Coyotes In Trouble Again?
What do the T-Birds draw for junior games? What arena do they play out of? The Kelowna Rockets started out as the Tacoma Rockets, and apparently they played in the 22,000 seat Tacoma Dome, but apparently it was a terrible venue for hockey. The Tacoma Rockets didn't draw well so they moved the team here, and it's done phenomenally well here. Anyway, not sure hockey would work in Seattle. I wouldn't want to try it anyway.

Just think, if he hadn't had that steak and cheese sub toasted...

Alberta, Taxes, and Socialism
Spoken like someone who has never had to endure an NDP government. You are applying logic and reason to radical zealots. I agree that the smart thing to do is slow and steady and do nothing stupid/radical to change how things are done in Alberta. But this is the NDP. They don't understand cause and effect, or consequences. You raise taxes dramatically, it causes all of this money to flow in, right? That's what their college professors told them anyway. Few if any of them have run a business or participated in real life outside of cosy union jobs or government-funded academia. So yes, I would hope that Notley moves slow. She seems to have a level head. It's her 50 or so radical MLA's that she will have to try and control. Good luck with that.

How happy are you with Walters' Draft work?
this is very true. Over the years I've seen so many draft busts who were supposed to be superstars and so many nobodies that were drafted late who turn out to be studs that all I know is this - Kyle and his crew know CIS football, so if they wanted Richards that high, I'm glad they got him. He could be the next Joe Pop, or the next Aaron Hargreaves. I am hoping for something somewhere in between.

Graeme Bell. He was traded to the Riders by the Eskimos. DOH. Oh well I tried.

OL Sukh Chungh (1st round, 2nd overall)
Well that does it. The fact that Chungh only signed a two year deal has ruined my entire long weekend. I might as well just start the Crown going right now....ah...now what were we talking about again?

REC Addison Richards (2nd round, 11th overall)
He's now in the CFL so it will be an ironic celebration at best. That Rams QB throws a nice ball.

I assume this means that he is pretty much done in this league.

Cory Watson traded again
Other than Muamba, the real sad part is looking at who we COULD have had. You mean like Coehoorn, Iannuzzi, Holmes, Butler, Edem..... Speaking of Iannuzzi, IIRC, he had kind of fallen out of favour in BC. If that's still the case, wonder if we could pick him up for a role of tape and a late round pick...

Bombers sign LB Sammy Brown
his level of intensity would be pretty hard to beat. Just an amazing player. I wonder sometimes if I will see another LB like him ever again.

This board had a massive hard on for Peach last year, but not sure we need him now. With our depth he'd likely end up on the PR. Not sure if it was that everyone had such a massive hard-on for Peach, but rather a reflection of how flaccid our O-Line was last year. Picard, Bryant and now Chungh are the Viagra our o-line really needed, which we didn't have last year. Also adding Stoudermire helped (whoops, forgot that meme was dead).

Good thing their fanbase beat them to that number.

wish coach Burke all the best - hope things work out ok for him, whatever the issue is.

Bombers Release DE Booker and WR Goard
I thought you were high on Goard? Or was that someone else. Oh well.

So the first order of business for Notley is to hire career NDP cheeseball Brian Topp as her chief of staff. That's got to scare the Albertans.

RB/FB Christophe Normand (4th round, 33rd overall)
An ounce of draft is worth a pound of free agent.

You might have to settle for a lemon party. It's almost as much fun.

Bombers sign LB Sammy Brown
well at least he has a solid degree to fall back on.

Finally, could we have found the Tyrone Jones clone we've been looking for for 25 years?

I like Chris Mercer before. Based on Forde's scouting report from the past he's one those OL that has attitude and nastiness. So Pencer is getting one last shot. I hope he actually did some fitness training this off-season, and doesn't show up just to perform another pylon/turnstyle exhibition like he did last year.- OL Sukh Chungh (1st round, 2nd overall)
at least he spelled "you're" right. - Around the CFL Offseason Discussion
