They were done when they hired Marcel Desjardins & then later Sean Burke. Two guys who never won anything as a GM. Going back to 2013 Expansion Draft, & allowing an expansion team to raid other team's rosters in order to be competitive right from the start doesn't guarantee long term success. Killing one team to help another is stupid & short sighted. As the RedBlacks & the team's fans have found out. The team's record since their inception is 54-96-2. Hiring thw right people to manage, scout & coach are. What a tire fire of disaster that organization is.

Harris wouldn't take a paycut to play behind Brady but was willing to play behind Ouelette in Toronto. SMH.

My Dog barks at Rex when he's on tv. In the doggo world it doesn't get any better than that.

Okie, doke Gordie, I didn't realize in the first part of the 21st Cenrury, I had to spell it out for you. It's called medical science. We employ a number of medical specialists such as physiotherapists & surgeons. Each injury & surgery has an expected recovery rate from weeks to months garnered from years of medical study. And, while we're on this topic, I'll take your tact, What the hell business is it for you or any of us to know what players are paid? How is that going to affect you??? In no way does knowing have anything to do with your life.

This was to my knowledge, Gerry Anderson's first foray into children's sci fi on tv in 1960. I remember this show well. I used to race home to watch it after school on CBC. Then Gerry Anderson came up with Fireball XL-5 in 1962.

Am I the only one who thinks it's crazy that CFL teams will tell the world what they're paying their players publicly but a sprained ankle is still a lower body injury with no return date ever listed?

I knew you were being sarcastic. I was just stating a fact here. I wasn't impressed much with your comments last week.

Nye never picks us anyway so big deal.

We were once mods on a CFL site nearly 20 years ago. I found him to be unstable. The guy is wacked. He wanted to fight me as well. He hated the fact I was a Bomber fan & I used to make fun of Regina (which to him, is Mevcca). And I constantly reminded him of it. He's always been a fool.

He was the start. We filled in the pieces after that. Guards are generally the final pieces.

Last week you were telling us the Bombers were a bunch of cowards for not standing up for Collaros. That you wanted blood. Now you're concerned about fans being overconfident? Fans that don't play the game. You're all over the place. I think the babble you spew hurts your brain.

It was probably Migs. ******* loser.

The 1972 Western Final. Game tied 21-21. Four separate punts back & forth twice in & out of the end zone by both teams on the second last play of the game off a wide Jack Abendschan FG attempt by the Riders. The first place 10-6 Bombers Bombers flagged by those ******* officials for No Yards. Ball moved 15 yards closer to the goalposts. Abendschan's second attempt was good & we lost to the 9-9 third place Riders that season by a score of 24-21. A team we owned during the regular season. That game haunted me for 37 years until Cody Fajardo's pass hit the goalpost on third down on the last play of the 2019 Western Final & we beat those sodbusters in a similarily painful way that game. It took a long time but justice was finally served.

Brown doesn't have a big body of work to go on. You never know, he may be willing to stay here another year on a 1 year contract. He has to see guys like Crum, Arbuckle & Cornelius struggling & wonder if it won't happen to him on worse teams. Or.... maybe not. Just take the money & run.

Well, we said that about Harris. This is pro football & two thing are cerrtain. Players move around & things change. I remember when Dieter Brock was our qb, I never thought he'd leave here either. Or that he never wanted to play here anymore. Figured he was a Bomber for life. Nope. Glad that he feels like part of the Bomber organization again. It was him & his agent that felt they needed to go to the NFL at 35. In his book, he said that was the biigest mistake he made as a player. He wishes now that he had stayed to play under Cal Murphy.

Good for him but bad for the RedBlacks. Like Sukh Chungh who took the money & ran, for years after he left us he wasn't very good in BC. He needed great OL around him to be effective. He didn't make the Lions OL better or was a difference maker all by himself. The same with Desjarlais. Ottawa isn't any better with him playing because he doesn't make them better on his own. But Ottawa paid for him to be there instead of here. Desjarlais had great players around him here in Winnipeg. He doesn't have that in Ottawa. And just to be clear, I'd have loved Desjarlais to be here as in our situation, he'd have helped due to the veterans around him.

Simple answer is that football evolves & changes. During the Bud Grant era when they won 4 Grey Cups in 5 years, he used 3 running backs including two fullbacks at times. The Bomber passing game consisted of two receivers... Farrell Funston & Ernie Pitts. Today, with the sophisticated passing game in the CFL employed by all teams, we don't have a TE or 3 backs. Instead we have 3 more receivers.

Ha, ha, will this loser ever be back? If I lived in Regina, I'd lash out too. Because it doesn't matter if the Riders won or lost today, When they fall asleep at night o wake up in the morning, they know they still live in Regina.

He signed in late September & had been off & on NFL PR's. We discussed him here saying how long will he be willing to go without a paycheque waiting for a call from an NFL team? Ottawa desperately in need of any Canadian talent especially on the line massively overpaid for the guy.

So, I'm at the Banjo Bowl. If anyone wants to stop by, my wife & I will be standing across from the Bomber Store overlooking the stadium at or about 2 pm. I'll be wearing a Dieter Brock jersey with a grey beard & glasses. I'll be there till about 2:30. Please come up to say hello.

People in glass houses should not throw stones.

I like the final outcome of the simulation.

Everyday... I don't care about Scheifle but I wish they'd find a way to keep Hellebuyck.

Desjarlais did the same thing last season. He was cut by the Patriots waived thru the NFL but not offered a PR contract. He went home waiting for a call from Belichek that never happened. He eventually signed with the RedBlacks instead of us as they massively overpaid him & his presence is doing nothing to help them win as he's just a Canadian Guard. he'd have been a better & more effective player with us but money talks so he went to Ottawa. So, now he can lose but count his money after each loss like Levon did in a garage by a motorway. Ford will sit until it's clear to him that phone call he's waiting for will never come. And he's a DB that can help us but as a Sam Linebacker not as a corner.
