Yeah, my days at the U of M with parties, beer bashes & socials. Then being single after I graduated & started working full time. Spent a lot of time in the bars. I have more than a few stories I won't ever tell.

In the CFL? Most guys make no real money playing in the CFL. General Managers dupe their players by deferring payments into bonuses at the middle or end of January & then cut them so they don't have to pay. So many players are on one year deals it doesn't matter if players are appreciating or depreciating as they only last a year with a team & move on. Most players have to find off season jobs. There's a handful of guys making 90% of the money at 3 or 4 positions like QB, DE or WR. Unless you're an overpaid & overrated Canadian OL that teams open up the banks for as most of them truly are. There really aren't a lot of truly great Canadian OL playing on any team. The remainder of a typical roster don't make what they should be making. To me, appreciating or depreciating means nothing. Prime example Sean Lemon. In his mid 30's & not mid 20's. Signs one year deals only & cashes in every time.

Make sure the room has plenty of ventilation.

As much as I like Strev... but between the under arm odour, beer stains & smell of puke, I'll pass on that fur coat.

Why do people compare the NFL to the CFL? It's in another stratosphere so they should pay more so who cares? QBs making more in 2019 before the pandemic just shows how the CFL is shrinking & not growing while the CFL does nothing to spur growth. Personally, I don't care if Nathan Rourke made more money than any CFL qb did. Of course Collaros doesn't have to "entertain" anything. But for the good of the team he should. It's obvious the Bombers are up against it with the ridiculously low salary cap.

You can say that about every player. All it takes is one knee injury to destroy even a blue chipper's career. Or shorten it substantially.

I like Zach & want him back but yeah, it's time he took a haircut. The money being paid qbs is unsustainable. So, reset the position so this doesn't have to be a thing every year.

There are lots of asshat coaches or managers in every major pro league. Good or bad the players have to play for everyone even if they don't like it. Darryl "Chuckles" Sutter is another coach players hated but they had no choice.

Jake Maier was the only qb in the CFL to play all 18 games last season so nothing has changed.

1. Yeah, Brady's sure been a positive & infectious force in the locker room this off season. Especially after his last social media post. 2. I & most fans just want to win whether Brady is from Winnipeg or Tallahassee. Florida. We don't care. Is it nice he's a Winnipegger? Sure. Is it necessary?? No. 3. What intangibles does Brady have that other backs don't have? Sure, he's big, strong & tough but so are other backs as well. He can be replaced rather easily for a a lot less money by an American. 4. The priority is Dalton Schoen. Not Brady. Since we pass the ball more than we run, that makes him the priority. 5. Football is a team game. You need all positions & coaches working together to win. You can't win by just one person "willing" it. 6. How can Oliveira be that "infectious force" you claim he is? Inspiring Americans to not just look at the CFL as a stepping stone to the NFL when he's doing that now, himself? Or wistfully thinking that maybe a bigger payday will come elsewhere in the CFL.

PLD Part 2.

Vince Lombardi was this great coach with Bart Starr. Ingrate.

Carey is a decent blocker.

Running backs are though.

Miller doesn't coach the team. He has his duties. He lets Walters & O'Shea do there's. He stays in his lane. He does not interfere. A lot of that so called "quality" came with an offensive line that paved the road for Brady. Not many teams can do that for him. It's the guys up front that make Brady tick so replacing him isn't as hard as he may think.

The two running backs in Calgary. Ka'Deem Carey & Dedrick Mills. They have another back as well who is also a returner. One of those guys would do quite well here.

So, no one gets your point. Like what is wrong with this guy? Kind of flabbergasted here. Brady's sitting around Winnipeg saying he wants to explore his NFL options even though he has no NFL options. Holding up the contract process for other players who want to get their deals done sooner rather than later. I don't get the attitude with him. If I was Walters, I'd give him a deadline to sign a new deal. If he says no then he goes to free agency, we flip to an American in the backfield & go from there. If he has no intentions of signing here then sayonara. Good luck.

He's one of the top CFL receivers & the terms are good for both sides. Also heard that Dickenson said they can't afford to bring in another qb so Maier is his guy. One less CFL team to go to when he lands. The market for Brown is shrinking.

I remember Glynn Johns. She was in a lot of Brirish films in the 50's & 60's. I've seen The Sundowners a number of times, including Grade 11 or 12 when we studied the novel in English class. Then later we got to see the movie in the lunchroom at Churchill High which starred Johns & Robert MItchum, Peter Ustinov & Deborah Kerr.

I'm unhappy about losing both games in the final minute. Never should have happened. I don't care if it's hard or not.

Disagree. Look at the "promising" young qbs that Ottawa has absolutely wrecked in the last few years.. Nick Arbuckle, Caleb Evans, Dustin Crum. They'll eat him up & spit him out as well. Losing Mack is devastating for the Als.

Arbuckle was viewed as The Next Big Thing & instead he got caught up in the CFL rollercoaster going from team to team. Wasn't he cut & traded 3 times in one yera a few seasons ago? Taken advantage by lousy Me First coaches like Chris Jones. He was spit out & chewed up. He never recovered. I think he left Calgary in the same manner Brown will be leaving Winnipeg. Going to another sub par team for way more money. I noticed the Stamps never took Arbuckle back when they needed a qb & he was available. He may have burned some bridges on the way out of Calgary thinking he was better than he really was. Living here, that was the impression he left. That he was too good to back up Bo Levi Mitchell & there was no way he was ever coming back to be a #2 qb. I hope that's not the case here with Brown.

WTH Jesse with the roll eyes?? Are you denying that the biggest weakness on defense is our interior line?? If a team can't improve a position like DT after two full seasons then it has to be the DC's decision to go in another direction. The Bombers could have signed numerous free agents to fill that role. Once Stove left our D lost all of its physicality & intimidation. It's no coincidence when we really needed to be physical in the last 2 Grey Cups to win late in the fourth quarter, we couldn't.

Not upgrading the interior of the DL tells me it was Ritchie Hall's decision to play undersized linemen in that role. I just hope that changes. That'll make a huge difference all round for our defense.

What makes you think Brown would continue to play at a high level on another team? I don't think he's ready to qb a CFL team just yet. Nick Arbuckle should have stayed in Calgary one more season to continue learning under Dave Dickenson.
