This worries me a little.

From Arash Madani's tweets, it doesn't seem like the players are a big fan of his either.

Out of curiosity, for the people who are OK with Austin's behaviour... would you be as accepting if the situation was reversed (ie Stala intentionally going after Austin)? People have brought up Stala's reputation as a loudmouth but Austin has a rep of being an @sshole (and this just adds to it) so is he fair game for players now too? Personally, I don't think coaches/players should ever come into contact like that... if the coach has a problem, get a player to send a message.

I can't imagine that actually coming to fruition. If Henoc is willing to play for a losing team he'll come here. And if he's willing to visit BC, playing close to home can't be that big of a consideration.

Not only did the find him... they passed on him 3 times! After his 4th tryout with the Bombers, he finally got invited to camp. He didn't "fit" whatever Etch was doing with the linebackers so that's why he never got the call until this season.

Or Greaves might get you a 2nd rounder and an important o-lineman!

I've been watching it. I loved the first half of the season but the rest of the season hasn't been as good in my opinion.

Doesn't inspire confidence in Davis when they said he's only been here for a month but didn't know enough to play yet.

And how is that substantially different from an import player who goes back to the US of A, flunks out and then tries to return to the CFL? You pays yer money and you takes yer chances. If the player has been treated well, he will probably but not certainly return to his former team. No guarantees in this business- even if you hold the rights to a given player who goes to the NFL, by the time he is done there, he could be too beat up or past his prime to be of any value here. This. It doesn't even matter if they go to the NFL or stay in the CFL. A guy like Picard is a perfect example... we drafted him, he played out his contract and then bolted as a free agent. No NFL involved but we still lost him. Complaining that a team doesn't retain the rights to a player (rookie or vet, Canadian or American, it doesn't matter) after they have played out their contract is ridiculous. It happens in all sports (although some leagues do it differently with RA/UFA status).

No, no you don't. The Bombers wouldn't have the rights to Mulumba or Bilukidi if that were the case.

Lawless is tweeting that Marve is hurt so the party won't be happening just yet.

Dawkins did name his dunks but that one came from Isaiah Rider.

Agreed, I'm stuck in Saskatoon this weekend so I thoroughly enjoyed the end result.

This is how I feel about their provincial party here too. With the disaster that is the Selinger government, the Mb Libs should have been able to gain some momentum but I haven't seen it. I'm sure Bokhari is a nice enough person but after 2 years, the only thing I can remember her saying is she wants to lower liquor prices... and I only remember that because it's recent.

The Argos think they have us right where they want us without Willy but they're going to come up a little bit short.

And because it never gets old...

Toronto is lucky Richards isn't playing otherwise he'd be laying the smack down.

After Marve burns the Argo's for a long TD run

If this is accurate, we might not see Mulumba for quite a while, if ever. http://gnb.247sports.com/Bolt/Five-knee-jerk-reactions-to-Day-9-of-Packers-training-camp-38663702

Bar was Boogie Nights (formerly Stardust). The house band was the Boogie Knights Band. Right right right....I remember now. Man that place changed names a LOT....last I checked, it's still Cowboys...... Yeah thats the Canad Inns way. They just closed Area nightclub, presumably to open up as something else but the whole Pembina HWY bar scene died a slow death. I was 18 working at Grapes on Main, went to Pier 7 and Scandals at 19. U4IA at...21 I think. Stardust was still Stardust when I was there, then became Boogie Nights. Then I think it was the Coliseum which never worked (what kind of identify is that) and finally Cowboys which has worked out well as a hot country bar. Leanne Pearson plays (or played) there a lot and she's great. I dont go to bars much anymore but if I am asked, I'd go to Cowboys. The LID was awesome until it closed, though Im biased. ;-) Yep, they went with the Roman theme to go with the Egyptian one next door at Pharoah's.

No love for Bullwinkles aka the oak? It was safari or rum jungle when I was young. Buffalo Bills was where it was at. Yep, the worst thing CanadInn's did with that place was change it from Bullwinkle's. That place was always packed on Friday's & Saturday's until they switched the format. The crowd shifted to Buffalo Bill's or the Spike & the Safari Club/Rum Jungle never got them back... even now they tried to recapture that era by changing the name to The Oak but it'll never happen... Transcona does not like change!

Go a little deeper into T'cona to find the real gems. The Central, The Spike, still around too. It's like going into a time machine. You forgot the Pandora and the Royal George.

Never thought MOS was the type to throw his players under a bus but if it's not the scheme then it must be...
