  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cam P and saskbluefan in first place with 27 wins and Jesse W James in second with 26. A log jam of people tied for third with 25 wins. It is going to be a fun fight as we move to the second half of the season. Check out the leaderboard here: http://morningbigblue.com/community/index.php?app=pickems&do=leaderboard&pid=5&wid=56 Deadline for this week's picks is game time tonight (6:30 PM).

  4. I like them. Remind me of BCs but with the numbers more legible.
  5. 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!
  6. Lets move this discussion back to Ameet Pall and leave the rest of it alone.
  7. 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.

  9. Pppffftt....don't be ridiculous, that would never work. Dance of joy?
  10. The deadline to get your picks in for this week is game time (7:30 PM) tomorrow.

  11. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
  12. They will be free for both MTS and Shaw. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-games-on-tv-for-free-271819781.html
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. There is always Captain Blue and his plane that drives around after each TD.
  16. Was checking out the official forum to see the reaction over there, and someone photoshopped gold into the camo...
  17. Now you have an excuse to wear an actual Bomber jersey. We know you've been a closet Bomber fan for years now.
  18. I would dare say that it is the "hardcore" fans who would be the most likely to drop $200 on a new one time jersey then casual fans. There was an opportunity here, and it was missed. No, it is not the end of the world. As a "hardcore" Bomber fan, it is just disappointing.
  19. I don't know if I'd call 100's lots of people.
