Bombers Trade For Abraham Kromah
I think 2012 was his first season in the CFL and he played absolutely awesome for Saskatchewan until he broke his leg. Been a victim of numbers/ratio since then. Played 8 games, spent 28 on IR coming into this season. Most of those have been a stash though.

Drew Freakin Willy
I feel like Unamba would be a non factor if Graig Newman had two working legs right now. I like him, but he should be replaceable. He needs more time to acclimate to the CFL.

I wonder if people would be more into the idea of putting Woods back on if we had lost last night.

Bombers Trade For Abraham Kromah
I'm very curious about this move. Seems like he'd be taking Kuale's spot, not Wild's. Kuale had a rough game last night, but I'm not sure what this could be about.

Areas of Improvement
Didn't he play against Calgary? I recall Peterson being terrible in both of the preseason games and Howard struggling with the second unit against the Stamps. Maybe I'm wrong, I was pretty certain he was a scratch. But the odds of me being wrong are high.

Interesting that some of you think Howard sucked in the preseason considering he didn't play.

GDT: Winnipeg @ Montréal
I don't know how much it means, but Jim Popp's last couple of tweets make it seem like Tanner Marsh is starting tonight.

Alright, late entry. Nick Moore.

LeBron James is going home
He's announced he will be returning to Cleveland. This has potential to be one of the greatest sports stories of my lifetime. If he returns to Cleveland and brings them any number of championships ... you honestly couldn't write a better script imo.

Jeffrey Bannon no longer with Bomber organization
That sucks. Didn't always see eye to eye with Jeff but he was always willing to go above and beyond to help me (and many other people) out. Jeff definitely bleeds blue and gold and he's done some very good things for the club. Best of luck to him.

Evander Kane Interview
Only in Winnipeg would a guy who scores 30 be a disappointment because he may not score 40.

Gavins fined for dirty hit on Drew Willy
That's a pretty broad (and ignorant) statement.

Do you even follow the NHL? This post suggests no.

Early Top 10 Ranking for 2015 Draft
The true answer is there is more than one answer. Not every draft class is evaluated and discussed with the same variables in mind, because no draft class is the same. Sometimes there is a consensus. Sometimes there isn't. Sometimes you can trade up/down your board for value. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you draft for need. Sometimes you draft the best player available. And in amongst all these variables, you also have to factor in that you're building 9 different draft profiles per draft class because there are 9 different teams. The 2015 draft class, although very early, seems to be a class where I personally would not specifically target an offensive lineman because the class appears deep with them. Beyond Danny Groulx, Sukh Chungh, Sean McEwen, Karl Lavoie and David Beard, it also appears to be a deep deep class of offensive lineman in the NCAA. Dillon Guy, Josiah St. John and Brett Boyko all have to factor in as they'll be NCAA seniors in 2014. It's so difficult to be sure on CIS eligibility but I'm fairly certain guys like Charles Vaillancourt, Winston Miles, Aaron Picton and Manitoba Bison Alex McKay are all draft eligible in 2015 as well. Now consider that there are a lot of attractive skill position players out there for teams to look at - Nic Demski, Lemar Durant, Bobby Pospischil, Shaq Murray-Lawrence, Addison Richards as well as guys like Daniel English (maybe?) and Mehdi Abdesmad factoring into the draft ... Of course, we have 10 months to sort out NFL interest, eligibility, who has a stock rise and drop, etc. But right now, the draft seems VERY deep and part of that is the rich OL talent.

No kidding. Any excuse to **** on the poor guy.

QB Mason Mills
Numbers wise, yeah. Arm doesn't look great in the highlight vid. But who knows how old some of that footage is. He could easily have improved. I trust the scouts. The first player I thought of after I saw his iffy/wonky release on some of those throws and the way he scrambles around is Collaros.
-
QB Mason Mills
I would expect you'll see him added to our PR in the coming days. University of San Diego product, NCAA Division 1-AA quarterback ... was the Pacific Football League (the name of the conference he plays in) MVP in 2013. Very solid numbers.

No Zach Anderson on Friday
Not even travelling. I'm assuming playing last week made his heel contusion worse.

Early Top 10 Ranking for 2015 Draft
I wouldn't go after an offensive lineman in the first round unless they clearly separate themselves more as a primary tier vs. the second tier.

Where on earth is Lemar Durant Oh, nevermind, apparently in the wording, it says it's CIS only.

Jerome Messam signs with Riders
Scenario: O'Shea: So Gerome, you're a big strong guy and I understand you'd like to contribute to our specials teams? Messam: It's Jerome with a J now gimme the rock or I'm going to Fatburger O'Shea: That worked out well.
