Week 9 - The Champs at The Larks - GDT
Then the Als send out a tweet telling viewers to quit texting them as they like the horn. This is why the CFL is so Mickey Mouse at times.

Week 9 - The Champs at The Larks - GDT
I'm amazed the CFL allows that damned horn all game.

CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
Okay, Thanks for the explanation. Appreciate it. I just remember the days when the Bomber Head Coach, be it Jim Spavital, Bud Riley, Ray Jauch or even Cal Murphy would be asked a question about one of their injured players & they'd say, "So & so has torn knee ligaments. Out for the season". Or there'd be a press release that would say, "_________ has a separated left shoulder & is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks". As Bob Dylan sang, "For the times, they are a changing", Guess I gotta get with the program. FIFO.

It's very strange that Smono broke every crapstick button on every broad with his furry membranes.- Lock of the Week 9

Draft & develop players for other teams, you mean. Edmonton get the same weather as we do. Minnesota is no screaming hell in winter, either. I've been in Minneapolis in Deeember for a few Vikings games & it's just as cold. I'd like to see if a new GM would have the same philosphy. Of course, until Sleepy leaves we'll never find out.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
I bought 2 seats in 1974 & had them nearly 20 seasons. East side Winnipeg Stadium. Section V Row 29 Seats 12 & 13. My seats were $5 a game to sit on the 55 yard line. Imagine buying two seats on the 55 yard line for $10.00. It was $2.50 to sit in the North End Zone. The season cost me $100 for the season. Missed one game that entire time. I was in my friends's wedding party in 1984 & I had to go to rehearsal. that was the night the BC Lions came to town & we had a huge thunderstorm. It almost flooded out the stadium. The field had a lake & players were diving into the water hydroplaning. I was glad I was safe & dry in a church that night. Thanks, I remember that now...- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
I don't understand the reference to Fred Stamps or what it means but up until about 15 years ago teams used to announce the type of injuries players had & how long they'd be out. I don't recall any player back then claiming mental anguish by teams announcing their injuries & expected recovery times. Someone please explain to me the need for players to be protected. I really want to know.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
Why are player injuries personal? I've never understood this. Sports is a business & athletes are public figures. They accept this when they agree to play professionally. It's part of the job description. If a guy has a knee injury & he's out for 8 weeks, he's out for 8 weeks. If a player has a dislocated hip & is gone for the season then so be it. A separated shoulder & out for 6 weeks then he's out for 6 weeks. To me, it's nothing to do with protecting anyone or keeping injuries personal. Instead, it's teams not wanting to give away an advantage to opponents regading length of injury recoveries so it's kept a secret. With sports betting, teams should be announcing the kind of injuries players have & how long they're expected to be out of the lineup. Millions of dollars are being dropped every week. Protecting players is way down the list. Injuries shouldn't be kept a secret anymore.- Explanation for the run game.
Well, all's well & good but if you subscribe to the "Next Man Up" then injuries are just an excuse.- What's your dream commentary/referee game day lineup

The salary cap goes up $100.000 next season. The bar was raised on receivers thanks to Edmonton signing Lawler so Schoen will get north of $200,000 to sign here. Worth every penny.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread

What makes him think he'll get a legit third shot?? Brandon Zylstra lit this league up for 2 seasons before heading south where he's been sitting on the PR of various NFL teams.- Bo Opens His Stupid Trap Again...
I hope the Bombers use the Bo quote from this story as locker room motivation before their game in a few weeks at IG Field. Then as toilet paper after they beat the Stamps for a third time. Mitchell says that he expects the Stamps to improve as the season goes on. What and we won't?? That we won't get our injured guys back??? https://3downnation.com/2022/07/30/ive-beat-that-team-a-thousand-times-ill-see-them-in-the-playoffs-bo-levi-mitchell-defiant-after-stampeders-loss-to-bombers/?fbclid=IwAR0ploA1fYefzQ2AuYgEe14AP9Zz7LER4JLKMyJc3ovVyvr3WXp9f4kdJeA- Back 2 Back CHAMPS at Stamps GDT

I want to win every game. The better schedule starts after our break in mid August Week 11. Freaking Week 11??? Like WTH, CFL??? Get your damned act together with the schedule maker. Not only is it unfair. It's insane.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread

I wouldn't want my star player who is the face of the team to be so depressed that he wants nothing more than to climb into a hole & cover himself up for a week. Somehow, I can't see a real team leader doing that. Fajardo should be pissed about his knee injury but still excited to play the next game. I get the sense he wants out & to do something else. I agree with your description of him having a hero complex. Not good if you're a Rider fan.- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News
Bad for the league in terms of making the Lions a more dangerous team. He's talking on the field as well as wins & losses. What else do you think SDN was referring to? Good Lord. Everybody but you knows exactly what SDN meant.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
Wally dumped veteran players because he didn't want to pay them. Not because of their so called, "Best Before Date". He was a cheap bastard. If he could find what he thought was a cheaper alternative to a higher paid veteran which were younger players then he'd do that. He cut Allen Pitts to sign Travis Moore. Pitts was so upset that a man who said Pitts was, "Like a son to him" would treat him so badly. Even 20 years later with Wally long gone, first to BC & then retirement, still Pitts wants nothing to do with the Stamps. Then, two years later, he lost Moore to the Riders because they offered him $5,000 more per season. Moore even talked to Wally saying he'd sign with the Stamps if he matched the Riders offer & Buono refused. So, Moore went to the Riders & played very well. There's a long list of disgruntled players he did that to who played with the Stamps & Lions when he was Head Coach & GM of those teams.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
He says that every game so I take it with a grain of salt. He's on Twitter. I've talked with him a few rimes. He's engaging & respectful. Just trying to increase his followers.- CHAMPS vs. Flappers - early thread
Yep, that's how we got Bryant. That's the route I think Walters will go. - Week 9 - The Champs at The Larks - GDT
