this is such a brutal thing to see.. I'd hope that the CFL fans blow up the inbox of TSN with angry emails. How do you say something like "yea we got em all!" to uh, naw, just 2..

are the drains all plumbed in and what not? If so, I imagine a ground crew with squeegees and brooms will be a temp fix.. could become a big issue though for sure if its a constant thing.. free shoe/boot covers for everyone!

and can someone fill me in on the details? I'm a rookie on this bad boy.

quite a kick in the junk for the arblows. Sucks for them but can't help but smile at the plight of our eastern rivals.

QFT I'm skimming back through the comments... seems more like 'pro-other guys' than 'anti-DB97' but that's just me. DB97 was stellar, if Cup-less. From where I sit, Stegall gets the nod because of all the records he set, despite not winning a Cup. Bud Grant also seems like a pretty good choice, if a Coach were to be featured. At this point, it doesn't really matter, now does it? Dough Brown deserves to be honored, no matter what. very hard not to agree with this. While Walby probably should have got a nod, I can't fault the fans and the team for picking Dougie.

Yea very true.. I'm still not totally sold on Mainor as an every down DE..

except Rey Williams meh.. you can't please everyone every day lol. I thought he was a bit of a locker room cancer anyway..

awesome report Mike, thanks for doin' it.

thats insane. keeps a kid from being seriously injured and gets in trouble? mind boggling.

While I don't disagree with you.. Brown is a recognizable face at this point.. alot of new fans won't know who Richard Harris was or Tyrone Jones.. You have to consider all the angles.. and its not like Brown was some rag player who doesn't deserve the recognition.. He was arguably 1-2 of the best interior defensive line men (and canadian to boot) that we have seen... I have to be honest, I just don't really care for Doug Brown. lol lol but you have to respect what he did bring to the table.

och, aye.. government is also notorious for locking down your computer to the bare minimum.. I'm surprised you can actually browse off their network.. and if this board could evolve into more then just a bunch of bomber junkies throwing posts around, the better

oh snap.. watch out for gamblor though, she a mean one..

well thats a shame.. too bad, thought he had some solid potential.. was he better then Douglas or January or would he have been strictly depth? I think they were bringing in imports to push both January and Douglas. Douglas is coming off a lost season - who knows where he's at physically (he was also never a shut down tackle to begin with). And the most I can say for January is that his play dramatically improved over the course of last season .. but he is, at best, an average tackle .. unfortunately he is also the most reliable (and definitely most seasoned) one we have on our roster at the moment. true on both counts. Knowing Douglas was hurt and possibly not coming back to form (which, your right, wasn't ever truly stellar) and January is getting older, I can't see why Carmon wouldn't want to stick around and compete.. I thought Douglas was leagues ahead of the other guys we had at camp.. Or, I suppose its plausible Mack and co told him we were going non-imp at one tackle, leaving only one spot for a camp battle..

This *could* be good , hopefully he keeps the vets in check and keeps them in place. I hope its just not loud shouting that goes ignored like back with Kelly.... It seems like Creehan is one of those special coaches who know how to yell at the right times and not come across as a ranting asshat. Players who have played for him have only glowing reports and have said they loved to play for him... He manages to get the max out of his players..

Signed and resigned. Meanwhile, Gavin Walls was three times the player over on the strong side. Walls, while I thought he was a great player while here.. I wonder how he would stack up to the DEs we have seen in the last few seasons.. Hall, Mainor, Hunt, etc.. (I don't count O'dell as he wasn't one of our finds) I do miss Canada though, seriously, was there a better last name donned on a jersey in the CFL?

I also think that a guy of his size, if he uses his body right, can be a huge asset in terms of creating mismatches down the seam. Huge physical target that *should* be able to take advantage of the smaller DBs / LBs across the league. with offenses gearing away from the run game and thus defenses turning into smaller, more agile DBs and OLBs, I agree.. I think Fitz (if he catches on quickly) can become a great weapon on the goal line and for short stuff with height and size. Hopefully he is strong on the ball as well and can fight off the smallish defenders.. I always find it funny how the CFL offenses/defenses always keep evolving from run heavy to pass heavy and ditto defenses, bigger LBs and better run support DBS then smaller LBS and quicker DBs.. Wonder when run heavy will become the norm again..

meh, I'll just stick with 1 and chalk it up to "charity" whenever I don't win

yea, while true.. It does seem like Burke is making sure the players and us fans know he is serious about it. That and the fact they did stink as a collective last season, coupled with the pile of talented DBs in camp should hopefully shake up any players who think they can coast back into the starting line.

I'll say this: thanks for jumping on board. I know that, as a team, we want to provide our community with great content and a constructive place to talk all things Bombers. glad to be here.. Great group of guys and should be some awesome discussions..

yea, pretty sad choice, truth be told.. I didn't realize the ottawa team would be playing by aussie league rules..

good call.. it does kinda seem shoddy and weak for a CFL team.. *shrug* but like Mike said, our W is pretty basic too lol.

awesome to see he user list grow, hopefully it continues and those of us willing to, will have 3 sites to keep us all entertained all day

getting fugly outside... they moving indoors or dealing with the elements I wonder..

ouchie. that ain't good.. No way to use chrome or firefox?
