Ok, now I think people are going too hard in the other direction here. Last year Brady was absolute crap for the first half of the season and clearly made changes to be the incredible back he was

of course it is, we're sitting here bitching that we've only won 2 grey cups in 4 straight appearances and have 3 straight first place in the west finishes.  What we got here are first world prob

When healthy we are far and away the better team. Montreal was red hot and extremely healthy. We dressed 3 receivers that couldn't make near the impact they would have if they were healthy. And then o

EEEwww.. No offense to those living in The Pas but one of those in enough. I shall note that as a Thompson resident that is our Woolerton.

Lol. When you've been fishing/eating fish for a week, chicken or pizza in TP on the way home, is the bomb.

Can't complain about the food, it's the rotten egg smell from the pulp mill that gets me.

The Fort Hew thing goes back all the way to when they started using the For The W marketing slogan. Someone recognized early on that when used as a hashtag, it runs together as Fort Hew, which made sense as a great nickname for the stadium. Then there was the Moose prior to that Banjo Bowl game, whatever year that was, that got loose near the stadium and held up traffic, and he became Hewie The Moose. It just goes back SO FAR..... and I (along with most of the diehards/regulars) have been using it ever since. At least 6 or 7 years now.

They probably should have went with Princess Auto Field as that actually does sound better than stadium. Maybe even Princess Auto Center Then we could call it the PAC like 2pac and that sounds gangsta for sure.

Princess Auto Field at Winnipeg Stadium would have been best case. 
 

But - we aren’t paying the money for sponsorship.

Agreed, the PAC sounds badass- the PAS,  reminds everyone that the pas exists... which is no good for anyone really.

 

Total missed opportunity.

I recall the exactly first time I heard 'Fort Hew'. It was Aug17 2017, Winnipeg is hosting Edmonton that night... Wade Miller happens to drive past by my worksite and spots me decked out in Bomber gear, I spot him and give a hearty cheer. He hits the breaks and asks us to sit tight and soon after his assistant is on site handing us tickets for the game. Most of these guys had never been to a football game in their lives and were completely unaware of all things Bomber related, but they were pumped to go. Fast forward to gathering at the stadium and someone asks me what this #FORTHEW printed in bold on the ticket meant, but of course they pronounce it 'Fort Hew' and I like to think that put the term out there into the universe somehow. A few short weeks later the police would be called in to tranq Hewey, our famous moose on the loose. Big year for bomber stadium lore, whatever you call it. PAS is taking some time to grow on me...

Real Celebrity Jeopardy Sean Connery stuff there....#analbumcover....lol

MBB has demerits? Next you'll be telling me it filters out swearing.

Looks like my original response got me filtered and demerited all at the same time, gosh darn it all.

Is it official that Rose is gonzo?

He's no longer under contract with us for the season, and we haven't signed him. it's not official but the writing is on the wall I would think.

need to go cheaper in a few spots...Have at Rt Tackle...with departure of Houston, and possibly Rose that may be the area we do it, as we seem to excel at finding DB's

With Bailey unsigned, we may go entry level at the 5th receiver spot now too...I don't think we can offer any less to Bailey and as much as he loves it here and wants to be here...he needs to look after himself now too at this juncture of his career..then again...u never know..maybe we offer him similar or a bit more...If we moving on from Jeffcoat, and feel no need to sign a vet thats available and go soley with 2 entry level guys then maybe we have money for Bailey...With Walker moving on, and Fox on the cheap....savings with JJ and Walker likely gives us about 100k surplus with replacing them both with entry level guys from what we had on books for them last yr

He wasn't making much over league minimum last year so if he agreed to the same contract as last year I'm sure we would sign him in a heart beat.
