    I believe it was because we were not bringing our starting oline, no way O'shea wanted to risk Zac in that situation...

    Shell: $9.1B (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/05/shell-earnings-q1-2022.html) [highest quarterly profit since 2008] It's not inflation. It's not the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's not the carbon tax. It's greed. Rampant unchecked greed.

    Two days left. And today’s choice is non-negotiable. From Notre Dame and SI to one of the greatest Grey Cup finishes ever in Ottawa, and ending the first great Bomber Cup drought, here is my favourite Bomber QB ever.

    Yeah, I was gonna say...I think I dig this. I want to know more about the song they used. I like the use of colour and graphics...outlining images in various colours was a neat idea. I know Winnipeggers are a cynical lot, but as someone who got away for awhile, I will fight for Wpg all day... *edit* I suspected this was an indigenous group from Winnipeg, and indeed it is. I dig a lot of individual elements of the song and our indigenous history is such a huge part of Manitoba/Winnipeg that it's a nice touch to use an artist from that culture as the backbone of this advertising.

    Here Dunk, let me do your job for you... here are some of the reason the Bombers could drop off this season: - top players getting older and unlikely to replicate career years from last year: e.g. Bighill, Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Collaros - question marks in the kicking game (Walters did alright figuring that out last year) - three new players in defensive backfield coverage: Glass, Thompson, Ruteledge (though that wasn't a problem last year) - top guard (Desjarlais) gone to the NFL with his best replacement (Eli) not returning - top receiver now in Edmonton - important veterans/leaders now with other teams (Harris, Adams) Now, I don't think all (or any) of these things are gong to be major problems for the Bombers... but if you're going to go on record saying the Bombers will regress... at least get your facts right

    Courtesy of Nye? lmao why am i not surprised. He would bet against the Bombers if they were playing against a peewee team from a home for the blind. Yeah our season is going to tank because we no longer have a 35 year old running back who played in all of 7 games last year.

    Lions is such good news "Doman wants to see more young fans at games this season and has worked with BC Place to make concessions more affordable. He indicated that a kids meal including a hot dog, chips, and a drink can now be purchased for $10. The crowd on Saturday will also be treated to a performance by OneRepublic, whose song “I Ain’t Worried” is climbing the charts after being featured in the hit film Top Gun: Maverick. “There are so many bands touring right now it’s hard to get an A-list band because everyone’s back out after the COVID thing,” said Doman. “We are so fortunate to get OneRepublic and everybody’s extremely excited about it.” Doman purchased the Lions in August 2021 and has repeatedly stated his commitment to helping regrow the club’s fanbase." good article https://3downnation.com/2022/06/07/lions-could-open-upper-bowl-at-bc-place-due-to-ticket-demand-for-home-opener/

    All good folks. I'm no pro, nor do I pretend to be. Just having fun on Youtube. Totally get it if it's not your thing and I would never measure myself against someone in mainstream media. That being said, I do believe that Don AKA Sign Guy was in part responsible for getting in SJ's head. We can't prove it was the straw there but I do believe he gets into guys' kitchens once in awhile. Do I think that has a significant impact on the game, day in and day out? No.

    Twitter can be kind of gross if you fall into the wrong echo chamber and you're the one dissenting voice. This goes for sports/politics/whatever. People can be really shitty when they know they have 100 other people nearby that agree with them.

    The rhetoric from the MPs supporting PP that he is some great uniter of the CPC or even all of Canada 😄 I'm sure there's some positive ways to describe him, but you absolutely can't paint him as a someone that unites people.

    Harris leadership may be missed...mayyyy.....as we have some bigtime leaders already there before him...and while he was here, and they still here....so really I see it as a non issue Production wise....he missed half the games...and we were basically unbeaten...we have 2 highly motivated younger guys...in better shape/condition...one of whom is a fellow Winnipegger who most likely has a huge chip on his shoulder now to prove he is the heir apparent, and behind this oline, and scheme and returning receivers....plus Ellingson...they just have to play their game and limit their errors...just like last yr....again...we will be fine, and prob better than last year as we actually have better QB depth, and I bet Ellingson and Schoen (and whoever else gets reps) will out produce what Lawler/Adams gave us last year, and prob this yr too for their respective teams....no slight against them as they were key guys for us, and great players but it's not crippling us by any stretch of the imagination Is Desjarlais better than Gray, and a loss...for sure...But Gray is a more than capable starter, we were just very fortunate that Desjarlais was the stud he was...Gray could start on any team in the league...could have last year and been top2..or 3 for them...factor in he has started before...with all the guys returning, we will hit the ground running and not having to have a gel period like pretty much every team in our division

    That's a really small market and one that doesn't have a large population base around it either. You would get TiCat fans driving in for those games and maybe a few from Windsor. But, you need corporate support and butts in seats, which will be a struggle. I would prefer to see them focus on getting Toronto, Montreal and BC going first. If the Atlantic team can get it together, bonus!

    I have no problem with Dunk putting the Stamps ahead of the Bombers... I'm good with anything that keeps our boys motivated But his comment about Harris is so amateurish, it's borderline embarrassing... Yes Andrew Harris is/was a very important player on this team... but how you can you say that the Bombers will not be as good because they lost a player who missed half of last season is now gone??

    Tait: Ellingson https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/06/06/im-loving-it-here-ellingson-settling-in/ "He’s big. That’s one of the things,” O’Shea said. “Until you stand beside him… I remember standing beside him and Brad Sinopoli years ago (when he and Ellingson were teammates in Ottawa) and going, ‘Look at these two guys.’ Then you forget and then he comes into the building and you go ‘Yup, that’s right. He’s big. Really big.’ Other than that, one of the things I’ve really enjoyed so far is just talking the game with him. He reminds me of Weston.”" yeah baby! how many head coaches sit around an talk football with players? maybe lots do, dont actually know. Tait is very good.
