200 Level: Is the Music Too Loud?
Get rid of the Salisbury House fan contest. It's the one where the fan is blind folded and has to run to the banner. I have never seen anyone win as none of the participants actually try. Bring back the mattress races instead.

Advise the CFL
CFL heading in right direction to get calls right while improving player safety REGINA - Improve player safety, coaches’ challenges and the role of the eye-in-the-sky official, while at the same time cutting down on penalties and trying not to interrupt the flow of the game. This is the task at hand for the 12-person rules committee as it meets to kick off CFL Week in the Saskatchewan capital. http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Football/CFL/News/2017/03/20/22711868.html

I'm waiting for Young to hit the internet tonight and declare he's going to score 8 TDs a game.

I need to know if Hurl is failure or not.

Maybe his salary level wasn't in the team's budget. So if they sign him it's possible they release Ryan Smith or a vet DB to offset Steele's salary.

The other irony is they mention how their site is the largest and best CFL forum eva and that fans from around the league want to post on Riderfans. However, they don't want these outsiders posting there.

1 + 4 = 5 2 + 5 = 12 3 + 6 = 21 8 + 11 = ? Like if you know the answer.- Around The League Off Season Discussion
No, but there is a Brady connection. Bishop was drafted by New England in 1999 and was ahead of Brady on their depth chart in 2000 - the year Brady was drafted.- Free Agency Frenzy
Yeah, Friesen is is quick to post anything with a negative Bomber slant to it. I thought I saw a tweet from him earlier today that indicated Bass and Denmark were both gone as Bombers - he has since deleted it.- Around The League Off Season Discussion

Maybe they got the guy that scouted the TiCats' practice for Mike Kelly.- Around The League Off Season Discussion
Reminds me of when Graeme Bell faxed his contract to the Bombers upside down. But before he was able to refax the paperwork Edmonton had contacted him and he ended up signing with them.- It's 2017 and the Riders just put _________ on their neg list ...
Because they have more scouts. They must be better. Besides, it takes lots of skills to comb over other teams' rosters. The last 6 or 7 QBs the Riders have signed were from other CFL teams.- Around The League Off Season Discussion
I could see Costello being promoted and Keeping becoming the Oline assistant. O'Shea seems to have a lot of respect for him. When Keeping was injured O'Shea pointed out how Keeping was a leader and was eager to help out the other guys.- Maurice Leggett signs contract extension
Last year Mo was part of an exhibit at the WAG. Kinda reminds me of when Troy Westwood would dabble in a lot of off field stuff.- Adjusting Rules for 2017
I agree and I wish the CFL was in a position to pump the brakes on all the rule changes. Maybe the players would be able to adapt to the rules if they aren't changing every year. However, if there are going to be some tweaks I'd like to see them getting away from the fishing expeditions. Coaches shouldn't be able to challenge an infraction that occurs away from the ball. If the officials missed it during live action then too bad. If the league is dead set on making changes then the rule I'd like them to get rid of is the push out rule. Players should have at least one foot in bounds for it to be deemed a catch. The game has swung too much in favour of receivers. I'd like to see Loffler knock a player out of bounds to nullify a catch.- Around The League Off Season Discussion
Yeah, there was the myth that Mack lived in the States and therefore was never around the team. Fact was that during the season he spent most of his time in Winnipeg.- Around The League Off Season Discussion
Sure, and he also played for the Riders. But, the Bomber staff recognized Hardrick's potential and didn't dismiss him as another failed talent. They got him to lose 20 pounds so that he'd be more mobile and look what happened. To me that's a strike against the Lions and Riders if anything.- Last time the Bombers won the Grey Cup ... sigh
When the Bombers last won the Grey Cup we still had Jobs, Hope and Cash.- Will Calgary become a "Dynasty"?
The Stamps are this decade's version of the Als from the 2000's 2010 13-5 Lost West Final 2011 11-7 Lost West Semi 2012 12-6 Lost Grey Cup 2013 14-4 Lost West Final 2014 15-3 Won Grey Cup 2015 14-4 Lost West Final 2016 15-2-1 Lost Grey Cup Interesting that the last 7 Grey Cups have been won by 7 different teams.- Maximum Value for our 1st & 5th picks
Bombers pick should be 6th of each round not 5th.- Week 20 other games.
Ok, I looked it up. Grey Cup winner picks last and Grey Cup loser picks 2nd last. All other teams are ranked according to their regular season standings. Therefore, the Bombers could be picking 6, 7, 8 or 9. The B.C. game will eliminate either 6 or 7.- Week 20 other games.
Isn't the Bombers pick position dependent on how they do in the playoffs?- WPG @ OTT Roster
Harris needs 86 yards to reach 1000 yards rushing. Hopefully he gets off to a great start, gets to a 1000 and then they sit him for Flanders. - Bombers Off-Season Transactions
