What does this mean? I'm sure they all give 110% and leave everything on the field. They're probably taking one game at time and not worried about the post-season. They're putting in the work and expecting results on the field. The young guys are learning what it takes to be professionals and the vets are leading the way with their leadership.

Thanks.

Sorry, I totally read that as with the Jets. Not sure how I did that.

That's a good point. But doesn't he have to clear waivers on his way back up? I'm not always clear on how that works with the beginning of the season stuff. Oh, boy, Lemieux to start up, eh? I like the idea of that but I'm not sure he's ready. I suppose he'll have the chance in the preseason to earn a spot.

The price is right for Tanev but, without a two-way deal, he'll be sitting lots and not developing.

It went off accidently late in the year a bunch of times during one game, including during the plays. I believe the operator injured his hearing. There is now an actual cannon again but we haven't heard it this year, AFAIK. I would be surprised if they went to the effort of putting a cannon back up there without actually using it. I would be disappointed if it were gone completely.

I tweeted that out during the game without response. Of course, I also tweeted out complaining AGAIN about the terrible BP fan cannon, so maybe the Bombers are tired of my complaining.

I don't disagree but until then, you have to stop smacking these receivers downfield. Either it's a rule that they follow or they remove it. Can't say that if the refs don't catch it, then it shouldn't be reviewed.

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. They killed us. They killed the offence and eventually wore out the defence. In so many ways, they outplayed the Stamps but handed everything back to them. You don't make all those mistakes and the game is won by the Bombers.

It's a perfect day for football. Go Bombers!

And it is the Oilers. Thought he fit here too.

Just looked out of my office window in downtown Winnipeg and it looks like there are already some people tailgating in the back alley. Although, at that pace, they may not make it game time but I like their spirit! For The W!!

It's time to open the bottom drawer and close my office door.

Of Jones or the QB?

With this weather, this team and this crowd, IGF will be rockin' tonight!! I'm so pumped. I might leave work now and start tailgating.

Oh yeah, that alone pushes him to the top of the list. Now I'm angry again. I shake my fist at you, once again, Tim Burke!

Now we're going to lose and he's going to point at you in the stands when he lights up the Bombers tonight!

The risk/reward rests entirely with the organization. If the Jets do well, it may cost a bit more to keep PoMo but if they don't they're not paying beyond this year. I hope they wait too.

Matthias is not a trade candidate. They've been adding depth and he's exactly the type of depth they need. Only way he's traded is if they have someone who is much better but that can sit in the pressbox for stretches. I don't see that on the team.

It's game day.

I like that Loffler is channeling his inner Baron Van Raschke, threatening the Riders with the Claw!

It was probably a professor.

I don't see how the record going into a game has an effect on the outcome of the game.

Exactly. He represents the business interests of the league. It's not a zero-sum game. Improving the Argo brand also improves the league.

Up to Jets to decide the years, 1 or 2 years. I wonder if they'll take 2 knowing that he's going in as the 2 (or 1b) goalie and may not get much of chance as the 1 (or 1a) goalie, hurting his negotiations next year?
