Stamps letting Derek Dennis go to free agency. Anybody else wondering why Hufnagel would let a perennial CFL All Star tackle go when his $650,000 a year qb is coming off major shoulder surgery? Stamps renegotiated BLM's contract to be able to have more flexibility with the cap & then cheap out protecting Mitchell's backside... On another note, Mitchell's GC & MOP rings were stolen January 2nd out of his truck while parked out on the street. Calgary Police made an arrest but the rings are long gone. Why would he leave valuables like that in his pickup??? If they were mine, they'd be locked away in a safety deposit box at my bank.

Don't forget Boltus & Max Hall....

I don't think you have anything to worry about in that regard. When my son was a high school qb here in Calgary hack in 2008 & 09 he went to a couple of Dave Dickenson passing Academy camps in back to back years. Pete worked with the receivers those 2 years while Dave worked with the qbs. He was a hard working coach who stayed in the background. Dave always had good things to say about him. From everything I've heard about the guy that is what he is about. Great assistant coach & team guy.

How long will it be before the Jets want a new & bigger building?

It made us contenders for two seasons. Now, we're slipping. Next year is the tenth season in the NHL & yes we have some really good players but it's more like 7 seasons of futility.

No brain.

No... The Bombers shouldn't just give up. Don't bring in guys that are in their 30's & long past their Best Before Date. Bring in FA receivers in their prime. And how much of those failures are on LaPo & that conservative passing offense he ran? Need a 7 yard first down? Well then, throw 4. Need 6 yards? Throw 5. Or he shut the passing game down with a 7 point lead.

Even a healthy qb can suffer a devastating injury. Who's to say Fajardo won't suffer an extensive injury & miss significant playing time. Football is a collision sport.

How can he not be liked?

Sign some meaningful & impactful free agents on July 1st. The Draft & Develop over the past decade hasn't worked out. Get a team that is a contender & not a pretender & the atmosphere & sellouts will come back.

Matt Nicholls has been released. I want to thank him for his play the past 4 seasons & elevating the Bombers from an also ran to Grey Cup contender. I want to wish him all the best wherever in the CFL he ends up playing. I agree that while he didn't get us over the finish line he got us in position to do it. Another reminder that a player's career in football can be over in the snap of two fingers because of injury or the path one was on significantly altered.

And that is why there is an obituary page in every major newspaper in the world. How would you suggest we honour every person who dies in the world today?

We don't know the people in China dying. Or the person who dies in a car accident, disease or is murdered. We knew who Kobe Bryant was. He wasn't faceless & he had a name. We know what he accomplished on the BBall court during his Laker career. Some fans had a very close affinity with Kobe despite never meeting him. His death affected a lot of people so therefore it's newsworthy. If you don't get that then there's nothing more I can say to explain it.

That's why most head coaches fail & never win championships.

The scope of the tragedy,his daughter as well as another girl being killed. And he was an icon. I am old enough to remember Martin Luther King & RFK's asassinations. Within 2 months of each other. Things went absolutely crazy. There was grief, despair, anger & violence. Riots in the streets of American cities where the phrase long, hot summer was coined.

I don't get the hatred for Kobe. There are people out there that are celebrating he & his daughter's death. I have a facebook friend who just said he was a rapist & there's no way he's celebrating his death or feeling sadness. There is just no discussing it with him as he won't listen & just hates the guy.

I've no idea how guys like Davis keep getting opportunity after opportunity.

This… !!!

For insurance purposes, we need a veteran behind Collaros. I expect that is what'll happen.

That & the fact he can't read defenses. ;)

All the tools... He'll be 31 this season. If he can't figure out defenses by now then he never will.

Kobe Bryant & his daughter along with 7 others killed today in a helicopter crash. RIP. I hate this thread.

Great old classic rock tune from 1972. Lyrics: Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles pilin' high' Bootleggin' boozers on the West Side Full of people who are doin' wrong Just about to call up the DA Man When I heard this woman sing a song A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just a five nine beautiful tall With just one look I was a bad mess Cuz that long cool woman had it all I saw her head up to the table With a tall walking big black cat Well, Charlie said, "I hope that you're able boy Cuz I'm telling ya she knows where it's at." When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I jumped down & across the table When I heard somebody shootin' a gun Well, the DA was pumping my left hand And she was holding my right Well, I told her, "Don't get scared cuz you're gonna be spared I gotta be forgiving if I want to spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a five nine beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess Cuz that long cool woman had it all Had it all... Had it all... Had it all.

He was a pretty good DC but that was as far as it went. Bill Belichek couldn't have won with that team of slugs in 2013.
