He has played some special teams as recently as last season in the NFL and caught a handful of balls (16 receptions over 4 years in the NFL, but only 3 since 2015). He could very well prove to be a great addition for the Stamps but he is also a guy who had a single great season five years ago and hasn't seen much action since. Hard to know what they're getting.

and this is the reason there are very few people who post on this site... Can someone please explain why we have to search through 100 pages of content to get news about a 9 team league.... So many topics deserve their own thread, and might actually have some conversations going if they were visible by thread title.

I'm not surprised, the defence has been playing well for awhile now.

I dunno... I guess I give enough of a **** for my team to watch a loss on PVR to see what went wrong where.. *shrug*

Did we have Martese Jackson?? I think this year, specifically.... the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAF is a big reason NFL cuts are hesitant to come to the CFL...

I agree with a lot of people here... but I find it impossible to just "stop" being emotionally invested in a team... I go into watching some games thinking I don't really care... but as soon as the game gets close or any sort of adversity... I find myself very much right back into it... I was at a wedding last Saturday night and I pvr'd the Bombers/Esks game... luckily I was able to avoid the score and I watched the game sunday morning... I started thinking "we'll probably lose so I'm not that concerned"... the 4th quarter I was pacing, nervous and sweating despite having a 20 something point lead... If you're truly emotionally invested in a team, it doesn't just "go away"... and if it does, then you were never invested in the first place.... I've been a St Louis/LA Rams fan since the Kurt Warner days... and I watch the games and cheer for them... but I don't feel the same level of emotion... if they lose, they lose (I guess it helps that they're good right now and that level of emotion will ratchet up a bit come playoffs)... I don't absolutely despise the Hawks, Cards, and 49ers the way I do the Rider and Als (or whoever is playing the Bombers that week)... that level of emotional investment can only come with a lifetime of attending games and cheering for the same team...

Funny how they like to have it both ways. "This isnt a criminal investigation." "The evidence isnt nearly enough to convict him." Its a job interview. What business anywhere would hire a guy like this based on this background check? And I agree, lets assume all the sexual assault allegations are untrue. He's still a liar. He's still angry and bitter. He's still a striking partisan. And then there are his views. There is literally no reason to elevate him to the Supreme Court. The GOP acts like its him or no one. Its not. They get a pick. So pick a better one.

What a despicable human being. How can anyone defend this. Gross indency. Soulless. He just not like the way the investigation is going.

The only cure is more cowbell.

Not sure if he would or not. 2012 Chris Matthews would be great. Who is 2018 Chris Matthews? I don't know and neither do you or anyone else here. Guess we will find out shortly.

Out of all the years this year is the one that makes you not care anymore? The Mike Kelly era and the Lapo/Burke/Mack era was way worse then this...

Wow, this is a great highlight reel -- brings back a lot of great memories from my first five years as a bomber fan. Thanks for posting it

I would think $6 million a year Ehlers on the fourth line might be more worrying...

it's a little too early for a white out

Marchand? Repeat offender, scores goals, gets short suspensions. Example - boarded a guy head first. Better example: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/2017-18-nhl-suspension-tracker-32-man-games-lost-far/ Marchand got 5 games for this elbow to the head.

https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/canucks-road-trip-video-game-ban-terrible-laine-roslovic-agree-495076451.html Quote of the day : Laine to Jack Roslovic - "Terrible idea. I agree with you, Rosy. I think they just needed something to blame after last year."

Good. But, if he scored more goals, this would have been 5 games. The Department of Player Safety is a joke.

What's crazy is that parachutes were never a thought at the time. Course right afterwards they wore them.

You can google **** Cheney...or read his wiki page. He was a very powerful VP and many people "credit" him with the push for war in the middle east, enhanced interrogation etc. Some people feel he was pulling Bush's strings. He served many roles in his many years in government.

looks terrific (and yes, that's Christian Bale as **** Cheney).

NASA was super secretive at the time but it seems the official line is that yeah, they almost assuredly were alive and conscious after the explosion and it wouldnt even have been that bad (a hard jolt). So the question is whether they fell unconscious immediately due to lack of oxygen. Since at least 3 air packs were activated, we know very likely 3 were conscious the entire trip down. I also read that the explosion would have caused their oxygen feed to their suits to stop (hence need for emergency air pack) but if the capsule was not punctured at all, they'd need only life their masks off to breath the oxygen contained in the capsule.

