if some of our losses had gone the other way, we'd be undefeated forever....

This says more about the rest of the league than anything. It's still Winnipeg and then a big dropoff to Calgary/BC...

Couldn't agree more with that!!

interesting stuff from the #1 BC Lions fan:

False:

I don't want to step on Booch's toes here, 'cause he knows more than anyone on this board, but I think the short answer is: BC just isn't a very good team overall. They have a couple of pieces (Rourke, in particular) which allowed them to over-achieve at times, but that's not sustainable. Just a couple of examples, but Calgary and Winnipeg are better overall teams (deeper, more pieces) and will always be able to manufacture a win in multiple ways (as you saw the Bombers do ad nauseum this year) but BC had to pray Rourke would pull some magic out of a hat to get their wins, otherwise they were at best a mid-pack team all year. Forgive me, Booch, but I *think* that's what was meant...

Kinda thought he might get the nod, as well. Just enough "oops" moments to go with Grant (who I have no problem with getting the nomination). Leggs had a great bounce back season and I'm looking forward to the next 10-20 years of his career!

I don't have the stats in front of me, but didn't Whyte have a pretty good year for them? In theory could have been MOC...

I can't remember if I've ever posted about this, so forgive me if I have, but one of my all time favourite movie moments is in the first Tom Holland Spiderman, when Tony Stark is going to have a press conference and announce him as the newest Avenger, and he says something along the lines of "behind that door is 100 media members......real ones, not bloggers....." and it makes me laugh and slow clap every single time I see it.

anybody watched/watching "Welcome To Wrexham" on Disney+?? A buddy just tipped me off about it, and I'm about 8 or 9 eps deep so far. Essentially, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McLhenny (It's Always Sunny...) bought a very-low-tier soccer team in Wales, which had been shitty, and are trying to turn them (and the community in which they reside) around. It's a documentary, but it's really funny in that "Ryan Reynolds-y" way with a ton of heart. My buddy described it as a real life Lasso, but it's not really that....though it has all the heart and unrelenting positivity of Lasso. Anyhow, recommendation from me on that one, fwiw...

one of these nights I'm going to fire it up, for sure. For anyone that hasn't seen it yet, if you like Gleeson, check out The Grand Seduction (featuring every working actor in Newfoundland, and then some...) which is just absolutely fabulous. It does for the province of Newfoundland and Labrador what "One Week" (Josh Jackson) does for Western Canada. It's a love letter....

Yeah this was talked about yesterday afternoon - it's wonderful that it's a running joke in the league.

IIRC, we had multiple dropped passes of our own, on offense, but those get conveniently forgotten when they don't forget the narrative. That **** always gets evened out during a game.

that's fair....also possibly Woogie....

Interesting tidbit from the local scribes about who was unanimous: So how was Demski not unanimous for MOC? I'm trying to think of who else it might have been.......an OL? Liegghio?

there's a joke in here somewhere about that picture not being Deatrick Nichols......strange error in the graphics department, I'm sure....

I hate to see it for any player, but I have a feeling about this as well....

for all the worry about karma and yada yada........ the thing you have to keep in mind is the Bombers truly are another class above everyone else in this league. Yes, come playoffs, Any Given Sunday and all that........ but we SHOULD beat every other team in the league every time because we really are that much better than everyone else, from coaching to talent on the field.

my right eye is twitching because of you assholes.....ha ha. ******* splitting hairs around here....

I'd been thinking about doing this for awhile... Good call. This trailer looks great. Looking forward to it!

I don't think Kolankowski is going to be back anytime soon..... sounds like his knee is jagged. Hasn't practiced all week. Couture is C for sure, and Dobson will be the 6th man...

I don't ever wanna wish a serious, debilitating injury upon anyone, but I'd just LOVE to see 2Jeff2Furious Texas Two Step Rourke right back onto the sideline for a long while and re-think their playoff situation.......
