Close only counts in horseshoes.

Can't agree enough. During the off season I'm STARVING for every scrap of CFL news I can get. Once the season arrives, I don't miss a game. The season is too short and the off season is too long... you just don't wait all winter to pass on game action.
EDIT: I may PVR it, but I'll definitely watch it

Gee let's cut a potential league rushing leader to save some bucks ? Wow!
Okay let me get this straight. We shouldn't believe that Grigsby is a sub-par RB based on our own observations, but you're willing to accept that the Bombers cut him solely to save a couple bucks? Based on...nothing at all? Wow indeed.

Equally don't necessarily believe the naysayers here who said he was one of the worst backs in the CFL either. Still waiting on the blight of his successor whoever that poor soul might be? Everyone's hero the backup QB, goalie and now here.
If anyone here actually called him one of the worst backs in the league it's hyperbole. He had speed, he could catch, eventually he remembered how to block, too. Grigsby just wasn't good enough to do what we expect him to: break tackles.
I remember in game one when he took a huge hit that should have put him down for a loss, but instead he bounced and spun off the tackler and ran it upfield for a few extra yards. When that happened I forgot all about Cotton's pre-season showing. And that's pretty much the last time he impressed me.

Honestly the biggest underperformance of the season. I predicted Smith was going to do some good things this season.
Yep, who knew Crompton would show better than Smith.
-
No great loss IMO, also Suber can be next on the block if that's the angle he's going to take.
We should trade him to Toronto for an American DL we'll never see.

I skimmed the tweets and didn't see much worth discussing, maybe they've been deleted. Closest to negativity I found was something like 'Trying real hard to be a pro right now'
I also wanted to see someone other than Grigsby in the backfield but Cotton hardly lit it up like I hoped he would...
-
Woo Cotton! Been waiting all season to see him get a legit shot at the starting gig.

Makes me glad to see all the Civ love in this thread. I have Civ 4 (all expansions) and Civ 5... Civ 4 is the best, or at least most in-depth incarnation if you ask me. Civ 5 is pretty much click continue til you win, not really all that much fun. If I could add up all the hours I spent playing Civ 1 when I was a kid... it would be embarrassing. On the plus side, I was the only grade 4 student who knew who Hammurabi was. That made me super cool and the envy of my peers
Agreed, 4 is the best version. I was seriously dissappointed by 5, I've got it tied with Revolution for PS3 as my least favorite version.
Yep, both 5 and Revolution were 'Civ - lite'. Too easy!

NICE. Mastodon rules, have seen 'em a bunch of times and they never disappoint.
good to hear.
Their drummer is outstanding.
Did either of you see Mastadon and Opeth a couple years back? I missed it... still kicking myself... if I had to choose only one metal band to listen to the rest of my life, it would be Opeth... and it's not even close.
I've seen Opeth a few times, it may have been at the Garrick I saw them last for the Watershed release. Which was... forever ago, now that I think about it....
MARRY ME

I was feeling pretty shitty about myself when I went 1-3 in the Pick 'Ems.
Then I felt a shame I can't describe when my wife beat my ass this week in the TSN Fantasy scores.
I take solace knowing that she beat the rest of you as well
Congrats, BomberBug, on placing #1 in the MBB pool this week and 99th overall country wide.Now go make me a sandwich.

I was pretty sure I was going 0-4 until that last TD from Dressler.

To be fair to Walters and the Canadian depth, he did make the move for Neufeld and drafted OL with our top pick. It's not as though he ignored the Canadian content on the o-line, but perhaps more Canadian competition would have been a good idea.
-
Our starting QB is hurt but in fairness it's not all the oline on that IMO. I am disappointed with the run game and with overall protection lately. Probably personel more so than coaching though ...
That was the refrain we've repeated since Wylie was hired. "Now we get to see if it's coaching or personnel that's the problem"
Wylie isn't a miracle worker no matter what his history might lead someone to believe. However, I think he gets credit for moving Morely to C, thereby addressing a need AND getting the most out of an aging vet that many didn't expect much from. Overall, we still have lots of room to improve... especially in the ground game.

"...it wasn't until my fifth year in the CFL, in 2005, that I booked my first flight to leave the province. The reason I didn't go anywhere from 2001 to 2004? I had a head coach by the name of Dave Ritchie who thought the bye week was about as useful as malaria."
If Doug feels so strongly about players sticking around during the bye week, especially when they are struggling, I have to wonder why he booked a flight out during a season that ended 5-13...

Dad's favorite quote. That, and proclaiming we are having '**** on a shingle' when I asked what was for dinner. Odd bird.
