Gotta say not happy seeing Woli & Lawler playing for the Ti Cats last night. It was still a shock to the system to see all the former Blue Bombers on that team even though we knew it already. I can understand releasing Woli & wanting to get more playing time for Clercius but Lawler? Currrently the best deep threat in the CFL at the moment. Walters better hope that Schoen plays every game, has a dominant season & get bogged down with injuries since Walters hasn't got a contract for next season. Neither has Osh.

He was saying he wants to bring in something even louder next season. Which if I was a ticket holder in Montreal., I'd be very much against. -

The Als are still keeping their selfish & entitled "Oh whoa is me" fans in the loop. Making them feel like they're important when they're not. -

Jake brings little or nothing to the table as a player anymore. He gets washed out constantly. He puts very little pressure on opposings qbs. Halfbacks on other teams shoot through the hole right by him & he runs on his tippy toes. You're not wrong. It's an ego thing for Osh as in, "Look what I can do as a coach.". We also get extra draft picks. -
Don't care about the NHL. Only the hard cores here will watch & discuss.

Jones was just an awful individual when it came to a lot of things but let's face it, you reward loyalty if you can still play effectively. You don't create loyalty by playing guys who can't do the things they used to do as well anymore just because of longevity. What does that do for the morale of the younger guys forced to sit it out on the sidelines while an aging & fading veteran still gets the majority of playing time? Where the loyalty there? Where the development? Where's the continuity of replacements when it's time? Lots of frustration from the younger players & that could explain why we can't seem to keep our guys for their second contract. Wally never did this. Neither did Huff. Don Matthews from all accounts was a great coach to play for. The veterans loved him but if individual performances of some of those veterans began to slide, those players were gone. That's how it should be. Someone like Jake Thomas should be told it's time to go. Give Jake a nice send off during the season but otherwise sayonara, goodbye. -

You have to wonder just WTH the Bombers are thinking. Pressure helps the back end. If you already have a talented defensive backfield hen hurrying passes from opposition qbs just eats offenses up. He had company last year. -

That's what happens when the football season is moved up 2-3 weeks & training camps start mid May. We have the SC playoffs going on in Canada. Everyone is paying attention to that. Especially media. Camps should be starting now with the pre season in June & season openers July 1st. -

Walters, Osh & Younger don't feel the need to upgrade the DL at the 0-2 techs either. Haven't since we last won the GC in 2021. Coincidence????? We play like we constantly eat Cheetos on the defensive line. Worst in the CFL. -

My co workers & boss were great support for me. I knew they cared & that meant a lot. I was selling postage meters for Pitney Bowes at the time. -

It could be health related. I doubt if he has any money concerns. I hope he has a wonderful retirement. Matty deserves it. -

I hope Mark plays. There's nothing he can change about his father's passing if he doesn't. I also think his Dad would have wanted him to play. Plus he's around his teammates who will support him. I lost my Mother in 1985 & I kept on working right up to the funeral just to keep my mind off my personal issues. If I had stopped working, I'd have gone crazy in my apartment alone. Afterwards, I took a few days off. Once my Mom was buried, I could relax as it was over except the grieving. -

What a wuss. We had temps here at YYC in the plus teens in January & February. Snow was gone the first week of March. I'm sure if he was playing in Buffalo, Chicago, Green Bay, Cleveland or Minneapolis, he'd have no problem. -

He's 64. Going back & forth between Toronto & Dallas the next 6 months every weekend probably doesn't have as much appeal as it used to. He also is having more issues related to the concussions he suffered as a player. Not surprising but still I'm sad to see him go. I think LaPo replaces him on the panel. The only one I'd cut is Kate which means she'll be there the next 25 years. -

First week basically. The season ends 2 weeks earlier than it used to. Grey Cup used to be played anywhere from the third to the last Sunday in November to the first Sunday in December. Cold weather really benefits Winnipeg. -

Too many soft & entitled fans complaining about going to games when it's minus ten in November so they moved the season up. They should start July 1st & make Opening day an event. Instead, no one cares about football in May so no one shows up. Except here. And comes up with a catchy nickname for you as well. If it's the Bombers, we lose a Grey Cup on that play. How do so many guys get hurt in non contact drills? -
In July, everything is open. Things are still closed for the off season. Outdoor pools aren't open. People haven't opened thir cottages. Plus that kind of heat just isn't normal. Things will get back into the swing of things this long weekend.

I remember the end of April or early May 1972 when I was in Grade 11. My father bought a used boat as we used to do a lot of fishing. Our other boat was just too small. It was pretty sweet with a 70 hp engine so I was excited. I volunteered to clean the boat inside & out as he wanted it ready to go Opening Day. I just about died in the heat cleaning the boat as temps were in the high 20's & low 30's.

Someone here lives in Thompson, I think Tracker, maybe? If he does, I can see why he doesn't drive to practice after work. You don't have to go to practice to be a fan. Yeah it can be boring at times when the coaches are inserting new plays & eveyrone is in a huddle looking up to the sky at a piece of paper held up for the players by a coach yelling instructions. -

Don't laugh. I read somewhere a long time ago that he approached the CFL & made an offer to buy the CFL. Vince McMahon would have been the sole owner of all 9 teams. The BOG's turned him down & Vince went ahead to form the XFL. -
