  1. gary lawless ‏@garylawless 1h1 hour ago Popp says getting Muamba will have an impact for any #cfl team. "You'll have him for five or more years. That's impact." #bn
  2. Huge game. Montreal looks like they will be the Bombers' main competition for the final playoff spot. Sergio Castillo is on the roster. I'm guessing the two healthy scratches will be Selvish Capers and D. Johnson, with Castillo coming on as the punter. Nick Moore out. Justin Veltung in. For the first time in awhile we are not dressing a backup American defensive back. Risky.
  3. I assumed he aggravated it yesterday. You think this was a O'Shea decision?
  4. Not a chance Yeah I gotta say, out of all the possible results this one seems to be the most unlikely. I believe they will be able to sign both.
  5. He's played in all but two games this year including playing in both games so far this month. Just stop already.
  6. Maybe. But that OL is brutal over there. Worst in the league IMO.
  7. I would say he will start but if he's not making it happen, Popp will pop in Cato. Cato probably would be starting if he was there. He is there, he practiced yesterday and today.
  8. I'm gonna be cheering for the Riders for the rest of the season. Green is the colour!!!
  9. That was more my point, in a 10 min. scrimmage Nichols is only in there for 5 minutes. How does any QB establish timing with RB's and receivers in that amount of time? Do you think this was the only practice this week? This was the third practice this week. I know dat

  11. I thought Clitty could take a licking but I guess I was wrong. Too bad. That's probably it for his career.
  12. Haha called it. Actually not that small of a line, though. Perreault isn't big but Burmi's physical game is underrated and Ehlers is actually pretty strong on his skates as well. Tons of offensive potential with a line like that. Like a slightly larger version of the triplets in TB. Let's not go nuts...
  13. He was our most effective RB last game
  14. I find it very exciting that Crompton is starting

  17. Ok so the centers are now? Lowry/Scheif/Copp/?/ Stafford plays with Scheif and Wheeler? Where does Perrault play? Could see Burmi or Little still at centre. I don't think anything is set in stone. Perreault is one of those guys who can slot in anywhere on LW or C and I'd like to see him with Scheifele and Wheeler but he could add a lot to a line like Perreault/Burmi/Ehlers.
  18. Do you believe a coalition of NDP/Liberals could be an effective government?
  19. I could see a minority by any of the 3. And the minority will just change hands like musical chairs for the next 5 years.
  20. Too funny. Every news outlet has declared a clear winner in the debate and it's a different guy in each one
  21. Wow that is cheap!! Amazing deal really. I love the Xbox One. Rare Replay is a good time but it's unfortunate they couldn't include Goldeneye or anything from the Donkey Kong Country series.
  22. Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise. Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete. With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials. If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed. Define meaningful. Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful. I think your broken assumption is that you need a great degree to get a great job. My highest-earning friend has nothing more than a high school education (makes about $135k/year). And you are making an assumption based on one anomalous outcome. If you took say, 1000 university grads and compared their median income to the average high school grad's income, then you would have a meaningful comparison. I'm not at all denying that the average university grad earns more than the average high school grad. I'm saying someone who graduates from high school can achieve the same level or greater success than someone with a college education. There are lots of very well-paying jobs out there for non-college graduates. Most of these college athletes who graduate with "sham degrees" as someone called them, will have no trouble at all finding a job and doing just fine.
  23. Yes, what we need to do is make our offense more predictable.How does that make it more or less predictable? I'm just suggesting Moore and Denmark switch spots. No you're not. You just said you don't care where they line up, you just want Moore on deep routes and Denmark on short routes. Which is silly and predictable because the defence knows exactly what they're doing on every play. No team in pro football runs an offence that way. What's with the attitude and nit-picking man? Have you ever noticed that Moore is almost always catching passes up the middle this season? Well I'm suggesting Denmark take on that role instead. I'm suggesting they switch roles. I get it. We've seen Denmark try to play that possession role and he's okay at it but not as good as Moore. Likewise Moore isn't as good on the deep stuff. Denmark struggles to get open for some reason, other than on really deep routes. He's also not much of a YAC guy. It may or may not help reduce Moore's injuries to switch their roles but it would also make both receivers and the offence in general less effective. IMO.
