I'm not going to argue this because I have zero emotional investment it the rules of the NFL, but if you think the normal play of hockey is the same as sports where teams take turns playing offence and defence as defined by the rules of the game then you are being deliberately obtuse.
You don't like the CFL overtime format because there's no kickoffs or punts?  Fine.  They both suck for different reasons.

Football is the only sport where in overtime the potential for only one team to get a turn on offence exists.
In hockey the comparison would be only one team getting a turn on the shootout.  The other team gets a turn only if they fail.
In soccer the comparison would be only one team getting a chance to take penalty kicks.  The other team gets a turn only if they fail.
In baseball the comparison would be only one team getting a chance at bat.  The other team gets a turn only if they fail.
In all three of those sports, each of the defending teams has a chance to stop the offensive team.  And yet if they failed to do so, no sane person would argue that the structure was fair because "they could have stopped them".  So why is that argument used in football?

It's not similar at all. In the NHL both teams have an equal opportunity to win from the opening faceoff in ot.

Hockey is totally different, it's a fluid game where the action naturally goes back and forth, in that scenario a sudden death format is completely equitable because both teams have a chance to get the puck right off the opening face off, in football though one team gets the ball based on a coin flip. Sure you can say stop them and get your own chance with the ball but to have the potential of losing without ever getting  a chance with the ball is a tough way to lose. The shoot out that the CFL uses might not be perfect but I like it a hell of a lot better than sudden death OT. 

You've actually disproved your point within your own post... You're right, Kyle Walters does have a specific QB budget: $X for starter, $Y for the back up and $Z for the third stringer (obviously there's some fluidity to these numbers)... they couldn't get Glenn signed for $Y so they will try to use that money on a different back-up (or split it between Davis and a new 3rd or something, I'm not a GM)... but either way it has no affect on $X budgeted for the starter...
Also, this release doesn't necessarily close the door on Kevin coming back... he may test the market and if there isn't anything else better out there he gives Kyle a call to renegotiate....  

If it truly was to make room for Nichols under the cap, they would have made sure to sign Nichols first with that extra room in mind. so that they knew what space would be available for Glenn.  I agree with other posters that it was basically a good will gesture towards Glenn.  Once Nichols is signed, they will know how much room they have left for Glenn or any other QB that they may have in mind to bring in.

My thoughts exactly.  The press release says they couldn't come to an immediate agreement... meaning the Bombers need see how much $$ is left once they sign Nichols.  Once that's done, it's possible that there's still room for Glenn.  In the mean time, they've done him a courtesy and he gets to kick tires around the league to see what other options he has a month ahead of other potential free agents.

You have these great athletes and in a play where you can display it you have guys running down the field to 70% of the time pick up a football off the ground. Ill take the odd missed no yards penalty to have more excitement in the game.

the fair catch rule is one of the worst things in all of pro football....

Grey Cup 2016 was kind of like the 2016 US election, not sure you want either to win but you know someone had to LOL ...

Stamps are arrogant assholes, more breaking news at 11. 
 
If it was anyone but ***** Burris beating them I'd be enjoying their pants shitting a lot more but Burris is as much an arrogant ******* as anyone. 

There are reasons for the league to not acknowledge a link. You get the commissioner up there saying there's a link and suddenly you're opening up a world of bad legal situations for the league. People gotta stop taking every word someone says in front of a microphone as gospel. 

Tactics Comrades - tactics 

It's not exactly central... You Winnipeggers are spoiled, even with heavy traffic it's still a pretty small city that doesn't take long to drive across. Really a lot of the complaints about the location to me ring out as more of the tried and true Winnipeg attitude of "change is bad"

I'm not sure having 25 - 30k people leaving the downs onto a single exit (the perimeter) would be any faster than exiting the U of M.  There are also very few restaurant and bars within a reasonable distance as compared to Pembina.
I think that anywhere they built the stadium there was going to be a subsection of the fans that felt alienated, have a longer drive, and they wouldn't like it. The biggest problem the Bombers are facing are that first impressions are sticking impressions, and that first year was executed so poorly that the the conception out there is that it is a bad location and hard to get to and out of.  Since that first season, I don't find it bad at all. 
Tried the park and ride for the first time for the Heritage Classic and found it to be actually pretty convenient and quick.  Didn't hear any complaints or issues for the heritage classic about the location, mostly because it was an event people really wanted to go to and were excited to go to.
If the Bombers can start winning again (sustained), people will be convinced to give the location another chance and I think find that it isn't all that bad after all.  Then we will go through all of this again in 50 or 60 years when a new one gets built some place else and people will have all the same complaints because at the end of the day, people just don't like change.

Wow...it never ceases to amaze me when I pop on here and read this type of crap.    
You want the guy who gave us a 1st round pick for Drew Willy?  He also let Harris go and stayed with ol' man Ray.    Barkers sheen has worn off and right now Walters is leap years ahead of him.  Milanovich is a good coach but it was evident that even he showed his weakness when he had to play an not ready for prime time QB. 
So, not in a million years would I want that duo here. 
 

It you're not incredibly optimistic about next year, then you haven't been paying attention... 

The way our offense had been playing in the second half, I had way more confidence in Medlock than anyone else on the team...

No it makes perfect sense. You just aren't understanding that hard contact football, you know the way it is supposed to be played,  is now politically incorrect. We have the mamby pamby media, politicians, and alarmists running around telling us how a beautifully executed text book hit like Loffler's should be eliminated from the game. Mamby pambies.
I have little doubt that even though my opinion is correct from a football purist point of view, that many on here will strongly disagree with me and take issue with it. Why/ Not because they could give 2 figs about Arceneaux's melon....it's because the other night they sat down and watched the media proclaim it as barbarian and then flipped over to Netflix and watched that stupid Will Smith movie about it.
That my friend is a textbook definition of it not being PC.

This pretty well sums up my thoughts as well. I thought the hit was a clean, tough, football play. If Arceneaux is in possession of the ball it's not a penalty IMO. Loffler committed himself to the hit, and at full speed it's impossible to stop. He didn't hit his head, he made contact with his chest.
I feel bad that Arceneaux was injured but as other posters have said it's football, and its a rough game.....

And then if Manny catches the ball, everyone is questioning Loffler for easing up and not playing to the whistle.
To be honest, this might not be a popular opinion with some people but last I checked, football is a job that these guys willingly participate in. It's not slavery, they're not being forced to go out there and compete in a barbaric sport that puts them at risk against their own will. For that reason, while I prefer to not see a guy have his brains scrambled if all things are equal, I don't care to see these hits removed from the game. I hate that what would've made highlight reels 20 years ago is now picked apart. That's a beautiful hit and I'm going to cheer every single time Loffler lays a guy out like that, medical implications be damned.

So, we want to get back on the ole 2 yr coaching carousel.....yet again.   MOS has made some mistakes, but in the larger picture, should be retained.....
Walters should be a slam dunk....
 

Anybody who wants to fire the coach after we were 11 and 7 is just being ridiculous. 
I'm all for getting rid of Hall but MOS did a hell of a job this year and deserves to be back.
