has anyone been keeping tabs on the state of the Hamilton stadium? How far along are they in recreating Canada Inns/Mosaic?

H1N1 Year Of The Comeback!

New and improved! They should call it H2N2!

Or either stay on topic or stop

 

You have no authority here, doctor.

Well I hope that he is a real doctor, otherwise that time he made me turn and cough...oh no...

I'm confused. Neither Stubler, not the Stampeders, were in the Grey Cup.

Maybe you just weren't watching closely enough.

Mike Riley will be in his mid to late 60's by then & probably retired. Sitting on a beach somewhere or in his home in Oregon enjoying life.

What? He wouldn't want to give that all up to come back to Winnipeg and face the idiot Winnipeg media on a daily basis? Who wouldn't want that? A chance to be grilled by the indomitable intellect of Paul Friesen every day? Sounds much better than a beach.

Don't the A's share a stadium with the Raiders? I've seen a few Oakland games where they haven't replaced the turf on the field and you can still see the baselines on the football field. Just looks so bush league, I couldn't believe the NFL puts up with that crap. When I see the baseball field on the turf it always reminds me of that game a few years ago in Skydome where the workers were too lazy to remove the pitching mound, they just threw the artificial turf on top of it, so there was this huge mound in the middle of the football field and the players had to run around it. Just so stupid. The days of sharing stadiums between football and baseball have to end, you just end up pleasing no one.

I hope that old guy shows up again - the one that tried out for the Riders a few years ago.

Is this actually true? What are we basing this on? That Henoc will only play on a team that has Cauchy on it? I'm not sure that's cast in stone.

No, Walters is believed to have wanted Mitchell, and that it was Mack that opted for Henoc instead.

Oh ok - I didn't know that. Well score one for Mack then because Mitchell has sucked big time.

Tim Burke thinking to himself after any game's first series in 2013 went Run for 2 yards on first down. Incomplete pass on 2nd down. Punt on 3rd Down. "Okay, now what"?

Add in - stare glumly at offence coming off the field, stare glumly at defence going on field, stare glumly at opposing team celebrating opening drive TD. Stare glumly for rest of game off into space.

Mike Edem would be a Bomber. Henoc Muamba wouldn't.

Is this actually true? What are we basing this on? That Henoc will only play on a team that has Cauchy on it? I'm not sure that's cast in stone.

If reports are accurate, Walters' draft chart was very different from Mack's and Mack's opinion won out.

 

I think we know that Mike Edem would be wearing Blue and Gold right now if it were up to Walters, and that probably would have meant Cauchy would have spent most of the season on ST, if he had started at all.

It's too bad that Gaydosh went first overall, as if we had gotten him he would have made a big impact for us....almost as big as Mulumba. 

Good bye to "TAKE A KNEE!!!" I think O'Shea would rather pull his own fingernails out with pliers than take a knee with 25 seconds on the clock and a chance to win the game.

It's not laziness. He has a chance to coach Keon Raymond, Juwan Simpson, DeMonte Bolden, Charleston Hughes & a bunch of other great players on defense. He is on a winning team, an instant GC contender. He doesn't have that in Winnipeg. If he comes here, he could be fired in a year's time. I'll say it again, the Bombers outside of Winnipeg are looked upon as an organization with not a lot of talent that is in turmoil. The best coaches won't come here until we turn things around on the field.

Kind of a catch 22 then eh?

Burke wasn't that kind of person either but he failed because he wound up really doing nothing.

I think I could have coached the Bombers this year just like Tim Burke, because I can point the finger at everyone else and shrug a lot as good as anybody I've ever seen.

Bilukida---Mulumba----- Muamba--- very hard to keep them straight, Jones--Whistler---Rigney was a lot easier in my day.  

heh heh ok Don Cherry! Anyway - I for one am glad that Canada welcomed all of these great Congolese athletes into our country! Keep em coming Congo!

 

 

 

CFL media, Brandon.

I heard the CFL media in Virden is also reporting these rumours.

Virden?….must be Avro Lancaster working behind the scenes!

What ever became of mr.lancaster?

 

Pretty sure I saw him on display at the Calgary airport...

Perhaps sometimes self preservation out weighs what some might consider as an occupational challenge.

Well there's not much else that outweighs Stubler. That man is unhealthily obese for his age.

CFL media, Brandon.

I heard the CFL media in Virden is also reporting these rumours.

Yeah no thanks on Marshall. He can go and work with Lapo on TSN, and take Kavis with him. Perhaps they could host "Consequences" - a new CFL show on TSN that would air in the West so we wouldn't have to watch Landsberg's awful show.

Many Happy Returns…..one of which was Demond Washington's punt return TD this past year and was highlighted again on TSN's Top 100 plays of the year!

and that valiant punt return effort, one of the best I've seen in a long time, was wasted. Just like I'm going to be next Tuesday! Wait, why am I waiting for Tuesday?

This board has been celebrating the "airing of grievances " part of Festivus all year. Time for the feats of strength!  Get the aluminum Festivus pole!

 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. All I want under the tree tomorrow is Bomber merchandise and a new QB.

good to see Ike back in the CFL. Go Iceman!

Stubler's D left the middle of the field wide open for Durant in the semi likely costing BC the cup in the process. Dodged a bullet as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah that was strange how Durant just started running up the middle and BC did nothing to counter it, even after Durant exploited it for big gains several times. The tide of the game changed completely after that.

Strange, I wonder if the foot injuries for DiCroce had anything to do with the Bombers losing him.

 

Had really high hopes for him.

 

I only saw two training camp sessions last season, but DiCroce was horrible in both of them.  Dropping everything even in the warmup drills.  The day after the second one they announced the foot injury.  He certainly didn't look like a guy with CFL potential hands-wise.

and everyone was calling DiCroce the "steal of the draft" on the TSN panel. Oh well...
