.....James was something else in his day....all around athlete ....football, hockey and baseball.....Condolences to his family

kinda throws cold water on that when Walters says he won't be back....Might have a totally different plan

Miller will have his work cut out for him...BUT if anyone can get it done he can....Hansen when he was healthy was one of the best ....he will be replaced....Haven't heard anything on Bailey or BOLO.....Castillo is close and should be back ....Grey is interesting ....thought he'd be re-signed by now or picked up by someone...Lot's of fa's still out there

Ken Ploen and Bud Grant will always be synonymous for me growing up....They built the Bombers into one of the geatest teams that Winnipeg has ever seen....I will always remember the Cup wins, and the successful seasons Kenny quarterbacked us to, in the sixties...He was a class act and one of the greatest ever to grace Wpg. with his football acumen and his off field demeanour.....A part of this city's football lore that won't be forgotten R.I.P Kenny and condolences to his family

Ah yes the 13th man......What a great turn of events that I still luv today.....Can still see Lapo losing it in the booth ....He got the hell out of there after that faux pas of all time in the CFL
