I didn't see a lot of Jets pre-season (nothing televised in AB) but I did get to the game in Calgary, and I'll tell you that Hutchinson was the Jets first star, without question. Woulda been 10-2, if not for that guy....

Farley was brilliant...that he had the respect of everyone he worked with speaks volumes. He wasn't just funny, but a fantastic actor. Those two things are rarely seen together, but Farley had it in spades. Shame about the demons...

with a writer as good as Randy Turner, you don't ask for LESS words.......

CFL football is my sport, period. The only thing that comes close to my passion for the CFL is curling during The Season Of Champions, and that's a ways off. Hockey starting is great, sure, but nothing gets me amped like that one game a week when the Bombers are playing and, for a brief moment, I get that feeling like the next week might be okay cause the Bombers won. There is NOTHING like the Bombers and CFL ball...

Absolutely zero chance of Ott beating BC next week so it's basically toast. We'll need a miracle...

Don't pay any attention to last nights 4th Q. The first 3 quarters is the real Stamps. They just took their foot off.

I think the 4th quarter wasn't indicative of the Riders so much as the Stamps just taking their heads outta the game. Once momentum shifts it's real hard to turn the tide.

Well I can promise you we lose next week In Edmonton because I'll be in attendance...

He was actually watching Ray's game film, and happened to see Roberts ON that tape, and immediately got a hold of him. Not sure why he didn't continue his pursuit of Ray, but I assume the tape wasn't very good...

Does he have a connection with MOS from last year?

Someone said recently that we look like the 2000 Bombers again, but in my mind we're still the 1999 Bombers. A loooooong way from 1998, but still a ways to go before 2001......

And you are wrong to do that. Game 1 was lost purely because of turnovers. Our offense generated more points for the riders via turnovers than the Riders offence did. Labour day I will concede the defense most of the blame, they let that last drive happen too easily. Banjo Bowl was again turnovers. The D got the offense the ball back twice in the dying moments of the game, the first one they threw a pick and that was basically it. Can't be turning the ball over like that and expect to win. And I really believe that injuries have a lot to do with the turnovers, too...

Yeah, I was going to respond to him with "Short answer: You're wrong. Long answer: Something something, Coach, QB, Build From There, Something something..."

Me and my arch-enemy 'The Turnover' heartily disagree with you. This is biggest reason for the free fall the past seven weeks. One we have gave up a lot of turnover and conversely have not forced that many. Have to start winning the turnover battle this team at the moment is not good enough to lose it. Disagree. Injuries are the biggest reason for the free fall the past seven weeks.

Just f***ing win. By any means necessary, just f***ing win.

If what this quote says is true, why wouldn't Etch be back? Because some fans on a messageboard have preconceived notions about his defense?

Oi vey......

interesting about Renaud...sad to say that might be a really bad sign for his career.

ehh...they're okay. I don't hate either of thier first singles, so.....ehh.

it's an atrocious movie. That scene where Wiig and the other broad are trying to one-up each other with the toasts....I couldn't watch that because it was SO uncomfortable. So horrible. The only redeeming thing in that movie is McCarthy being just disgusting, and even that's only a little bit funny. McCarthy really is the female Chris Farley....Farley did the SAME humour, and people worshipped him for it (...still do...)

If the Bombers are going to continue to tank this season, the Riders being thoroughly embarrassed in every way eases my pain...

re: Practice on Weds Oct 1 Not much to report other than Willy back at the controls and throwing with "zip" according to Friesen. Appears to be ready to go. Not much else being reported on Twitter...

a damn shame, but I guess we'll see what The McGuffin is all about...

Best thread in ages....

I bought a Wii when they were still pretty new, but mostly as a social-gaming thing. I like to entertain, so it was a nice thing to have for groups of people at the house. Honestly, I spend more time "retro-gaming" than anything. I have a Retro Duo and Retro Trio (the Retro Duo plays NES/SNES games with SNES controllers....the Trio is new, it plays NES/SNES/Genesis games with any of the 3 controllers) and play a lot of the old EA NHL games from the mid 90s and some other stuff from back in the day, too...
