  1. Hate to say it but there was a reason boston sent jumbo joe packing, They knew he just couldn't get the job done when it mattered. That entire San Jose team is like that tho. Marleau goes missing when it matters the most too.
  2. Officiating isn't much better in most other sports. Cite: Rappers playoff game today. NFL SanFran vs Seattle this past January. Plenty of bad officiating to go around.As for the proposal, I'd suggest that the main media isn't suitable, but an interview between the director of officiating or a well trained interviewer and the game crew designed to better explain the rules could have some merit. Omgz, you watch the raps? But, no one watches the raps outside of toronto if you believe whats said 'round here i agree tho, wow that was embarrassing by nba ref standards.. Obvious that the league since the refs obviously do what the league tells them wanted New York vs Miami for sure. The reffing was garbage, in the end tho, the raps had a chance to win and didnt do it though. Too bad but, you're right nobody watches it.
  3. Pennywise? No way, they are right up there with bad religion in terms of wikked awesome punk bands. Never knew they were still together.
  4. Doesn't hurt to give the guy a chance. Injuries are what they are. He's good enough that he got a shot at the NFL. If he can stay healthy, he might have something. we shall see.
  5. wow 3-1 montreal with 11 minutes left. 4-3 bruins with 3 minutes left now. 5-3 now. Geez this is a maple leaf like fail by montreal here. Not the same as that was game 7 but wow. what a collapse.
  6. you sound like someone from the other Bombers forum site. Do i? I don't have an account there. What did i say though that wasn't true? why should i trust fans opinions over bob wylies? chill man, i didn't say what your saying is not true. i just said that you sound like someone from the other site. that's all. but from your last post, i kinda sense you know who i am referring too. the first word in the dictionary?
  7. Maybe they should just make the correct calls on the field and then they wont have to explain any "controversial" calls.

  9. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=451046 Unbelievable. Just about a week ago, people were going after the clippers owner for saying things not as bad as what some of these keyboard warriors said. Just sad that this is still the case in 2014. Racism is alive and well and people who pretend that guys like subban simmonds and kane dont have to deal with it on a daily basis are part of the problem. They shouldn't have to deal with this at all. Wonder how PK's brother Malcolm feels about this, he is a boston prospect.
  10. I'll trust bob wylies opinion. If we take lavertu or goosen, im confident they will turn out to be a good pick because wylie obviously will have a say. Honestly, we probably have the best oline coach in the CFL now, if he thinks goosen or lavertu are worth the #2 pick, then do it. No questions asked. Gotta trust the guys in charge to make the right decisions here. Wylie is a very respected oline coach, I'll trust he can turn whoever we take a 2 into a starting player for us (assuming its an olineman which i think it will be)
  11. The problem might be the media has no idea about the rules also, the refs would have to explain to the friesens of the world what the rules actually are first.
  12. I wonder what the percentage is for the joe mack tenure, Everyone seems to think his drafting sucked... but i wonder if you just took the last 3 years and did percentages, where the bombers would rank overall I'll bet its probably closer to the top. 5 years means we are looking at mack kelly and 1 year of taman no? Remove kelly and taman and see what happens.
  13. Pretty sure 99.99% of officials wouldn't enjoy this. I think it might make them look a little more incompetent in the big picture. Are these guys trained to speak to the media? could you imagine a paul friesen type of guy asking these guys questions? It wouldn't be good at all.
  14. Regardless of how you look at this, we got a brand new stadium that will last for 40 50 years plus for 210 million. Hockey arenas cost more, Regina Stadium will be more. 210 million is good value really. Im actually amazed that it was built for so little to be honest. I'll take this stadium over the one in Ottawa and Hamilton that's for sure. I understand some people will complain cuz that's what they do but... 210 million for something that will be around for 50 years plus.. No issues here. Honestly, our tax dollars go towards lots of really ridiculous things that none of us have any use for. I'm not going to mention one thing that i think is a huge waste of tax payer money because that will open up a can of worms I'm sure.
  15. I've always been under the impression that referees should be seen and not heard (outside of making the calls during the game). I don't believe they should let them talk to the media afterwards. They really have nothing to gain. Post game interviews with referees, are the refs trying to become the stars now?
