Man, Patrik Laine is 21. He hasn't grown up yet & he said things that some people took exception to. I don't think he'd say anything like that if he was 28. He reached out to Little & apologized & Little said he is fine with that. He even said he originally took no offense. If a young athlete can't be given some slack when they say things then neither should older people who should know better. And for the record, I'm one of the older posters here & get taken to task for my comments all the time. I think that Old Bomber Fan was a bit harsh on Laine.

WBBFanWest is right.

Actually, I do like him. I just thought a lot of fans were unfairly dumping on Nichols & blaming him for everything that was wrong with the Bombers. I was also concerned that the same fans that were angry at Nichols would also turn on Streveler if he struggled as I've seen it before. The most popular player on a team is the back up qb.

"Well, this is Streveler's team now."

My country: Keith Urban is a huge international star. This is good for the CFL & Grey Cup.

Then take off taxes & exchange & it's not as much $$$ as one might think.

No, I had forgotten.

Stats can be interpreted in many ways. Against the Argos & Als when we needed just a single first down to seal the victories in each game we couldn't do it. All those stats meant nothing, I'm afraid.

So, why the hell can't you just say that as an explanation the first time without making yourself look smarter than everybody else? I thought he injured himself as a Bomber & obviously I was wrong.

Just stop.

How expensive would Workers Comp be for CFL teams? Of course, it's more difficult when dealing with someone who lives off season in Florida.

That's the league's problem. Figure something out to help these guys who suffer devastating injuries. Pay for their physio & prescription drugs. Do the right thing.

Smoke & mirrors. How many of those points are from punt & kick return TDs as well as defensive plays? Our offense scores points but only when LaPo wants it to & it isn't this great well oiled machine.

For Hefney, the CFL & the Bombers let him down. Shame on the CFL & Randy Ambrosie for letting him down. The league talks about player safety but then refuses to take care of one of its own & this happens.

Too bad we didn't get the Als back to back the way the Lions got the RedBlacks. I would have enjoyed the Bombers beating up their 2 qbs. The Great Pumpkin & his beer swilling buddy Matthew Schlitz.

Something like, "The Canadian Football League recognizes that mistakes were made from the on field officials to the Eye In The Sky. In order to maintain the integrity of the league, we acknowledge that we must improve the level of officiating to ensure this does not happen again". That might help.

So it was completed. That's great news.

That's a 15 year old upgrade plan. Looks like it won't be happening.

Agree the ref should be disciplined. I don't know about being fired but he needs to be held accountable in some way.

I hope the ref was demoted to holding the sticks.

I remember yelling at the tv, "Mike Miller? WTF???" Frigging LaPo.

LaPo can neuter an earthworm.

O'Shea: Keep it on the ground. Run out the clock. LaPo: Okay. I'll just run Harris up the gut thru the 1 or 2 technique for 2 yards. O'Shea: Sounds good. Do it. In other words Mike, stick to something you know a little bit about, defense. Hall needs all the help he can get. Maybe this off season look for an OC who has a bit more imagination as a playcaller. Both need to go.

No, your question is a valid one. And it's one a lot of us ask almost every game.

He told LaPo to run the ball so obviously he doesn't want to run up the score. Thing is, as someone pointed out, just running it up the gut for 2 yards on first down every series may be not what O'Shea envisioned.
