    Sooner or later political parties will figure out this never works, elect the best candidate, not the third best.

    Will they, though...? It's been decades and if there's one thing politicians demonstrate well, it's that they never learn.

    Was called The Dead Leg. The only reason I know this is because of the time Stanford Samuels came on OB.com and told us all about it. 

    Haven't heard that name in ages! He was a character. Didn't he and Taman get into a pretty ugly spat way back when?

    He's just genuinely fun to watch.  That mountain of a man has a set of wheels on him.  When he run-blocks down the field it looks like he's swatting away children in pursuit of a speeding ice cream truck.

    Kinda goes without saying when it comes good players. ;)

    Needless to say, he's been one hell of an asset to the O-line. Super happy he's a Bomber.

    It's worth a lot imo. He was brought in to compete at OT and made the team at that position. His move to OG has been very successful, but in a pinch I think it's been clearly demonstrated he is a capable OT.

    Bond was an excellent find last year. Not only is he a mountain of a man, he plays gritty and has shown to be pretty versatile.

    If Apodaca is any good when the lights come on I hope we 6 game him from a nasty case of hangnailitis rather than PR him and have Jones and his greasy hands try and poach another decent prospect QB off us like he did with Bennett. I have a feeling the riders will be in dire need of putting out a QB tire fire by LDC and would certainly not like to help them

    How did Jones poach Bennett? :huh:

    I don't have any clue why anyone thinks a Kevin Glenn/Vince Young combination is going to be a plus .500 team.

    I can't even deny it - the rest of their roster looks pretty good. I like a lot of their pieces. Their receivers are ridiculous, they've got a stud DE in Willie Jefferson, I like the looks of their OL for the most part and I think their secondary will surprise people.

    But they don't have a ****ing quarterback and that's really not something you can discount at all. On top of that, they don't have a stud RB to take any pressure off their mediocre QBs either.

    They're going to be dead in the water. I see them winning 6 games at most.

    Glenn playing the entire season could give them 6-7 wins, IMO. A Glenn-led offense in Riderville this season looks not too dissimilar (on paper, anyway) from last year's Alouettes' offense, not to mention he's also a year older. The Riders' backfield is certainly a question mark as well, but I do like the addition of Cam Marshall. It goes without saying but the health of their O-line will be crucial.

    Defensively, they have some nice pieces and I think that'll be the team's relative strength. Losing Cox hurts them, though.

    6-12 seems realistic, 8-10 seems optimistic. As long as they go 0-3 vs. the blue and gold. ;)

    The Bombers would have hosted. If the Bombers had won both the Bombers and Ticsts would have finished 8-10 but we would have won the season series.

    Right you are. Forgot about that part.

     That game was sold out, beautiful November day.  The boat game.

    Everything but the football game itself was pretty good. Oh, and the boat. :lol:

    I also recall Mike Kelly's apparent trainwreck of a team finishing 1 win short of hosting a playoff game. It was a bad season, no doubt about it... but despite everything we were in the hunt til the end.

    IIRC, the 2009 team needed to win the last game of the season to make the playoffs and avoid the Lions from crossing over to the East.

    The Bombers wouldn't have hosted a home playoff game, though. They would've still finished third in the East.
