Lawn chair? How about a massage recliner with a built-in fridge and a long extension cord.

GCn11, you mention Bighill but there is also Elimimian in BC as well. Where would Henoc line up there?
Plus teams are still basing their budgets on the 2013 cap so that could affect whether some teams can offer the big bucks. The Riders could be in a tough position to make an offer especially if the rumours are true about their cap situation.

Man this thread is bitter

Considering everyone in the media was wrong about Stubler for DC and Jones for OC, I think I'll wait for an official announcement.

Meaning we don't definitely know when it was made.

Read your other post. You said lose, not trade.
I still would like to know what Hufnagel has said or done that makes people think Mitchell is ahead of Tate on the depth chart.

Suppose you already have one of these:
 

Anybody who calls the majority of our team garbage and unilaterally states nobody wants to come here, without any proof, and dismisses our OC and our yet unnamed DC, can be regarded as having a defeatist attitude even if you believe you're being realistic.
I see nothing positive in your ENTIRE postings.
 
And of course we'll have to earn respect, but you're severely undervaluing the recent personnel that has been hired.
Maybe waiting until the entire staff has been hired and free agency has arrived and draft day has breezed by before we start hanging low.

Would anyone like to see the PI rule changed to a 10 or 15 yard penalty and automatic first down instead of the current putting the ball where the PI occurred?
 
 
 
Wrong. At the time the Stamps released him they didn't know how serious his injury was because Pall wasn't scheduled for an MRI until a few days later. Hufnagel didn't want to put him on the 9 game if Pall wasn't seriously injured. Hufnagel said he thought he had an agreement with Pall that he would rehab in Calgary and then re-join the team.

are we still going to try and pass this off as fact? Come on, listen to what he said, it was a flat out admission that they failed to replace that kind of leadership! The really stupid part is that the following offseason they failed to address that aspect again and even got worse givng Burke the gig. 
 
Macks #1 problem was he didn't know how to hire a coach.

As much as I want to see the Argos play in a better stadium, if the Feds contribute to that plan I will be really angry. They've already committed/spent over $335M for the 2015 Pan-Am Games as well as another $35M for a legacy fund. There is no reason additional money should go to BMO Field for the Pan-Am Games because it isn't needed for them. Let MLSE pay for it - they sure as hell have the money.

So Tait is tweeting some Stubler quotes from the Calgary Herald. Basically sounds like Stubs and his new wife wanted to stay close to BC, so Calgary made more sense. Said it was a tough decision because he and MOS go back a long way, and he really feels like Walters/MOS have it figured out and will turn it around, but Calgary made more sense to them right now.

You're making a few assumptions there.

Name me another "journeyman" tackle that the cflpa voted as an all-star plz.

That would be Mister two time all-star journeyman. 

Best of the season to everyone, and especially to Rich, Mike, and the mod team for giving us such a great forum!

I'm not that surprised either. There have been a lot of changes made since the season ended and I think fans see things are being done differently from the past. Most of the moves have been well received and, probably the biggest factor of all, the media hatchets haven't been out much. 

I thought I read somewhere that MB had said the offence will feature a lot of things he's learned over the past 1-1/2 years from visiting various teams (something like that). If that's the case I wonder how much of his past playbook is still being used now. It's possible it could be a completely new playbook compared to his times in SK, Montreal and Hamilton.

I was referring to Penton's picks. Now if you agree Calgary was the big winner in the draft that's your choice. As for the rest, I don't give a damn what the media think since IMO most of them are idiots who form their opinions of the Bombers based on the writings of Penton, Friesen, Lawless and Wiecek.

Why would not getting Khari or Stubler be any fault of Walters'
 
Are we really going to start up this "let's blame people for things they have nothing to do with" theme again so soon?

I think some people are making assumptions over what Desjardin said. We had about 30 NIs. By round 3 we have 12 NIs protected including a few of the 16 NI potential FAs. It could be that they didn't have many signed players to choose from.

As others have said there are a lot of things to blame Mack for but that doesn't mean everything he did was bad. 

I could be wrong but I don't think Iso was in that group.

Not only is this big news for Jon Cornish, it's big, big news for the CFL. It's the first time since 1969 (Russ Jackson) that a CFL player won this prestigious award. It means to me that sports journalists down east may be perceiving the CFL in a positive light & it is about time. I believe this is only the third time a CFL player has ever won this award. Congratulations to Jon Cornish.
