Maybe the Bombers want to go back to 3 NI on the OL and 1 NI on the DL

Hughes is 2 years older than Westerman and Bowman 3 years older. I'm not saying Westerman's career is over or anything of the sort, just that he's starting to approach the age where most players start to drop off. Just because Jaromir Jagr can play hockey at 46 doesn't mean all players can, and the same principle applies to a guy like John Bowman. It's different for everyone but there are some common trends that apply in *most* cases.

Westerman is also turning 32 this year so who knows how much gas he has left in the tank.

They seem to like the "casual clothes" for the surprise debut. Gallows and Anderson looked about the same when they first appeared and others have as well. I think it goes back to the original appearance of Hall and Nash in WCW... seems more "real" when they are in street clothes? I don't know.

I think we might see a Pav-Helle rotation for the remainder of the year unless one of them starts playing well.

There's no way we're out of it right now. IF this team can find the balls to put together a 3 game winning streak for the first time they'll be right back in the race.

You might be thinking of Robert Marve

The Ellsworth bump was rough. I think it was supposed to be rough but not that bad. He was supposed to land on his feet a little more but they clipped the top rope on the way over. That would be my assumption. One of the announcers said "Ellsworth is going to need a hip replacement!!!" Ummm... yup.

Jeff Perrett can definitely still play but not at the huge salary he was likely receiving. Maybe time to move him inside to Guard ala Gene Makowsky at the end of his career.

Love the memes and gifs people are coming out with though. Lol.

Loved the whole rumble until Roman came out. I get why they did it, to swerve everyone into thinking Roman was going to win. But really come on. Should have been Samoa Joe at 30. And Kane at 27 or whereever Enzo came out.

"It's not for kids." Based on what? Kids love it. Was coaching at my nephew's hockey practice yesterday and they were all talking about it. The Jets in-house skills comp is full of kids if you ever go watch that. It's literally all about the kids. Anyone can see that.

I know we're all hating Trump right now but damn she lays the smackdown on these View harpies:

Not necessarily a requirement for getting a look in the NFL though. LeFevour, Graham Harrell both got looks without any real success in the CFL.

Classy

I would expect his agent to gauge interest. He will only be 26 so there may still be some teams who would give him a look... maybe not a serious look but an opportunity nonetheless. The question is whether he is at a point in his life where he would want to take a shot at the NFL with the very slim chance of making it or take starter money in the CFL if it is being offered to him.

The Skills competition is for the kids. They love it. Yeah it's kinda lame but not everything has to be tailored to the middle-aged hardcore sports fan.

You assume that you can find good players with bad stats but are unwilling to look. It's easy to prove anything incorrect when you only have to do it in your mind, free from the bounds of logic, facts and reason.

It's been the norm for years. Person B is just getting louder.

It doesn't look good in Argo-land but if they are able to land a superstar GM/HC combo then things could turn around real quick. With the Riders there isn't really any such hope.

1. I'm 100% sure you could. 2. How do you expect to be taken seriously when you say things like this? "I'm ignorant and will continue to be, but your argument is incorrect based on something I have imagined to be true."

I think what it comes down to, is that if you are disagreeing with what the numbers say, you've gotta have a pretty good argument as to why. Those arguments exist in certain cases and are perfectly valid but sitting around saying "Well that just shows we shouldn't trust statistic XYZ" doesn't really advance the conversation at all.

Every team (to my knowledge) has an analytics department now to some degree. It's a tool to be used like any other. Looking ONLY at Corsi, etc is a mistake and writing it off completely is also a mistake.

And let's be honest... when your boss gets fired you probably aren't feeling super secure in your position. Even if it's not more money, why wouldn't he take an NFL opportunity right now? It will only increase his reputation in the CFL and someday a desperate team will probably throw a bunch of cash at him to come back and run their team.

The Hydro PowerSmart advertising program is worth it but I don't know why other crown corps need to. I saw an ad at Shaw Park for the Winnipeg Parking Authority. WTF?
