stand out last year, stand out in preseason... but no we'll start the ***** who didn't stand out in preseason at all.

wild not starting = fail.

telling Kelly to get ****** shouldn't be a black mark on a player. You know who else Mike Kelly said had a bad attitude? Doug Brown.

yeah but Calgary had starters on D too and Willy looked like he coulda gone for 400+ yards passing if he played the whole game and his receivers didn't grease up their hands before the game. Calgary wasn't all that impressive against Winnipeg either, defensively at least.

all aboard the Cornish train.

that's because the captain is a dirty double crossing bastard who will kick your ass and leave you to die on a deserted island.

is it wrong that we started buying gibsons finest a lot simply because they're a CFL sponsor? Honestly if I'm buying rye I tend to just go with Crown Royal, it's what I grew up drinking so it just kind of stuck with me.

yeah rum is just bad news all around... we don't get along rum and I

if we're holding last years record against players then we should have had a LOT more new faces this year than we do.

he's better than Kelly so absolutely. Thought the Bellefool man crush is a powerful force.

I just don't see how anyone can spin this as a bad move... It's an entry level position that they created simply because they liked the guy as a guest coach. That to me seems like a smart way to do things. Hey we like what this guy is doing, let's create a spot for him on the staff and see if he grows into more than just a quality control coach.

Braley has ruled the CFL with an iron fist for a long time now.

how do you figure that?

and when you've fired as many coaches as the bombers have recently experienced rock solid coaches don't want to go through that ****. Let's face it the last decade this team has been dragged through all kinds of **** and it's going to take time to repair the reputation.

I said it in the offseason, it's the worst time to move west for the Bombers. Man I woulda loved to stay in the east just one more year. All you gotta worry about then is Ray, in the west it's tougher. But I guess this is all part of the pander to Southern Ontario mentality that the CFL is so fond of.

if nothing else this pre-season made me hopeful that Willy can get the job done. I liked a lot of things that the offense showed, I think they can be decent this year which let's face it is a huge step up from the last 3 or 4 years.

Same old Brink. Send pressure he's not doing anything.

I just don't understand how minor league football leagues don't take hold... Hockey and baseball can both make a go of it why not football?

There was one pass Smith threw in the first half that was just a flat out amazing pass... then there were the ones that landed nowhere near a receiver. Michael Bishop had more accuracy than that.

yeah but what kind of schemes are they running? A veteran like Burris should be able to pick apart a vanilla D no trouble.

Of course, I've been proven wrong before. Henry making those guys look like allstars against Montreal right now. veteran looks good in preseason against god knows what kind of competition... stop the presses.

post calvillo als look to be in trouble.

That is a starter single malt. Its a little harsh but you can really taste that it tastes like pears and its nice to start of with something where you can really get the notes easily. Harsh really isn't a problem, I kinda like my booze to burn a little bit on the way down.

They didn't start but Markett and WIld did generate some buzz in preseason, Dunn started and started the year pretty well I think. Last year being the 3rd year for the GM it does make sense though that there were less spots for rookies, a lot of the spots were being filled by players that regime brought in previous years as you would expect.

I think it's probably not a bad thing in the big picture. Lets you get a good idea who your team is going to be and you can focus on preparing those players to start the season rather than still having to evaluate a bunch of players.
