The RIP 2023 Thread
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?

The RIP 2023 Thread
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?

Restaurant/food thread
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/

Winnipeg Versus the Ponies Aka Battle of the Reserves GDT
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.

Winnipeg Versus the Ponies Aka Battle of the Reserves GDT
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.

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.- CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

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.- Random question of the week
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.- CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
