I know I wouldn't put it past the Chinese to kidnap an NHL player & charge them with espionage to put pressure on Canada in the Meng Wenzhou case.

I can think of a million places I'd rather be than Beijing in February for a lot of reasons from climate, pollution to politics. I wonder how many players will turn down an invite?

NHL hasn't committed to the Winter Olys yet but the NHL wants to grow the game in China. So, I'm sure they'll go.

Well, probably not this sailing ship but it's still one helluva beautiful vintage CFL logo.

Way to go Booch. Great job!!

One of the biggest thing I don't like about LaPo's offense is just how long some plays take to develop. There'll be long play action fakes & it just seems at times the offense is slow & plodding. It's second & short. He calls a play action fake to Harris & throws out into the flat to a receiver. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. We have the best RB in the CFL. then why aren't we running the ball? Why make something so simple, complicated? That is the problem.

Polar Bear was probably a Rider troll.

I don't hate LaPo. I don't like his offense & the plays he calls in certain situations. We need 8 yards & he throws for 5. We need a first down & he throws underneath for 3. Second & long he calls a draw. Trick plays that work sometimes or get blown up. Very few throws downfield stretching the defense. Our wideouts were wasted. Nichols was a product of that offense.

I'm tired of these shitheads who are anti vaxers. They get sick & die well too bad, sp sad.

That was early in the game. Give me a break. The kid was tentative at the start & got better as the game went on. The OL also improved as the game went on. This is a freaking game day thread that was in real time.

Will Mike Reilly be put on the long term injury list?

Okay, Nichols is gone. You can turn off your hate for the guy now. He's not coming back. You've made your feelings quite clear here & on the Week 1 Non Bomber thread.

I was thinking about Training Camp Guy today & his fake reports.

Frosty never left... So, WTH? Wrong forum?

The crazy scrambling is part of his game. You don't want to tame his creativity. What you do want to tame is his risk of injury by getting hit. Scrambling can save him as well as hurt him. But that could be said for a pocket passer who stands in there & gets creamed.

Banks is a dangerous returner. You have to think he'd pop at least one of those for a big return if we tried to kick & missed. In this game, Field position, like points can win games. I appreciated O'Shea's conservative approach. As they say, Discretion is the better part of valour.

"I know a friend who knows a friend who knows another friend who told me." (Hey, we got ourselves a CFL Insider). Or,.. "Hey here comes your neighbour, Andrew. What should we tell him today? What a putz."

Japan is telling the athletes to clear out & go home in 48 hours.

If it was 2013 that would be a good reason.

Other than the Bomber game there's been no change in the broadcasts. Got me pumped that TSN was going to make improvements to their broadcasts. Just so disappointing.

Nick Arbuckle & Dane Evans sit on the bench of their respective teams. The RedBlacks & Lions should be on the phone trying to pry both out of their teams.

He isn't an NFL qb. He may be on an NFL roster at present but he can't play at that level doing what NFL qbs do. He's a niche qb.

I think the Bombers are committed to McGuire if Streveler is cut loose. Would they bring him back?

LaPo make a simple play complicted by throwing the ball on playaction on second & 2 & not get it.

With Davis they'll go backwards.
