**** Monahan, **** Gaudreau...**** that whole team. You talk to the fans, and they'll tell you they're basically the new Hawks. Monahan/Gaudreau = Toews/Kane. Their D is better than Chicago's, and now they clearly have the better G......... *sigh*........I ******* hate Calgary sports fans.

Kelly as show host was my first thought. I've never listened to Edmonds call a hockey game, but I don't think anyone's going to be leaving the post of NHL PBP to take on a friggin' morning show in Winnipeg. What might be interesting is a print guy with some radio experience coming over...those guys are all trying to find a life raft to get off the sinking ship, so a guy like Penton or Wiebe, who've done a little bit of radio, might be an interesting option. I still think you need an experienced jock to take on a Morning Show Host spot. It's the anchor for your station...the Morning Host brings in your audience, and it's up to each show after to try and maintain the numbers as best they can.

that's interesting. Sacrificing some size, but McDuffie has wheels to burn....

Ya you need an actual radio person to be the host. I would think if he's just a morning jock, they can find anyone to fill that spot. There's a ton of guys in the city with radio experience who can talk sports. You can bet that the current "next in line" at the station will want the gig pretty bad, but it'll be up to the PD to decide if he's ready or not. I know JR is currently looking for radio work across Canada... Have seen tweets to that effect recently... But if he's got a bad history with current management he won't be coming back anytime soon...

What is Leibl's role, exactly? I know of him, but not familiar what he does there. They'll promote from within if they feel they have the talent to do it, but they're not scared to spend money if it's the right fit.

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming Johnny Adams looks to make his season debut this week at boundary corner for the #Bombers. Suffered a lower-body injury in training camp. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers receivers Dressler & Smith did not participate in practice today. Both lower-body issues. O'Shea was hopeful Dressler could go. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers DBs Randle, Macho, and Posey, all with lower-body issues, were all non-participants today and don't look to play Friday in Montreal Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers OLs Jeff Keeping and Pat Neufeld, both with lower-body issues, are both looking progressively better but not practicing yet. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers returner Quincey McDuffie (upper-body) is back practicing fully after missing a couple games. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers starting RT Jermarcus Hardrick (upper-body) is back working with the first-team offence.

Gonna keep on the Messam train for awhile. As long as Calgary is going to keep putting up points, he's gonna be a big part of that, I reckon.

Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Randle, posey, dressler, smith, keeping, neufeld not practicing with bombers--looks like all sidelined another week at least Looks like another week of "back-ups" in there...

Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Dressler and Ryan smith running around but not practicing as bombers return to practice today

Ed Tait @EdTaitWFC The #Bombers back at work. Weston Dressler and Ryan Smith are on the field, don't look to be taking reps. Ditto for Randle, Posey, Macho

On this topic, I'm curious where Nichols contract tops out, with max playing time bonuses and stats bonuses, etc....because Tait mentioned in a piece over the weekend that there is a bit of a cap crunch for the Bombers if Nichols earns everything he's got in the contract...

The CBC cuts away from the Olys, which they paid through the nose for, to show a concert which they're losing a boat load of money on (paying expenses, not taking in a single cent of income), and people are going to complain about it.....******* Christ. Was a fantastic concert....but more than that, it was a fantastic EVENT. Had a blast watching it on Saturday. I'm never going to be considered one of those hardcore Hip fans, but I definitely love the music and it was fantastic to be a part of something with the entire country. More than 11-million people tuned in (one third of the country!!) with more than 4-million watching on TV alone. Unreal. And really glad The People's PM, JPT, who is very much part of that generation that grew up with The Hip, was able to come and hang out.

It's an interesting read because the guy clearly knows football, but there's some bias showing, for sure.

Lotta hindsight here re: Harris and Ray. Second half of last season Harris didn't look all that good, IMO, and there were questions about whether the first half was a bit of a fluke. Ray is a legend... One of the best of all time. It's not as cut and dried as some would like to make it based on this season so far.

I think we're dealing in relative terms, but he did take a cut. Thing is, none of knows the actual dollars and cents...

Hope the Riders beat or are at least competitive vs Edm next week. Want them thinking they've righted the ship before LDC...

Hank took a cut in the offseason.. Was well documented.

We heard it was a sick Gatlin....

How great is it that we end up with a medal after the Muricans and their dope fiend Gatlin get DQed in the 4 x 1? Absolutely loving it...

I believe I read that Yell wears a different kind of shoes than is league-sponsored and didn't cover up the logo, which you have to do lest a TV camera catch it...

Ed Tait.... Even more so.....

Lol @ 25 goals for Laine in his rookie year. Let's see how camp goes....

Actually you couldn't... There was so much of it. Hard to argue.

Wow when did Bob start doing Colour on top of PBP? Y'know the dude is such a pro he probably could pull it off...
