  1. Dubois doesn't care,.
  2. You watch how hamstrung they will be next year when Nathan Rourke wants ZC typr salary of a half mill a year. How many of their FA's will stick around. They built their team to win this year with Rourke making $80,000 this season. They'll be in tons of salary cap trouble next season.
  3. Rider practice: "Where's Duke??"
  4. Were you?? Blink played in the 2000's. not the 80's. So there goes that theory. You know what? You win. I have better things to do then get caught up in a merry go round argument like this?
  5. Zach, this is an excellent video:
  6. Dickenson needs to just stop talking... https://3downnation.com/2022/07/20/cfl-suspends-riders-receiver-duke-williams-one-game-following-helmet-throw/
  7. For their time, they were fit. You can't compare eras as well as you can't compare what hockey players did in comparison to football. Hate to say it but Dale died in his 50's. From cancer.
  8. What does what Dale Hawerchuk smoking & beer drinking have to do with what players from the Bombers did to prepare for the season? Two different sports. In 1984, players in the CFL didn't show up to training camp 30 lbs overweight.
  9. Bad career move for Ray. That was a shitty team & he was fired. He had built something in Winnipeg & just walked away for the money. Cal Murphy tweaked it & he won a championship.
  10. Hill was always around the football. He blocked quite a few punts & FG's as I recall.
  11. What the **** is wrong with that organization?? Just goons & thugs. if the Riders or the CFL won't take care of things then the players on other teams will.
  12. Dominique Rhymes
  13. I find that Dunigan's voice gets lost in the noise of the crowd & gets washed away making him hard to understand. This happens a lot. They need to turn the volume of his mic up. I want to hear what he has to say & not try to figure out what he might have said. I don't have the same problem with Suitor or Forde. I can understand them pefectly. But Dunigan's voice just doesn't come thru very clearly.
  14. He's become a firefighter in Seattle. Seniority. The only way to get him out was to fire him & give hima retirement package.
  15. Not in 1984. Guys didn't show up overweight. They did in the earlier years up to the mid 70's but after that players were expected to work out, lift weights, do cardio & eat right in the off season as they do now. They were on training regimens. Training Camp is pure hell. Why anyone would show up 20 lbs overweight & then suffer for a month afterwards is beyond me. It's just stupidity.
  16. Yeah, very similar. The difference was we had Willard Reaves in 84 & not Brady Oliveira. Agreed. Too bad we couldn't keep all the starters on D from last year.
  17. They probably will be. Especially Shaq Richardson. If this doesn't get Williams suspended then nothing will.
  18. No idea why you continue to defend Rod Black. He was the worst football announcer who ever lived. No one came close to being as incompetent as Black was on TSN.
  19. Cal Murphy reallt built up the defense to the point it carried the team & won 2 more championships. That 88 team couldn't normally score but they found a way to score 21 points that first half in the GC & vs BC. Then let the defense win it in the second half. The 90 team was the best D I ever saw as a Bomber fan until now.
  20. I was coaching HS football in Calgary. This would have been 2009. We had our season ending banquet & one of the coaches was able to get Chris Jones as a guest speaker. He sat beside me at the banquet & we had a chance to chat. Seemed like a nice guy. The HC told not to talk about the Stamps when he sat beside me by our Head Coach so I didn't. I thought this was a strange request but I didn't talk about the Stamps as asked. He told our HC he wasn't with the Stamps anymore & asked that it be kept quiet. Jones got up. Talked about playing for & later coaching his HS team. Then moving up thru the coaching ranks & into the CFL in 2002. Then he talked about how Hufnagel wanted him to be more active in recruiting & the CFL Draft as well as coordinating the Stamps free agent camps. This turned out to be a lie as he wasn't with the Stamps anymore. Earlier that day he accepted the position of DC with Scott Milanovich's Argos which caused a huge shouting match between Jones & Huff. They almost came to blows beyween the 2 men. Story goes that he contacted Milanovich as the two were friends. They had a phone conversation & Milanovich hired him on the spot over the phone. He then tendered his resignation which sideswiped Huff as Jones had committed to returning the next season hence the expanding job duties given. Huff was angry & he basically threw Jones out of the Stamps coaching office. That's why I or anyone else weren't allowed to talk with Jones about the Stamps as he wasn't employed by them anymore. Didn't know anything about it at the time but the news came out the next day.
  21. And Tom Clements. Hey, I love Dieter Brock but Clements made a very good Bomber team a great one.
  22. I don't think he wants to play anymore. He didn't seem to care that he couldn't play in the Grey Cup. Some bridges you can't fix.
  23. So, do you think that Ripudamin Singh Malik did it or helped plan the bombing?
