don't feed his ego please. Just make sure you also let him know how great the Cal Murphy era truly was. He loves that.

Buck Pierce

Not sure why you're trying to prove your clearly flawed opinion by comparing Buck to KG. Glenn averaged 22 TD's and 3900 yds per year from '05-'08. Buck has thrown 25 TDs and about 6000 yds in his entire Bomber career!!! Yeah, we were probably dumb dumping Glenn when we did, but suggesting we're about to make the same mistake with Buck is laughable. The difference between cutting Buck and cutting Glenn is that after we cut Glenn someone else in Canada wanted him. Buck may be lucky to catch on as a 3rd stringer with an Arena league team. Perhaps Gene Simmons wants him as his QB for his new team.

Well Sask at 4 NI's on the line. Somehow they are doing fine. It's not an import v non-import issue, it's about finding quality players. We haven't done that, while Sask has. And guess who is doing better.

Taman at least understands the value of a good O-Line. He spent the money on Labatte and Picard and Best and it is paying dividends big time. Meanwhile, their first selection in 2012 is now playing tackle, and NI tackles are worth their weight in gold. Meanwhile our NI tackle taken two spots below the Riders pick is still sitting on our 9 game injured list. Just think if we had Pencer and Swiston at tackle, we'd have 5 NI O-linemen. Our entire D could be imports.

Could start 3 Canadians at receiver when Watson comes back Swiston at tackle instead of the human turnstyle Boatman?

does anyone know why Buck came in for one series? I couldn't figure that one out. He came close to getting a first down so that was at least something positive. If he had thrown the ball to Denmark properly we would have gotten the first down.

with Bellfail in as OC, I expect a call has already been placed to Quinton Porter.

There was a time where I would have said that we shouldn't sign guys that were on crappy defences, but the fact is that there are no crappier defences out there anymore. Bo knows losing at least, so he should fit right in.

when things started to fall apart in the second half I thought about going over to the Rum Hut but I looked over there and it was densely packed with humanity, so I just settled for $7 budweisers for the rest of the night.

I'd tend to believe you here but I also know that the Illuminati control the Bombers so...

back in Kelowna now....

Drinking Fort Garry Dark at Buck's right now....delicious...

I just met Paul Swiston's parents in the airport. They were on my flight from Calgary. They are pumped to see him start tonight. I told them I am pumped too.

There's got to be a homeless shelter in Winnipeg he could move into so he could feel at home. East Hastings has nothing on downtown Winnipeg Hugh!

Drinking at Buck's Whole Hog from 3 until 5:30 then catching the shuttle to the game. Will be wearing a Muamba jersey (Henoc). If you see me don't be a stranger!

Yeah I sincerely hope that fatherhood truly has matured Sandra. The last thing we need now is another headache.

he's a Blue Bomber now. Everything he says is going to be spun negatively.

He'll play again, but it will be inside an arena.

I hope you are right Iso. I agree.

They all hate Vince McMahon?

Fair enough, I don't blame the media for blasting us but it just seems like such a lame thing to do. It's one thing for fans to tease fans from other cities, it's another for the media to dog pile on. Growing up, I don't remember the Winnipeg media ever really crapping all over other teams, even the Riders, who were downright pitiful at times. With the advent of sports radio now having to be entertaining, I guess blasting other teams has become part of the process. I don't like it, but they have advertisers to placate. I'll give you Saskatchewan Iso, but if you were in Toronto or Vancouver, you'd just get "There's a football league in this country"? Do they play at the same time as the Leafs/Canucks?

I don't know who those tools are and really couldn't care less. I hope the Jets pound the Flames into the ground this year when those teams play, as the Flames are the laughing stock of the NHL right now. All teams go through highs and lows - just wait until Hufnagel retires or loses it and the Stamps go in the dumper. I highly doubt that even the lowest class of our media (Westwood/Friesen) would crap all over the Stamps. I really hate people who kick others when they are down.

totally worked! Thanks!
