I'd bring Carr back in place of Denmark, to be honest. But I love tall receivers.

Elliot was given a chance at training camp... BC's. He's 3rd string for them.

This comment is obscene. Not only is it mindless speculation but holy Christ it is massive jumping to conclusions. Completely unnecessary. 

Here's hoping Etienne grabs the spot and never lets go. 

But then again some people who don't know you won't realize how full of **** you are, so we have to make sure we point that out so no one gets the wrong idea

I give Snuggles aka Mr. "Classless" as much credence as I do Kapt. Krunch on the other site.  According to these guys, all of our players are "garbage" and when we do ever win its always a fluke.  Of course, when we lose, the I told you so's come raining down.  It's no different than everything else, some people are assholes who just want to **** on your team/political party/life and they'll always find a justification for it.

By the way, barker is a douchbag of the highest order. Without the "gift of Ray" the Argos would likely ave repeated their previous years result.

Yeah, I remember how hooped we were when we lost Fred Reid for the year.  And we're still smarting from losing Greg Carr and TJH.
 
 
Actually I think the OP's point was the opposite of "nothing's happening."
 
  Always?  Five of our 2013 starters (Pierce, Sorensen, Boatman, C. Muamba, Palardy) were signed by Mack as veteran CFL free agents.  You just wanted four, I'll show you five.   That said, it would be interesting to look at CFL rosters as a whole and see how many veteran CFL free agents you find on each so we have a basis for comparison when judging Mack's FA participation.  
  I don't think that's right.  I think the crowd around here is plenty prepared to criticize Mack.  I know a lot of people here aren't happy about keeping Buck over Elliott.  And there's was a lot of heat about getting nothing in return for Hefney.   I just think that the gang here is sensitive to criticisms that don't make sense, or are untrue. 

It's embarrassing when people refer to athletes by their first names like they're friends.

I think that pretty much says it all. Depressing to lose 52 0 for sure but let's be realistic.... that wasn't the Bombers out there last night. Probably only 8 to 10 of those guys will be on the roster and they won't be starters.

that, is unreal.. how does he pull **** like this? i just lost a ton of respect for him.. too good to play it here but gladly does it in calgary?
sickening.. classless ******..

Argo cut list
 
K/P Anthony Alix, NIP, St. Francis Xavier
WR Tyler Beiler, IMP, Bridgewater College
DL Jeremy Geathers, IMP, UNLV
WR Quincy Hurst, NIP, Manitoba
DB Djems Kouame, NIP, Montreal
DL Antonio Leak, IMP, Henderson State
FB Mike Montoya, NIP, Wilfrid Laurier
RB Quinn Porter, IMP, Stillman College
LB Jake Reinhart, NIP, Guelph
LB Paul Spencer, NIP, Concordia
CB Pacino Horne, IMP, Central Michigan
 
Geathers is a bit of a surprise... many of us thought that he and Donte Paige-Moss (another, early surprise cut) would be our import DEs
Quincy Hurst looked good and drew praise but apparently got hurt in the Bomber game... no details on that that i can find
Alix may stick on the practice roster
Horne was the big surprise yesterday
Kouame was switched to DB (he was drafted as a receiver) but maybe was made expendable by Gabriel?
Reggie Williams still hanging in...

There were two primary schools of thought on Jade Etienne.
 
"he sucks" and "let's wait and see"
 
I don't remember many, if any, people proclaiming he was a future all-star lock. But I remember dozens proclaiming with 100% certainty that he was useless garbage. If you ask me, those people deserve to have it shoved in their face when/if he proves them wrong.

at this point, I have an incredibly open mind.  I don't know if he'll do well or tank. But at least you guys could do the same, and give the kid a chance.  All the pissing and moaning about JE over the past two years has been ridiculous.  You guys just constantly set yourselves up for a fall.

That's b/c they'll hit them no matter how long the ball has been gone.

To be completely honest, I think this whole thing is getting overblown by the media.  Now that's not to say yesterday wasn't a HUGE mess - because it clearly was - but they will figure things out and people will adjust.  I've heard complaints today from people already pre-complaining for the October games... I think once everyone figures out what works best for them and adjusts their schedule accordingly it'll be fine.  At Canad Inns I think we all knew what exact time we had to leave by to get there at whatever time we thought was appropriate, but we only figured out that 'sweet spot' through trial and error.

Because they are basing their numbers on the data they have, which says Winnipeggers don't take the bus. Period. They were shocked at how well the fans listened to the message of "don't take your car" for once.
My solution? No parking at the u of m, period. Designate a bunch of large, spread out lots, away from campus and run a **** ton of shuttle buses every 5 minutes.
Or, failing that, teach the volunteers how to effectively direct traffic once on campus. Once you got past the bottleneck of idiots, there was open road all the way to the parking lot. Suggests things were not flowing correctly.

There was no way this was going to go off without any hiccups no matter how much planning you put in.

There. I feel better about how visible we've made this now.

Oh yeah and as good as my actual SEATS are, holy **** is the environment around me AWFUL. I think my section is being sponsored by the River Ridge Nursing Home. The most excitement I saw from other fans was a dude shaking his cane at the field. For real.
 
West side sucks. Why am I here.

If they ever legalize weed, I'm buying stock in Frito Lay.

Glad to hear cooler heads have prevailed.

I seem to remember a goalie in this town who did not report a DUI for two months. This will blow over (no pun intended)

I'm honestly very excited to see JE.
Would LOVE to see people eat some crow on him.

Here's a pic but it doesn't really do it justice:

Was talking to a coworker this morning who went to camp yesterday ...
 
He said Etienne made an absolutely unbelievable catch in tight coverage ... got up and pulled the Geroy pose. Apparently the entire team went nuts for it.
