I've never really used anything else but a safety razor. I tried an electric razor years ago but didn't like it. These new multi blade razors from Gillette & Schick don't give a better shave than a single blade razor.

Just thinking about the 2013 thru 2015 seasons. How bad we were at almost every position especially qb. And throwing every qb to the wolves. From Justin Goltz to Max Hall to Jason Boltus to Drew Willy to Robert Marve to Brian Brohm. They were all doomed. What those qbs wouldn't have given to be on this team today.

I've never liked the big specific threads either like 2018 Bomber Discussion or an Off Season Thread. I too, much prefer specific threads as they happen. As you say it gets very cumbersome. When I've been away awhile I find I have to go to the end of a thread like that & work my way back a few pages to get the jist of what is being discussed. So, you're points are valid. At least to me.

If Halifax had a 24,000-26,000 seat stadium Halifax & the Maritimes could enter Canadian mainstream professional sports like football & soccer. To me, it should be a logical next step... a given... that they build a stadium for the city. It's so overdue. It would be the best thing for the Maritimes. Until then, Halifax will always be on the outside looking in. Sometimes, I think it's all bluster talking about the CFL or the new soccer league in Halifax but no one is actually serious.

I got some good advice from you over the years so glad I spoke with you. You're no dictator.

Let's hope Streveler shows well.

I still think talking to you is always a good idea. I say that in a general sense if someone isn't sure about something it doesn't hurt to ask.

Yes, I feel the same way.

Once again, this is click bait aimed at myself & 17to85. All I'm gonna say is if you have questions, rather than throw up another thread which you so love to do, why couldn't you have sent Rich a PM & got his opinion & advice? He is good at answering back.

Amazing the Riders never signed him. They're like Vultures always picking the bones off the corpses.

For the money he'd want & questionable that he could be a fulltime returner, Owen's not worth it.

More likely how Clarence Denmark was handled. Informed by the Bombers that they would let him go to free agency.

Have you forgotten that in 2019, there will be a $2.738 salary cap on management, scouts & 11 assistant coaches for all teams? The Riders already have 15 assistants under contract for this season. Why would they hire a 16th when they know 4 will be laid off & the rest will have to take pay cuts? Some will be substantial. The Riders will have to make some tough decisions. They have a huge problem but won't have to deal with it for another 6 months.

Greg Battle, James West & Tyrone Jones in the 80's were as good an athletic group of linebackers then as there are today.

When they signed Eric Rodgers someone had to go so it was Parker. At least that's what is being speculated. A 7 year Canadian veteran receiver doesn't come cheap.

Just my opinion.

From Muamba to Hurl as starting MLB. Expect a lot of big runs up the middle.

We have one already Twenty six pages.

He called the Bomber organization stupid. Especially the scouts. He should be fined. I see he took down what he said.

Why the need to start this thread when we have one already? True Blue will start a thread that could be part of another existing thread. He does that all the time. We can discuss Bomber news on Rich's CFL thread along with other CFL news. This thread is redundant.

Some guys are wired different like Joe Pop.

There is life after football. Joe Pop retired at 29. Dave Sapunjis of the Stamps the same age, I believe. Both had ongoing business interests. I'm sure a lot of other guys have retired early & walked away from the game while they could.

We now have two 2018 regular season threads. Rich started one in May. It is 26 pages long.

Parker may leave or he may not. He had chances as a FA to go to other teams over the years but chose not to. He has a well paying job in Calgary from what I've read & he may not want to leave it. His entire family is in Calgary as well so unless the Riders or another team overpays I think he retires.

One stat that stands out for Manziel. No interceptions. I don't think he has a turnover at all.
