I can't shake the feeling that Harris is really showing the effects of all the tough miles we've put on him this year. BC was ganging up on him but teams have done that all year. It seemed like that last few percent of explosiveness and power that makes him so great was missing against BC. I'm with greenland: hopefully we beat Toronto, clinch, and then we can give him a rest. 1K/1K is cool and all but against a Grey Cup, not that big a deal. ...tho I don't know who we'd line up in his stead. The only other guy listed at RB in the entire org is a little guy named Zach Bauman, an import who doesn't even have a headshot on the Bomber roster. Normand has played Harris' position, right?

Shouldn't that be the Cardirts vs. the BoLevis?

I think this is just good babysitting. You run him hard, tire him out, he makes no trouble and falls right asleep at bedtime.

My favorite Hip song. Aimed straight at heaven.

I really loved that sequence last game where we ran the exact same HB blitz with TJH twice in a row. First time was a sack, I think the second was a hurry. It was like a kid in Madden spamming an overpowered play.

I've gone to 10-15 live bomber games since I moved from Ottawa to Seattle in 1999. Couple games in Winnipeg, mostly games in BC, one in Montreal. They are 0-fer in those games. In fact, I have not seen a Bomber win live since 1996, when the Bombers beat Ottawa in the very last Rough Riders home game. Was certain that they'd break my personal streak this year in BC. Goddammit, Medlock.

Yet another example of O'Shea's stubbornness. Whenever he sees Arnold_Palmer in the stands, he's like "shut 'er down, boys, we're phoning this one in."

Sure love the look of that DL, especially since Okpalaugo seems to be settling in...

Doesn't matter as long as they can pull together!

I would wear an Obby Khan jersey with pride. He played after losing a few feet of large intestine, and he played through Ramandan and kept his fast when he was younger. His potato chip prank on the Fabulous Blue Bomber Show was hilarious. Dude rolls hard and makes tasty shwarma. To the OP: Last year my answer would be Battle. This year it's Leggett. Moe has been Battle-level special since he moved to SAM and I hope he's a Bomber for a long, long time.

It's amazing, given the relative size of stars and planets, that we can distinguish between a planet-eating star and a non-planet-eating star from 320 light-years away. Astronomy is bonkers nowadays.

In "mars ain't no place to raise a kid" news, here's an older story about the improvised life insurance of Apollo astronauts: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/08/30/160267398/what-the-apollo-astronauts-did-for-life-insurance

Safe travels, DoD!

Medlock was shaky and our D bailed him out. We had steady pressure on the QB and our secondary was sticky. Lucky that Harris, Nichols and Adams decided not to celebrate Reverse Opposite day too.

Yeah, I had high hopes for Quinn too -- he'd played some good minutes in a game earlier in 2006, but the wheels fell off when we rolled him out as a starter.

Kevin Glenn vs. Ryan Lindley? No contest. Ottawa is roadkill. Lindley reminds me of a Bomber QB from the Doug Berry era, a guy who started two games when Glenn was hurt and stunk out the joint in both of them. He got cut the day after his second start when he threw a last minute pick after getting set up in the red zone by a turnover. Anyone remember his name? I wanna say Tim something? (edit: it was Mike Quinn)

Nothing to add, I just like seeing these words.

The 1980s Argo boat logo looked gorgeous on a helmet. Just enough color on it to make it legible. All the Argos logos since (especially the 1989 checkmark swoosh abomination that replaced the boat logo) have been poor facsimiles, like the navy lightning bolt Bombers. The A-shield logo is okay I guess but when I look at it all I see is how great the Argos used to look.

no, gold

Good lord. $350K in bonuses for Ottawa in 1995? That's like $116k per win.

I wonder if the TiCats and the league want to let him spend a few more months in recovery before deciding to risk the circus and sign him. Dude has got a zooful of monkeys on his back.

Yeah, I doubt the Jets were directly inspired by the Argos, but the Argos were the OG double blue team and I don't think there's another pro sports team with that look.

Yeah, double blue is a sharp color scheme, I'm glad the Jets wear it even if they kinda ripped it off from the Argos. I've really dug the last two versions of the Hamilton unis. Black, yellow, stripes. Simple and mean-looking. Especially like the home blacks with the yellow pants.

my god, this is the most beautiful thing I've seen in awhile.
