Riders didn't win another cup.
Would disagree with that assessment. Duke Williams, a healthy Shaq Evans, Kyran Moore, and Kian Schaefer-Baker are a very solid top 4. Maybe the best quartet of any team in the league.

Jersey's / Errata
Since we are on the topic of jerseys and errata, does anyone have inside info on when the new Grey Cup rings are being unveiled. And is it time we got an individual banner for each championship instead of lumping all the wins under one banner? Just a small pet peeve.

Me as well. Most of my purchases from Uptown are Team Canada hockey jerseys and other stuff (glassware, mini helmets) not sold in the Bomber Store. I agree money back to the club is important, but these guys deserve a shout out too.

I have bought many items from them. Great people, extremely helpful, and their jersey customization is cheaper than other places and all quality pro-stitch accurate to the era. Love that store!

How about the GOAT Mike Miller then? Fits that definition to a T.

Missed this local one from Wednesday night. Greg Brodsky - revered criminal defence lawyer in the city, although he hadn’t actually won a case of great significance in the last 25-30 years. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/winnipeg/2022/2/10/1_5776888.amp.html

Gosh, so many rules in the “how to be a fan” handbook, it’s hard to keep track of them all. What about former players in a current form of the jersey that they never actually wore?

Montreal has 8 wins this year, on pace for 14/15. They won 13 playoff games last year. As far as I can tell, no team has ever won less regular season games than their previous year’s playoff total. This needs to happen!- 2021/22 - CFL Offseason - Non-Back-to-Back Grey Cup Champion Thread

Oops. Doping. Stupid autocorrect.- 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
Figure skating team medal ceremony postponed. May be a doping infraction by the Russians. The Canadian team finished 4th so they could slide up to the bronze. Not sure what the team disqualification would do to each individual performer in their individual events coming up. Just a reminder that Russia is already “banned” due to a massive statewide doping scandal from Sochi. No dignitaries, no standing under he national flag, no anthem, and yet all the athletes still get to compete. And now they may have cheated again. Just another example of what a joke the IOC is. Kick them all out for another 10 years.- Game 43: Minnesota
“Let’s Go” by The Cars ”I Get Knocked Down (But I Get Up Again)” by Chumbawumba “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen ”Here I Go Again” by Whitesnake ”Dance the Night Away” by Van Halen or my two personal favorites: This peppy bubble gum classic by Carl Douglas which fits the whole “Shall We Dance” tongue in cheek vibe, plus has an awesomely cheesy video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bmfudW7rbG0 or this more intense rap classic by L L Cool J:- 2022 CFL Free Agency(Rumors/official signings)

Not sure what you have seen in his history to ever rate him that highly. He has never been thrown to with regularity. His best season was 2.5 catches per game. To hit 1,000 yards he’d need to average 60 yards per game, and in 3 seasons he’s only had 4 games over that total. His history paints as a Jamie Stoddard level contributor. Now maybe if they moved him inside to become more of a possession slot receiver, he would get more looks. But why haven’t they done that that with him?- 2022 CFL Free Agency(Rumors/official signings)

Disappointing. Our best tackler in the secondary, IMO.- 2022 CFL Free Agency(Rumors/official signings)
All the reports I read say Streveler wants starter money. That would likely put him in the $350,000-400,000 range based on market valuation. Whether he would actually command that once the dust settles is speculative, teams are spending at a decent clip right now, so maybe no one makes an offer near that and he has to re-evaluate. But he could make $225,000-250,000 just sitting on an NFL practice roster. If he’s going to ride the pine as a back-up, makes more sense to him to stick it out in The Show. Right now it would most likely take more than that salary to lure him back here. Not sure I see the Bombers spending $850,000+ on their QBs. - Around The NHL 2021/22
