I totally forgot that Matthews was the first Bomber TD at IGF field
“Amazing. It’s amazing, man,” Matthews said. “Being able to just run on here and see the new faces around here and look at the stadium… that’s where I did my jump right there (after scoring the first TD in IG Field history). Yesterday we were upstairs eating and I was looking out at the field and I was like, ‘Man, this is where it all started for me, where I got my name.’
 
 
 

I thought he did.... I remember both dragons scorching the AotD
 

I'm all:

I'm impressed:
 

Hall had a good season last year. Nichols didn't.

Agree with a lot of this... BUT isn't it crazy that we're not talking about Richie Hall AT ALL anymore...??
Pre-Bighill Hall was basically to blame for everything while Nichols and Lapo 'carried' the team ha

Yeah Im excited that Nichols and Matthews already have some chemistry...  And that we have a solid backup QB if our starter falters or gets injured...

Day one training camp - Nichols vs Streveler debate... fun.

As mentioned, Neufeld and Harris were sitting out today.  The first-team offence was :
Matthews-Washington-Adams-Demski-Wolitarsky
Bryant-Desjarlais-Couture-Gray-Hardrick
Nichols at QB, Augustine at RB.
I had a tougher time nailing down the second team offence, but it definitely had OIiveira at RB, Streveler at QB, Simonise and Petermann as receivers.  Looked like the other receiver spots were Rasheed Bailey, Kenny Lawler, and Tim Wilson but I'm not 100% sure on those ones... I think they might have switched it up a couple times.  The OL looked like Speller at centre, Koczwara at guard, and Briggs/Baker on at the tackle spots... couldn't see who else was at guard.
I can't give you the defence at the moment, I was locked in on the offence most of the time.  Derek Jones was definitely the #1 safety and he is looking slim, trim and healthy.  Great to see.
One thing I can say for certain is that we are going to be absolutely deadly in the redzone with both Darvin Adams and Chris Matthews.  Already some chemistry developing between Nichols and Matthews.  Wolitarsky looked great as well, Bauming tweeted out his huge catch to start off the practice.  Hardrick grabbed the ball right after and tried to punt it into the crowd but it went straight up instead... that got a big laugh from everyone.  Love that guy.
I'm interested to see if we can find room for one of Larry Rose III or John Santiago... both looked really quick but they were not getting reps in the first two offence units.  Rose III in particular I thought looked pretty dangerous.
As expected, Bennett was running with the third team offence but surrendered some reps to McGuire as well.  Sawyer Buettner actually got one rep which I was surprised to see.  It was an overthrow that almost got picked but good for the kid getting some action in.
Should be lots of good competition at returner and the hands team gets a boost with the additions of Chris Matthews and Willie Jefferson... yes Willie Jefferson.  6'6" with receiver experence and he was getting some reps in on specials.  The returner competition looked like it involves Charles Nelson, Lucky Whitehead, and John Santiago.... definitely a few other guys back there too but it was hard to see exactly who.  Nic Demski is still involved as well.
Overall it was very much a "day 1" outing... hard to get a good read on anyone and it's wise not to jump to any conclusions.  The starters looked best.... Wolitarsky, Nichols, Matthews, Adams.  Augustine looked comfortable at RB and Oliveira is going to have to win that backup job from him... don't see Augustine letting go without a fight.  If I had to pick one new receiver who showed well it would be Kenny Lawler... looks like he has pretty good hands and I like his build as well... looks like a pro receiver to me.
Nice day for some football.  Noticed they have ripped all the seats out in the northeast and southeast corners in the lower bowl.  Not sure what that's all about.
 

Yeah totally!
 
I was just reading an article in the NYT- it was really brutal the level of criminality gets a pass when YUGE amount of money is involved. I mean, yeah I understand corruption and all that but the level at (aptly called) D.B., is astounding. 

Yeah, it was something to see those excerpts highlighted on their own. helps drive the message home. I especially like the fact she is giving the page # 

I have no clue as to why I want this guy to succeed over the others... but man I do.

I disagree, I don't think he needs to be spearheading the impeachment train to show courage- I think that when you do the morally correct choice and stand to loose YUGE politically, that takes courage in today's political landscape. 
 

What a surprise. Wrong information from that poster. He is invariably wrong. Is he honestly deluded, or posting misleading information without caring whether it's accurate or not? I would think someone doing the latter might rate getting suspended for a while, polite or not.

Finding mid round steals that other teams slept on is always more satisfying.

I don’t think he’s even shown up in Winnipeg. Assuming he is under contract that would be grounds for suspension.
Aaaaaand I get “trumped” again.
