Hey guys - just wanted to let you know that yesterday was a pretty f-ed up day for me as I was extremely close to a huge accident in Kelowna that claimed 5 peoples' lives. Having been that close to the danger and near death it put a lot of things in perspective. Thanks for all your posts, I really need to focus on this right now as it was beyond a traumatic experience. I am so happy the Bombers are back, and I can focus on something positive right now. That is all.

Those dastardly Als!

It’s locked but I just wanted to use my admin powers for the first time in years to reply to you and say We aren’t affiliated with the Bombers, nor do you have the “freedom of speech” to fall back on when you’re accessing a private online forum. Take your idiotic babble somewhere else.

Dr Roussin announces that MB Public Health approves WBBFC health and safety plan to allow 100% capacity at IGF on August 5th. Congrats, team....that's going to be a hell of a night. I'd give anything to be there...

Well now I just don't know if practices are open to the public or not?!?!

He was present yesterday by all accounts.

I think something like this would work here- apparently there are people that need more incentive than... oh I don't know- DEATH? it's insane, but hey, if it helps us reach 80% fully vaxxed- I am good with it.

Thursday Night Football at IGF to see the Bombers begin their title defense...?!

With a capacity crown no less! Gotta figure its going to be sold out. The casual fan is going to want to be there after a year and a half of nothing. We freakin' better be able to sell out after a Grey Cup win+pandemic!

Should have got it in the arm then.....

I don't know how he did it but this is clearly the work of Ed Phillion.

I don’t care which team has the best five or ten players this year. The team with the best *depth* will win. If the backend of your roster is full of guys who can step into a starting role without hurting you, you’ve got a good chance to win your division. https://3downnation.com/2021/07/14/insider-talk-saskatchewans-achilles-tears-expensive-o-lines-are-xfl-talks-really-dead/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=insider-talk-saskatchewans-achilles-tears-expensive-o-lines-are-xfl-talks-really-dead

Zack is jacked. Hope that extra weight keeps him healthy. He ain't Dunigan ripped, but he has been in the weight room alot during the break.

The province will implement the second phase of the ‘4-3-2-One Great Summer’ Reopening Path two weeks early, on July 17, as vaccination rates continue to climb across the province, Premier Brian Pallister and Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba’s chief provincial public health officer, announced today. “Vaccines are the safest and quickest way out of this pandemic. The sooner all eligible Manitobans get fully vaccinated, the sooner we can all get our lives back,” said Pallister. “Thanks to the incredible efforts of Manitoba’s vaccine team and Manitobans’ willingness to roll up their sleeves – not once, but twice – we are able to move forward earlier than anticipated with fewer restrictions on our economy and our communities.” The second vaccination milestone of at least 75 per cent first dose and 50 per cent second dose for those age 12 and older was reached nearly a month ahead of schedule on July 6. With continued improvement in the overall COVID-19 situation, Manitobans will be able to enjoy more freedoms with expanded indoor and outdoor activities, the premier noted. Under the second phase of the ‘4-3-2 One Great Summer’ Reopening Path, most facilities may now open to 50 per cent capacity, allowing more people to gather indoors and outdoors, shop, dine out, visit cultural and recreational facilities, and more. Fully immunized Manitobans who have received two vaccination doses at least two weeks ago, may enjoy even more benefits under new public health orders. Specifically, the new public health orders will now allow the following: • indoor gatherings at private residences are permitted to a maximum of five people, plus the household members; • indoor gatherings in public spaces are permitted to a maximum of 25 people; • outdoor gatherings on private property increase to a maximum of 25 people; • public outdoor gatherings increase to a maximum of 150 people; • retail businesses increase to 50 per cent capacity or 500 people, whichever is lower; • restaurants, licensed premises and food court capacities expand to 50 per cent capacity: - outdoor maximum table size remains at eight people; - patrons may only sit together indoors if they are from the same household or if all patrons 12 years of age or older are fully immunized (unvaccinated children under 12 may dine with fully vaccinated members of their household in this case); - opening hours extend to midnight; - the requirement to purchase food when ordering alcohol no longer applies; - VLTs may be operate with all other restaurant/bar rules applying (two-metre distance, only households or fully vaccinated people seated together); • personal services (haircuts and styling, nail salons, estheticians and massage) continue at 50 per cent capacity; however, appointments are no longer required; • dance, theatre, and music school capacities increase to 50 per cent capacity to a maximum of 25 perople per group; • indoor sporting facilities may host groups up to a maximum of 25 people, interaction between groups and tournaments are not permitted; • day camp capacity increases to groups of 25, joint activities between groups and overnight camps are prohibited; • outdoor recreation including games and practices may take place to maximum group size of 50 people; spectators are permitted and do not count towards this capacity limit; tournaments are not permitted; • gym and fitness centre capacities expand to 50 per cent capacity; masks and increased physical distancing (three metres) are still required; • outdoor weddings and funerals may include up to 150 participants in addition to photographers and officiants; indoor weddings or funerals increase to 25 people in addition to photographers and officiants; • libraries may open to 50 per cent capacity to a maximum of 150 people, whichever is lower; • faith-based and cultural gatherings (pow wows, sun dances) may expand to 50 per cent capacity or 150 people indoors, whichever is lower; masks and physical distancing between households is still required; - if the facility design allows, the capacity limits may be applied to different physical spaces within the venue; - outdoor faith-based and cultural gatherings permitted up to 150 people and drive-in services continue to be permitted without restriction; • the following may now reopen for fully immunized people only, to a maximum capacity of 50 per cent: movie theatres; bingo halls, VLT lounges and casinos, and museums and galleries; - museums operate under the fully vaccinated requirement when open to the public as a museum, both indoors and out, and if the museum is used as a private venue for another purpose (e.g. wedding), then the appropriate orders apply; - unvaccinated children under 12 may attend/visit these facilities/events (as appropriate) if accompanied by fully vaccinated members of their household; • large-scale, outdoor professional sports or performing arts events may operate with capacities up to 100 per cent after developing an approved event plan in consultation with public health. In all cases, following the COVID-19 fundamentals, including indoor mask use and physical distancing, is still required to protect the health and well-being of all Manitobans. “This is the safe, reasonable and appropriate next step in our reopening”, said Roussin. “More and more vaccinations allow us to loosen public health restrictions. But COVID-19 is still circulating in the province and continues to challenge our hospital and ICU capacity, a phased reopening is a safe reopening.” Pallister echoed the need for caution and care in the province’s reopening plan. “This is a marathon, not a sprint. We are not at the finish line yet, the race to beat COVID-19 is not over yet,” said the premier. “Until that race is over, Manitobans must continue to do their part and fulfil the two most important public health responsibilities each of us have; get fully vaccinated and follow the public health orders designed to keep COVID-19 away.” The new public health orders will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, July 17. The orders are scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 7 and will be reassessed at that time in the context of vaccination rates and the province’s overall COVID-19 situation. “We are close to achieving all of our vaccination milestones ahead of schedule. Now we just need that extra effort by every Manitoban not yet vaccinated to roll up your sleeve and push us across the finish line so we can fully reopen, safely and quickly,” said Pallister.

