1. That's pretty much the reason we have the internet isn't it? 2. Yeah Brandon, he's slightly more famous than you!! RESPECT HIM!!!! Unless of course you don't give a ****...then carry on.

Is that a serious comment? If so why? And not just, he's too green. I want to know why you think it's 5 years

Yeah I can't see it being on 1290. CJOB is the rights holder

I don't know, I thought we missed the sure hands guy on O last year. Moore (when playing) and denmark could stretch the D when needed.

Soooo any report for the first day?

Yeah I went this past weekend again. Thought I'd be able to get a decent deal on something. But no luck. "sale" prices weren't worth it, mostly because I didn't want anything they had on sale, which wasnt much. I was pretty underwhelmed with the whole thing.

Yes, let's all congratulate the Christians for keeping their stupid, dumb,backwards mouths shut for once, so we don't need to tell them how intolerant they are! "the ignorant" instead of "christian". Plenty of Christians have no issue with others sexual orientation. Sorry I just don't like lumping everyone in the same category.

Huh? They didn't want people there. It wasn't that no one went. It was for fan/player etc safety. It had zero to do with the relevance of the sport.

Went to the store in Polo, pretty decent selection on everything. Bought a hat. Will likely go back and get another this weekend.

Nice. Hopefully he knows how to hold on to the ball.

Plus the signings of Hurl and Briggs. This off season could be a major change of pace for this club when you talk about CND talent.

An aging olineman, a mediocre lb, one legit ni talent and three draft picks? I'm sure nearly every year every team does the same.please give us an exampleRemember when the Riders signed Picard and Labatte when both in their prime?Are you suggesting that no team has signed 3 ni in a season before? Also for the draft picks remember how great Poblah turned out to be? I wouldn't be bragging about the guys we added just yet. I was only looking for examples. And while yes the riders did sign two starting CND's in their prime. We've added (upgrades) 3 starters for sure...but possibly 6 depending on how TC works. It's not a reach at all to think Chungh Richards and Waggoner will start for the bombers at some point this season. While the jury is still out, Walters may have brought in 6 quality CND starters this off season. That's something I'm not sure the CFL has seen in a long time.

I really really really hope he drops that "pay me" celebration in the pros

Well I like long term planning. To me it is a bit of a red flag. I'd be much more comfortable with a 3 year deal, considering most rookies don't make much of an impact their first year. I'm not sure there is such a thing as long term planning in the CFL... This is true. I'm guessing he wants to keep his options open in case the NFL is a possibility. And really, can't blame him.

My only problem with Mike is his condescending "know it all " approach to others, and how we have a 20 year old kid giving lectures to posters on these forums like he knows it all, and has life all figured out. His approach just rubs me the wrong way, and he's the only person on these forums that stands out like that because of his know it all attitude, and just dismissing other posters ideas. I think I might need to just start doing what you used to do with Mike's posts and just ignore them. And I get it he has his posse on here, who back him no matter what, so I'm going to lose any internet pissing contest, but that's fine with me. I'm here because I love the Bombers and love discussing Bombers, not to make any friends. lol who's defending him though? Everyone is just saying, stop with the pissing match. Please, stop thinking about ignoring his posts. And just DO IT.

Yup, I come here to catch up on news. Maybe laugh a bit etc etc. I don't give a damn about what who likes who, or if something someone said wasn't 100% correct. Mike is knowledgeable, if you want to deny that....great. But shut the **** up about it on the forum and just ignore him. It's annoying.

Did you actually think he'd say different?

wonder if they will give him a chance to line up as DL in training camp

With Mateas going to the Redblacks, looks like Walters will get his guy.wait...what? It doesn't start till 7?Correct, but the Redblacks beat reporter said Ottawa is taking Mateas. oh ok...thought I had the time wrong...I'm still at work! Don't start the draft yet!!!

While this is true. Taman's MO is to build a powerhouse at any cost, and then rebuild. That's not what I want. Especially because we just had Taman do it...and if you don't win it all...it's even worse, as we all know. I want a huff or a Pop or a Buono. Someone who is going to build a powerhouse that stays that way for years. I'd trade that for a GC win at home 100%. While the jury is still out on the Riders this season and Taman's legacy there, bomber fans have seen this all before which is why it's so funny.

Some rider fans think taman is going to make an offer to Walters for #2 that would include hus....but considering he's currently exploring the nfl...why would anyone risk that?

This is just another step in the direction the riders where bound to go once they signed Taman.
