Pete Catan's Ghost

Sure, you would think that DW would be asked about his thoughts on compatibility with Cortez. I would also guess that R. Hall might have something to add. These are but a few of the elements which could make up part of a pre-screen on his hiring. The reality is, Cortez longevity in a small league will leave very little to the imagination...except how he was/is able to adapt over time.

There aren't many outcomes that will surprise me because there are so many variables at play. The one thing that should absolutely not happen, is for the Bombers to be outcoached. They will be facing a first time head coach in his first game on the most pressure packed stage of all. For that matter, it will be their DC calling his first solo game as well. Now's the time for the WBB coaches to make it happen against a very inexperienced opposing staff.

Even if a position was offered, why would he want to jump back into that meat grinder so quickly if he is still receiving a cheque from Sask.?

Cabbie is horrible.

Nice

I have to admit that I haven't spent much time focusing on Waggoner until last game when he went down to injury after a ST play. 1) Is he back at practice? 2) Does anyone have any opinions one way or the other on his progress?

Toth is no loss; he was personable enough, but rarely brought anything worthwhile to the table. At least with the addition of Currier you have a fairly astute broadcaster. You won't have the clear division between the serious news guy and the fluff guy, as you'll no longer have to endure KKs obvious lake of depth on anything meaningful. I can actually envision the potential for mildly compelling dialogue between GC and RC (particularly at election time)...something KK could never do. If she's still on the stick tomorrow, listen to the interplay between she and Dahlia (sp) when Kennedy introduces her show. It is the most inept example of a discussion between two wands of cotton candy attempting to be entertaining.

It's a great day for a win.

Riders clock management was horrible...Calling a timeout while on offense on the final drive...really? The score flattered Sask.

Before you go to bed tonight, say a little prayer that Duane Forde doesn't eventually implode and murder Rod Black at the mic. Can you imagine what it must be like working opposite that guy year after year? After the TD pass where Rod announced "Cato to the (SJ) Green Hornet" the silence from Forde was palpable.

As you can clearly tell by my Avi, I am one of the few on this site that has the ability to read the future. For a taste; Wiecek will not only attend the racetrack in his Knottsian attire, he will be joined by a sassy Joyce DeWitt.

Intrigued by any 5th rounder that is referred to as, "a rolling ball of razor blades". (Walters)

Somebody call my name? Always good to get your take on all things Argo

Man, I said this to 17to85 this morning on FB chat and he lit me up. I really thought Bucknor was solid if unspectacular last year. He more than held his own, and I'd have no problem with starting him again this year, if need be. Thought he was a really pleasant surprise last season. With the new rule changes favoring the receiver, unspectacular DBs will not cut it anymore. It also makes me think that there might be a better chance for us to start 2 Canadians at rec. because of this.

Drew Willy's QB style reminds me alot of Sean Salisbury. Except Willy takes longer to release balls from the pocket and doesn't take selfies. Forget about style, compare their pictures. They could be brothers.

If Hurl is such a strong prospect for a starting LB spot, why did the Riders trade Ricky Foley for Emry (with concussion issues) instead of electing to keep both Hurl and Foley? No way Saskie trades RF if they thought there was any way Hurl could play full time.

That clicking sound you hear, is B.T. rolling the dice on Glenn, Jamal Richardson, and Cory Watson...Only time will tell.

...and for clarification, that's Stanley, not Romby.

Does anyone know how long Bryant's contract is for?

I think Sears remains at Polo Park. My mom still shops there.

Agreed. I appreciate the need to have a viable Toronto franchise in the league, but where does it stop, and how is throwing G.C. cash at them going to ensure their viability (especially if, by doing so it takes funds from other teams). I would love to see a timeline of CFL teams that have been propped up by the more stable franchises. Hasn't T.O. been helped in the past?

If memory serves; weren't the Bombers one of the teams other than Ottawa and Saskie who were in discussions with Dressler last year? If so, wouldn't it make sense that they would still have interest?

Word was Foley was not happy... According to Brendan Taman. No sympathy for Foley here. I'm no fan of B.C., but it was Foley who left Buono at the altar in 2010. Foley agreed verbally to the Lions before ditching them for the Argos.

I applaud you sir. Great news.

Terrific start to the off season
