  1. http://3downnation.com/2018/01/27/riders-duron-carter-puts-tj-heath-blast/ If you're into that sort of thing. Seems pretty silly to me. It would serve them both right to end up on the same team one day.
  2. For that matter, it's not like he even plays every minute of every game. Can you really call sitting on the bench drinking Gatorade work?
  3. Big big signing. Thank goodness we were able to retain him.
  4. I'd be in the sign Randle camp for certain. He's been the most reliable corner we've possibly ever had as long as I've been a Bomber fan. Travis Bond is an exceptional American playing a traditionally Canadian position. I can see us getting by without Bond, but being lost in the desert without Randle. Simply put, Bond is a luxury; Randle is a necessity.
  5. To be (a pretentious ELA nerd) or not be be (a pretentious ELA nerd), that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of misuse of the word wherefore, Or takes arms against misinterpretation and point out' wherefore' actually means 'why' I agree it is a bummer that the we are constantly picking through the leftovers to bolster our bullpen, and that trend doesn't appear to be changing.
  6. http://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/montreal-alouettes/alouettes-deliver-contract-ultimatum-to-quarterback-darian-durant Yucky situation for both sides. A take-it-or-leave-it offer from a team that desperately needs a QB. If I were Durant I think I'd gamble on holding out and let the dice land where they may... I don't see MTL having any other options other than re-signing Drew Willy (blech) or somehow landing Josh Freeman and hoping he's regained his form. Meanwhile, the Alouettes' lone bright spot, Johnathan Mincy, signs with da Bears.
  7. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/01/05/bombers-announce-coaching-staff-changes/ Jordan Younger - defensive backs Glen Young – linebackers and defensive line The club will not renew the contracts of defensive line coach Todd Howard, and defensive backs coach Tony Missick. The remaining coaching will return in their respective roles for the 2018 season.
  8. Luke was one of my childhood heroes, right up there with Michaelangelo, He-Man and Lion-O... so I was pretty sad to watch him go without getting to see him really wield a lightsaber one last time... I left the theater feeling a bit disappointed, even. However, showing up in an X-Wing and force-crushing AT-ATs into scrap metal is best left for the video games. The clever distraction, leveraging Kylo's fear of what the oh-so legendary Luke Skywalker could do against him, was the slick Jedi move to make. It's fantastic that both the audience's and Kylo's expectations of Luke allowed the force ghost twist to work and surprise a lot of people. We all expected fireworks, and when the AT-ATs were blasting away we thought that's what we were getting... instead, as Johnzo pointed out, we get the nod to the original trilogy with the master sacrificing himself for the apprentice as they flee aboard the Falcon. Right now, Rey has about as much Jedi training as Luke did at this point of his adventure, but no Yoda to train her. I'm eager to see how she's going to develop her skills enough to fill Luke's shoes as galactic hero and living legend. Supposedly she swiped the codexes? I didn't see that... It was a fun movie. Benicio was great but I'd have traded him for an 80 year old Billy Dee Williams in a heart beat. Space Leia was goofy but whatever, it's still better than Ewoks pwning storm troopers Home Alone style or Anakin losing his epic final duel because "higher ground"
  9. I don't honestly believe the deal would have happened if Popp and co. didn't have an understanding with Franklin already. However, I recall something about BC dangling Reilly in front of the Bombers prior to reaching FA without allowing us to speak with him/his agent first... so I suppose it's possible Popp is rolling the dice without making a gentleman's agreement first... which would be very foolish as Sask does seem like the appropriate place for Franklin to wind up.
  10. The poll on CFL.ca right now asks "Will James Franklin play for the Argos in 2018?" 91% of the fans say no. I bet about 90% of the vote is desperate Rider fans. We will find out soon enough.
  11. Dry your eyes, Bono. The Riders aren't going anywhere. It's only 15k in damages dontcha know.
  12. Whoa another CFL insider! Every article says they are still assessing damages but you already know it was 15k! Man these rider fans really have their fingers on the pulse.

  14. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/12/17/gene-simmons-kiss-faces-lawsuit-over-groping-misconduct-allegations.html Oh no... Gene Simmons' impeccable reputation shall forever be tarnished
  15. I'm generally brutal all around so perhaps the less I'm heard the better
  16. Keep your eyes peeled. Last November I snagged a like-new Ibanez hollow bodied 5-string acoustic-electric bass with a hard case (shag carpet interior!) on Kijiji for $400 (might have been $450). Had to drive an hour to pick it up but it was worth it. It's great for practicing unplugged but as soon as someone is rocking out on their 6-string acoustic I get drowned out and need to plug in again. It just doesn't kick out the acoustic sound like I had hoped. I'm convinced only a big stand-up bass could be heard around a campfire.
  17. Apparently he was injured in 1990 and served as an assistant coach for the Florida Gators before resuming his playing career in '91. His coaching roots run deep it would seem.
  18. I just saw Kerwin Bell's name being tossed around on twitter as a candidate for HC in Montreal... he and Kavis Reed were teammates years ago.
  19. Isn't one of our former HC's famously quoted as saying every position you start a rookie at will cost you a win? There is probably a lot of truth to this.
