Maybe he got drug tested.

Use the Golds from the mid-2000's as the road jerseys.

The uniforms are minuscule in the big picture. I spend far too much time with high school kids, many of them CFL fans, and they flat out laugh at the feeble "marketing" ploy that the 3rd jerseys this season are. It's transparent and amateurish. It could be argued that the negative reaction to most of the uniforms is far worse than any positive reaction for uniforms could have been in terms of the overall product. Two things the CFL needs to do is to make their product accessible, and make the overall game of football accessible. I've found the CFL to be pretty inconsistent in their efforts to do both over the years. At some times, the league and teams give a ton of support to youth football, other times they give very little. Lately it seems that they are more interested in starting flag football leagues than getting kids playing the real sport. In terms of making the actual CFL games accessible for young fans, the Bombers would be smart to bring back the Safeway style cheap seats using the several thousand seats in the endzones that never sell. Can't speak to what other teams are doing in that regard.

Grigsby better hope all the good backs are injured in the 2nd half of this season too.

Oh ease up surgeon general.. Its a horrible drug but its no meth,heroin, krocodile, oxy or even mdma.. The fact he is injecting it tho tells me he has an addictive personality and probably stuggles mightily with addictive substances.. Hopefully he gets the help he deserves.. ... let's not even try to rationalize cocaine or crack use here. They're no mary jane, that's for damn sure. Not rationizing it at all but the fact remains its not anywhere near as bad as the others I mentioned.. Also, its not as taboo as one would think... Lotta people have tried it or use it.. Injecting anything is pretty much the most dangerous drug to do, particularly street drugs. Any impurities and you're dead. Injecting cocaine is on par with injecting heroin, most people who do one will do the other, and sometimes both, which is the quickest way to die.

There's no reason to put 8 or 9 in the box unless the Riders do, and when they did the Bombers had the guys responsible for the eligibles who stayed in tight for the Riders to block in the box. Need to tackle better. If you just put 9 guys in the box, Durant is going to take a quick drop and put a ball up in the air for a wide-open guy to snag for a big play.

Bryant certainly not the long-term answer to our receiving problem but he's the best journeyman we have right now and still might be capable of delivering a solid outing if Willy drills the ball into his facemask. Moore seemed to get open a lot but his ball-handling abilities are highly suspect. Romby also drops the odd one when he tracks back after gaining 1st down yardage and tries to turn an 11 yd gain into an 8 yd gain. At least Watson, Guardino, Denmark, etc. seem to know how to fall forward and maximize gains. Romby and Moore (particularly Romby) have developed nasty habits of thinking their 4.8 speed legs can out run 4.6 and 4.7 guys with the advantage of closing angles! Moore has like 2 fumbles all season, 1 we recovered, Why no mention of all the big catches he's made? 4 fumbles. How many do the rest of our receivers have combined? It's a problem that's becoming a trend.

Is this a joke?

Kyle Jones or Pontbriand. I thought Fitzgerald was a long snapper as well. Not good enough to do it in the CFL.

Kyle Jones or Pontbriand.

Eskimos are massively overrated. Their defence is pretty good but their offence truly stinks. That sounds like a better description of the Riders, & I don't just say that b/c you're a Riders fan. Relying solely on the run won't work, imo, against the Stamps or Esks. Their passing game has to improve to beat either of those teams. The Esks offense hasn't been that bad. Not great, but not terrible either. Passing has been there whenever it has been needed. Compare the Riders passing against the Redblacks to the Eskimos (or Calgary for that matter). The Riders are hugely dependent on the run for offensive production. Even with the run game leaving opponents on their heels and giving Durant a huge advantage he is struggling quite noticeably. The only good thing he's doing this season is protecting the ball reasonably well.

I disagree. The Bombers have a 1 game advantage in the series on BC with 2 games left against them, 1 game vs Edmonton and 2 against Calgary. Bombers have already lost the series to the Riders but are in the driver's seat against the Lions. With all those West Division games left a loss to the Riders doesn't sink the Bombers. Heck, a win at the Banjo Bowl puts the Bombers right back in the thick of things. BC has a much easier schedule in the second half of the season though, compared to the Bombers. I don't know. I don't think anyone has an easy schedule. Only real difference is 2 games against the East vs 4 games against the East, but 2 of those games for BC are in Ontario and they have a rich history of struggling on the road vs the East. Edmonton is the team to watch for a fall. 1 left vs Calgary, 3 vs Saskatchewan. Couple trips into Southern Ontario against teams that will be trying desperately to get their act together to host playoff games. I could see them going from 7-2 to a 9-9 finish.

Lawless is so dumb. Ya, adding a pass rushing defensive end is going to shore up the run D.

I really liked Gibson in the pre-season game here. But he's been so-so since.

I'd agree. Sat in two different spots on Sunday. Not very loud closer to field level even when the crowd was in full throat. But when they have a stadium that is more enclosed with the sound bouncing back like IGF, it will be incredibly loud.

Good luck finding a post in this thread that has anything remotely to do with athletes being role models. But, given that he's been coaching high school, he is in a position where there is an expectation that he acts as a positive role model.

Why not bring a Alex Hall, Garrett McIntyre or Phillip Hunt instead ? Are they ready, willing and able to play a CFL game this Sunday?

If Willy's high ankle sprain is stable, he's not risking much. It's just going to swell a lot, which could hurt his ability to move. If it's stable it's more a matter of how much pain he's willing to play with. If it's unstable there's no chance he'll play and he'll need surgery. But he also wouldn't have been able to finish the game in Regina if it was unstable, so I think we're pretty safe to assume his leg bones are secure and it's a stable high ankle sprain.

Neither is Myddleton. He's failed in every opportunity he's had to win a more permanent spot with 3 teams, 2 of those teams being extremely desperate for offensive line help at the time he was with them yet they were willing to let him go. If anything he's established that he isn't good enough to play in the CFL. Lucky for him there are 9 teams now.

Plus Edmonton traded a 4th rounder and a conditional pick for him. It's not like they picked him up off the street or for a 7th rounder.

Meh, Hamilton almost won a game on us earlier this season on a punt return where Unamba got held egregiously right at the point the returner cut. The two blocks aren't illegal. The Kuale one is from the side and he drives through his block ending up behind the Rider. The last block is on a guy who makes himself stationary and looks for a flag, not going to get that call. The 2nd one is a 50-50 hold.

And if you do there's a pretty good chance of being found cold in the fetal position in a bathroom or bedroom somewhere. Pretty good chance of that injecting opiates even if he has "experience." Scary stuff.

Awful player. Lost his job to Landon Rice, another awful player with much less experience, which says a lot with how desperate Hamilton was for OL of any nationality at the start of this season. No better than Swiston or Hinse.

Chick got handled today. And had a couple hissy fits.

Kuale's play is bad enough when he's not taking stupid offside penalties. Should be too embarrassed to even tweet. Unsurprisingly the dam burst in our run D again. Don't see how Kromah gets left off the roster for the rematch. Left a lot of points on the field starting on first drive. Riders O was a little more opportunistic. At least we can be proud of the effort and not embarrassed as usual.
