    For the last x years every Bomber loss has been accompanied by a week of dissecting the 4 or 5 plays that we coulda gone our way to give turn our losses into wins. Most of the time it was nonsense and when I said that, I was called a troll.

    This week, I'm being called a troll for bringing up the one play that was the turning point in the game & someone said I'm only here when we have a bad game. Neither is true.

    I think we lose if Grymes makes the pick 6. Assuming we stop them from scoring any more points, we still need to score a TD and a FG or 3 FG's to win. I doubt Mourtada has 3 FG's in him in 10 minutes. The 1 TD we did score was right after the Grymes drop which wouldn't happen. Others think we would have scored at least 8 to win anyway.

    Some folks think troll means doesn't share the same opinion as others.

    It's very possible we could have still won in spite of a fictitious pick 6. We held edmonton in their zone for the entire 4th quarter.  Why are you harping on play that didn't happen?

    I think it is still a bit of a crapshoot... but all the ore reason to stockpile picks... you're far more likely to get three good players out of 8 picks than 4 picks...

    A crapshoot would imply its a matter of chance that your picks pan out and there is no way to slant the odds in your favor.  A literal roll of the dice. It's just not true. The cfl draft presents some challenges that other leagues don't face, and bad luck can be a factor. But it's not the only factor.

    It isnt really a surprise, he's only kicked a little bit in the IFL as a pro, didnt have a full college career, 

    This is what bothers me the most. It's completely illogical that he's even here, in a year that we're chasing another cup. How is this better than taking a guy off the cfl practice roster, or another teams pr?

    I really don't know why people keep bringing up Medlock. The Bombers want him here - he doesn't want to be here. It's over. He's retired and doing something else.

    Likely not - meaning it is a reference to his nationality. 

    And telling a racial minority to "go home" clearly has negative racial connotations. 

    So, while I know some people think others are being "too sensitive" - sometimes you just have to think for a moment before you say things. It's not hard.

    Agreed.  I personally wouldn't have made the joke. But it's not a reference to his nationality. It's a reference to a name in a song that sounds similar.  It's unlikely someone of a different nationality would have a similar sounding name. That's a coincidence not a raciak slur.

    Would the same reference be made if he was a different nationality?

    I kind of doubt it.

    It's because his name is similar to lyrics in a song. Would someone of a different nationality have the same name?

    Tried to not quote you as it was Goalie who posted the comment but that was the way it came out. My apology if I have offended. And I still maintain it was racist- what if we had a Cree player who was in disfavour and someone told him to get on his toboggan and go back to his teepee?

    It's in reference to a song in the movie,  not the man's nationality

    Texas seems pretty happy being it’s own entity and is doing OK……until their power grid fails. 

    The other major problem for me is that the best winter vacation spots on the States are the red locations (Florida, Texas, Nevada and Arizona in most elections - Hawaii is too far away to be affordable every year) and if they go totally Confederate States I will be afraid to go. 

    California is good. They have everything florida has. I'd miss Nevada though

    it is Not ..."Fajardo."

     

    it is Cofaj.

     

    this is too good to be abandoned.

     

    one interesting thing about bombers,mismthe number of canucks playing D. 

    Probably doesnt hurt depth wise. also, boosts those player's careers. 

    There are some really good D linemen in the league this season. 

    I give the mid season happy honker to Hanssen. 

    (stupid ambrosie gallivanting around the world!)

    I thought it was Vagardo

    He's not on any roster. I wonder if he's an anti vaccine guy or if he's just fallen between the cracks. Seems unlikely as many teams have struggled with kicking and he's a beast. And he can punt too. But crazier things have happened. Better players have fallen between the cracks. 

    He could also want top dollar. In that case I'd go over the cap and lose a first to get some one top tier in if that's what it requires. 

    From what I've heard,  in the FIFO era, Castillo is regarded as someone who can FO.

    Gimli would have been 1970 as the Bombers moved to St John's Ravenscourt in Fort Garry in 1971 & 72. What a picturesque setting with stately elm trees close to the Red River. Spavital believed that training camp should separate the Men from the Boys. You run, run, run & hit, hit, hit. Every practice every day in helmets & full pads. You'll either survive or quit. His philosophy was that games are won in the fourth quarter. That the Bombers would out hit & out work their opponents. He felt that the Bombers would not be tired late in the game if they had to go 109 yards for a touchdown with 3 minutes left to win the game. Hence the brutal training camps. 

    That philosophy isn't without merit. It's used frequently in mma camps. Get your cardio level up so high that your opponent can't blow you up.

    Including when the officials screwed up by not calling intentional grounding? The officials didn't call holding for both teams a bunch of times. Overall it was fairly called.

    The officiating was fine. Missed calls will always be a thing. But I don't feel like the outcome of the game was effected by them.
