Actually, what I would do is have all teams play against each other for a set number of games, say, oh... 18 or so.  Then compare records of all the teams.  Those at the bottom get eliminated, while the ones with the best records progress onto some sort of "mini-season" in order to determine the league champion.  That way, you end up with the stronger teams playing the stronger teams.  I could really see something like this working well.  

I think a fair number of them were cheesed off with last year's effort by Mr. Jones.
cause.....
They've got a  thing going on.
They all know that it's wrong, but it's much too strong
to let go now!
Can't believe they got rid of Durant. He's still really good.
 

I got excited for a moment, then realized he re-signed.

Due to how frequently players change teams in the CFL, I have two rules whenever I have a name stitched on the back of my jersey:
1. Player has to be retired
2. Player must've won at least one Grey Cup for the Bombers.
As a younger fan, it forces me to do some research into some of the older players that I didn't know about because I wasn't around when they played. Suggestions that satisfy this criteria: Kenny Ploen, Greg Battle, Leo Lewis etc.
Doing so means I'll never be stuck  in the awkward position of having the jersey of a player that went south (Chris Matthews) or signed elsewhere (Odell Willis). It also gives me a chance to learn more about the Bombers.
Just my two cents.

This is great news in my opinion and in the opinion of those that actually matter as a bunch of players have been saying it's a damn good thing. Some times, you need to just step back and not overthink these things, the players love playing for Oshea, that's quite apparent and the bottom line, in todays sporting world, you need a coach that players love to play for. The days of wooping ass and taking names in public is over, those coaches don't last anymore. 
 
Great news. Stability is the most important thing for sure. You look at every successful organization in the sporting world and what they have... stability at the top of the organization. Teams that change GM'S and Coaches every couple years, well, they are the ones who struggle the most. 

Despite my reservations about O'Shea, at least this is resolved. If nothing else, we have continuity and I am pleased with Walters' work.

Kinda 'sour suite' with this guy alright...just like 46201, which was Burt's apt. address on Bannatyne ...He could be a 'jerk' alright at times...Although he and Randy did play a Bomber game..a looooong time ago...I'll never forget the day I ran into Burt at a bar back in the day...He was sprawled out with his boots sticking out a mile from the table and I tripped over him...One of his goons sitting at the table yells..hey, don't you know who this is...apologize...I just looked at Burt and continued on and got my beer...A little arrogant was Cummings back in the day ,unlike Bachman who was a high school friend at Garden City collegiate...eons ago..
WOW ...that ain't football...BUT this is ... For a pic in 17'..I like this kid Danny Vandervoort  out of McMaster....O'Shea should like this guy as he's from his neck of the woods... Big with great hands and reminds me a lot of Jason Claremont in his prime

I hear he's kind of full of himself and is a prick of sorts but oh well. Most "famous" "winnipegers" are tho. Don't get me started on sitting behind Burton Cummings on a plane once. Talk about dbags.

It comes up on here often.....which numbers are retired, or "retired" by the Bombers. Ed Tait is doing a wonderful series on who's worn which numbers over the years http://www.bluebombers.com/blue-by-the-numbers/ And if you haven't been following along, you should be. Here's a little tidbit from it, that will come in handy to help quell future debates:
 
 
The Bombers haven’t formally retired numbers, but the following are officially no longer available to players:
11 – Worn by hall of famer Ken Ploen, the face of this franchise during his playing days from 1957-67 and later into his retirement. Ploen also wore 89, as did many players of that era who played both sides of the ball.
28 – Jeff Nicklin was a decorated Bomber from 1934-40 before becoming a decorated soldier in World War II, passing away on the battlefield in 1945. The winner of the Most Outstanding Player Award in the West Division is annually presented with the Jeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy.
75 – As a tribute to Tommy Lumsden, who played end, defensive end, tackle and guard for the Bombers from 1951-54 but passed away at the age of 25 in a Winnipeg hospital while suffering a gall bladder attack near Beausejour. The Tommy Lumsden Trophy is presented annually to the Bombers’ top Canadian player.
That information is passed down from one equipment manager to the next and Brad Fotty, who has been in the position since 1990, has since put Walby’s 63 and Stegall’s 85 out of commission. The same was done for Bob Cameron’s 6, but when the club signed quarterback Dominique Davis – who asked for that number – the hall of fame punter gave his thumbs up for it to be brought back.
Other numbers – like Doug Brown’s 97 or the 1 worn by Roberts – are not available for a few years after their retirement as a sign of respect, but with close to 90 players brought in annually to training camp, football teams simply can’t retire the numbers of all their greats.
Once a player is signed by or traded to the Bombers, he is asked for his top three number choices. CFL veterans get first choice in an unofficial priority list, followed by NFL veterans, draft choices and rookies

You keep talking like that and Roddy could get a woody. 

A quart of rye washed back with a 1/2 cup of ammonia will be needed to erase this mental image from my lobe.  Thanks.

Now that Dave "Sticky" Stala is gone I can't think of any.

Giguere has also re-established himself as a decent receiver with the Als.

Jones the "recruiting genius" with his head buried deep in the Bombers garbage pail.

So, if the Bombers are willing to pay $350,000 & Nichols wants $450,000 they settle at $400,000. That's the going rate. Bombers will have to pay.

Burris needs teeth whitener.

Now BLM needs to eat crow. I'm good with that.
