Sad to hear. Condolences to his family and friends. Not that the Bombers need to do anything but would be nice if they did something for the family.

What ever happened to Marves uncle who was on here. Seemed to just disappear. Maybe he can fill us in on what surgeries and things he had done and how they may effect him.

The expectation that athletes in their early 20's are supposed to behave like Mother Teresa just because they happen to be athletes is bound to disappoint. More often than not they will behave just like any other 21 year old male. Unless they have more disposable income, then they may behave worse. Nothing on his rap sheet raises my eyebrows. Been there, done that. The 3 knee surgeries might be a concern if I hadn't seen him running at practise. Powerful, smooth strides, quite an effortless runner actually. Seeing him take off like that reminds me of Durant. He has big legs and looks like he can break a few tackles before being brought down. Don't normally want to see your QB having to dive for a first down but that was impressive and shows he's got guts.

Whats the difference then with Marve pronounced Ma-Arve and Favre pronounced Fa-Arve????? You would think Marve would be spelt Mavre.

How would PF know who is there or not. It's not like he pays attention...

So we should change it to SCFL

I will be down this week at some point also. Hoping for tomorrow as I assume they will be pretty limited practice Friday.

Close...I'm in my 30's, have a GF, a condo, no kids and a good job. I booked the week off work so I could attend Bomber training camp this week Hardcore fan right there!

Is Alex Hall considered ours?

Not that they will cut him but I saw January get beat at least three times last night. Twice he never even got a hand on the guy. Wasn't playing well at all.

Pretty sure they both had the opposite jerseys on last night. A curveball thrown to camp observers. Between the breaking ball and beer consumption I couldn't figure it out last night and scratched my head for most of the game. The announcer also kept calling Maher Lirim and vice versa. Totally confusing

I hate to nitpick but i am going too..... i'm sure the Bombers have plenty of other things to wory about but are they ever going to do anything with the gold vinyl wrap on the walls? They pulled it tight and screwed it to the concrete everywhere but the corners. I thought last year it was just rushed and they would have had time to do it in the off season but it looks terrible. Get someone on that!

Right now I'd say Burke over Etch. But I am willing to give Etch a few weeks to see where this goes...

Hey now don't forget about Greg Marshall! He needs some lovin too.

I don't care what they call him as long as it's not Lirim Wideright or Wideleft

Only two of us did. And I only said it cause Mike did......lol ok i'm kidding. I just didn't see much out of him but then again it's tough to really single out anyone on D when they are all running all over the place.

I think a few vet DB's may be on the bubble. Suber, Dunn, and Banks looked pretty craptastic out there. Suber and Banks took a lot of bad penalties as well. Not what you want from your Vets even in a pre-season game!

I turned to the guy behind me as soon as he steped out of bounds and said "well he's cut" and everyone laughed. I feel Johnson was the worst on the field yesterday. Also Tarver, Fraser and Moseley.

There are just soooooo many jokes you can make with the last name Willy. I can see this getting out of hand!

Haven't had time to read through all the posts. Not sure if mentioned but I like the ST play most of the night. I don't think they they allowed TO past the 25 on any kickoff (unless there was a penalty) for the first half and maybe a few times in the second half (3rd/4th) stringers. Most of the time we had to back up so we didn't draw a no yards penalty! I know a lot of this was due to the great kickoffs and punts but it seemed the guys were all over the ball or the carrier rather quickly. Also the park and ride in and out was super quick. No delays in or out. The staff seemed extra friendly all over the stadium. Quick concession lines etc. etc. Just a props overall to IGF staff. They seemed to have figured out a lot of the kinks.

Wahoo! Crappy for the players great for the fans. Let's get this season going!

I could be wrong but I thought he meant the first of many statues honouring Bomber players, not just Bud Grant. Of course, I could be misunderstanding your comment. Yeah I meant I don't want a whole whack of statues honouring a bunch of players. Keeping the elite group small is the way to go in my opinion. It prevents the watering down of a great honour. I didn't mean "many" as they should make a hundred of them. I think realistically 4-6 is probably the number. Who else can you think of Ploen, Lewis, Battle, Brock, Stegall??

I mentioned this a while back they would be doing this. Don't know all the info on it though just that they would be doing a statue for him. Hopefully it's the first of many!

Just an FYI I'm good friends with Kim's hubby and know Kim quiet well where else would I get all my inside info.
