I'm on the other side of the fence, for sure. I expect entertainment. Does anyone actually get "info" from the radio anymore? I can get more information from 10 minutes on the internet than a 3 hour radio show will ever provide. I'm there for the banter, the discussion, and the entertainment value. The Cory Woron vs Jay/Dan comparison is a little different. Woron is great as a pure highlights guy. But he's never going to carry a show like the Jay and Dan podcast, which is excellent. Two different mediums really. That said, I loved Jay and Dan on Sportscentre, too. i'm sure Edmonds appeals to the 50+ crowd just fine, but that's not the target demographic.

I believe Jay pissed off the "You'lllllll find us!!" guy from Best Sleep Centre, and around the same time he also engaged with a troll on twitter. He told the troll to "eat a d*ck" if I recall correctly. The troll was deserving of that and far worse for the things he was saying. But the troll escalated it to the TSN bosses and whether he deserved it or not, it was determined that Jay's behaviour was unacceptable and they let him go.

Edmonds was "great"? Westwood is "horrible"? Is your favourite meal a slice of white bread with a glass of water on the side? It would appear that you have a taste for the bland and boring.

They signed him in January so not really a whole year yet.... he has played in five games, plus pre-season.

He's definitely never been shy talking about being Jewish, seems like he embraces it pretty fully, I just didn't realize it was to that degree.

Beyak is far better than Edmonds on PBP but i would still take Edmonds over Brian Munz. Munz is the worst... hopefully he doesn't end up on the morning show. Edmonds on the morning show however was not good either. I also can't see Rewucki taking over, he is not a fit for that role. Jim Toth would actually be a pretty good fit, I think... that would be the natural choice. Jay Richardson was fine but as others have said.... tough to see him coming back. Other choices could be Darrin Bauming or maybe the Freep's Jeff Hamilton if he is interested, as he has lots of print and radio experience. I don't get the Westwood hate. I didn't like him as a player for the Bombers but I think he's a great morning-show type guy. Definitely the best they have right now. He is entertaining. Leibl leaving to become a rabbi seems like a joke? Is that for real? Best of luck to him if it is true. Very interesting career transition.

I know, that's kinda what I mean. It definitely wasn't *only* a blade. I just think maybe there was a small blade and then Lesnar bashed it a couple times to open it up.

That just seems so unlikely to me, with all the issues surrounding concussions and head injuries, that you would order a wrestler to take a couple stiff elbows to the head unprotected. Blading first would make it so Lesnar didn't have to hit as hard.

My initial thought was that Orton bladed and then Lesnar used his elbow to open up the gash. To me it looked like Lesnar was aiming for a specific spot with his elbow, hit once, it didn't work, so he struck again. I believe blading first would allow more control over the size of the cut rather than just ordering Lesnar to split Orton's head with his elbow alone. Does that make sense to you, TUP? Is that how it may have went down?

James Franklin is probably the most coveted young QB in the league right now, there could be interest in him from both Montreal and Saskatchewan, and even Winnipeg if the season goes awry... or maybe Winnipeg will be interested regardless. I could see him getting moved in a deal similar to what Edmonton paid to get Mike Reilly.

I'd be pretty shocked if McMuffin is a full time starter. He might get some reps but I don't see how they can have him out there on every snap. I can see him on kickoff returns and part-time on offence.

I'd be surprised if it's not Hellebuyck but I was surprised when they sent him back down last year so I don't know...

I wouldn't put it past Chris Jones to get rid of Durant this off-season.

Saw a tweet that said Johnny Adams is in for Frederick

Keep in mind we might lose Chungh this off-season. Our Canadian depth on the OL is still razor thin. I'd keep Neufeld around at least until after free agency and the draft so we know what we have to work with. Couture doesn't seem like he'll be ready to start next year and hopefully we don't have a top 3 draft pick...

Great post MyDogHasScheifeles

Balderdash! If 23 goals counts as 25-30, then 23 years old is pretty much 26, right?

So... 1 last year and 4 the year before, in the entire league. Ya, that qualifies as rare, actually... never mind the fact that most of your 'rookies' are 22-26 years old... which Laine and Connor aren't.

Maybe you aren't, but there have been several posts lately like this one:

If you don't want to discuss it you don't have to. No need to shout down those who do want to.

Gotta love these poll results so far. 26-0 for both Hamilton over Sask, and Ottawa over Montreal. Not often you see unanimous results.

Lol. Yes, every player is going to improve, all the rookies will be successful, and the PP is going to be awesome. Unfortunately reality gets in the way.

How can you judge a team's performance without considering their opponents?

I really think that TBURGESS is taking a lot of unnecessary flak here. The question was "Is it real?" To me, answering that question requires going beyond "a win is a win." It is undeniable that the team is playing better, that's obvious from the 3 game winning streak. But where do the Bombers stack up against the contenders like BC, Ottawa and Calgary? And to a lesser extent Hamilton and Toronto with Collaros and Ray, respectively. To answer that, you have to take a deeper dive into each game which includes noting the facts that TBURGESS is talking about. It's also similar to the people saying that all the replacements are playing better than the starters. Well, let's see CJ Roberts, Travis Bond, Manase Foketi and Taylor Loffler going up against Calgary, BC and Ottawa before we make any grand proclamations, maybe?

We've also lost Ladd's 20-25 goals. So Laine is expected to replace 40-45 goals between Ladd and Stafford's absence? Not high expectations at all... or wait, are we expecting Armia to pot 20+ as well? Now that's a laugh and a half.