When asked about what they did differently in the Esks, game in his interview yesterday, Hall basically said the players just executed better but it was the same game plan, same number of blitzes were called but better results. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/10/02/richie-hall-october-2/

So, from what I remember, I was told that the recording was done in Houston and that it only included moans ans screaming/crying. I honestly have tried to put the thought out of my head so could be conflating different things. What a horrifying experience. I would imagine that the explosion would have knocked everyone out and maybe later on some might have begun to regain consciousness. I guess we'll have to wait until NASA releases the file. In the meantime, I'll go read Snopes to put my mind at ease.

Thats been the big debate. Snopes debunks the audio tape story saying the systems went offline (the last thing heard was "oh no" by the pilot. 3 or 4 of the emergency air packs were turned on so we know for certain, they survived. The official story is that they cant be certain what caused death but its likely they all survived the explosion, but the question is whether they lost consciousness. Apparently 3 of the air packs were never found (after smashing when they hit the water). I believe it was 3 were activated (has to be done manually) and one was intact but not activated. That points to a loss of consciousness by some of the crew or else that 4th air pack would have been activated. The rumoured "tape" doesnt ring true to me. It sounds far too panicked to me. I mean, sure they knew they were finished and it was a long nearly 3 minutes, but professional military/pilots etc would be working the problem and relaying information...in my opinion. But who knows.

I can't see how it would be Petan.

Trumps next book which he will also not write

He is a frustrating Head Coach. I just don't know what to say anymore about the guy

They are usually family owned, and yes, the average herd is about 80 cows. They are often large, but they are not corporate. I believe the largest herd (in BC) milks over 3000 cows.

It's a tough job and a tough decision - no judgement from me. I get to live in two worlds - the teaching profession and farming. What makes farming worthwhile is being close to the land and the independence it brings.

Really, please don't wish injury on anyone. It's just not cool. We can be better than that.

I can't speak for anyone else but for me, the issue has been the raising of expectations over the past couple of years. We really did seem like we were on an upwards trajectory and that finally, we'd be seeing this team put it all together. I still have hopes, but I think that it's fair to say that at this moment, the team is not where most of us expected them to be at this stage of the season. Yes, things have looked better these past few games, but I know that my confidence in the team is not what it was in June/July. At the same time, I'm really beginning to get the feeling that O'Shea is a good coach, but he's not quite good enough. I'm not sure he's the guy to get us to the next level, but the idea of tearing it all down just depresses me. Not as much as living in Regina would, of course, but depressing never the less. At the same time, I know that there are more than a few "fans" on this board who are clearly loving the current state of the team because it gives them the chance to come on here and rail about all the things that are wrong, and how they are just so darned clever that they could see how much this team sucks before anyone else did. There are some regular "downers" on the board, and one or two contrarians (ok, really, just one), but there are also a few posters that you don't often see here when things are going good, but boy howdy, do they love to post when things are going tough. To me, that's why it's getting harder and harder to come one here.

I have no idea about your personal life... but for myself after having two young children the amount of free time I have at night is completely non existent. Unfortunately I am guilty of only watching the games on PVR if we win or if it's competitive... I don't like burning my 3 hours of free time per week on watching the team getting creamed. I do think we are close to being able to win a cup... just a few small tweaks would make a world of difference for the club. I'm a bit sad that Strelever didn't get the full season to grow and learn because long term I think he's the real deal.

I think this news really flew over my head, I guess I'm that excited for Bohemian Rhapsody and apparently this flew over my head too....you know when I was watching that Nat Geo 80s doc on youtube I had said that it's a shame that the shuttle exploded I would have loved to have seen what she would have taught while in space (because hey it would have ended up on youtube eventually had the disaster not happened) https://deadline.com/2018/10/michelle-williams-christa-mcauliffe-the-challenger-movie-cast-1202474790/ Go Home Hollywood you're drunk https://variety.com/2018/film/news/movie-videogame-dance-dance-revolution-1202965974/

I went through the same choice Mark. Didn't see why anyone would want to farm, after having spent my teen years on a tractor. Your take home pay worked out to about $.15 an hour...

