Game 26 : McJesus @ Saviour Stafford
The police allow it. They could say no but they have some twisted view that "peaceful protests" trump every other person's rights. Maybe Bowman is telling them not to stop the continuing protests that we see during rush hour. It would be easy to stop it yet they don't lest they be called racists. Yes, do it at the legislature not at Portage & Main. People would probably respect them more if the protestors did.

CFL 2016 Grey Cup game up on You Tube
It's extremely hard to like Henry Burris when he complains about every team who has cut or traded him. He had a great game but he tarnishes his reputation every time he opens his mouth. As far as Bo Levi Mitchell goes, I hope he learns a bit of humility from that loss while still early in his career. Eating some humble pie might be the best thing long term for him.

Around The League Off Season Discussion
Reilly is a franchise qb. He had had a few injuries but seemed fairly healthy this past season. I think he is the face of the Eskimos. That would be a shocking event if he was traded to another team. Speaking of teams, when will the Argos make the move at head coach &/or GM? They've had nearly a month to figure out what they should do. I thought Milanovich would have been gone by Wednesday.

Maximum Value for our 1st & 5th picks
Still need to build the Canadian content with the team especially at receiver & the DL so I don't like trading our first pick either. Although at #5 there may be players who can help us who won't have the stars of the NFL look in their eyes than at #1.

Hitler never did anything to you, either. Do you have a poster of Adolph in your room?

Nichols Contract
I just read he snatched Bennett off the PR? The PR?? I thought Bennett was part of the main roster? What a waste? Why did we have him on the team just to lose him like that? Actually all players on the PR are Fa's once the season ends. Great.

Nichols Contract
Bennett intrigues me more than Davis. I'd be more than willing to see his stock rise on the Bomber depth chart.

Will Calgary become a "Dynasty"?
Dynasty? LOL!

Nichols Contract
We have 2 draft picks in the 1st round. I don't want us to send that first pick to Edmonton for an unproven rookie qb. We need to still build our Canadian content. If the Riders trade for Franklin & dump Durant, good for them. They'll win 3 games instead of 5 or 6.

Nichols Contract
So, if the Bombers are willing to pay $350,000 & Nichols wants $450,000 they settle at $400,000. That's the going rate. Bombers will have to pay.

Trudeau Eulogies
Life's a beach in Trudeau's world. All flowers & sunshine. This is just typical Trudeau shill. How many stupid comments has he made over terrorist attacks in Europe? "Canada stands with the City of Paris". Canada stands with the City of Brussels". "Canada stands with the people of Belgium". "Canada stands with the people of France". Meanwhile, Justin does nothing. He needs to go stand in the corner. If Trudeau says he has these countries backs, they're in huge trouble.

Trudeau Eulogies
Pierre Trudeau was a member of the Canadian Communist Party in the 50's & was a labor organizer in Quebec. He later became a Liberal when he entered federal politics. So, you know Justin was impressed by Castro as his father was enamoured with him. Two fellow communists talking by the fire. I don't agree that "All of Canada mourns". No, Justin does so don't include the rest of us.

Will Calgary become a "Dynasty"?
Could be but I think Mitchell is a far more consistent qb than Henry Burris. The weather will be good & the track fast. The RedBlacks won't be able to run on the Stamps like they did against the Eskimos in the snow. The RedBlacks receivers are phenomenal. As a group better than the Stamps but the Stamps running game with Jerome Messam spelled off by Roy Finch are better. Stamps defense is very, very good. I think the Stamps ST's are better than the RedBlacks The other huge advantage is Dave Dickenson. He called a game in the Western Final that totally confused the Lions defense. He is a great offensive schemer & play caller. Mitchell has played in his offense for 4 seasons. They both know the playbook inside out & sideways. They both think alike. However, the Grey Cup is a 1 shot deal & not a best of 7. As it is a single game championship, we know that even though the Stamps are favored, anything can happen "On Any Given Sunday".

Waste of time ...
I probably don't. I am not as knowledgeable as you when it comes to the Jets. I read your posts & you are certainly clued into the team on a day to day basis a lot more than I am. I just know the team isn't performing well. Goaltending & injuries seem to be the big issue. I just think it's unfair to solely lay the blame at the feet of Paul Maurice. That's all I really have to say. I could be totally wrong.

Waste of time ...
GMs can't keep firing coaches because of mistakes the GM makes. We all know that. GMs usually have 2 head coaches they can fire before it's all dumped on them. For years now we've heard how the Jets supposedly have the best prospects playing in their system since 2013. So far, what have we seen? Most of them are playing on the Moose & aren't in a position to help us... yet. Maybe they will eventually (sure hope so) but the process is taking a long, long time. Meanwhile we don't build by trade or free agency so to be able to draft correctly is ultra important to get it right. I'm hoping that the draft prospects start working out & soon but it doesn't look like it this season. If Chevy cans Maurice it may be the last head coaching fire & hire that he does for the Jets.

Waste of time ...
They'll never catch up. The season may have 60 games left but unless they go 45-15 from here on in they'll play the chase game the rest of the season just like last season & fail. Jets goaltending is just lousy & was overrated going into the season. None of the guys we have in net are capable of carrying the team. The prospects we have in our system haven't developed yet. Some of our veterans are not playing well & we have injury issues. Maurice can't make chicken salad out of chicken feathers. You can blame Paul Maurice all you like but some of this mess is on our GM as well.

Game 23 : Trail of Tears @ Robert Altman's Nashville
The Jets future looked promising even after being swept in 4 games by the Ducks in the opening round of the 2015 NHL playoffs. They've fallen into a vast pit since. What happened? I keep waiting for all these prospects we're supposed to have to actually start contributing & the Jets start winning. So far not much. We are committed to building slowly via the draft & nor free agency or by trade. At some point the blame has to be put on Cheveldayoff instead of firing head coaches.

Their offensive line is beat up. That could be their achilles heel in this game.

I've never been impressed with Jeff Orridge. He needs to be replaced.
