Just sitting and chilling out here in the 15 minute wait area after getting my second shot. Feels good.

because it's reckless dangerous behaviour that has caused enough harm and needs to be called out. Why be hesitant to get a vaccine? Unless you're one of the people who have legit medical reasons that you can't get vaccinated there's no excuse. This slowly growing distrust of vaccines is a blight on society spread by morons who don't understand what the **** they're talking about.

Probably a good time to edit a chunk of this thread and move it over to the COVID thread........ Back on track:

Who cares who we are playing and how many times, all I care is they are playing.

We have a neighbour...a church minister in fact....who's carrying on a campaign against govt. officials regarding their implementation of the covid rules and regulations...Can't believe the ignorance of this man...in fact it's bordering on criminal in my opinion....Don't get vaccinated....don't wear masks....arrest govt. officials who insist on covid regulations, is his mantra....I can't believe some of the people who actually listen and follow this guy...So this is what we have to contend with....thank goodness this idiot is in the minority but he and his ilk are out there....We have/had a lot of hurdles to overcome in this pandemic and we sure as hell don't need people like him...Maybe a bolt will hit him and bring him into reality....can only hope

In Alberta, they're actually having a Lotto Vax to try and convince Covidiots to get vaccinated. Three 1 million dollar prizes available. Once we get to 80% vaccinated, I say let the Covidiots and Anti-vaxxer's get sick and possibly die. We spend way too much time and money trying to keep the stupid folks in the gene pool.

I crushed some edibles before my second shot too. Heard it was the only way to confuse the microchips. If I have no clue where I am, they can't track me.

I am so happy with the prospect of my Bombers and CFL returning I am giddy with delight and verging on urinary incontinence.

I opened the utensil drawer and was almost stabbed to death with all the knives that flew out at me. Magnets are no joke. I still have a spoon lodged in my ear.

I was just hoping for the free space on the bingo card 🤣😂

3/4 of the family will be fully vaxed by then. Can’t wait!!! I’ve never been so excited to hear Rod Blacks voice.

You'd be a joy to sit beside in the stands.

Schedules are hard to put together in a normal year so I can only image what went into this one with every franchise nearly having to adopt to different rules with different timelines.

Hiding behind a faith he customizes for his personal gain and greasy motives with absolutely no intention of following its actual teachings is what’s really maddening here and some people buy this grift hook line and sinker.

It sure is nice to see this thread.

Banjo Bowl could also be Championship celebration day if we are fully reopened by then.

Although great news that the CFL is coming back, here is a big example of why this league is still in trouble. Went to TSN for their 5:00 pm Sportscentre show, and what do you think the lead story was for the official broadcaster of the CFL? The return of Canada’s biggest professional league? Nope. Ok, I guess the Habs in the final 4 of the Stanley Cup could rate as bigger. But that wasn’t it either. The lead story was Euro 2020. Then on the TSN website last evening they reported on the Stanley Cup, Euro, Blue Jays, NBA playoffs, rest of MLB, US Open golf, and the NFL. Two small opinion columns by Naylor and Lalji if you scrolled far enough, but zero news stories. Sportsnet had the story buried behind all the same stuff except for the golf. And on both sites if you search under the sports’ headings for links to stories, neither one has the CFL listed in the top banner (both have the “big 4” and soccer and then “other sports”. Sportsnet has the CFL ranked behind World Championship hockey and auto racing in the “other sports” menu, so 8th in priority, and TSN rates it 7th behind the big 4, soccer and golf. If the co-owner of the team in the largest market ranks it 8th and the host broadcaster ranks it 7th, is it any wonder the game is floundering in the big markets?

Hey I put my name in for the lottery. I mean I got my needle as soon as I could possibly get it regardless but if the government wants to give away money why not to me? Better than wasting 1.3 billion on a doomed pipeline.

Second shot booked for Sunday. Me and my Dad should be good for the start of the season.

Or in the upper bunk.

At some point in our lives, it comes to us that we are not going to live forever, and most of us have our share of regrets about the things we have done and the way we have treated people. And then many will begin to fear that God is "gonna get them for that" and all the judgmental stuff we have heard as children makes us fear that we are going to Hell for not being perfect. Those who have accepted this crap fall into what they hope will be perfect obedience to dogma rather than the final direction of the Christ- treat others as you would be treated and love your neighbours (all others) as you love yourself. Our faith reflects our concept of our Creator- either angry, condemning and unquestionable or loving, encouraging of us to be better and tolerant of the paths that others choose that do not do harm. We are all imperfect but most of us desire to do and be better. Its all about choices.

I'd rather we play Ottawa once and the Elks club twice instead of thrice.

I don't care about peoples motivation to get vaccinated as long as they do.

anyone who didn't immediately jump at the chance to get a vaccine is an ******* or really dumb, and possibly both.

They're worried about people's souls!! Of course, I mean money. It's all a grift.

If it works change people's minds and can get things a lot closer to normal - great. There's a real chance we'll still be affected by variants and such for quite a while unless people get on board fast. Having large events, like bomber games, restricted to people who are vaccinated or have a legitimate reason for not getting vaccinated not only provides an impetus for vaccine hesitant to get their jab, but also makes bomber games safer for kids and those with medical reasons who rely on others to be sufficiently vaccinated. Giving people the option to get a vaccine in fine, but allowing those people to make large events unsafe for those with no option to protect themselves and others kinda sucks.

There’s always one ******* with the holier than thou attitude. I said it was a big reason why, not the only reason. Not that it’s any of your business anyways. Maybe save your contempt for the actual anti vaxxers. Better yet, maybe you should relax and not force your opinions down everyone’s throat.

at this point, they could televise training camp in a month and I'd tune in to every second. I am so deprived of CFL right now, it's ridiculous...

Hey whatever reason people need to get vaccinated is fine by me. There's a lot of doubters out there and anti-vaxxers who are going off how they feel rather than the science. Everyone needs a little different motivation... and if the end result is them getting vaccinated, then we are good to go!

Not going to lie, the possibility of seeing the Bombers is a huge reason I decided to get vaccinated. I can’t ****ing wait to be back at IGF.

In a race between vaccinations, case counts and the delta variant. Hopefully, we can win that race here in Manitoba.

how about now instead

McKnight is a speedy little receiver/returner....Quick as a cat and am looking forward to seeing what he can do on our big field...Will be strong competition in the initial going this year

cant charge the president cause of a memo someone wrote twenty five years ago, and stuck in a file somewhere. even if he does eveything imaginable to seize power. world's stupidest country. i before e except after..... s?

I got my jab early and I got into the lotto Vax too. It's stupid, but I'll take it if I get lucky. Don't get me started on the 1.3 BULL-Stuff pipeline crap.

Talked with someone at the Bomber offices this morning about getting season tickets and what the rules will be for vax cards and everything. Didn't seem like anything was set in stone, but it sure seemed like vaccinations will be optional. The explanation seemed like they needed to cater to fans that can't be vaccinated (understandable exemption) and those that don't want to get vaccinated. That was pretty much a non-starter for me getting tickets.

Honestly if people need more reason other than trying to keep themselves and the population as a whole healthy and alive then they need to get their heads outta their asses.

I remember watching a game at Winnipeg Stadium. Damon Allen scrambles left to the sidelines and at the last second throws a perfect pass for a first down with his left hand! I can't remember being so impressed and pissed off at the same time! lol

My worry is that politicians will open it up too soon yet again and we'll end up with yet another wave. Folks need both shots, not just one, especially for the newest variants. That being said, I think the vote this weekend will be to go ahead with an August start.

You know those Saturdays where they have 3 games back to back to back? I would love one of those right about now.
