I used to be "with it"... then they changed what "it" was! Now what I'm with, isn't "it", and what's "it", seems weird and scary to me.

I want to talk about something that really grinds my gears
Atomic replied to Mike's topic in General Discussion
Yep sounds like she's a first-class ***** and a moron to boot. But we're talking food here, so.... -
I don't think that's a huge concern if we are only talking about adding, say, 4 players to make it 46/50. One extra linebacker isn't going to kill the LB coach, same for most other position groups. We're also seeing more teams bringing in extra coaches who serve as defensive or offensive assistants. For example, last year Saskatchewan had both Barron Miles and Richard Kent coaching their defensive backs. I don't think coaching would be an issue. Meaningful practice reps are possibly a legitimate concern, but the fact is right now there just isn't room to develop enough players. Imports come directly off the practice roster and start when there is an injury. Surely it would be better for them to get into games beforehand and get some rotations on offence/defence and participate on special teams. I don't buy the argument that "Having more players who barely practice and never play won't help player development." It is better for a player to be working out with the team and sitting in the film room and learning the team's system than it is for him to be sitting on the couch at home, even if he is only getting a few real reps per practice. I don't think that teams need a huge expansion to the rosters, but I do feel like they are just a bit too small right now. Expanding to 46 active players (3 QB, 21 Imports, 22 Non-Imports) and 50 total, would give teams a little more latitude in deciding who to keep around and increase their ability to develop their young players.

The bar in grand marais as you drive in. I think it's called the Sand Box but I always remember it as Mike Mercury's. It has vlt's, a restaurant, bar, patio, vender etc The Sand Bar, actually. Lots of people still party there. Bit of a hassle to get to and from, but still good. -

Cabin owners complained about the Surf Club being too rowdy, so they adjusted the closing time to 11:00 pm rather than the regular 2:00 am. A few years later, the place was a ghost town and now it is closed down. What a waste. -

Santa Lucia has gotta be the most overrated pizza in the city. Good but not great. -

Dominos is absolutely awesome now. They changed a couple years back and it is far better now, one of my favourites. -
I like it, I wake up with the sun so I need the extra hour in the morning or I will be late for work.

There is no lawsuit that can win because someone said something on the internet. That's what free speech is there to protect. Now they could I suppose depending on what was said go in front of one of those unconstituational human rights commissions but those are a whole different discussion that is probably best left alone cause it'll get more than a few people riled up. You never know. I believe Brian Burke is still trying to sue Poonerman, Slobberface, and Sir Psycho Sexy for claiming online that he cheated on his wife with Hazel Mae from Sportsnet and got her pregnant. -
Football Gameplan's 2014 CFL Mock Draft - March
Atomic replied to EmDiggy's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yes, I believe we will draft an OL. -
IMO that shouldn't make a difference. Just take the best player... realistically this isn't going to be a one-year turnaround so we shouldn't be skipping out on a better player just to get someone in camp this year. Now, if there is legitimate NFL interest, then that should obviously weigh into the decision as well.

Football Gameplan's 2014 CFL Mock Draft - March
Atomic replied to EmDiggy's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Hey this video is not bad. Definitely a different perspective. I have a hard time seeing us using our first round pick on Beau Landry, but who knows. I am interested to see what happens with Duvernay-Tardif... I kinda agree that he will fall in the draft due to NFL interest. -
Any wagers on how long the new team in Ottawa lasts?
Atomic replied to IC Khari's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
If they ever bring back the Titty Cam we know the end isn't far off -
I don't believe that Walters would draft a guy just because he is a centre if he feels there are better offensive linemen available that are guards or tackles.
-
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has NFL aspiration and is doing his own pro day. Not Lavertu. Looks like Ottawa will now take Lavertu with the Bombers likely (in my opinion) taking Goossen. Lawless said Walters told him his top 3 picks are Duvernay-Tardif, Lavertu, and OL David Foucault. So in all likelihood it will be one of those 3.

When did they open a Carl's Jr on Garwood??? It's not even on their website. I'd like to check it out... -
BS, I implied no such thing. I said that's what my offer would be if I was the league. Not my fault if you read something that wasn't there. Adding the line "more then fair" after your offer implies to me that is what you believe it should be.. Just sayin. I said exactly what I meant to say, and you are reading more into it than what is there. Like I said, not my fault. I couldn't agree more.
-
So the league offered exactly what I suggested they should offer. Funny! And here I was being told I wasn't even close with my initial offer. I guess all the business experts here need to study up a little bit to get on my level. Well not to be an ass buy you were inplying thats what it would be and as you can see, thats the first offer.. The badgering between the 2 will leave that number in the dust im sure.. BS, I implied no such thing. I said that's what my offer would be if I was the league. Not my fault if you read something that wasn't there.

Our fickle-ass fans would be the biggest issue... I think Glenn's a reasonable enough guy that he wouldn't hold Mike Kelly's sins against Walters/O'Shea/Miller; 3 entirely new leaders. BC does have greater resources than we do right now to throw at the problem, so if that's what it comes down to, I'm completely fine with booing him as a Lion. BTW... a trade to BC would make Toronto and Edmonton the only CFL teams Glenn has not been a part of. He'd be a modern day Dunigan! Technically he has been an Argonaut. He would actually be missing Edmonton and Montreal.
-
Most teams carry 4 or 5 QBs through the season. No reason Hall and Brohm couldn't both stick around if we got Glenn.

Hell I'm still a big fan of Gondola pizza. But as far as small places go, Calabria just off Kenaston is pretty damn good. Not just pizza but also pasta and subs. -
Why does everyone forget this game???? This was the worst game I went to in Winnipeg. 3 minutes into the 2nd half, I went to the store, then walked to my car. Nov 2, Hamilton 37, Wpg 7 Name Comp Att Yards TD Int HALL, M 18 35 160 0 1 Worst game I went to was when BC was here. What a total disaster.
