You think Roman is a ratings mover? I don't. It's time to do something different.

I like Moonraker and Goldeneye.

I think everyone is expecting Reigns or Ambrose to end up with the title, or maybe a guy like Lesnar or Cena if they can swing it. But I would go in a totally different direction. What's the biggest act in the WWE right now? The New Day. Put the title on Big E.

MJHL is worth watching. Basically a step down from the WHL. Lots of Manitoba guys that couldn't quite make it in the WHL end up in the MJHL and some of the top players from Manitoba high school hockey as well, although most of them end up in the MMJHL. I believe the eligible age for the MJHL is 17-20 whereas the WHL is 16-20 and the MMJHL is 17-21 with the stipulation that you can`t be a 21 year old rookie (to prevent WHL and MJHL over-age players from flooding the league after their final year). The Steelers play in a nice facility. The Blues of course play at the Iceplex in the main (Winnipeg Free Press) rink which is nice too but nothing like Selkirk's arena.

As for me... Time to drop the bomb. Blow it up. Kyle Walters isn't the guy. I believe O'Shea could possibly be a good coach under a new GM but I don't think any new GM would keep the old coach so we have to blow it up. I don't have the answers but Walters isn't the right guy to guide this team back to respectability and we were naive to think a Canadian "special teams coach/general manager" was ever going to do that.

You can go on and on with all the theatrics but when the Bombers inevitably win some day you'll be smiling.

Why not just give him a one way deal to get him under contract? He could be good depth and also we can still send him down just have to pay him his full salary which I assume would be near league minimum so not a huge problem.

He looks a lot stronger and steadier on his feet. He is going to score a lot of goals this season.

If WWE dies there will be something else to take its place. Wrestling will always have a niche, but it will never again be as popular in the mainstream as it once was.

I've liked Hurl from day one and I wouldn't want him to be released in favour of Muamba but I guess it's just confusing for me when I look at Hamilton and Ottawa stockpiling 7-8 high end Canadian defensive linemen but for some reason we don't have room for 2 good Canadian linebackers.

Pav looked OK. I'm expecting a lot out of our defence this year. All veterans, all have time in the system now. Say what you want about Byfuglien but the top six is looking real good and I have no problem with Postma/Pardy as the 7/8 guys. Defence is going to have to carry this team at times this year but I think they're up to it. Myers looks really good, I think he is really going to get his career back on track this year. Don't tell anyone I said this but he might end up in the Norris conversation. Yes I think he has that potential.

Didn't realize it was an either/or situation. But I guess it was. Bombers, would you like the more talented Canadian or the less talented American? Oh we'll choose the American of course.

Heel or face it doesn't matter, Cena will get half boos and half cheers.

We don't need star players anyways. Not the Bomber way.

Faith bro

I think the answer is to bring in some strong stables. They don't really have any these days. Sure there is the Authority but that's not really a stable. I mean like DX, NWO, Nation of Domination, The Ministry, etc. That would also help with the fans not knowing who to cheer for. They could latch on to certain stables and it would be easier to distinguish between heel and face. And the opportunity for more continuous storylines without the exact same matches would be greater.

Are we having trouble attracting assistant coaches here? Stubler chose Hufnagel and Calgary over Winnipeg, but can you blame him? Other than that, we've been able to bring in veteran guys like Richie Hall, Bob Wylie, Todd Howard. It's not like Marcel Bellefeuille still has a job just because we can't find anyone to replace him.

Not gonna lie, I turned off RAW after Kane beat up Rollins. Looks like the Wyatt vs Reigns match was actually pretty good. It's too bad we've already seen that one.

The game is in Winnipeg and I just had a vision that the team is going to go 4-1 over the final 5 games. Get ready everyone. This is very exciting.

I think we should explore this angle a little more.

Nope I disagree. A big part of the appeal is the Canadian players. Not just because I am Canadian and patriotic but because of the added roster intrigue. How do you juggle the roster in order to field the best possible lineup? How often have we all had that discussion? Remove the Canadians and it just becomes the B-League to the NFL, for what would really amount to a very slight improvement in the skill level.

But Adams is allowed the yard from the line of scrimmage. He CAN move. Unless you're insinuating the rule should be changed? No I'm insinuating that he moved off the LOS. He's more than a yard away from the line judge when the ball comes up and the LJ should be on the LOS to get the right angle. He moved off with the 1/2 step he took back, but with the LOS being the 37 1/2 yard line, his right foot was on on the 38 when the ball was snapped. He was only about 1/2 yard off the LOS (which is allowed) regardless of where the side judge was standing. I'm going from the loop I saw on twitter after the game showing the LJ pointing while Adams was moving then Adams settling down and taking a half step back. CFL and TSN game logs say 37 yard line. Of course that could be 37 1/2. I can't find the loop anymore, do you have a link? https://twitter.com/DTonSC/status/647854707764031488 Thanks. Looks like Adams is indeed still within a yard after the step back. That means the explanation from Johnson is wrong and the LJ must of messed up where the LOS was. Can't fix that. That's not what went wrong. The official explanation is much more complex. I encourage you to listen to the first ten minutes of tonight's coaches show once it's up on the CJOB site. I just heard it but I can't explain it, I will screw it up... just go have a listen when you get a chance. But it had nothing to do with where Adams was or whether he had moved.

Experience matters a lot. Toronto got it right when they hired the "inexperienced" (Pro coach since 2003 and asst HC in Montreal) Milanovich and Edmonton got it right when they hired "inexperienced" (Pro coach since 1998 including Asst HC/GM in Toronto) Jones. We got it wrong when we hired "inexperienced" (STC since 2010) O'Shea. Rookies are a higher risk whether it's as a player, HC, GM or CEO or any other job for that matter. Take the higher risk and you may get rewarded, but it's more likely that you'll be replacing them more often than an experienced person with a quality track record. You know we could also look at Pinball Clemons who had basically no experience and made a pretty good head coach. Just get off the experience thing and say what you really mean, stop hiring duds and hire someone good. I mean really you want a proven experienced hire so what are we doing? Dragging Don Matthews or Dave Ritchie out of the old age homes to run the teams for us? Cause other than that the list of guys with experience have been tried and failed. For every Clemons, there are several Burke's, O'Shea's, PLAP's and Kelly's. You seem to be ignoring the term more likely.Tom Higgins has an above .500 record. Yah, he was fired by Montreal, but O'Shea wouldn't have lasted a year and half there either. Mike Benevides has an above .500 record. Yah, he was fired by BC, but that's because they don't take losing lying down. Now I'm confused. So Benevides had enough experience but Lapolice didn't?