I like a little snarl during camp especially from vets

With no pre season games you want the guys that may need to come in off the bench to get as many reps as possible.

On CJOB today in O'sheas interview he subtly mentioned that Harris is a great coach. I thought it seemed like an odd thing to throw into the conversation. Let the rumour mongering begin. Edit: I've figured it out! We're Tampa Bay-ing this b****. Harris on IR all year, doesn't count against the cap, magically becomes healthy at the end of the season.

Pre-sale for season ticket holders starts on the 16th according to an email from the club.

Excited also with full capacity I get to sit in my season seats too.

Bomber game 100 percent capacity approved

some good stuff in the above...

POS

Love it.

New health orders for Manitoba are being announced at 2 pm! Apparently some really good changes coming. I may able to entertain people INSIDE my home again!

I'm not worried about AH in the least. At least not yet. He probably is a tiny bit nicked up and the Bombers are shelving him out of an abundance of caution. He really has nothing to prove in TC why risk injury. Is MOS being dishonest saying it's all about assessing who will be behind him? Not really....that's going to be one of the toughest calls in TC imo. We realistically can't keep all 3 of Borsa, Augustine, and Oliveira and each guy is really talented and will be a big part of our succession plan for Harris. The Bombers could really lose the next Andrew Harris if they choose incorrectly and there is no game action to see them under fire before the decision has to be made. Assessing their reps is going to be vital. Now don't get me wrong, it's doubtful we are sitting Harris solely for that reason but I am sure it was a factor as to the approach they are choosing to take with AH right now.

25 cases and TP 4.5...Wow ! It's almost as if vaccinations work !

I am guessing this up coming week.

Its exciting news for sure. No more wondering if they'd limit capacity and whether that would cause me or anybody else (ok, me) to miss any games. Feel way more comfortable with the being fully vaxxed rquirement and hope its the standard for large events moving forward.

TPR Manitoba 4.0 Winnipeg 3.8, Restrictions update at 2

if they're wearing their own #'s, first match is 37 S Brandon Alexander vs 84 WR Ardarius Stewart. The 84 in the vid seems bigger than 37. There are two 84 in the roster Stewart who stands at 6.0 and the other is Malcom Lewis who stands at 5.10. Not sure with the second pairing. The defender seems to be #83 WR Alonzo Russell Sr (6.4). cant figure out the # of the other guy.

I mean America hasn't been a true democracy for decades now....it's just they aren't trying to pretend anymore.

Oh Ed...and the "mano a mano"......it's mano y mano, and it means "hand to hand"...not man to man. *twitch twitch twitch*

I personally know teachers that have had Covid cases in their class and argued with health officials whether others would be considered close contacts. Apparently "no school transmission" was the message and you can't go against that message. I believe there were two groups (there was at least one) that had to track Covid cases in schools with help from parents receiving letters because the government wouldn't do it.

Same as usual. The yt channel with updates is decent atleast. Blue media is long in the tooth. And that lack of coverage hurts the leagues ability to reach a younger market.

Devonte Williams has been in town for several days, FWIW.

One of the reasons O'Shea has so much respect with the players, is he doesn't put their personal business out there in the public. I get that these things need to change, but it's something that the players are going to have to agree to, more so than the coaches. I'd be curious about what the PA has to say about all of it...

Guys, obvious troll is obvious. Don't even touch it.

you gotta just luv this guy.....

Who the hell is Andre Harris.....sounds like a French guy has booked off

It was nice to see Darvin punk that guy

Same here for the Elkoholics

When the hell do single games tickets go on sale?!?!? The melonheads have had theirs on sale for weeks already.

Of course I'm f***ing working that night, but man what I wouldn't give to be there with you all...or at least be able to see it live on TV. Going to be an incredible night!!

Got my 2nd shot on Monday night and man its still kicking my butt. About the only time I feel good about being feeling crappy.

For sure it's great to see vets early in camp with gravel in their guts and spit in their eye.

Just a quick reminder: SUPERSITES ARE TAKING WALK-INS If you are worried about having to stand in line... well, they have you covered with: So, if you want to get vaxxed sooner than your original date, about to make that second appointment or finally come to your senses and want to grab that first shot...

There was a lot going on and far too much inconsistency. If any semblance of all this remains in September, we will see more early retirements.

Seriously, did Saskatchewan hire this guy as their strength and conditioning coach?
