Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman · 10m #Bombers RB Brady Oliveira, who has been out since Week 3 with an ankle injury, is doing some light running at practice today. Told me yesterday he hopes to be practising again in a few weeks. #CFL

The older u get and the more I live out west the less I want to live anywhere IN Sask... I've had opportunities to take jobs there, and just couldn't bring myself to do it. I legitimately don't know that I could live among Riders fans. My Bombers fandom means too much to me. And I'm not even kidding a little bit.

Well, granted, there's not as many with the Conservatives out of power.......... Cough.

I think Stoon is nicer than Regina, but I can't imagine a worse "city" than Regina. They're both basically a glorified Brandon, tho...

I gotta be honest, with Strev at QB I like Bailey and Petermann over Whitehead and Demski too. Bailey and Petermann are more traditional receiver types that give Streveler nice, easy pass options. I really like what Whitehead and Demski bring to the table in play making ability, and with an experienced QB they get my vote, but they do not have the same ability to get consistently open and provide their QB with safe medium range targets in the holes of the zone. Personally, I was hoping the Bombers were going to give Petermann more playing time this year. Bailey seems to have a natural receivers ability in his routes and nice soft hands.

well, it's been nice knowing you........but.........time for you to leave this forum, I'm afraid.

Drew Edwards made an interesting point on his exit blog from 3Down on why he no longer enjoys covering the CFL as much: There are a few other little things, all of which could justify their own self-serving rant. The inherent contradiction of competing with the CFL’s ever-expanding “media” division while also covering it; the ever-declining level of discourse in the age of social media; the perception that holding the league and teams accountable is somehow akin to hating them. These are minor irritations that, built up over a decade, became somehow burdensome. We're losing quality journalism with the CFL's own media team. While I like Ed Tait and appreciate everything he's done, I wish he still did it for an independent newspaper. Better than nothing I suppose but he pulls his punches now, IMO, which makes sense for him.

For me Peterman has always been a player you just knew was/is a talented guy...biding his time waiting to get his shot and make the most of it..Has the same kind of tenacity and drive as Streveler and I don't see how you can keep him out of the line-up going down the stretch...Sure is nice to have that kind of depth and Mr. Clutch is certainly a good handle...

Did you know... That Canada's toilet bowl is in Regina and the plunger is in Toronto

Still think our best lineup would be Adams-Whitehead-Peterman-Wolitarsky/Bailey-Demski Can't believe they haven't moved Woli to the inside yet - him and Peterman would be very hard to defend and provide very solid blocking

Looks like Rempel is also back 2019-09-17 WPG JANKE, Dexter LB N Saskatchewan Transfer To Injured 2019-09-17 WPG REMPEL, Chad LS N Saskatchewan Add From Injured Active Ros

I honestly like going with Bailey over Whitehead and Peterman over Demski. I'm not sure they are better players, but Demski and Whitehead seem to both give LaPolice incentive to run "gadget" plays instead of running a good offense.

You want to replace Little with Copp, Roslo, or Lowry? None of those guys are second line centres. Maybe Roslo can become one but he hasn't shown it so far.

No, he has one championship. 2010 with the Blackhawks. He's been with this organization since. And I don't even understand the second part. He doesn't get a shot at what if not for the youngsters...? Yes, not making this one change up front is the reason why Byfuglien is taking personal leave. Not his injury history, not his life after hockey, not his age, and not his interests/hobbies/enjoyment of life outside of the game... This is clearly all Paul Maurice's fault by not making a line change to the forward group that a defenseman is contemplating his future in the NHL.

all our receivers this year are a victim of circumstance...it will be a tough task for any to surpass 600 yards this year...but if we keep winning I'm fine with that. Woli has played just fine...had a couple bad drops...but over his 2 years here has made all his grabs...he also this year has done a great job with blocking, freeing up others..

We're already paying Kulikov our broken-player money. Once he's off the books, we could replace him with another back-injury prone player.

Hopefully we will/can rotate a steady dose of Demski/Woli/Peterman in varoius sets..keep them all fresh and also keep the defenses guessing and not sure what is being ran consistently I would like to see us as well use a DI spot on Bailey, and roll with all-national DB depth/back-ups and enable us to rotate Bailey in with Whitehead and Lawler, we have played a good 5 games with no Import DB as a DI and with Jones, Wright, Exume and Hallett all on roster anyway I am sure we would be fine...especially once Jeffcoat gets back and our d-line pressure gets even better...I think more offensive weapons/options for Streveler benefit us more than an import DB as a DI who may not get many snaps anyway as Jones comes in a lot as the extra guy as it is anyway

My level of respect for you has gone through the roof. I sold my soul for a couple bucks and a pension and they scoop it out with a real tiny sharp green spoon, but I'll always be blue and gold.

It makes tons of sense. He's looking at his wife and kids and not feeling the drive to get back on the ice. The timing is exactly that. I see it all the time with people at retirement age. They have the resources to retire but never felt the need to. But, then something happens or they wake up and say, "I don't want to do this any longer."

