They've improved a bit recently. Kept both TO and OTT under 25 points and 400 yards offence. I mean they are not best in the league by a long shot but I do think they are coming together to some degree. And they'll be at home. Saskatchewan, I'm still not sold that they are "for real." The character of their team is just too questionable. But maybe tonight they stomp Hamilton and prove me wrong.

I just don't see how someone can sit there and say Chris Rainey did nothing wrong -

Just to be clear, this is the guy you are defending as a model citizen: Rainey, a University of Florida grad who’s played for — and was cut from — the Steelers and the Colts, has been arrested and charged twice for domestic violence: The first time as an undergrad, when he pled guilty to stalking his then-girlfriend and sending her a text saying “time to die, *****”; the second time for slapping his girlfriend, for which he pled no contest to disorderly conduct. -

That's garbage! The "rule" should apply to everyone or no one. We don't need to grandfather in wife-beaters. -

Why is Manziel a problem and not Chris Rainey? Extremely hypocritical by the league office. -
Think about it though. Why would they be meeting with bears so often if they weren't planning on using them in the name?

if Bridge plays, Cats win. Glenn plays, Riders win.

Lol! I just think it's hard to avoid that big belly coming down from the sky. Not sure how that works.

Polar Bears would have been a terrible name. I love Polar Bears but it's just not a name that rolls off the tongue. Winnipeg Polar Bears. It would be better to use the Inuit name - Nanook. The Winnipeg Nanooks. That's cool.
-
Even Vince taking the frog splash from KO seemed pretty extreme. But hey, can't hate on the guy for taking the hits himself. It would be different if he was asking someone else to do it.
-
Why was it stupid? Because of the risk? And yeah, that "fake skin" angle is where I would lean towards. Because when it started bleeding, the best way to describe it would be that the blood was "soaking through".
-
OK so I can't believe that would have been a shoot headbutt on McMahon. He is so old, it just seems too risky. And the way the blood started coming out looked VERY strange to me. I think they pulled off some advanced **** that no one has seen before. Some say Vince bladed beforehand and KO just hit him enough to open it back up but I don't even buy that. What do you think?

Hurl has better numbers than Bass this year... just saying... -
At this point, IMO, it is a matter of "when" Trouba leaves, not "if". I don't believe the reasons given for his trade request... play time/playing on his off-side. I just don't think he wants to be here and at some point he will be gone. Unfortunately.
-
The problem is.... if Little leaves after this year, who is the second line center? It's nice to think maybe Roslovic can do it but we've barely seen him play in the NHL, let alone in a top-six role. Maybe Petan/Copp/Lowry? Any of those 3 would be a stretch. And its tough for any team to attract a top-six center in free agency, even moreso for Winnipeg. So what do you do?

Hot off the Press: future CFL book titles

The Comprehensive Guide to CFL Football by @The Unknown Poster but then you open it up and it's just wrestling stories -
Rather have Mason than Bishop to be honest. Bishop had 3 good seasons behind a very good Tampa Bay team but to me, he is nothing more than average.

Are we not the best team in the league at converting redzone attempts into touchdowns?

CFL No Contact Practices Good Or Bad For League?
Atomic replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah but now your head's so messed up you can barely put together a coherent sentence. Pros and cons. -
One short playoff run and Oiler fans start waving their dicks around like Rider fans. Incredible.

He was averaging .5 points per game last season before getting injured. Fine numbers for a guy who isn't necessarily an "offensive" defenceman. He's got a cannon from the point and he plays an aggressive big-man style game. I expect his numbers will increase this year as well. There's nothing to be worried about. He will be an NHL defenceman. Probably not a top-pairing guy any time soon but he'll be a 3rd-pairing guy for the Jets within 2 years and top-4 within 5 years. Just has to keep working on his footwork. And that will come in time. Being 6'8" at 18 years old isn't easy. The usual criticism comes from non-athlete stats guys and older guys who had a taste of junior hockey who now think they're experts but I don't take that very seriously.
