Probably nothing. The Reebok's of the world usually bid to provide the jerseys to professional sports teams and in return get income from the sale of jerseys and other merchandise. That is why the teams will have a minimum number of times they have to wear them.

I don't know. I think if he was using coke when he was here that someone would have known about it and people wouldn't be so shocked by it. The ones shocked by it are the fans, who would be the last to know. You can't tell me no one on any of the CFL teams are doing those drugs just because we don't hear about it or they don't get caught. A CFL dressing room is a small eco system representative of society. A percentage of those people are going to be doing drugs.

Thank you!

It is unfortunate that that criteria has been the mark for a good owner if you look at some of the past CFL owners. Let's hope we can change that going forward.

What does it matter what he says? You've already pretty much said you are only going to believe the things he says that fall in line with your own beliefs. Anything else will be dismissed as rhetoric. I prefer a coach who entertains through the product on the field and not his press conferences. Welcome to the current age of sports...

Duressler47 really hasn't been that bad. Does he get the odd dig in, sure, but what do you really expect. As long as it is done in good taste and not just to stir thing up. It isn't always easy posting on another fan base's forum, especially when its a rivalry like there is between Saskatchewan and Winnipeg. He has been pretty gracious taking the digs tossed back at him, which is really what he should somewhat expect coming here. And you can't really fault the kid for being born after the Riders sucked. If anything, it is good to see the younger / next generation continuing fan interest in the CFL ... whether they are Rider fans or not. A rider fan coming here to post, who isn't here to just troll, just proves he is a fan of the CFL just as much as the Riders.

Where is he making good money? A backup QB was probably making at most 100k last year. Gets the double whammy on taxes and hasn't been employed in football for almost a year now. Certainly not "set for life" type of money. Especially if you are flushing it away on drugs.

While I'm not a fan of how much they paid Burris, the nice part of signing Burris was what they got in return for Glenn. For an expansion team those Canadians are going to be super important in the upcoming years. They are still going to have to pay up to find and develop a qb because of Burris' age but I can understand the gamble they took to want to be competitive with Burris. But at least he was only a FA signing . They gave up nothing for him.

I like them. Remind me of BCs but with the numbers more legible.

I'd like to thank Jim Bell for the years he spent with the Bombers and wish him nothing but success in his future endeavours. Thanks Jim!

Lets move this discussion back to Ameet Pall and leave the rest of it alone.

The decision to punt is more a confidence in his defence then offence. If you give up the safety you are giving up 2 points and giving them the ball back. If you punt, you are believing that your defence can at least hold them to a field goal. So far it has been working well for him. Will they give up the TD one of these times? Sure, but I prefer the more aggressive believe your D can get the stop approach. I think you see him give up the safety if we either have a large lead where the points don't matter so much, or we are against a heavy wind.

There is no way the CFL would purposefully reduce the merchandise sold from two teams by making the jerseys look ugly. It isn't like those teams fans are going to buy another teams jerseys. That would just be throwing money away. I have heard that other teams, including SK, have had some say. I've heard the Bombers say they had none. Don't know if we will find out the truth. I wonder if this was all decided before the Miller regime took over and they are just trying to distance themselves from it and move on.

I can't see this as likely. Too much money involved in the design and production of something like that to risk doing it again. Do the minimum that the contract stipulates (whatever that is, wearing it once or twice this year and next), and cut your losses.