Saskatoon and Regina are small cities. You're not going to get the same amenities that you would in a large city. Winnipeg, for arts, culture and sport hits above it's size. We're lucky. But, if you like the small city lifestyle and like the amenities it has, they are great little cities. If you're a hunter, Regina and Saskatoon are great. If you like spending your free time in the nature, canoeing, hiking or whatever, Regina and Saskatoon are great. If you like great food choices and lots of concerts, Regina and Saskatoon are not so great. It's like saying Toronto is a bad city because the buildings block the view of the Lake Ontario.

I will be

Anyone going tonight? I really enjoyed it last year and am looking forward to it tonight. Exclusively for our Bomber for Life members, meet with Head Coach Mike OShea as he reviews the season to date, talks strategy and game planning followed by a Q&A period. Doors open at 6:15 pm, session begins at 6:30 PM.

Patrik Laine's agent Mike Liut was on Sportsnet’s Starting Lineup today. He indicated that Patrik Laine reached out to Bryan Little immediately regarding comments in Finnish news. Said 29 & 18 are "more than fine".

They should, especially since he would now be repeat offender.

Lawrence has (appropriately) been fined for this **** move.

Short answer is yes. Do you want the longer stats-filled version?

Pretty obvious Maurice played a huge role in this mess. All he had to do is switch up 55 and 26.. He didn't. 2 seasons ago.. Ehlers Scheif Laine dominated when put together. Dominated. Scored every shift pretty much. We all know Wheeler and Little have chemistry from their ladd little wheeler years. Whats the problem here? I dunno. But all signs point to a stubborn coach Why have 2 top lines tho when u can have 1.

The Fact Anaheim is on Faulks no trade list but Winnipeg isn't.. That's a sign of a good Minnesota boy. Is he ideal? No. Is he better than everyone on the team except Buff and Morrissey? Yup.

Justin Faulk? 🙂

makes sense being Canada's toilet bowl...as that province is basically a giant septic field anyway...havn't progressed to plumbing and sewer systems

Now, Now, we both lived there for many years, Brandon is many times better than either of those Cities. They aspire to being as good as Brandon

Just be forewarned, you really should not be hunting in Regina or Saskatoon.

Man if I could retire with 50 Mil in the bank and fish 12 months of the year, I would be the happiest sonofabitch you ever met. If there's maybe concussion stuff going on and you don't wanna risk it... Get out while the getting is good. As said earlier, Buff owes nobody anything...

Well, yeah. Compared to Regina it's paradise though. Compared to anything else, it's a hole.

Been pumping Petermann's tyres forever, now. Just get this guy more playing time.

So many rumours flying so I wont add to them by saying anything but the guy who told me it was Buff considering retirement said there was a physical ailment component to it. I think its a matter of having the drive to play through an issue or not. He has a lot of money but this year he would take home $8 million so you'd almost think one more year for your last big payday. Id assume this wasnt something he was leaning towards previously cause if so, Jets would have had a lot of money to play with in free agency. And they're clearly hoping he decides to play. Ultimately, he doesnt owe us anything so if he hangs em up, we were lucky to have him.

Regina is not a great little city. It's a hole. Saskatoon is nice, and I could live there if need be. But Regina? Jesus.

I disagree. There are certainly areas that have challenges, just like Winnipeg, but it's growing and evolving. Saskatoon and Regina are both great little cities. And, cities are made up of the people and, despite their green handi-cap, the people of Saskatchewan are great people.

Hes got a ton of cash.. Injured last year. Young kids. I'd consider retiring also at 34 with prob 50 million plus banked

No. It's because he has a young family and lot of money. He loves his downtime.

I'd love to see Derek Dennis come rambling out of a Domo kiosk in a red coverall to jump to the pump. People would be peeling out in fear at that sight. "Darn...I lost another one."

#11 has been out of circulation for the most part since 1967. It was worn during the pre-season in '69 & '70 because the Bombers only had a limited number of jerseys available. In that era the only numbers that the Blue Bombers had prepared 10-19 were 10, 11, 12 & 14. Harry Knight wore #11 on October 26, 1975 - that was an Alberta Golden Bears jersey so technically it doesn't count. #28 was last worn by Wylie Turner in 1986. It was taken out of circulation in 1987. #63 was last worn by Chris Walby in 1996. #75 was last worn by Stan Mikawos in 1986. It was taken out of circulation in 1987 - Mikawos changed to #77 #85 was last worn by Milt Stegall in 2008. #97 has been worn in a pair of regular season games by Ivan Brown (2015). It has also been assigned to a handful of players in pre-season as well as a practice roster player. #6 was taken out of circulation 2003-2009. In 2010 Frank Wilczynski was assigned #6 as a practice roster player. It was officially reinstated in 2013 for Brett Cameron. #1 was taken out of circulation 1938-1983. Todd Hons was assigned #1 in 1984-1985. Jeff Jenkins in 1988 was the first to wear #1 in a regular season game in over 50 years.

Pardon the wording, but he’s pissed and wants to prove something.

And this

Just think..with this weeks lead up to the game Harris has had essentially 4 weeks off to recharge and rest. He's gonna come out flying and prob stronger than ever..sadly if he comes out flat...or isnt his usual self people gonna say its cause he is off the roids

These posts always piss me off lol football players can be capable of doing more than just playing football you know

I have no knowledge but doing the taste test A & W taste like real meat and I get far less sick after eating with them in comparison to Mc Donalds.

boy howdy our roster looks a hell of a lot better for this coming weekend....
