  1. I agree that a ton of the posts in this thread won't affect everyone but that can be said for any other thread/topic on here. It obviously affected someone enough that they felt it needed to be posted so who are we to say what's worth posting to somebody else? The simple solution to either ignore the thread/certain posters or only comment if/when it appeals to you (which you admit you already do). The fact that social media exists and can serve the same function is irrelevant. Should the whole board be shut down because we can already comment on Bomber news on social media? We get most of our Bomber news & updates from social media and bring it here to discuss so why should this thread be any different?
  2. The idea that because a public figure doesn't know each person that respects/enjoys their work so we shouldn't talk about them, is ridiculous. I mean Bob Irving has no idea who most people on the board are but I guarantee that when his time comes, it will be a sad day here (and throughout the Canadian football community) and there will be tons of discussion about his life and career. People can impact your life without ever having met you and there's nothing wrong with that all. As mentioned earlier, if this thread isn't your thing, maybe you should just ignore it and not comment on it?

    They opened about two months ago I believe. I've been a couple times as I love shawarma. You can get more of a North American meal if the family isn't wanting to try something completely new. Their signature creations page has some different options like getting your shawarma on top of fries, rice or salad rather than in a wrap. I've tried the chicken "on the rocks" (chicken on a bed of rice) and it's really good. https://osmows.com/menu/signature-creations/

  5. That's a 2025 problem. Jones needs to worry about 2024. I don't think he has the job security to be worried that far in advance. If Ford can't show more improvement, he won't get a huge increase. If Brown only shows that he's the next Arbuckle, they can cut or trade him.
  6. Why would they have to dump him? He's still on his rookie deal so he's getting peanuts next season. They can still try to bring in Brown without moving Ford. Jones clearly isn't a huge fan of Ford and has already stated camp will be an open competition next year so it's not inconceivable that they take a run at Brown.
  7. I totally read that in Dunigan's voice.

    I read the CBC report and she really has nobody to blame but herself. She's changed her story so many times over the years, I don't blame people for being skeptical of her claims. These aren't new allegations either, her family has been publicly disputing her claims as far back as the 60's.
  9. It is a thing of beauty but I can't take credit for it. I think I first saw it on Twitter and quickly added it to my favorites! 😂
  10. So Winnipeg or another league?
  11. Rasheed Bailey
  12. Not on the leaders list because he was only credited with one knockdown. Betts is great at his one trick but beyond that...

  14. This also fits for his rebuilding of their OL, despite being GM for 4 years now...
  15. Beating out Bryant for the nomination is no small feat and could carry some weight with voters, even if they are ignorant to the in's & out of OL play.

  17. TSN was also showing 6:30 about an hour ago but now says 5:30 again.
  18. Hey now! Thems fightin words! 😂
  19. Only person willing to accept an interview with the Riders for the vacant HC job...
  20. Yep, I was in Halifax for the first time this summer. Wasn't there for long and they had massive flooding a couple days before I got there so it wasn't the best timing but I'm really looking forward to going back.
  21. I have been but I'm pretty much the same now. I've seen what I wanted (Vegas, Disney, Universal etc) but I'm not sure I'll ever go again. So many more places I would prefer to see and spend my time/money in.
  22. I've got my fingers crossed that every potential candidate turns them down and they have to re-hire Dickenson!
