Nolby Posted May 20, 2022 Report Posted May 20, 2022 I know players don't stay on teams because they're nice or whatno,just watched the video of Mourtada. Sounds like a good guy,sounds like he put serious work in the off season and I'm actually pulling for him. That being said,this I feel would be his end if the season goes like last after having a full off season to train instead of being thrown in halfway through the season.

RIP*... *I don't actually remember what happened to that moose that delayed the Banjo bowl a few years ago Yes! It is important for DT to know about Hewie. Prior to Banjo Bowl (2018??) there was a moose that got into the public near the stadium. The #FortHew stuff was relatively new, so the moose got named Hewie. Unfortunately, CO's had to put down the moose. #RIPHewie Jesse 1

Didn’t have my all black W hat in stock. Said it might be in this week. As I have no money left if it’s there can you pick me up one and one of the rider fans who frequent here will sell their sister wife to pay you back? Sorry reflex. Oh, don't involve me.

From what I remember the moose died from a heart attack from all the stress of all the traffic and running back and forth in a panic in that green space area the COs were trying to keep it confined to. But maybe I dreamt that up. Who knows anymore lol! Noeller 1
bigg jay Posted May 20, 2022 Report Posted May 20, 2022 It didn't go down quite like that... it was 2017 and Hewie had been running around for 2 days before CO's were able to tranquilize him. They were transporting him to a more suitable location when he died. The official statement said it was due to the stress & exertion of running through a populated area in hot weather. 1 minute ago, Firekid said: From what I remember the moose died from a heart attack from all the stress of all the traffic and running back and forth in a panic in that green space area the COs were trying to keep it confined to.

No, your recollection is pretty good. https://www.thestar.com/sports/football/2017/09/11/moose-that-almost-delayed-blue-bombers-roughriders-game-dies-due-to-stress-manitoba-government-says.html I still have video of Hewie going for a swim in the pond south west of the stadium. We used to walk through there to get to IGF and he was our pre-game entertainment that day. Noeller and Firekid 2

Being out of football soo long then coming back to what happened last year has to be crushing. If his work shows dividend’s with the hash mark move I think he’s going to do great. this is def his last chance unless he shows great. Nolby, Stickem, ddanger and 1 other 4

JCon Posted May 20, 2022 Report Posted May 20, 2022 From Tait's article... WR Carlton Agodusi, who spent last year on the practice roster, made a spectacular catch early on Friday, but came up injured and did not return…
