    Well, here's some moments nobody else has mentioned Live moment #1 - July 27, 2017 - Matt Nichols eeking out a sneaky 41-40 win with 1:40 left against the Als after being down 28 - 40. Live moment #2 October 11, 2010 - Steven Jyles replacing Stinky Brinky with the Bombers down 32-11 to start a massive comeback. My favorite was the stadium announcer beginning overtime "For all of you fans joining us from the parking lot..." Radio moment #1 - June 11, 2014 - Drew Willy playing a stellar game led the Bombers to a last-second touchdown and a 34-33 win over the Als. Too bad that ended up being the peak of his career here in Winnipeg. Lastly, going to the Grey Cup in Vancouver in 2011 with my then-girlfriend (now wife), we ended up with free tickets to the Riderville pavilion and went just to check it out. They gave out these free green bead necklaces with your admission and when she was offered them she just straight up refused as politely and matter-of-fact as possible ("Oh sorry, I don't do green"). Knew right then I'd marry her.

    Cuomo is one of the people that Trump is resentful of and furious with for upstaging him, and for good reason. Cuomo is caring, intelligent and well-spoken, doing what needs to be done without braggadocio. Everything Trump ought to be be has no idea or inclination to be.

    No they stopped the game and Brian Williams and a CFL member came out.
  8. things are interesting here. for the past week my wife has something that might be CV19. her slow-onset fever is right but her cough is wrong. so we are treating her like a CV19 infectee, our house is in quarantine, and furthermore she is isolating herself from me. Since we have a single-bathroom house, that's complicated. lots of wiping of surfaces going on here. on top of that, I've got some kind of non CV19 sinus thing going on with turbo fatigue that's got me sleeping about 75% of the time. seem to have shook that over the weekend and planning on regular working from home tomorrow. My wife's isolation protocol ends tomorrow (1 week after first symptoms, or 3 days after symptoms end, whichever comes first). I'm going to cook something nice and we'll have a Better Call Saul date or we'll play the untitled goose game together. There are rumors flying around town (Seattle) that the state will be under formal cop-enforced lockdown soon. Other states have done this already. all the best from out here. go bombers (though I wonder if there will be a CFL season at all in 2021)

    we were up nearly at the top row...Section K, Row 23. (I can only confirm this because I have one of those framed things from the Bombers after the old stadium shut down...a piece of my seat, a piece of turf and some other stuff all in a frame...)

    Perhaps. This whole pandemic has no doubt shown what a broken system we have, rife with corruption and avarice. We gotta weather the storm first, though: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-covid-19-second-wave-1.5507522

    This is an unprecedented situation and therefore the target will always be moving. And mistakes will be inevitable. All we can do is hope that the errors will be on the side of caution.

    The "stumbling block" Nancy Pelosi: “We require that any corporation that takes taxpayer dollars must protect their workers’ wages and benefits — not CEO pay, stock buybacks or layoffs.” Shame on her.

    I think the biggest difference here is during WW2 for both Canada and Britain, the general public had more respect for their government and took pride in civic duty. Capitalism has caused the general public and your average Joe to think of himself first, instead of other citizens, most citizens now have very cynical views of government agendas. A law or action by any government, be it provincial or federal - is only as good as it is enforced. Trudeau can have 24-hour news conferences and pep rallies urging Canadians to stay home and practice social distancing, but until people are actually arrested or ticketed, his bark has no bite. Look at Taiwan - heavily hit by the SARS virus years earlier, they made sure they acted proactively - configuring supply chains so they could produce their own masks and medical equipment to be self-sufficient as they knew demand was going to skyrocket globally. They also rationed medical supplies on-hand to the general public, and made it illegal for businesses or individuals to profit by price-gouging (fines of up to $200,000 CAD) - both measures designed to prevent hoarding. They have even managed to keep schools and businesses open during the pandemic. Both Canada and Taiwan reported their first cases within days of each other... Taiwan as of today has 2 deaths, 215 cases, and a population of 27 million in an area about the size of Vancouver island. Canada has about 24 deaths and 2,091 cases... although we have a larger population (~37 million), it is much more spread out than Taiwan. End of the day - work at home (if possible), wash your hands and stay away from idiots - all good advice even before the pandemic broke out.

  29. Combo of both home and work. I can do most of my "office" duties from home, but I'm on air hosting two afternoon drive shows at the same time every weekday, which is something i have to be on site to do. We've locked our doors, and only essential staff are allowed in for the time being.

    Self-entitlement is part of it, not grasping the situation. The other part that we're all going to feel is that staying inside is not a reasonable thing to do for a period of time. I was very mad watching the news to see people going for walks in Vancouver being berated by politicians. PEOPLE NEED TO GO OUTSIDE! Yes they need to take precautions and not congregate, but this whole idea of limiting interactions will not work over any significant period if the leaders in our society are heavy-handed on people being completely reasonable...going for a walk in a park FFS.
  37. My son texted my wife. The State of Washington is under a stay at home order as of almost an hour ago. Stay safe, Johnzo. I've been laid off. No school. No school bus drivers. The company I work for is trying to get us a little bit more pay to the end of March. But some of the school boards may not want to pay us.

  40. I hear you, man. When I was newlywed I was working as a novelist, so I was at home alone all day every day with just my stupid book in my head for company and yeah, that got old pretty fast.
  41. Today, finally, they let us go home. We’re considered essential. No lap tops. No mobile communications so in the span of ten days or so they got everything they needed, software, hardware etc to make it possible and tested it today. Sent us home with our desktop computers. looking forward to it to be honest. Hope it works out and they give us the option when this is all over

  44. Last Monday they told us all we're now working from home where we can, but for people in my role that still requires doing some site work and lab work in the office. It's not perfect but I feel like it's a good solution. I hate it though. I am not cut out for the working from home thing,

    Boldens Pick 6 was just amazing! I remember jumping up and down screaming "WE'RE GOING TO THE CUP!" Stegalls 4 catches for a million yards and 4 TDs. HOW THE **** DID THAT HAPPEN!!?!? lol That last season in the old barn (*2011) and the noise the fans generated all season long. Broke a ring I had on the back of those upper deck benches. And I still have the sign for section 10A 2004 labour day game. I told Kenton Keith that I had slept with his mother during pregame. He had a horrible game. Bombers won. 2019 - YES!
