  1. Wally just "out-geniused" the rest of the league again.
  2. Neither guy is gonna be fast-tracked into the Hall of Fame. Even the Bomber hall of fame! Today's job fair was for game day volunteers.
  3. I'd bring Joey back, but he'd have to make the job fair today at the stadium. He'd be a great improvement for the team. The free t-shirts and after TD footballs we get to those fans near the top row.
  4. How is it a good deal exactly?? If the Bombers had gone through the proper process of hiring the proper firm, one with experience in designing stadiums, like the Riders are doing, instead of hiring Asper's buddy Ray Wan (he of no experience in designing stadiums) to design IGF, then they wouldn 't have needed to spend an additional $350,000 to build a proper pressbox - it would have been designed and constructed correctly the first time around. There sure is a lot of talk on the internet about great the new Roughrider stadium is and how it's on budget. Remind me again... is it done? The group that is designing the stadium first estimated Cowboy stadium at $650 million... The final bill was way over $1 billion.
  5. It's probably Hamilton as that was the last team that he was with where he was the designated the starter. He only played all the games in Calgary because of Tate's numerous injuries.
  6. Is that similar to championship Austria or Romania? Nope... it's quite close to Championship Turkey, Championship Greece and Championship Norway.
  7. Why does everyone forget this game???? This was the worst game I went to in Winnipeg. 3 minutes into the 2nd half, I went to the store, then walked to my car. Nov 2, Hamilton 37, Wpg 7 Name Comp Att Yards TD Int HALL, M 18 35 160 0 1
  8. Wow. I must have missed the signing of a 71 year old QB!! Who did we get Ploen back?? You missed the signing of the QB coach?
  9. Palardy was very acurate, but did not have the confidence of the coaches to kick FGs longer than low 40 yarders. That was the problem, and wasn't going to change in the short term. Good luck to him in Ottawa.
  10. A player who is 5'10" and is as fast as, as physical as, and can cover as well as Suber doesn't start for the Bombers - he's in the NFL. Be realistic about what you want from your CFL secondary. If Suber was 3 inches taller he'd be Brandon Browner. Shouldn't you have said, "If Suber was 9 inches taller he'd be Brandon Browner."
  11. do you realize it's still 3 months to go before TC? the bombers are still conducting free agent camps in the US. new players will be signed. just wait. stop being a troll. I was being seriously. Take a chill pill. It worked for us a lot of the time in 2000 when Khari took over the controls.
  12. Just have to play using 6 receiver sets. Anyone else notice a lack of a starting RB on the roster?
  13. It may have to do with being 3 - 15 last year and still being a team with a lack of proven CFL QB experience on the team.
  14. Especially if Goltz wins the starting job in TC from Willy. Start planning the parade, it's a done deal. IF?????? You must mean "when"...
  15. Jeffrey Bannon's house was driven through last night. Buck Pierce's social is the reason why he wasn't home. Sidenote... The plates on the van do not appear to be WBB plates. From http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/02/23/van-rips-through-garden-city-home Van rips through Garden City home, BY TESSA VANDERHART ,WINNIPEG SUN A car crashed through a Garden City home early Sunday, nearly taking down the entire property. Homeowner Jeffrey Bannon says it's lucky no one was home at the time and no one was injured. But it was a jarring phone call to get at 1 a.m. "We were returning from Buck Pierce's wedding social, and we got the call on the way home that our house was on fire," Bannon says. But the alarm company didn't have it quite right. "When we arrived we saw the fire truck from down the street … when you got closer you realize the alarm company didn't say anything about a van in our living room." It was six feet away from driving straight through to the other side of the home. Now Bannon, the Winnipeg Blue Bomber director of retail and promotions, is just waiting. "We had to wait for police to get the man (the driver) out of there before we were allowed in," he says. The driver was treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. "A couple hours later the tow truck pulled the van out." There's extensive damage to Bannon's living room, dining room, kitchen, structural damage to the garage and possible damage to the home's foundation. "He literally took out the wall between the living room and the kitchen. He was six feet away from going through the entire house," Bannon says. "I've never seen anything like it." He hopes to be allowed back in later Sunday to get clothes and his kids' homework to bring back to the in-laws; the children, eight and 11, also weren't home at the time. "The sad part is, if we would have been home, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. Because we sit on the couch — that he destroyed — to watch TV," he says. "But at the end of the day, the driver walked away, we walked away. It's just stuff that can be replaced." Bannon hopes to meet with his insurance agent Monday to discuss a damage estimate. In the meantime emergency cleanup crews have fortified the house and cut off power. Police are not currently contemplating charges. "Whether it was road conditions, a medical situation, I don't know, but I don't see any indication at all of alcohol being involved," said Const. Eric Hofley, a police spokesperson.
  16. Willy is wearing #5. His jerseys are for sale at the Bomber store online. http://store.bluebombers.com/product_info.php?products_id=3255
  17. Don't we still have Kris Robertson (CB) still waiting in the wings, assuming he's healed up?
  18. Question is, who will keep the #5 Jersey? No way does Glenn take Willy's jersey from him. You mean Chad Simpson's jersey?
  19. So to clarify, Dieter was Ralph Brock, and then we had Brock Ralph play receiver (albeit wide open sitting on the sidelines receiver) in 2009.
  20. Why would this be great? Sure it's great that True North brought the Jets back, but why do fans yell out 'True North" during a football game and why do we need True North to own and operate the football team? I don't get all this at all. IMO it's disrespectful.
  21. Drew Willy wore #16 in Buffalo. PS Who is Ralph?
  22. Well, actually, actually we traded a conversation with Etienne for a conversation with Willy. That does not equal bust.
  23. Willy has more talent in his little finger than LeFors ever had. Not true at all and it wasn't Lefors fault that Kelly ran a crap system. I think the other 7 teams in the league agree with Mr. Perfect. Lefors was never signed anywhere else.
  24. Because the Roughriders would never allow it. For whatever reason their provincial pride is tied to the roughriders so people in Saskatoon are fans of the riders, would they all of a sudden start supporting the Saskatoon Berries? I doubt it. I was thinking the Saskatoon Rough Riders... The Berries wouldn't work unless Doug Berry was the coach.
  25. We just have to wait for the Buffalo Bills to move to Los Angeles, then we could have a team in Buffalo. In the meantime, Quebec City is probably the next best location. If we are looking at smaller cities, why hasn't Saskatoon ever been considered?