No, it's that both numbers are ridiculous. Not surprising coming from Rod Black but still ridiculous. I've noticed the difference between watching the two leagues too. You watch an NFL game and they actually talk about what is going on in the game. Seems so simple. You watch a CFL game, particularly one called by Rod Black, and you hear a commentator who fixates on one or two players and just won't budge. It's really frustrating, especially when they just talk about whatever while the play is going on.

Ive seen guys like him a million times while working at the bar. The arrogant drunk with a chip on his shoulder who turns any minor disagreement into a full fledged brawl cause he knows he's protected (either by his friends, his status, or his parents). To be honest, from what we know, my take on this guy is, he's got a drinking problem (or did)...not an alcoholic per se, but his problem seems to be that when he drank, he drank a lot and he was an angry, mean, chip-on-his-shoulder drunk. Probably the result of low self-esteem...possibly from trying to live up to the standards of his family and classmates. Explains why he was supposedly a virgin until well into his 20's but would grope and assault women when drunk, primarily women who were younger than him or in a state of intoxication where they could not stand up to him. Some time in his 20's, he changed. Or rather, he stopped drinking as much. His social circle changed to where he was surrounded by more responsible and mature people. He probably began to realize the potential he had and was cognizant to avoid screwing it up. He became more self-righteous and entitled ans he began embracing the idea he was destined for greatness. There are likely more stories of him being a belligerent drunk in his 20's and 30's but we havent heard many...likely because of the people who would witness this (people more in his political and social elite class). His performance in the Senate show him to still be belligerent, entitled, easy to anger. Lying is okay for him because he's special and if his past behaviors costs him a Supreme Court seat, its the denial of destiny. So lying is justified. When he was an investigator for Ken Starr looking into Bill Clinton, his arrogance and self-righteousness was on full display as he wanted to uncover every single last indiscretion or dishonest statement. Because to him, Clinton didnt deserve his position. Kav probably thought it was his destiny to be there at that time to bring Clinton down. Years later, its still his destiny. When he says what goes around comes around, its both a defense (ie. Clinton's seeking revenge) and a threat (Ill get my revenge). When he openly admits liking beer, he repeatedly said "beer" because its rather mundane. He's hitting you over the head with the idea that he just drinks beer like every other red blooded American. Sounds a lot better than "I like hard booze and I like pouring that hard booze into the drinks of unsuspecting teenage girls". In his mind, "its just a few beers" is a catch-all for everything he drank and every time he got wasted. And here's the thing, *most* of what I wrote, I dont see as disqualifying. In a perfect world, a super-partisan hard right (or left) Judge should not be agreeable to the Senate. But whatever...to the victor goes the spoils. being a drunken frat boy in High School and College? Meh, who cares. Sexual assault in high school? I do think that disqualifies someone from being on the SCOTUS. But in a he said/she said, its tough. But here's the problem...HE thinks being a drunk frat boy is a problem, hence his lies. HE thinks sexual assault/harassment etc is a problem, hence his lies. And its those lies, not 36 years ago, but TODAY that disqualify him. Its his temperament and partisanship TODAY that disqualifies him. He didnt want an FBI probe because he knew he lied about mundane things, things he should not have lied about. And now he's caught. And he's FULLY in the pockets of the White House and GOP Senators who are his only hope of being confirmed. He made the bed he's lying in. And it has very little to do with events 36 years ago.

This is beautiful. A print of this would look so good in my living room....

Worst part of the cfl by far are rider fans.

The details of the stadium deal were shall we say less than ideal. However, the former government did get the Bombers a new stadium. Imagine if they had only agreed to limited finding...say $25 - $50 million to do a reasonably modest patch job on the old stadium (as Brodbeck suggested). That would have bought the team 10 - 15 years at most as parts of the stadium were already having significant integrity issues - something a cheap patch job would not fully alleviate. Unlikely the new PC government would have given the Bombers much needed funds to construct a new stadium given current austerity measures...and before you know it the Bombers would be having another stadium crisis in the 2020s.

I see what you did there. I'm going to have to keep a eye on you.

Riders win the Grey Cup. Book it.

You go to The Sun for your news?

They are .500 now so it doesn't count. 😉

Hey guys, we beat a team that was above .500.

I’m not really going to worry about stats in a Bomber victory. Mediocre stats in a Bomber victory is still better than fantastic stats in a Bomber loss..

Sports fans are the pretty forgiving. Tyson... Vick... All is good.
