Are you suggesting that you're going to become an Athletic supporter?

Going forward I will always think of Darian Durant's DD as Double-Doosh.

Because if they rolled forwards they'd just roll into the boat

Kirk Penton's been picked up by The Athletic to write about the CFL.

I'm just glad that Durant retired a Blue Bomber. #NeverForget #BomberForLife #OnceABomberAlwaysABomber He'll be remembered with the greats... Kent Austin, TJ Rubley, Kerwin Bell, Max Hall, and Russ Michna. It was his choice to come here and retire here. He signed the contract.

Corrected your statement

Middle of a potential Stanley Cup run and we're talking Madden trades... now that's an LOL

douchebag /ˈdo͞oSHbaɡ/ 1. a small syringe for douching the hooha, especially as a contraceptive measure. 2. an obnoxious or contemptible person (typically used of a man). 3. Darian Durant Raise your hand if you're a douchebag.

My name is Bud Ross and I'm Alex Ross' grandfather. The competition for the QB backup slot at training camp will be intense. Here's a brief introduction of Alex with some history: As a freshman at Alpharetta High school, Alpharetta, Ga., he led the freshman team to an undefeated season. Coaching changes at Alpharetta, prompted him to transfer To Buford High School, Buford, Ga. Because of transfer rules, he couldn’t play varsity until his junior year. He led Buford to Georgia State championships his junior and senior years. He virtually owns the record book at Coastal Carolina University. He thinks, lives, and breathes football. Happy to be on board, Bud Ross

He's like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of quarterbacks

yes that is true. If being a ******-bag is now going to be called being a "Durant", perhaps the Pick Six should just be called the "Kevin Glenn".

I heard he returned his signing bonus because he thought it was the right thing to do rather than be a ****** bag.

I think Daryl Hackney was the name of the guy you're thinking of. Randall was a good athlete, but bad qb.

All the best of luck to your grandson. Word of advice, if he eats, lives and breathes football then he should hang really tight with Buck Pierce. There is a guy your grandson should emulate.

Ummm, that's easy. You need a mommy fan and a daddy fan that love each other very much...

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming 30m30 minutes ago Watching #Bombers QBs Chris Streveler and Alex Ross during Day 1 of rookie camp this afternoon... different skill sets, but both look like capable pros. They’ll battle for No. 2 behind Nichols. I’m lead to believe Winnipeg will not pursue another veteran option. – at Winnipeg Football Club

it does seem pretty stormy these days...

to be fair every pick 6 is very kevin glenn like.

That pick-six he threw at the 6:30 mark was very Kevin Glenn-like....

Yes it was 100% his fault. He was the GM, HC, OC, and QB coach. There is no one else who bears any part of the blame.

Wasn't Mike mostly responsible for that as well since he was also the GM at the time?

Wednesday, CBC, Sportsnet, NBCSN at 8:00 p.m. Tagline: "Pinawa Dam at Hoover Dam" Storyline: Jets try to avoid the Vegas flu and re-take control of the series. Quote: “What happens in Vegas (on the road) stays in Vegas (on the road)" - every bachelor party ever Quote #2: "Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas.....No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted" - Hunter S. Thompson Fun facts: Winnipeg is 8-1 in the playoffs when they score the first goal, 1-4 when they do not.....Vegas is 7-1 when scoring first, 2-2 when they don't......in the regular season, the top 6 teams in winning percentage when they scored the first goal were Tampa Bay (.837), Vegas (.829), Washington (.811), Nashville (.804), Winnipeg (.787) and Boston (.784).....the top 4 teams in winning percentage in the regular season when scored upon first were Boston (.467), Tampa (.462), Winnipeg (.428) and Washington (.422) - Vegas was sixth (.415) and Nashville twelfth (.387).

I for one am glad that Rich doesn't handle membership the way the Bombers are handling DBs thus far.😀

Glad to hear that Travis Howard got to retire as a Bomber....

Sad to hear about Coates being released...

Pressley had a very impressive TC with the Vikings in 2016. Highlight reel stuff. If not for some very impressive depth ahead of him he may have made that team. Could be a sleeper pick for surprise of TC.

I was referring more to Buck's work ethic and dedication. In every facet.

Simeon Rottier retired from the Eskimos. A bit of a hit to their OL and NI content.

