Irving is a professional....in fact, the consummate professional. Unarguably the very best at what he does...

Yes, in fairness, i'm only 39, but old-template radio pays my mortgage, so I'll always go to bat for it. But I'm also a huge fan of CJOB and have been since I was a teenager. (I have forever been a senior) I used to listen to Peter Warren call in stuff while I was working my summer job in my late teens. I worship Knuckles. During CFL months, the Knucks-Tait-Brown pre-game on CJOB is maybe the thing I look forward to most each and every week. It's just fantastic radio. My wife, who is all of 32, has become a massive fan of the full CJOB broadcast, and sitting around listening to the post-game interviews with players has become one of her favourite things.
Okay, old man ranting done for now....

I’m not as opposed, as some, to bloggers, new writers, opinion givers, or even media writers. It’s not an easy task. Some get get it right, and some wrong. That’s when we can have fun roasting. A lot of it is opinion and if you don’t like it...move on.
I like to read all information that’s put out there involving the CFL, especially now in the down times. 
I can read it and decide for myself what’s relevant...just like in high school.
Ha!

Time tested way to avoid  being arrested on drug charges: Dont travel with a large amount of illegal drugs in your car. 
It works well.

Burnham is a great receiver, it’s hard to argue with that judgement. 
The Riders definitely blow though.

There is no team with competent management that is going to pay any player 290k in FA this year. This year is a market reset, we've seen it at QB already and it will continue with position players. Last year was an anomaly because GMs felt the SMS was going up by more than it did. Now teams are back pedaling hard off of last year's numbers. Willie will get a number more in line with Biggie's. Teams do not have the SMS this year because a crap load of SMS flex went away with rookie contracts raising so significantly.

I love Willie Jefferson. But, I also trust that Kyle Walters will not overpay for a position where there are other options. Lesser options, but, options that can provide 75% of the production, at 50% of the salary. Ja'Gared Davis potentially, as some have mentioned. Actually had more sacks last year. Not as much of an impact player, but, still effective.

Some people are really over thinking this Feoli-Guidino signing... he likely came cheap, will play special teams, provide leadership, and emergency depth in case of injury... or maybe not even make the team... really a low risk signing...

For sure. The only criticism i have of Lapo's scheme is when he went ultra conservative too early or didnt open up the playbook early enough when were down. Other than that it was smart football. Too many people judge an offence by their adrenaline response instead of the actual results.

Elimimian will end up in Toronto or back in BC - guy can still transform a defence
 

Hate to break it to you but the short yard passing is simply winning football. Instead of turning the ball over when a play isn’t there the team gives its best player (Harris) a chance to break a tackle or two on second and long. It may not be sexy but we’ve been one of the highest scoring teams in the league since 2016 and we’ve won a lot of games with that formula. It’s not exciting football but it’s winning football. 

Agreed to some extent.  Easier to pad the stats in garbage time.  But the Bombers have shown over the years that QB's without something special won't be able to do that anyway.  
He is worth what they are paying him.  Time will tell if he turns into a winner.  He has good mechanics and has heart.  Will see if it translates.

What I learned from watching this game is that the Grey Cup was more entertaining and I appreciate how focused our Blue were compared to the 49ers.   After the 2nd interception the 49er players were posing in the end zone and "acting" up and at that point I realized they were going to lose.   Totally unfocused,  the coaches kept getting overly emotional whenever a call didn't go the way they wanted.   Made me appreciate how good of a job O'Shea has done with this club. 

Yeah, that 7-2 start certainly didn't help the team make the playoffs or anything. Oh, wait...
Also, your bolded part is wrong. Nichols' QB efficiency vs. CGY in week 9 was 100.2 (in a win), while Streveler's in week 19 @ CGY was 59.2 (in a loss).
It looks like your NDS is starting to flare up again, causing you to post made-up claims and hopelessly ignorant comments. It's amazing the lengths you'll go to vilify the former. And by amazing, I mean pitiful.

The year the Bombers lost the semi final to the lions at the stadium with Nichols as QB, if they hadhalf the defence they had for the last part of this season, the Bombers would have demolished the lions. (nice sentence!   )
NIchols played really well in that game, and deserved a win, the defence absolutely stunk, five Bombers missed tackles on a fifteen yard run for a TD in that game, just awful defence.
Crapping on Nichols is dumb.

I would have debated some of your points, but if this is your default position, that our 7-2 starting QB had nothing to do with any of our success at all, then there is really no point in trying to reason with you.

Love how everyone who complains about the dysfunctional offence pretends it had to do with the LaPo system and Nichols checkdowns and ignores the fact that Streveler taking over the controls coincides with the decrease in production (and wins).

Not sure what the panic would be for Nichols.  Unless someone pays him starter money, he should wait for June/July.  He will have lots of time to prove he is 100% and someone will break the bank for him to come in and save their season.  Starting QB's will go down and someone will get anxious.  He will be offered a 2 or 3 year deal (to get the signing bonus under the cap) and be paid good money.  Last summer Kevin Glenn was fielding multiple offers to get off the couch.  The Bombers were looking for him and Drew Willy.
Nichols just needs patience.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don’t believe a wr is a huge need on the list. Not to say they shouldn’t sign one but I could think of others. They have their Canadian wrs locked up, plus lawler, and Bailey/whitehead/Nelson fighting for the slot. That leaves on wr position open. With some of the recruits coming in, I think money could be spent elsewhere. 

Aside from the one great TD from Whitehead,  I can't remember seeing him do absolutely anything else during the regular season.  

That was two months ago. You need to stop living in the past. Some people here will boo this team if we lose a bunch of games next year. 

Gotta love the Bomber fanbase. Some fans are upset for signing Zach Collaros for so much money. The guy who won us a Grey Cup for the 1st time in 29 years. They wanted to see him to go to free agency to see what other teams would pay which is laughable as then he'd sign elsewhere. The same people bitching & whining about Collaros would be the same ones complaining if we let him go & signed Nichols. There's just no pleasing these people & quite frankly that side of the fanbase that constantly complain no matter what they did are a joke.
