    Where do you get 1% chance of the kick being made?  IMO the 3rd and 4 vs 61 yard FG with Medlock in a dome are about equal odds.  If Medlock hit that kick 10 times he'd make 3-4, same for the 3rd down play.

    The only difference is the time on the clock.  Even if you make that kick...BC has too much time.

    This to a tee.  The odds were fairly close.  

    There are a lot of fans talking out of anger which is understandable but in reality, we go back again to hindsight being 20/20.  Poor decision because it didn't work.

    Derek Taylor brings up a good point that, while MOS would likely publicly say that he doesn't give 2 shits about individual recognition for COY, it *does* probably have a lot of importance to him come contract-talk time....

    I would argue that completely.  After getting to know the people who would be in charge of making the decision on Osh's new contract, it would be irrelevant.  The results are the results, award recognition or not.

    Is this supposed to be a predictions thread too... well here's mine anyways, winners bolded:

    West: MOP - BLM; Cdn - Messam; Def - Leggett; OL - Dennis; ST - Medlock; MOR - Justin Cox

    East: MOP - Jackson; Cdn - Fantuz; Def - Lemon; OL - Gott; ST - Banks; MOR - Revenberg

    I doubt they would do this b/c it looks bad... but to me, it's a west sweep...

    In all honesty though, how could you argue it would NOT be a West division sweep?

    With Rainey and Paredes, Medlock might not even make it out of the west, but if he does, I can't see anyone from the east beating him.

    Medlock beats Parades in nearly every way and is perfect on converts, while Parades has missed 7 of them.

    Rainey's a wild card but I don't think he has been as consistent as Medlock.

    That's not how it works at all. Whoever is explaining it that way is mistaken.

    It pretty clearly states "next available" and if you've traded it, it's not available. So they'll lose their 2018 first rounder.

    That's what I thought.  The fact they traded away next year's 1st rounder means they are just delaying the inevitable to 2018. 

    What if they keep trading away their first rounders every year?

    I guarantee if the team was called something else the talk wouldnt be as strong, but it was named Jets by popular demand.  Jets of the WHA and NHL...that's the most widely known hockey history so its most relevant to use Jets in my opinion.  other sports leagues retain the history.

    I guess its more semantics since, for all real purposes, Jets 1.0 belongs to True North now.  They have the logos and honour the players and history.  Its just sort of silly that when we talk rookie scoring records, we talk Kovalchuk (or whomever) and not Teemu.  No one cares about Thrashers records. 

    And if Im Coyotes, I'd be all in on giving back the history.

    I personally am content with whenever a team relocates, the old team's history ceases, and the new franchise starts creating its own history starting from scratch.

    Why is that?  Considering our alumni team are alumni of another organization and when records are mentioned all anyone wants to discuss is the coyotes record.  I guess when I say it makes sense it's from that perspective. Common sense. 

    It makes sense why people would want it.  I get it, and accept it, but to me it's not right.  This is more Winnipeg hockey history and the Jets name should remain out of it because the two franchises are not the same.  The new Jets Hall of Fame is not accurate in my opinion and I still question if the team had been called something else from the get go back in 2011, how much of this are we still talking about today?

  24. Bruce Johnson Suspended

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    The Canadian Football League (CFL) today announced that Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back Bruce Johnson has been suspended for two games effectively immediately after testing positive for a banned substance under the policy of the CFL and Canadian Football League Players’ Association (CFLPA).

    Statement from Winnipeg Blue Bombers General Manager, Kyle Walters:

    “We are disappointed with Bruce and his decision, but I trust no one is more upset in his actions than Bruce himself. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers fully support the policy on performance enhancing drugs, and we trust Bruce will learn from his mistake moving forward.”

    Statement from Bruce Johnson:

    “I take full responsibility for my decisions and accept the disciplinary action. I apologize to my coaches, teammates, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers organization and Bomber fans, and will use this as a learning opportunity for myself. I hope to return following my suspension and help our team continue the push toward the playoffs.”

    can you buy tickets directly from the bombers? I know for the first game vs edmonton at home (July 17th) i bought 5 tickets in the endzone (Listed at $41.00 ea) but got charged an additional $6/ticket just for going through ticketmaster. $30 extra isnt all that much but after tax and this ticketmaster fee what would be $205 for the 5 tickets ended up being $265 

    Yeah the service fee would be $5.25/ticket so you would have paid another $26.25.  The Co-op deal would have been great for you as the service fee is included.  In your case using the Co-op 4 pack you could have gotten the tickets AND a parking pass and then bought the 5th ticket separately and spent $171.25.
