Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
NFL does not allow corporate ownership. It would have to be an individual with that kind of coin.

Argos at Bombers, The Big One
I would prefer that we don't have to play on the road in BC. We might be rolling, but I prefer to see the Lions OUTSIDE in November and not in their cushy dome. Plus, more games means more chance for injuries and less recovery time.

My point was not to only bring back the 70s/80s stuff but that True North can't make anything nice without bringing back the 70s/80s stuff. These new ones are ugly, regardless of their history.

It would have been if he wasn't six-gamed.

OMG. Those are hideous. The only good thing the Jets have ever done with their jerseys is going back to the old franchise looks.

Curling
Signed my oldest up to curl this year. It will be his first year. He really enjoys watching it, but it's never worked out timing-wise. What a cheap activity! $135 for an entire season. Obviously, I have some upfront costs like shoes and a broom but the broom can be used in the future. Definitely cheaper than flag football, which is twice as much for half the time. Ah, well, I'll just take it out of the university fund.

They've had a soft schedule so far and are already on cruise control. It's not even cold yet.

Covid-19
I just think that most people don't understand the difference between antibiotics and vaccines.

Covid-19
Antibiotics fight bacterial infections. Vaccines prevent illness by making your immune system stronger. If we stopped giving vaccines to animals, they would undoubtedly get sick and probably make us sick.

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
You can say that the NFL doesn't need the XFL or a feeder league but here's the list of XFL players that signed in the NFL this year: https://www.xfl.com/xfl-to-nfl#:~:text=From XFL to NFL,making those dreams a reality. There are 63 players on that list and does not include the USFL signees. Seems like they do kind of need a feeder league.

Maybe. But, there's a demand for it. Just need to build consistency. There's definitely only room for one, but they have the goal of becoming the feeder league for the NFL. The NFL could use a development league to build a deeper pool and fill in some gaps in area coverage. I don't know how much they're prepared to lose. Time will tell.

It's venture capital. They know it will take time before they see payback but they hope that they can last long enough.

Save your breath. Everything is a conspiracy. It's the most tested, widely used vaccine in history but the anti-science, anti-evidence crowd doesn't care.

The RIP 2023 Thread
This year... Ugh. My mother listened to Roger Whittaker often as I grew up. So, naturally, Roger was a big musical inspiration. Probably one of the reasons I love singer-songwriters so much. I took my mother and grandmother to see him at the Concert Hall in the early 2000s. I was so choked to get third row centre seats. Me, late 20s, and all the blue-hairs. RIP Roger.

Except, our line-up is the best in the league, so we would have to cut someone (from the best team) to make room for that PR player.

Winnipeg Jets 2023 Off-Season Thread
Oh, I'm certain that Scheif is an issue too. But, I am curious to see how this season goes. Chevy blew it when he couldn't move Scheif or Helle. Neither will be here next year and this team is not competing for a Stanley Cup, full stop.

Winnipeg Jets 2023 Off-Season Thread
Addition by subtraction. I think it tells you exactly what most fans know, which is that Wheeler was a problem. Too bad Chevy never figured that out. Could have kept some good people.