  16. There are about 7 or 8 receivers competing for one starting spot in my opinion (i think moore and denmark are locks) Of those 7 or 8, 2 are canadians in brescanin and renaud and actually feoli guidino. they are probably competing with each other for the backup non import spot. So that leaves you with johnson,kelly,garvin,barnes,urrutia and maybe i mised a guy or 2 competing for one starting spot, i guess tarver also but on the bb.com they have him listed as a rb. Surely one of those guys will step up and take kellys spot. Under the impression, one or 2 import receivers always come in and show they belong so im not too worried about that spot too much. I am somewhat surprised though that Kelly is still on the roster, that worries me a bit to be honest. I hope they take the guys who play the best in pre season and dont base this one who bellefeuille has a love affair with.
  17. went to one of these a year or 2 ago, really was excited to check it out too. It was probably the worst few hours of my life. The questions some of the "fans" ask, seriously, its just ridiculous. I think these things are a giant waste of time, i mean good on the team for doing it but i wont be there this year or ever again. Just seems like a huge waste of time. You really do get some people who really have no clue about anything. I guess, its more entertaining listening to the people ask questions and struggle to ask the question. Its almost like listening to lawless ask questions, stutter this, stutter that.. umm uhh eh oh ya for sure, umm hey what umm yeah u umm gonna umm do umm about the umm qb umm situation umm. "voice cracks". Entertaining but in my opinion, nothing significant ever happens. Its almost like the malaysian govt calling a press conference regarding the mh370. You basically get a whole lot of nothing.
  18. zac brown band is a pretty big concert too. It would be cool if they added more acts to that like florida georgia line and luke bryan (wont happen) But good for winnipeg for getting both these concerts, the beyone jay z thing aint for me but.... im sure it sells out. Id rather go to the country show to be honest. That sweet annie song is a darn good tune. lol
  19. I dont care about torts one way or another but... it does seem like he was set up to fail. It seems the canucks are having a hard time admitting this isnt 2011 any more. They seem to not want to admit that there time has passed, there window has closed. They seem to refuse to admit its time to rebuild. You can blame gillis, you can blame torts but this downfall started the minute the canucks became complacent and refused to accept that they just arent very good any more. Canucks seem to have this problem, i recall them holding on to naslund and those guys too long too, refusing to admit they were past their prime. Its happening again. The owner is also an issue as it seems he likes to run the team a little too much. When the owners get involved too much, this is what happens.
  20. So in other words you have no idea what you are talking about lol. Back in the Attitude era most fans were shilling out for both WWE and wcw ppvs. not as much as you think they were. Google it. I mean really. Put in wwe ppv buy rates and the first thing that pops up shows you the numbers have been consistent for the most part.
  21. In the seen this coming a mile away category, John Torterella was fired by the Canucks today.
  22. Especially since Aaron Kelly is still on our roster. Bellefeuille bromance? I'd rather bring in a reasonable prospect for a look in training camp, hell if we really need Kelly back I'm sure he'll be available. Don't even get me started on Aaron Kelly, I have no idea why he's still on our roster. For everyone that loved to rag on Jade Etienne, here's an import who tons of people seemed to fall in love with because of a few spectacular catches despite the fact that he actually produced LESS than a guy like Jade. If we're going to be competitive, we should be able to do much better than Aaron Kelly. oh c'mon. Get started.
  23. quick google search for the name jeffrey rabb brings up basically nothing http://www.jewishpostandnews.ca/features/1179-y-sports-dinner-honours-arch-honigman-and-jeff-rabb thats about it, this is if you ignore the articles about the bombers not wanting him. The only common thing between asper and rabb is they are both jewish, both own real estate developmental companies Pretty apparent this is all about the bombers wanting the CoW rep to actually be a CoW rep and not some random guy. I mean, its all well and good for this guy to be a board member, just dont think he really qualifies for the CoW rep, I dont think they'd have a problem if he was just a board member but this seems to be all about him not being an actual rep of the CoW. Not sure what the issue here is, the city requires a rep who represents the city, this guy doesnt. He isnt a member of city council, he's not on the epc, he isnt cao, he has got nothing to do with the day to day operations of the city. The seat has a pre requisite that rabb doesnt meet. Its really that simple.
  24. Guess releasing the american center probably means they will take one of lavertu or goosen. It is interesting that they worked out lavertu the other day and goosen yesterday and then release this guy today, must mean they are sold on both of them.
  25. Nope. LOL
