Restaurant/food thread
We checked out Firehouse Subs off of Regent this afternoon, we stopped by at noon and the line up was 25 long so we came back an hour later. Much more quiet at that point with only 3 customers in front of us, it ended up taking 25 minutes to get our subs. I assume things will speed up once staff is more experienced. The subs just like the other location are massive in size and really tasty. I think most people would be completely stuffed with the smaller size sub , it's really dense and full of meat. I also noticed two doors down next to Bar Burrito that a place called "Boustan" is coming soon. Yet ANOTHER shawarma place opening up... it's funny that for years we had none and within the last 3 or so years 5 places have opened up. When I saw the sign I thought it was a mini Boston Pizza... it had the same colors, almost the same name, a logo with what looked like was a pizza slice, and a similar font. While it's nice getting new things... I think this area is covered with enough middle eastern food restaurants. The area could really use a Jimmy The Greek or Thai Express.

Paging Bluto for his opinion and thoughts with being without Kelly for 9 games?

Drummond only had 3 - 1000 yard seasons... never lead the league in running only an all star 3 times. First 3 seasons won the Grey cup as a back up in Baltimore/two seasons with Flutie and the Argos. Went to BC and platooned with Millington where he was usually the 2nd choice. Solid B+ level player but never elite. A product of playing on some amazing teams during an era when people were racking up insane yards.

Four grey cup victories means nothing to me... Stegall has zero ... it's meaningless. Drummond is a fringe HOFer... for a few seasons he was oustanding... the other seasons he was platooning and not "The Guy". He probably should go in... but only if that year has weak candidates who are also on the fringe.

Dominant players do not play on the 3rd line in hockey. Role players/ depth players are good to have but cannot get paid the same as 1st liners. Role players and depth players are also significantly easier to find then all-stars.

Get them soon, Red Lobster may be filing for bankruptcy any day now from losing money on the endless shrimp promotion. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/red-lobster-bankruptcy-shrimp-promotion-b2539356.html

Bailey was not a dominant player, he was a solid and reliable guy but never a guy that I'd think would be a hall of famer. Jeffcoat is several years past his prime and on a downturn with his injuries. Far from dominant on a consistent basis. Grant is a dominant returner and he will be missed.

St Pierre used to have a great home made place called Oma's that sadly also closed down. I've had a co worker who has gone to Winkler and tried out Ralph's German Restaurant and said that it was authentic and really good. They also appear to have Rouladen.

Upcoming Movies
I was more so thinking that the trailer had the same music, the same shots of a young lion standing on the rock looking over the land, rafiki, same shot of baby lion running between the legs of a stampede of animals, what I assume is Timon and Pumba.... it looks very samesies as the Lion King. I'll be curious if it will be another movie that people will just wait for it is free on Disney Plus and if they'll go see Sonic 3 instead?

CFL PA What to negotiate for next?
It's tough, Football is more of an "old man" sport so with each year the audience of people who love the CFL purely for the game shrinks. I think what Wade is doing is the absolute best tactic of trying to bring in young people and families for the gameday experience. Over time maybe they can build some fans of the sport. When it comes to the tv/streaming audience it's really a tough challenge with the massive amounts of different entertainment options for the average person to select from. The XFL showed that gimmicks is not enough to build a large audience. You said that all the other leagues have grown exponentially , which isn't true as I showed in my list above. The NBA/NFL/MLB/UFC have global appeal and billions of dollars backing them so they can tackle the untapped markets and make even more money. How can the CFL compete with the NFL in doing the same? Not going to happen and they won't be able to tap into the US market either. Long story ... it is what it is.

Upcoming Movies
I honestly thought it was a trailer for the 2019 Lion King movie, did they really need a Mufasa movie? I'll be curious to see if it does as well as the 2019 which made a billion plus dollars. The last many live action remakes have lost money for Disney and they've basically written off Snow White and it's 250 million dollar budget. They need this one to succeed.

I did a few years back, it was good but more of a Canadian diner with some German influence in the dishes. Mostly variations of schnitzels with fries.

It was a chain restaurant that was across North America so not really special to only Winnipeg. I was surprised that Gasthaus Gutenburger wasn't on the list. That place is sorely missed and Winnipeg definitely could use a real german restaurant.

XFL.... XFL 2.0.... Arena Football League..... USFL..... Or are we comparing the little old CFL with billion dollar leagues like MLB, NFL, NBA?

I think Stanback is completely shot, he's not the same guy as he was 3 - 4 years ago. That is a big drop off.

I assume they didn't know before signing the lease, sometimes the process takes over a year before builds are commenced. I looked at the the Press'D web page for the other location, you are correct those sandwiches look underwhelming. Not as nice as Cha-chi's and more like a fancier version of the sandwiches you can get at a gas station.

Around The NHL 2023-24
Utah is booming with lots of people with money moving away from California to Salt Lake City. Lots of disposable income in SLC so it makes sense that they'd jump ahead and get a franchise.

Definition of throw the books - informal: to punish (someone) as severely as possible The term doesn't necessarily need to be used in context as a criminal matter. Are you not familiar with how message boards work and how people voice their opinions? Did you want to write down a list of what you want to read so that everyone can follow a template? To dumb it down since you can't comprehend, I said Chad is an idiot , but being an idiot shouldn't equal him being severely punished either by the league or legally or anywhere based on what has been presented so far.
