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.

What I find heartening is that this discussion is taking place openly here without God, the Bible, "unnatural desires" and so forth being dragged into the exchanges. Twenty years ago, an open discussion such as this would not have been possible. It is slow progress to be sure, but it is progress nontheless, and all here should be complimented on the mature level of discourse.
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.

As an example of how irrelevant and self-important MLB has become, consider the stupidity in Baltimore of "playing a game" in front of a completely empty stadium during the upheavals there.
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.

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.
-
Remember when the Riders signed Picard and Labatte when both in their prime?
please give us an example
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.Dominic Picard
Sam Hurl
Jamaal Westerman
Sukh Chungh
Addison Richards
Garrett Waggoner
has a club added so much Canadian talent in one offseason in recent memory?
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.So Chungh maybe has more desire to try down south or something? Or wants to try sooner? It's really not a big deal. Don't worry about 2 years from now...
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.

From what i've seen, the younger MIKE, from a few years ago even, maybe he was a guy that would constantly look for praise and pats on the back, The current today MIKE tho, not so much i don't think and i'll be honest, Mike was quite annoying a few years ago. It got to the point when i would read through posts and MIKE posted, i would generally just roll my eyes at times but not anymore, the guy obviously knows his stuff and has obviously matured. Guess that happens with age. Gbill? I'm not sure what to make of you to be honest, i see a guy who wants to be the guy who posts all the news the second it hits, you are seemingly the MIKE from a few years ago but i have this feeling you are also much older than MIKE.. I dunno. Whatever really. To each their own but... i think if you did a poll (and no gbill, not stoudemires poll) ha, most people, I'm not sure but.. just due to the fact that it seems like you are trying to turn this in to a pissing contest always, my junk is much bigger than your junk type stuff, even on the other site, Like your fascination with MIKE, its borderline insanity it seems, seriously, it's even gotten to the point where you are mentioning it on other bomber sites, Its crazy bro...
Gonna be honest, i got twitter, i can read all the stuff myself, some of the stuff MIKE posts tho, it's not on twitter or if it is, i just don't have the time to really look it up. Gbill, you seem like a guy who knows his stuff too but maybe have a hard time accepting the fact that maybe MIKE knows more than you? and this from a guy who thinks the younger MIKE was a huge dbag. lol
But really, I'm here to talk bombers. Not to have a pissing contest really.
And just real quickly, I personally don't care who posts what, I'm here to talk bombers, I'm not here to talk about MIKE or GBill or whatever else, I honestly could care less who posts what, I'm glad some of you do post what you post, it's good for discussion but the fascination you have with MIKE, it's truly bordering on insane.
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.
-
So the Sun has an article saying Demski is thrilled to be a Rider... I thought Mike said that he would despise being a rider?
Did you actually think he'd say different?
-
wonder if they will give him a chance to line up as DL in training camp
-
Correct, but the Redblacks beat reporter said Ottawa is taking Mateas.
wait...what? It doesn't start till 7?
With Mateas going to the Redblacks, looks like Walters will get his guy.FWIW, CBC Winnipeg sports reports that Walters has said he will not trade the #2 pick.
oh ok...thought I had the time wrong...I'm still at work! Don't start the draft yet!!!

Not disagreeing with anything that anyone is saying in this thread, but I would give ANYTHING to be in the barn for a hometown blowout GC win to end a drought. And the GM who made it happen, by any and all means necessary, would get a free pass for life from me...
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.
-
Taman doesn't build depth, he goes for a good top end and pays for it but neglects the depth in the process. He also likes to plan year to year and doesn't pay too much attention long term. I like Taman and he's a much better GM than a lot of people around these parts give him credit for, but he operates in a pretty predictable way.
-
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.
-
Gives us some options really, Can go 2 Canadian Receivers (Kohlert,JFG/Bastien even) and go all American Secondary. I think i like the sounds of that one.
I don't mind that. But I think Bucknor is better than JFG. But I guess it also depends on....would the INT rec make a bigger impact than the INT db.
