it's actually just easier to spell than his real name.

The problem with Bellefool is that the offense was so bad anything would be an improvement. He's average at best, at best. We can do better even if they have less experience.

Our wiffle-bat budget will be second to none! Gibson was the wiffle bat guy no? Wylie was just damned good at the job.

if Bob Wylie is going to coach an o-line in the CFL can the Bombers please drive a dump truck full of money up to his house and get him here?

It's clear to me that the Lions are the gong-show of the CFL. No one wants to coach there. Total disaster. Benevides and Buono are just egotistical assholes who don't play well with others. Plus I think they're connected to the mob.

OMG what a horrible place BC is, no one wants to go there, what a joke of a franchise.

I think the turn around will be faster than a lot of people think assuming that the coaches they hire as worth a damn and they get a decent qb. There is some potential here that needs developed so good coaches should hopefully be able to turn some of these guys into players.

it's horrible having to watch games where you just know there's no chance of them winning. One thing goes wrong and you knew they were going to roll over and die.

an impending free agent who hasn't established a lot in the league? I don't think that's the kind of person Ottawa is targetting. I suspect that they'll try and snap up as many linemen as possible from the NI ranks. There's enough NI receivers who are free agents they can likely get some decent ones there.

That's only because of how bad the team was with Burke. The mess Kelly left was a big one, but at least the team seemed to have a pulse back then, with Burke leading the way there was absolutely no passion from anyone on that team and it was just ******* depressing.

Being +5 wouldn't cause many problems. It's not like they'll be relying on natural ice out there. Yeah the community I live in here in Calgary has an outdoor rink and with their cooling unit they can keep ice up to +15 degrees, surely the NHL can do likewise.

do you just have really high standards for defense or are you underestimating those teams defenses? Cause I suspect it's the latter. They may not have been highlight grabbing grabbing but they were solid.

That's a shame because the league is losing their best head referee.

Trades are so rare in the CFL to begin with and they usually wind up being for 2nd round picks or whatever. Not sure those kinds of return are worth it now. Lose a player you can protect more right? So that extra protection likely has more value than what you're get in return.

quoting because this spelling makes me ask a lot of questions.

Screw the haters he was a great guy for this team.

What was wrong with Dunn? For a rookie he seemed to play pretty well. Stewart is a guy that I wouldn't write off yet either, I'd say he gets a chance to rebound cause he is that guy with good size that everyone around here seems to be screaming to find. Mainor I wouldn't call a starter either, he's a depth guy and has been for pretty much his whole career here.Stewart really disappointed me last year, I wouldn't be upset if we bring back Stewart, but I certainly wouldn't be upset if we let him walk eitherI couldn't care less if mainor is brought back or not. The guy gets more production as a part timer than he does full time. I'd rather find some new ends Stewart I think you give an opportunity to bounce back. Yeah you bring in competition but I am a proponent of giving guys who had a disappointing year the chance to rebound.

2003 his numbers were ok too, it was just in comparison to 01 and 02 that they looked poor. Was still over 4000 yards I believe and did win 11 games that season. I think your bias against Glenn is over looking what he did in 2007 as well, though it would be debatable.

I'd cheer for a cloned Hitler if he could win us a Grey Cup. I'd cheer for Hitler before Burris for what it's worth.

I'd see one DT being replaced not 2... I think our LBs are fine and the dbs depending on whether last year was just a down year for some of a sign of games falling off a cliff can play it fine too.

you think half the defense can't play? Care to start listing them? Cause I think you're going to come up with less than half the names on D.

You're still missing the point here. It was Rider fans who screamed louder than anyone about the Esks cheating when they were over the cap and winning even though the cap back then was even less enforced. Now though it's just the way business is done when it's the Riders doing it. We're laughing at their hypocritical nature here nothing more nothing less.

in the summer.
