I'm off to the Zac Brown Band show tonight at the Saddledome, but will have the game on PVR, just in case it's worth watching! #GoBlue #GameDayWeAllPlay

2011 was the last time, according to a FP article this morning...

Ahh revisionist history. Burke was tapped as HC, because he was the most highly touted "next CFL HC" around the league. People were TERRIFIED we were going to lose him if we didn't promote him.

Whether it's true or not, you really come across as a bitter former-insider, who's just coming here to create some drama. Gotta just move on...

I'll go Cornish this week...

Also of note: Akeem Foster into the starting receiving corps. Apparently Foster, Denmark, Edwards, Kohlert and the kid from Hamilton as our starting corps. Is is curious that Sims-Walker isn't starting full time yet?

At least they're trying...at this point, it's all I ask for.

ha! Fantastic...

Really shows how he tried to cover all bases because Kelly destroyed our NI depth so badly...

That's kind of an ignorant take. Starting a guy who's arguably a top 5 NI LB in the league is a disaster, but starting a guy who was a hardly above average CIS DB at safety is a good idea? I am assuming that you misread and are not referring to Labbe as a top five NI LB... This isn't a witchunt for Labbe... its just that we already went down this road in 2011 and it cost us dearly. He is just too slow, that's the way it goes... He wasn't too slow tracking down a guy and forcing a fumble in Banjo Bowl. Labbe might not be as good as Muamba, but that's no slight. He's still a damn good player who can get the job done. To say that he "cost us dearly" is absurd.

I'd personally change: "A" Blue Bomber Fan Community to "The" Blue Bomber Fan Community, but I suppose this is taking the high road...

I told Dave the other night that I wanted this to happen, just out of sheer morbid curiosity. I'd love to see this place just melt down...a good anthill kicking...

The Labbe hate is really ignorant...

...or he got hurt in the game?

...any thoughts on who it might be?

Agreed....the entire thing was just ridiculous.

At this point, all I really have to cheer for this season is "**** the Riders..." Anything that brings their fans misery, fills my heart.

It was a deliberately inflammatory piece, but Lawless wrote that the WBB are going to lose Henoc to FA anyhow, so they should trade him now for a proven QB. The entire article was a piece of ****, and deliberately trying to rile people up, but it's a conversation piece anyhow... Thoughts?

Not gonna throw the QBs under the bus after this one. There was a TON of probs, starting with the OL....

I just wanted you to know how hard 17to85 and I laughed at that just now.....possibly aided by whisky, but nonetheless...point stands.

Last year was pretty bad...not gonna lie. Starting with the fake FG for a TD in the first quarter, and steamrolling downhill, complete with players giggling on the sideline....it was real bad. Real ugly. But yes, I can imagine how bad LDC is, especially with the beaking from Rider fans. Stamps "fans" aren't too bad. They'll leave you alone as long as you leave them alone.

Since 17to85 is being a puss and not going, I'm not sure if I'll be at it. The gf wants to go, so we might grab tix at the last minute, but it's always a **** show at McMahon, so who knows. I've sat through so many debacles in there, I'm not sure how many more I can stomach. Dirty beatings every effing time...

I'm still undecided on Burke as a head coach, but I wanna say that this stuff about how we can't judge him because the team around him is so shitty....that's bullshit. Lawless wants to make it sound like it's a joke of a roster and Burke's had nothing to work with. I don't buy that at all. Sure, the QB situation needs to be fixed but there's still a lot of talent there.

One thing that's been brought up to me is that, as a Bomber fan in AB, we'll probably get more Bomber games out here now. I am a fan of this...

Not that there's a HUGE difference, but this should make travel easier, as we'll play more games vs West teams, which in theory is cheaper than going out to East Ont/PQ multiple times per year. While I despise the league constantly jerking us around and using us as a toy, it does make more sense for us to be in the West.
