Huge Rudd fan + big Marvel tie-in implications with Ant Man = Extremely excited for this one...

I'm not sure I really "get" Amy Schumer. It seems like all the hype is that she's a chick who swears and says gross things.....yay. Been done for a long time before her. Hopefully there's more to it than that, in this flick. Personally, I'm more excited to see Hader get a starring role and Vanessa Bayer to get any kind of role...both fantastic comic actors.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/stampeders-bombers-vie-for-west-supremacy/ JUSTIN DUNK JULY 17, 2015, 3:47 PM Each week on the Canadian Football League schedule there is a matchup that stands out above the rest—a three-down showdown game, if you will. So we’ll take a look at the main storylines heading into the CFL’s marque matchup and individuals, groups, coaches, schemes or anything else that could affect the outcome. Four teams across the CFL entered Week 4 at 2-1, two in each division. And both teams in the West with that record square off in Calgary on Saturday night. The winner will stand alone atop the West Division. The Stampeders have dominated the Bombers at McMahon Stadium since 2002, claiming 11 of the last 12 meetings on home turf. Calgary tries to keep that trend going while Winnipeg focuses on starting a winning streak in Cowtown. There are a number of men that could be difference-makers in Week 4’s showcase game and it’s time to find out who they could be. Stamps lose more horses up front Calgary lost starting left tackle Edwin Harrison for the season and right tackle Dan Federkeil for a while if not the rest of the campaign in Week 3. It appears Garry Williams, a first-year CFLer, will get the chance to replace Harrison—he played in 41 games and made 21 starts for the Carolina Panthers from 2009 to 2014. And it looks like Spencer Wilson should kick out from guard to tackle on the right side with Brad Erdos sliding into the right guard spot. Erdos has never started a CFL game. It’s a reworked first-unit offensive line for Calgary that, if you count the off-season departures of Stanley Bryant and Brett Jones, has lost four starting-calibre big men since winning the 2014 Grey Cup. The Stamps’ player-personnel department, led by John Hufnagel and John Murphy, always seem to find capable players to fill in the holes and produce. But you have to wonder if a group that’s given up a league-high-tying nine sacks and consistently failed to open decent holes for Jon Cornish to begin the year can withstand losing so many key pieces. Winnipeg will provide the first test. Mano a mano Speaking of offensive linemen, two-time CFL All-Star Stanley Bryant faces the team he spent the first five seasons of his CFL career with for the first time on Saturday. Big No. 66 signed a free-agent deal with Winnipeg after winning the Grey Cup with Calgary last November. Bryant will line up across from old teammate Charleston Hughes for the first time in live game action. Calgary’s two-time CFL All-Star pass rusher, nicknamed “Stamp Machine,” will be looking to leave his mark on Drew Willy. The CFL veterans should know each other’s strengths and weaknesses very well, so it should be a must-watch matchup on each Bombers offensive snap. Speedy Stoudermire returns Troy Stoudermire looks set to make his 2015 season debut after recovering from a broken right hand that he suffered back in training camp. Winnipeg’s dynamic return man, who averaged more yards per punt return than Brandon Banks in 2014 (12.5 to 10.3), should provide a special teams boost for the Bombers. Stoudermire played in only seven games last season, but still racked up 1,192 return yards to finish third league-wide. He should be able to give Drew Willy and co. favourable field position and help Winnipeg’s offence get into the end zone—something they failed to do in their Week 3 win over Montreal. Stoudermire might even get some game reps on offence as he ran routes with the first team during practice this week, working in at the Z wideout receiver spot. Leaky Blue Bombers secondary Bo Levi Mitchell and his receivers are likely revved up from watching film of the Bombers defence. Winnipeg has given up a league-worst 332.3 passing yards per game. Alouettes slotback S.J. Green set a career-high against the Bombers with 180 yards receiving on just six catches a week ago, abusing man-to-man coverage. So look for Stampeders slot receiver Eric Rogers, coming off a six-catch, 114-yard performance, to put up major numbers.

Just in case anyone's wondering, it's been cold and rainy in southern Alberta this week, but supposed to be Sunny +25 by game time tomorrow. Should be decent conditions for anyone attending....

I don't disagree. But I expecred as much and went into it with an open mind and found it suitably entertaining I will be seeing Trainwreck tonight. Curious to know how this is. It's about as close to meeting in the middle as the old lady and I can get. Apatow movie for me, with Hader and Vanessa Bayer starring, and a chick flick for her....

We won in Calgary (by any means necessary...), we won in Saskatchewan........... #AnythingIsPossible #WhateverItTakes

I sat through that snow-mageddon last November 1..........after that game......I believe anything is possible.

Gotta think, at the very least, they'll be prone to lots of procedure and what not...

When Lavertu is your most experienced guy on the line.....man. If I had any kinda faith in the push of our Front 7, I'd be excited about that prospect. Still, it's BLM and a lot of offensive weapons. Give him time to work, and they'll kill you.

So, we beat Mtl, who beat Ham, who killed us...........

Hey the QBs and RBs on the team were more scared than anyone QFT.

It's nice when people other than our fans are scared of our OL.....

I was watching Bob McCown the other day and one of the guys on the show was saying that once the Jays came to town it hurt the Argos because now Torontonians think they are too good for the CFL. "Who wants to see Toronto play a team from Saskatchewan when I can watch Toronto play the New York Yankees". Different sports of course, but the guy sounded like a typical Toronto putz and exactly the kind of person that makes sure Canada stays united in its universal hatred of Toronto. And it's so funny because, to me, the reason I love the CFL as much as I do, is for the regional rivalries. I don't give two shits about a team from New York, but I care a whole hell of a lot about the province next door. Maybe I'm not a good sports fan because I don't care as much about Best On Best and maybe I'm too patriotic, but for me, the real beauty of the CFL is how strictly CANADIAN it is...

More than worth it, IMO. I want people literally scared of our OL....

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming I asked Mike O'Shea if Troy Stoudermire would be used in three phases. The coach simply replied he will be used in the return game. #Bombers

Hmmm interesting, as Adams was practicing yesterday, as normal....

There was some sort of internet backlash about him looking like a scrub. So they cleaned him up. Yeah, this is old news...they actually did a commercial making fun of the backlash and showed him getting cleaned up. I think that was this past winter/spring...saw it a lot during curling broadcasts on TSN.

Dat uh makes a bakersssss dozen, Bob....

In terms ability, they're different players, but in terms of attitude and leadership, Ladd is worth more money than Kesler, IMO. Now, having said that, I still don't like Ladd at the money the Ducks just paid Kesler. That was a massive overpayment and I hope the Jets don't do that with Ladd, as much as I do like the guy.

What an absurd contract to give a jerkoff like Kesler. Hope that ends up being the albatross it deserves to be...

Isn't the other board for all intents 100% dead now/? There are 3 boards....incl The Extra Point (Bombers Official board via BlueBombers.com)

It's a known fact that being a relatively small arena is one of the best things for the franchise. Lack of available tickets creates demand...

Not to make light of the situation, but this is the most Canadian thing ever......

So is this Gordon's official nickname? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd7FixvoKBw

Milt's arguing has become tiresome and annoying on there...if he wasn't a God around these parts................ I can't say I watch the panel very often... but from what I've seen it almost seems like he intentionally plays devil's advocate... just to spice it up... or something... Well of course he does...it's all a sham that's set up ahead of time. But that doesn't make it any less annoying.
