Kyle Walters
Definitely concerned about his ability to find Americans, but right now I still have confidence in him. The moves to go out and trade for Randle and Willy were huge moves that don't get enough credit. I get that Willy was about to be a FA, but we've failed to pull the trigger before on things that give us an advantage.

GDT Bombers and Eskies
I hope Paris Cotton just runs right through the Eskimos' defense.
-
Bombers add LB Will Smith to PR
I want him to do well just for the Fresh Prince jokes and gifs possible. Oh, and so we can win games. That too.

Grigsby not getting first team practice reps - Cotton to start VS Edmonton
So excited for Cotton's chance now. Hope he lights it up and we can finally reduce Grigby's role.

Interesting Quote in Pentons weekly CFL Blitz
I don't think coaching is the issue. Would bring both coords back. We need Walters to start improving the roster this offseason. It'll be a big test for him. Can he find a decent American WR? Will he land a Canadian lineman somehow? The reason this team isn't winning right now speaks more to the roster we are working with than the coaching job, in my opinion.

Bombers add two REC - Rashad Lawrence and Justin Wilson
At this point anything would be better than Romby Bryant.
-
Durant likely to return this season
I would hope it doesn't turn you on. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

On Burris and Irony
The RedBlacks turned DOWN a first round pick + more?! Holy geeze Desjardins.

Time for some tough love on....
No running game, crappy receivers and a less than stellar O-line but you feel the need to 'bring him back to earth.' Wow. Oh, and dude's playing injured. Drew Willy is the best thing to happen to this team in a long time. He made some mistakes tonight. It sucks. We lost. This reads like a Stephen A. Smith argument - QB is not solely responsible for wins and losses, despite what some want you to believe.

Time For The CFL To Levy Fines On The Refs For Tacky Calls
We got ripped off by the refs tonight. They are always awful and I think despite that I'm mad at them my biggest issue is how awful it makes the league look. This is our entertainment. This is what we give fans. You just feel ripped off because the refs blew a few calls and honestly, every team in the league has had a right to feel that way at some point this season too. THAT'S the big issue. It hurts the product on the field.

O'Shea heated in CJOB post game interview
He should be mad, sounds like he got hosed by the media and that was after getting royally screwed by the refs. However, he should be mad at himself for the way we handled that last drive too.

FNF - Montreal @ Ottawa / Sask. @ Edmonton
Suitor "Sunseri over there talking to Durant." Durant: *blank forward stare*

A Healthy Renaud - Does He Get Back In?
Lirim > Renaud

RedBlacks @ Riders
I like how Suitor praised Sunseri for "giving the ball" well to Allen just before that.
-
RedBlacks @ Riders
This is crazy

Bombers at Lions GDT
Frankly I think that giving Pall a shot can't really hurt that much.
-
Drew Willy injury
Hoping that it isn't terrible. If Willy is out, we are done.

Bombers holding secret practices
Oh, and cut out this crap meme that the taxpayer gets to be informed of everything and have a say in decisions. I hate when people tell me that. Yes tax dollars went to the stadium, no you do not get to decide how to run the Bombers. At some point Wiecek will probably write that the Bombers should develop a phone app so we can all vote on every play call. 'Cause, you know, TAX DOLLARS and such.
-
Bombers holding secret practices
**** the media. This is continual whining and BS and I freaking hope someone from the Bombers tells them to stuff it. Have you guys ever walked by the group of them at camp or practice? They talk amongst themselves, check their phones...and occasionally turn their heads to the field. Better yet, when they do pay attention, half of them aren't able to understand exactly what's going on. I get better reports from MBBers.
-
Paris Cotton moved to practice roster
Hate this move a lot. Grigsby has improved but he's still far from what I look for at RB. Running from the backfield often puts his weak vision and poor decisions on display. Putting him in space does at least show his speed and cuts. Interested to see if Cotton gets a shot somewhere. Really think he would flourish with full time carries.
-
Durant to miss remainder of season
I think its going to be fun (and already is) to watch Rider fans say that a QB like Durant isn't important. You know, just ignore all those times when they said he was important.
-
Durant to miss remainder of season
Saskatchewan is in trouble. Have to think they finish somewhere between 3rd and 5th now.
-
WFP Article targeting O'Shea
Strikes me like Wiecek was hoping to get a "sky is falling" narrative to write his article, Osh didn't bite and so Wiecek decided to tell him how he should feel, because as a sports reporter he's qualified to tell professionals what emotions they have.

Braley turning into a slumlord for Argos
Money quote from Lysko: "He pays the bills. Great. If that's your criteria for good ownership, that's fine. But I'm not sure it should be good enough for the CFL. That a guy doesn't not pay his bills. There should be a higher level of responsibility in terms of infrastructure and staff. But the league has no leverage to try and correct this situation. (Braley) can do whatever he wants. He's a poor operator. And he's always been a poor operator." Lots of what he said there is what has been said here. Having one person own two teams is more than just poor optics.

Suber traded to Toronto
Sad to see Suber go. I was always a fan, even if he tapered off a bit last year with the rest of the D. Looks like both teams get what they want and need.
