It seems like only yesterday that Coach would sing Hurl’s praises like he was a cross between Rain Man and **** Butkus...a MLB with such vision and understanding of our system that he doesn’t need to rack up those gaudy stats (tackles) in order to hold a position of glory on the field. Now he’s not coming back? I guess the experiment failed.
Make that Dirk Butkus

News that will make a lot of people here very happy and even make their FA day....
John Hodge is reporting that Hurl will not be back with the Bombers next year.

Police in Alberta are not going to be charging people with over .08. That's a criminal offence, but they have discretion whether or not to charge;
and they are not going to be applying that law.
Provincial attorney general/Police/prosecutors have wide discretion about who and what to charge. Which offences are priority.
little story: I was once driving through Wpg beach at night, in the middle of winter, on my way to Gimli, with my friend. We were probably 19 years old.
Stopped by two policeman.
My friend chewed gum a lot, and used to wad the tinfoil wrapper into a little ball, kept it in his pocket. I guess we had to empty our pockets, and cops were sure they had a bust for some drugs.
neither of us did any kind of drugs, so no bust, but they searched every inch of that car. under hood, trunk, seats floor. It was actually funny.
The old punchline states that your friend refuses to provide his name, and gives the cop the foil ball. He then says: "You don't need my name; this silver bullet will tell you everything you need to know about who I am." (Oldster alert)

In no particular order, these are moments from games I can actually remember watching:
1. Bolden int in 2001 East Final
2. Grey int in 1988 Grey Cup
3. Battle int in 1990 Grey Cup.
4. Tom Burgess run to put us in fg range in the 1990 East final
5. Beasley OT int on Printers to end the game
6. Ron Warner's tackle on Amerson in 2000 East semi
7. Stegall catch in Edmonton
8. Harris td for miracle comeback against Als
9-10 Stegall's two td record breakers against Hamilton and Toronto
Good list. I'll shoehorn in David Shaw's int in the 84 Grey Cup that began the turnaround from being down 14-3. BB scored 27 in the second quarter and never looked back.

LaFrance has one good game on his resume and has shown nothing to indicate he has the versatility of Timothy Flanders.

Because they had a better option at RB. Doesn't bode well for his CFL future at the position.
He's probably best used as an Andre Durie type hybrid, but his injury issues are concerning.
I was amped about Demski as a BB option last year but now wonder about his injury hx as well. Has it been two season enders in two years?
As a Winnipeg boy I think I may have overvalued his potential contribution....but it's not me signing the cheques, so I'll let Kyle make that call.

Well, Darian Durant is considerably better than you Kevin Glenn.
1 hour ago, WBBFanWest said:I'm thinking that not signing Glenn will make signing our DB's a whole lot easier because salary < salary+stat padding
How do we know that he wasn’t chirping about Regina? They were his last team and subsequently ponied up a lot more for Collaros than what they were willing to pay Glenn.

I'm in favour of moving on from LeFevour just to never hear him called 'The Fever' again.
....and, unless we've time travelled to the Renaissance Period, I can do without ever hearing "methinks" again. Or maybe I just protesteth too much.

Oh man anyone dares to besmirch Ryland Wickman is gonna make me angry. The battles that guy had with Mike Pringle were just great stuff.
Before him
In addition; RW gets huge bonus points for recommending Charles Roberts to the the BB.

And borderline urinary incontinence.
This is like being a little bit pregnant.
You either piss yourself uncontrollably or you don't.
I would know; I remember the 84 Grey Cup.

Being that Halifax is on the ocean, and boats are a big part of their heritage and voyages started or ended there, how about the Argonauts. It's not like 99.99999% of Torontonians would notice or care.
Codsuckers has a nautical feel.

Hey maybe The Fever pulls a Sean Sailsbury cirac 1988.
Forget Salisbury; you could put Sean Connery in, if we had 1988's wrecking crew of a defense on this team.

The Glieberguys set new standards for utterly incompetent ownership. I remember being embarrassed for the Ottawa fans and the whole league.
I once had a nasty case of Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, so I was prescribed tincture of Horn Chen by an Asian Apothecary....I then learned the truth.

Hall's defence did fine against Edmonton in the regular season. Oh sure some yards were given up but the Bombers were in control of the game both times.
Plus we're already in Maas' head with the prospect of facing our hurry up offense. No opposing team had more problems with it than the Eskies.

If they hurry and hire Marcel now, they may still get a shot at Timid Tim Burke in a two-fer.

Hypothermia must have set in at the stumps bench....they sure looked like they didn't want to be there....Us on the other hand seemed to relish in it...especially big Okpalaugo and Jeffcoat.........great game by those two.... Shout out to Nevis as well...best he's played all year...And what can you say about Andrew....he ground out a ground game in that slippery stuff and watched his counterpart on the stamps slip ..slip...slide away and was totally ineffective...Harris deserved that record..especially in those conditions....Have to turn our attention to the Sask./Edm. game now ,to see who wants to face us or go chicken and head east....Like very much how we played that one....now can we string together 3 more....Man that would be nice and a long time coming
The Calgary equipment guy should be slapped upside the head, or worse. Not only does the wrong footwear make you ineffective, it can be freaking dangerous. Messam could have easily torn something.

Since they were allegedly dark horses in the Muamba sweepstakes anyway, the recent termination of Euclid Cummings might free up the dough necessary for the Lions to go hard after Henoc.