More Canadian depth at runningback can’t hurt. With our depth at Canadian receiver being pretty raw we might see LeFrance/Harris on the field at the same time with one being more of a slotback. So having more Canadian depth on the roster at runningback may be essential. It’s not a bad idea to for the team to give itself options.

Johnny Augustine! I remember he was being talked about as a first or second round pick in 2017, then nothing came of it.

Subscribed to The Athletic over the winter for hockey content. Highly recommend it. The research and effort they put into articles is something I haven't seen in newspapers .... ever. Never thought I'd actually pay for news, but happy to pay for quality. Hope they can do the same for CFL coverage this summer.

Watch Darian Durant screwing over the Bombers leads to 1. Grey Cup win in November streak ender 2. Team finally develops there own QB

OK now I might actually have to subscribe to The Athletic. Would I rather pay to read articles by Friesen, Wiecek, or Penton? HMMMM TOUGH CALL!

Robert Bean's wife wants to know what you are smoking.

Cato is a coach's worst nightmare, he's got PTSD from growing up in a combat zone. Here's what he's been doing since leaving the Als. Fired from coaching Miami Central H.S. Arrested in Miami on a fugitive Gun possession charge out of Tallahassee. Cut by Richmond Roughriders Arena Football team with the following notes. Rakeem Cato, the highly regarded QB from Marshall University, has been released. Despite putting up solid numbers opening weekend, his locker room presence had proven to be too disruptive for the team. Owner Gregg Fornario said: "Cato is a terrific QB and a great competitor but he wasn't seeing eye to eye with the coaching staff so we felt it was best for the team if we went in a different direction."

Nothing wrong in bringing him in. He got some experience. 2015-2017 Games played 11 (9 in 2015) Completion 144 Attempts 218 Yards 1726 TD 7 INT 9 He's a big guy 6.4 221 too.

I hope Zach Mahoney sticks around just so that we can post this all year:

I think it's awesome that May Long and TC coincide this year. Forecast of sunshine and 26 for Monday!

Demski and Wolitarsky to start. Simonise and Peterman to backup. Not sure who makes the pr.

Manziel and Kaerpernick are entirely different cats. Manziel has shown some very troubling personal conduct issues, whereas Kaepernick took a principled stand against systemic violence perpetrated against minorities that have been around even prior to the birth of America. Whether Kaerpernick wants to come to the CFL, or if he can adapt to the Canadian game are still to be determined. So far as I know, he has no desire to come to the CFL, but he was a damned good quarterback.

Welcome to our occasionally fractious group and we all hope that Alex shows well. That he has an MBA should mean that he has smarts enough to adapt to the CFL with rules that often confuse the heck out of American players who come up here. The wider field, extra player and motion along with the three downs are difficult for some to adapt to.

https://www.cfl.ca/2018/05/15/argos-release-quarterback-jeff-mathews/ Welp theres a qb with several years of cfl experience available.

A few years ago, maybe. Its hard for a MLBer to deserve to be the highest paid defensive player in the league. Now should the bombers be willing to over pay, and or risk a cap wrist slap? I would say yes. Our vet talent is peaking. We cant expect 2+ years more at this level for a bunch of guys. We no longer have a proven vet back up qb, we have the cap room and we have missed out on 3 major impact mlbers. Bear woods twice in the past year and a bit. Randle is 29 dressler is 32 harris is 31 mo is 31 bryant is 32 nichols is 31. Dressler has had his injury problems, mo is coming off one of the biggest injuries in football (short to medium term/career term) Nichols got banged up a bit last year with a better ol in front of him then right now. It is reasonable to expect that in 2 years half those guys will be gone. + the possibility that some one like poop could be gone in that time range to the nfl as well. (idr the length of his contract*) Now is the time to risk it and make the moves to win today. Im not saying empty the cupboards and go all in, but we need to be a buyer. Not a seller or inactive.

I wish. Does Bighill deserve to be the highest paid International Defensive Player in the CFL?

I made the mistake of skimming this and thought I read Blue and Gold.... nearly had a heart attack lol .

I think Chevy will find a way to make it work. He seems to be doing a pretty good job. But we will inevitably start to lose good players.

What's going on with the Jets is great and I'm really enjoying the playoff run, but the weather is getting better and it's time for Blue Bomber football people, let the hype train begin

OK I'll get back to you in 20 years.
