He might still love the city but Suber had previously tweeted something that implied he is not a fan of Etch. Someone had tweeted something about the Bomber D being to small to stop the run & he replied that it was the system not the personnel (or something to that effect).

This. I have concerns about every candidate running so I'm still very much undecided. I want to like Bowman but some of the things he's said don't make me all that confident in him. His plan to finish all the legs of BRT is so unrealistic it's not even funny. His ideas to help revitalize downtown are mostly already underway or have been considered by city hall. TUP pretty well nailed Steeves so I don't have to comment on him. Judy has run the smartest campaign by mainly not saying anything which is also a draw back IMO. She's letting Bowman & Steeves drag themselves down but hasn't really given people a good reason to vote for her. I've been intrigued by some of the ideas from guys like Falcon-Ouellette & Sanders, but I just don't think they are high profile enough to take on the big 3.

Agreed, 4 is the best version. I was seriously dissappointed by 5, I've got it tied with Revolution for PS3 as my least favorite version.

I sometimes play Civ 4. I was a beta tester for the game and still have a soft spot for it. Civ 4 was the first civilization game I played since the first one and it was a lot of fun. I played a Civ for PC a while ago. Not sure how late it was but I think it was around 4 or 5. Pretty fun. If they had a CIV for android phones I'd probably get nothing done. This! My wife would kill me if she knew how much time I spent (and still do!) playing CIv. I'd probably be unemployed and divorced if they had Civ for Android.

I grew up an Oilers fan (no bandwagon, I had a family member on the team). Loved the original Jets (unless they were playing Edmonton) too. Haven't gotten into the Jets 2.0 but I do follow them since they are the home team and we're bombarded with them in the media. Maybe one year they will give me a reason to cheer for them!

The analysis GB posted did say this guy could line up at fullback so maybe he's not here to play on the D-line!

You driven around The 'Peg lately? Roads are bad all over the country. A lot of it is simply to do with weather. Go to North Dakota or Minnesota, where they get the same weather, and see how nice their roads are compared to ours.

The province also contributes to the city's infrastructure. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/Province-unveils-five-year-infrastructure-plan-248580601.html

And some of it is legitimate. For example, the big cities carry most of the political clout. There are 'paved' roads in rural MB. that wash out right down to the gravel, and don't get fixed for half a year. Rural people 'put up and shut up' more than many realize. I can show you city streets where this happens... it is not strictly a rural problem.

http://www.theprovince.com/sports/football/bc-lions/Ullrich+Harris+sets+high+target+rushing+attack/10196379/story.html Everyone knows our D-line is beat up & our run defense is suspect (at best) but is it a smart move for Harris to talk like this?

Woldu deserved the fine. The official was positioned correctly and Woldu could have avoided him. Please. That is the very definition of a stretch. It wasn't like he steam-rolled the ref. He basically brushed into him. Haha actually maybe you should watch the replay again... I don't think he deserved a fine, but he absolutely steam-rolled the ref... I was ok with Morley getting ejected in that game... I don't actually know what happened but he's not the kind of guy to just lose it for no reason... I assume he was sticking up for a teammate, which I'm ok with... the o-linemen gotta be the enforcers... Who came in at center once he left? I was too drunk to tell at that point. Hinse

There's a couple media guys that are... and unfortunately they are the ones that get talked about more. We have a couple good ones too though.

CNN is reporting that there are other witnesses and they have cell phone video of their reactions immediately after Brown was shot. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/10/us/ferguson-michael-brown-shooting-witnesses/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

Brohm will be a 4th rounder based on where we are in the season (was a 2-4 round pick based on games started). And yes I stated Portis was a conditional pick. I'm aware. I was clarifying for everyone else. Don't worry, we all know you said it first. Thanks for clarifying my message that was already clear. Not to interupt your pissing match or anything, but your original post was not clear that they were both conditional picks. You said we traded a 4th round pick, not a conditional pick which will turn out to be a 4th rounder.

Ouch... with Thaddeus Gibson still not in town, it looks like it might be Booker in there for Vega. Kuale at DE ? crickets... Okay, I'll say it. I don't hate the idea. He might be better suited there. Or at least open up a spot in the middle for someone who is better suited. And it's not like we've gotten any pressure from the outside line lately, so even if he does nothing, it's not a downgrade. I'll go hide under my desk now. If it lead to him getting more dumb penalties (roughing the passer comes to mind), then it would be a downgrade.

I like bauming but... that seems to be the key words there Ed Tait @WFPEdTait #Bombers new DE Willie Mosleley just went down in a heap. Walking off now; looked like knee #bn Paul Friesen @friesensunmedia #Bombers DL Willie Moseley down with what looks like a knee injury.

Pall has been added to our PR along with Shea Pierre.

Yeah, agreed. I just posted it cause it looked neat. But I'd want to be there for longer then a day. I could do a one week all inclusive to Cuba (including flight, hotel, drinks and food) for less than that. You're either exaggerating or picking a shitty resort. If you go when it's not peak season (travel in Oct-Dec) , you can definitely get those kinds of prices at decent resorts in Cuba.

BC does the same thing (they call it Operation Orange) but it's even more expensive - $1599 + tax to go to Ottawa or $1099 + tax to go to Calgary. The only difference I can see is that the Lions throw in a custom jersey while the Bombers give you some sort of souvenir.

Should we take up a collection to bail Dirty30 out? Nah, he clearly didn't do a good enough job so let him sit in there for a bit!

Was Booker practising the axe kick already?

I'm happy that Suber is going to get a chance to play, he deserves it. He is a class act on & off the field. It's a double bonus for him in that he's going to a team that is more than likely going to be playing in the Eastern Final.

Ray Rice is suspended for the 1st 2 games of the season
