What's with Minnesota? Someone knock this team out already.

Eating organic is of course your choice. But you should feed only organic food to your kids. Frankly if you don't feed your child organic food then I won't even let my children talk to them. And you are an irresponsible parent.

Penton also mentioned the Bombers are looking for an experienced guy. I suppose Kuale would fit that description.
-
Yay lets rehash old players!! Maybe Maurice Lloyd will return to action
-
Must be something in the pipeline. We don't have any MLB candidates even on the roster at this point. Maybe Kenny Tate... but to me he isn't an MLB type. No, I think there is a move coming.

Scroll Down To Late Hits: Micheal Di Croce
Atomic replied to iso_55's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
He actually did look good in TC last year until he re injured his foot. Not when I was watching. He was pretty brutal. Couldn't catch at all. -

Meh. Tough to hold that one against the Bombers. He has a long injury history and didn't look good at all in training camp last season. It will suck if he becomes a good player but one good mini camp doesn't mean a hell of a lot. -
as far as i know, they don't have then east of Manitoba... watching an Als/Cats game when the in-game winner is from Red Deer for the 200th time is maddening. Don't worry Safeway won't exist soon enough

Bombers sign former NFL WR Donavon Kemp
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Dan West played special teams... sorry I forgot to notice. At worst, we've already upgraded with Graig Newman. Ya good point who cares about special teams. -
Bombers sign former NFL WR Donavon Kemp
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Dead weight? When did Dan West become dead weight? We need guys like him. Our special teams took a huge hit this off-season losing Muamba, Labbe, and James Green. West is going to have to take on a big role on special teams this season. -
Bombers sign former NFL WR Donavon Kemp
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Which ones do you suggest? Who is out there? We have the most connected CIS guy in the league... they can find a couple more guys. I mean I suggest Brett Carter and Anthony Coombs but its not up to me. I just want more than three guys competing for two backup spots... especially when one of our starters gets injured almost every year. We are a little thin at NI receiver but I fully expect we will draft at least one. Probably with one of our third rounders or our fourth rounder. But I have no idea what that has to do with signing an import receiver. We can do both. -
Very interesting comments unknown poster. I am a very casual WWE fan and had no idea what the WWE network was at first. The only reason I know now is because my friend got it and explained to me what it is.

Pennywise on Monday

So a fifth rounder who doesn't become a starter but is a special teams stud, is a bad draft pick?

Officials to be made available after games?
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This is a bad idea because all the answers will be the same. "From our point of view, it was the right call. I haven't seen the film yet. We trust our guys on the field to get it right." Over, and over, and over again. -
Sask and Calgary with the highest percentages... No surprise there! Not hard to see why they're the best teams in the league.
-
I'd be surprised if the home opener doesn't sell out too.
-
I think it's all mental at this point. A stiff breeze kills these guys' confidence. Gotta blow it up. It's the only way.
-
Ain't no way Kelly wins that WR spot unless Walters and co. have really bungled their scouting this off-season.
-
You know what, I agree with pretty much everything you're saying. I'd move Morley to Centre and draft Evan Gill or Quinn Smith to help out on defence, rather than gamble on the #2 pick becoming our starting centre. But what I'm saying is that IF they truly believe that Goossen can step in and be our starting centre, then the scouting bureau rankings really shouldn't matter... a starting centre is worth the second overall pick no matter how you slice it.
-
Last year you were quite vocal about wanting us to draft number 10 ranked Mike Edem second overall, but this year number 9 ranked Goossen isn't good enough for second overall. I think you're just picking and choosing when you want to believe the rankings and when you don't.
-
The rankings are meaningless. If Bob Wylie and the coaching staff think Goossen can come in and start for us in year one, then he is worth the second overall pick. That's really all there is to it. That's why they brought him in for a workout instead of just searching "scouting bureau rankings" on Google.

How so? All it does is take away one import backup. Not ideal of course but definitely do-able and worth it if he is better than our other options. Also allows us to keep a couple extra Canadians on the roster. If he handles both duties and gets us an extra five yards every play, it makes sense... If Newman and Bucknor perform, that helps... If Watson, Stephan, Alexander stay healthy... lots of ifs Otherwise, I'd rather burn all three DIs on defence I get what you're saying but there are always going to be ifs. What if Renaud has another bad year? What if Hajrullahu isn't ready? To me, this is just covering all your bases and giving yourself options. Nobody has said we are going to use an American kicker for sure. But is nice to have a good one around if our Canadians can't do the job. I still think Hajrullahu/Renaud is Plan A.

Bombers Reject Rabb for Board of Directors
Atomic replied to Nasty Nate's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
No i'm not upset about your facts because you didn't post any...which was the whole reason I responded to your post. Doesn't even make sense. When you have something worthwhile to add, feel free. Because trying to shout down any opinion that doesn't line up with yours is just juvenile.
