  1. Finding this site was super difficult. I googled and sent PM's to a couple members on OB but it appears they had already left the site, finally I just asked in a thread and got a couple of PM's one of which arrived before what this automatic filtering thats happening. 

    Incase I'm the first to notice it looks like morningbigblue.com has been filtered and now comes up thatothersite.com which took me to some weird japanese site. I hope that it wasn't some bukakke site that's gonna get me flagged for being a weirdo (My normal Goggle search history can do that on its own!). 

     

    I'm Lore over there so I'm glad my back-up plan of sending you the image with the site name and URL on it worked. I was so surprised when I initially tried to send you the information and saw that the censor had changed it. 

  2. I apologize for adding this to the thread (the other one in the general discussion area was locked) but I'm a little peeved at the administrator of another site. A person can type "Our Bombers" here but over there if you type Morning Big Blue (with or without the spaces) the board censor changes it to "that other forum". I have to say you guys have definitely taken the high road.

  3. Well you gotta assume that all that would be hammered out before he showed up. Lord knows they just wouldn't let him show up and be a bad attitude.

     

    If he says he'll report but would bring the bad attitude with him they can tell him to stay home but they would have to end the suspension and pay him to sit out. Sure he doesn't make much but it would still count against the cap.

  4. The Hamilton Spectator's Drew Edwards & Steve Milton outline how the Chris Williams contract arbitration could have long lasting & serious effects for all CFL teams.

    The comments by Austin about what Williams would have to do if he reported were strange in a way. He says that Williams would have to prove to the coaches that he wants to be there and address his teammates. So if Williams were to report and tell the coaches that he doesn't want to be there, what are the Ticats going to do. They could send him home but they would have to pay him or they would have to release him or try to trade him.

  5. plus Kevin Glenn is a quick phone call and late round draft pick trade away....

     

    Considering Hufnagel apparently wanted either our #1 pick or Chris Matthews for Glenn during the off-season, you really think he would drop the price during the season? Of course, it also depends on how many games Tate plays before being injured as well.

  6. if Mack could do that, i'd be impressed.

     

    Hefney would be worth at least a pick or two seeing how Hervey gave up picks for a guy who was about to become a free agent and Taman gave up a player and pick for Simon. Hamilton needs help in the secondary. I doubt your Argos would turn their nose up considering you're going to have basically a new secondary this season and Barker is the guy who gave up two picks (including a first rounder) for Jyles.

     

    Still don't think Hef is going anywhere.

  7. So, what your're saying is without even looking at the CBA that there'd be a provision in it where they lay out what teams can & can't do when a player breaches his contract?

    I know the CBA only allows teams to fine players for specific infractions which, upon looking would seem to include sitting out. I also know the maximum fine a team can levy is $75. I suspect the CFLPA would argue that a player sitting out would constitute one breach, not a separate breach for each day.

    Also there's nothing stopping Williams from retiring for the season. If he did he would still be a free agent at the end of the season.

  8. knocked it out of the park JimmyFres... i mean, Rich.

    i freaking love this.

    Now you can see I did know what I was talking about when I said there were huge differences between free forum software and the really good software that is licensed.

  9. I might have said that before his trade and some of the Lion players went public with how disliked he was and what a locker room cancer he was. I lost a lot of respect for Mitchell after that arm-whip. Just so stupid. You mentioned that the best DT was going to the Patriots, but I assumed you meant Vega and not the Argo guy that went, whose name escapes me. That's how much of an impression he made on me I guess.

    That player whose name escaped you was Armond Armstead who was signed to a 3 year deal worth almost $1.5 million with over $650,000 guaranteed (including his whole first year's salary and $250,000 in the second year). He was a CFL all-star last year as well. Vega was great but he's making no where near that for the Patriots.

  10. Here's the NBA finals schedule:

    Game 1 - June 6

    Game 2 - June 9

    Game 3 - June 11

    Game 4 - June 13 - 1 CFL preseason game

    If Necessary

    Game 5 - June 16

    Game 6 - June 18

    Game 7 - June 20 - 3 CFL preseason games

    TSN potentially has one NHL game scheduled if the Kings/Hawks goes to 7 games with the Bombers game on June 12.

    There is no reason a CFL preseason game couldn't be on TSN2 when the NBA games are on.

    I believe TSN only shows the first 3 games of the Chi/LA game, and then everything shifts to CBC...

    You're right. I forgot about that.

  11. Here's the NBA finals schedule:

    Game 1 - June 6

    Game 2 - June 9

    Game 3 - June 11

    Game 4 - June 13 - 1 CFL preseason game

    If Necessary

    Game 5 - June 16

    Game 6 - June 18

    Game 7 - June 20 - 3 CFL preseason games

    There is no reason a CFL preseason game couldn't be on TSN2 when the NBA games are on.

    What makes this strange is last season's preseason games had pretty good ratings. Some games had higher ratings than the NBA finals.
