Bombers Off-Season Transactions
I'd just like to point out that Nichols is actually 4 months younger than Drew Willy, and it was only a year ago that Willy signed the big contract.

The Manny Show - Loffler was a hit
I was surprised that Manny was even still in the game. He took a hit a few plays earlier along the sideline where I thought he got his bell rung a bit. The commentators even commented about him limping a bit (which I would argue was more of an uneasiness due to the previous hit). Then he went over the middle and got hit (cleanly) by Loffler and was down for the count. I'm thinking that if it wasn't for the earlier hit, Manny probably pops up from the Loffler hit with little problem and there is no flag. I strongly feel that the flag came out because of how Manny took it and not because of how it was delivered by Loffler. As a few people have said here already, if Manny makes that catch, it's a clean hit to dislodge the ball. Based on that alone, there shouldn't be a penalty because Loffler didn't lead with his head, and didn't hit Manny in the head.

3 stars plus HH black n blue edition
HH to Nichols for his CJOB interview after the game... took the loss all on him and gave an interesting explanation of the first pick and what he did wrong on that play. Never heard a QB explain a pick like that and good insight into something us fans would otherwise know nothing about.

He won one challenge and lost one, so he didn't have any left.

Bruce Johnson Suspended
You're absolutely right, all of those other professions should be tested as well...

Bruce Johnson Suspended
I'm not saying that my kids are or aren't... the point is that there are kids out there who do... especially kids who aspire to be professional athletes themselves.

Bruce Johnson Suspended
It has nothing to do with being performance enhancing, it has to do with setting a good example for the kids who look up to professional athletes. I don't believe that recreational drugs are a good example for my kids to see, so I have no problem with the suspension.

Bruce Johnson Suspended
How did they get it wrong? These players are supposed to be role models for kids, and frankly that's not an example I want my kids to look up to. Maybe, like Super Duper Negatron, I'm too much of a square too, but I just don't get how anyone can see this suspension as being wrong.

GDT: Edmonton @ Winnipeg
I would argue that it is when there is blatant holding so our guys can't even get near him...

I believe the glass can be slid out of the way, so the whole suite can be opened up to the outdoors for their suites.

Bombers vs Stampeders GDT
The most frustrating thing that I found was that there was an early pretty obvious missed call that I noticed (possibly on a scoring play), and then a few plays later, the Bombers got a questionable holding call against them... definitely questionable compared to the missed Calgary one. It's really the inconsistency drives me nuts.

Bomber offense
I believe this was discussed a couple of weeks ago, but the generally accepted definition of the red zone is inside the 20 yard line. See Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_zone_(gridiron_football))

I think you're right... that being said, I've always liked Kohlert, so I'm going to assume he made a great block on Harris' touchdown run as well
