That's a narrow point of view, it's not just about sacks, it's about sacks, hits, and hurries. Not to mention forced holding calls.

Bowman came in with the Riders, not sure who was in charge at the time. Mike Kelly/John Murphy brought him to Winnipeg. Willis started out in Calgary, brought to Winnipeg by Kelly/Murphy. Matthews was a Mack find but he isn't in the league right now which I believe was the question. I don't know why my name changed, the mods must have done it.

I thought Lemieux was done but I could be wrong. Anyways according to reports from development camp he looks like one of our most "ready" prospects.

Johnny Sears Chad Simpson Alex Hall TJ Harris (haha) Jason Vega Moton Hopkins That's all I can come up with.

That may be a helluva epitaph for Willy and O'Shea. "Famous Last Words" type of stuff.

It's always gotta be a black and white issue, eh? Always about the polar extremes... You're the one with the black and white avatar. yes actually. shame on you for calling everyone liars. it pretty crummy of yoy. I didn't call anyone a liar, not even once.

Idiotic, really. "We expect them to bring more pressure but we certainly don't plan on doing anything about it."

OK guys the head cheerleader has spoken so I guess we can put this issue to rest. Those of us concerned about Willy's health are evil, dastardly people out to destroy the Bombers and football in general. Shame on us.

Calgary lost a couple good OL and a couple good receivers. They're not a 15-3 team anymore but they are still at the top of the league. Hard to imagine anything other than a Ticats-Stamps Grey Cup this season.

See that's some scary ****.

I like that they're trying out some different guys on the DL. Kashawn Fraser was pretty good last year when he got a chance.

That's a good point. I wonder about some of these cars that can park themselves or brake when you're getting to close to the person in front of you. This is giving a little too much control to the computer systems and therefore anyone who gains control of the computer systems. TUP posted an interesting theory in the missing Malaysian flight thread that involved a hacker gaining control of the plane through a certain panel that could be exposed in the cabin. Of course, this is the trade-off we all consider. Having computer systems in planes allows us to do a lot of good stuff. It's a security risk but do the benefits outweigh the risk? That's the question we have to keep asking.

These so-called cyber attacks don't serve much of a purpose... and I say so-called because I don't think they are originating from foreign governments. You wouldn't openly hack something just to prove you can do it, because then the vulnerability gets patched. It would be pointless... basically just a giant act of government ****-swinging. I guess you can't rule that out altogether. As for the U.S., wikileaks has released plenty of documents that shows that the U.S. actively engages in cyber espionage. I'd be surprised if the U.S. isn't capable (possibly more capable than anyone on Earth) of large-scale cyber-attacks and their hand has just never been forced.

I know they lined up with Briggs and Hurl in the middle of a 3-4 during training camp a few times. The 3-4 has been practiced before, this isn't a new development.

Every time you put a piece of software in something, it introduces a security risk. The size of the security risk depends on who created the software. But every piece of software has a vulnerability, even if it hasn't been discovered yet. This puts our need for security directly at odds with our desire for the automation provided by software. Couple this with a software industry that is still very young in comparison to other critical professions like engineering and medicine, and you have a recipe for disaster. The software industry is still searching for the best ways to build software, but the world isn't willing to wait. So what do we have now? The so-called "Internet of Things", where everything is connected. You can get refrigerators that are wi-fi compatible. Do we really need this? On the other hand, someone hacking your fridge wouldn't be the worst thing. But when we talk about cars, planes, machinery.... missile batteries.... you have to wonder if the push for progress is growing beyond our grasp.

But what does it all mean, Mark?

lol well if CapGeek still existed this would be much easier. I just think that he would have gotten at least 6 mil when you look at Frolik getting 4.3 as a baseline. How much more would someone pay for Ladd, who is obviously the superior player in pretty much every way? You gotta think the price tag is $6 million or more, for at least 5 years. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/cap-central/team.php?team=WIN Thanks. Is this site accurate? There's a few sites out there with numbers but I think most of them were pulling from CapGeek and they're kinda struggling now that it's gone.

Buffalo or Florida would have signed him for sure

She is pretty good. Natalya had the crowd chanting "Foxy! Foxy!" I'm actually not a huge fan of Summer Rae. She doesn't seem like she's very good in the ring. Not that I know anything but she just seems sloppier. My favourite is Nikki Bella. She's awesome. Too bad she wasn't there. Best match was the main event for sure. Ambrose vs. Rollins in a "Winnipeg Street Fight". Tables chairs and kendo sticks involved. Ambrose almost won but Bray Wyatt came running down and interfered. Roman then reappeared and he and Ambrose chased off the other two and the night ended to Ambrose or Reigns' theme... Can't recall which. Prime time players opened the night with a win over Ascension. I like PTP. Titus O'Neil is an absolute beast. One of my favourite wrestlers right now. Roman Reigns entered the arena for his match right near where I was sitting. Pretty cool!

The best sports writers in the country don't cover the CFL. Why would you expect the best from the B Team? You are pretty quick to criticize the club and coaches but happy to give the media a pass. The best athletes in the country don't play in the CFL. Why would you expect the best from B players and coaches? You say that like I'm always critical of the club and coaches which could not be further from the truth. I am quick to defend the Bombers when I believe they are in the right and quick to criticize when I believe they are in the wrong. And I treat the media the same way. Honestly these were a couple tongue in cheek tweets from guys when there's not much going on. There has been OK coverage of the Bombers this year. They tell us the facts. I wouldn't trust their opinion on anything more than that. I've long been an advocate of local news outlets employing a former coach, player, or scout to write more detailed football analysis articles. The guys we have are here to write fluff pieces and to be honest that's what's the average fan is looking for. I know tweets like this get the hardcore fans riled up but they're only joking. We all know who Paul Friesen is and what he's all about.

Are they charging you to read tweets? In my opinion the free press coverage of the bombers has been outstanding

It depends on the market. If he was a UFA this year he would have cleared 7 mil.
