MC got a reaction from Eternal optimist in Bombers vs Als Lead Up
Pat Neufeld practicing? Someone needs to do a DNA comparison to confirm this. I assumed he was in witness protection, so he may be taking his life in his hands by appearing in public.

That is not completely true. Like all of us, we love our money. But not like all of us, they know their window to earn it is limited.

MC reacted to Booch in Chalk Talk with Coach O'Shea
a guy leaving for another has no real intel to give...all the teams., especially at this point in the season know your schemes, plays, tendancies..so it's nothing new to them
The only thing they could expose is the verbage you call out for audibles..play calls, at the line, but generally teams change them each game anyway for the most part...the only real thing they have to offer is injury details..who may be knicked...what the injuries were for a guy coming back...

When the woman asked about the injuries, he did ask if Friesen had snuck in somehow.

MC reacted to JCon in Chalk Talk with Coach O'Shea
Not one person tonight was prepared to look Coach O'Shea in the eye and tell him how to run the team!
It was another great event. Coach was open and honest as much as he could. He shied away from saying who was playing this week, obviously.
He addressed a question about what Matthews could tell the Montreal about our play calling.
He showed video of Montreal and talked about preparing for them. He shared the stats on Montreal, like how often they call certain plays and when they call them.
He talked about not believing that a player can't lose his position when they get hurt.
He talked about the freedom the players have when they are on the road.
And he guaranteed a win on Saturday. Well, not the last one.

Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman · 10m #Bombers RB Brady Oliveira, who has been out since Week 3 with an ankle injury, is doing some light running at practice today. Told me yesterday he hopes to be practising again in a few weeks. #CFL -

Edwards was too polite to say it's Priders who go berserk on social media when they detect a slight. Local TSN radio host, Marshall Ferguson, said the same thing earlier this season.
Twitter is a digital psych ward and Prider fans have settled in nicely.

Lou Adelman wore #1 for the Winnipegs 1930-1937. Adelman started his career with the Tammany Tigers in 1924 and was a member of the 1925 team that played in the Grey Cup. When the Winnipeg won in 1935, Adelman was the only active player who remained from that team. Although few all-star nominations exist from that era, Adelman was unofficially delcared an all-star on numerous occasions (even in eastern Canada)
Officially, #1 was taken out of circulation at Adelman's request and would only be re-issued when Adelman's son was old enough to join the team. Adelman moved to California in 1945 but the number remained out of circulation.
Lou Adelman played one game (1 play) in 1939 so that he could qualify for the playoffs. The Blue Bombers did not have a #1 available for Adelman so he wore #53 in that game. Adelman did wear #1 in a 1941 exhibition game against the Columbus Bulls and again in 1953 when the Blue Bombers played the Liniment Bowl against the Calgary Stampeders (old-timer game). Adelman did enquire about the #1 in 1953 and he was told that no one had worn the number since he retired.
The Blue Bombers did not issue single digit number through much of their history (1951-1970).

It is worse than that. I often get the feeling that the media doesn't watch practices, talk to the coaches or break down games. I understand fans not getting it, but I would hope that media would at least do their jobs.

He is a seasoned vet. I would expect them to put him on the game day roster if he looks good in practice.

There is such a large gap between what the media thinks of players' value and that of the coaches. I know you would see a completely different list if the coaches were polled (anonymously).

Tight End Paul Markle wore #28 for 2 seasons in 1972 & 73. Brian Gervais wore it in 1978 & 79. I don't know if being awarded the Victoria Cross & dying for your country is enough to retire a player jersey, even today. In other words, we don't know what the criteria is. The team hasn't used that number since so you are probably right.

Brandon Dyson, and he was railroaded.
Plenty of guys in the league as dirty that got celebrated.
