What’s Kevin Eiben up to these days anyway? Screw that guy. 
Congrats, KG! Hell of a career. Not a HOFer in my books.. but that’s OK. 

I was wondering who'd be this years player the fans love to complain about. Hecht is winning the 'Sam Hurl' award this year for sure.

Congrats -- sincerely wish he'd have been able to get his ring in 2007. Shame he never got the opportunity to play in that GC.

I really don't care what Rider fans post on their board, nor do most people on this site.   What matters here is what you bring and post on this board.
Do you think coming to a Bomber website and making claims of collusion in favour of the Bombers from the CFL commissioner would get any reaction other then the one you were getting?  I'm pretty sure you knew exactly what you were doing here and got exactly the reaction you wanted.  Then feign innocence and saying it is odd when you get "jumped on".    In fact, coming from a Rider fan I would say it borders on trolling and would probably get a Bomber fan suspended for posting an equivalent post on Riderfans.
Ambrosie couldn't pass this in a vacuum.  Commissioner isn't a dictator.    All clubs, or at least the majority, had to agree to it.  And if you read the articles of the time, it was clear that there was a sort of arms race going on between clubs and coaching staffs that was outpacing league revenues and wasn't sustainable.  
Here is an article on who decided on the cap, a little insight on how they came to it, and a clear explanation that Winnipeg wasn't the only team unaffected.    In fact, Winnipeg isn't even mentioned in that area of the article.

Does it suck for Saskatchewan that this was implemented?  Sure. But in a league that has a history of shooting itself in the foot, has a long history of teams having to either be taken over by the league or saved by benefactors who don't care about losing money, is it a surprise that a cap like this is put into place to keep the league viable and more teams from going under?  Or the more likely scenario that this was put in to pre-empt the players pointing to all the money available that teams were spending and should be available to players prior to CBA negotiations.
 

I like it better when you’re not dumb

There is a weird element on this board hoping this event fails, and it is really confusing.
As a big fan of both leagues who likes the CFL more, it is cringy.

Then. Don't. Go.

I don't understand the "I could go to a Vikings game" argument. I go to Vikings games all the time. That is not this. The novelty is that it is in Winnipeg. Also I spend a grand every time I'm in Minne but that might just be a "me" problem...

I expected high prices.  I didn't expect prices that high.  

I expected high prices.  I didn't expect prices that high.  

It was what I expected,TBH.  The Bombers were sure to point out, in their email, that they didn't set the prices:
"Ticket prices, which are determined by On Ice Entertainment, range from $75.00 to $375 CDN."

He was the 5th ranked OL in his draft year... just because he didn't pan out, it doesn't mean it was a bad pick.

Man, I am cheering so hard for Rasheed Bailey...this seems like a GOOD dude...

Yeah, I get the feeling that he is likely dealing with some personal situation. Being absent this long, without the team releasing him likely means it's something serious. Hopefully him and his family are ok.

Ten years late but just finished watching the Deadwood series, once adjusted to the extraneous dialogue and excessive profanity I found it very enjoyable.  Also watching two pretty good semi-modern Western based series right now "The Son" starring Pierce Brosnan and "Yellowstone" starring Kevin Costner, the usual themes are present, land, oil, Indians, cattle and money, just add toxic family environment to the mix.

Hey be easy on the guy, we're suppose to welcoming to ALL fans... even the casuals who don't follow daily. 😄

In those big centre's I think its time to start marketing them not like the other big major leagues. Have to price and market more like a minor league team (this is no dig at CFL). Tickets need to be cheaper between 15-50 bucks to get you in the door and concession prices need to be low. Need to have some sort of pull to bring people into the stadium other than the game. Once you get people in the building I think the game entertainment value is top notch and will bring people back again.

A beautiful even warm day today at our wonderful IGF for training camp with the loveLy Sarah Orlesky in attendance. I started watching, the offence was running no huddle plays against the defence. On the D #5 Jefferson was alongside #95 Thomas, #92 Nevis and #94 Jeffcoat. This combo has all kinds promise and showed it play after play after play. #5 applied all kinds of pressure and is just that impressive. Three men in stripes were out there blowing whistles to simulate game timing. The O had four qb’s.  #15 Bernie and #17 the Kid’s timing wasn’t all there but by golly #18 Bennett was the most accurate tosser today and managed to scramble when he had to. #12 Sean McGuire appeared unremarkable. #3 Nelson was open by 15 yards and dropped a bomb right in his hands from Nichols. This caused a couple of fans to chuckle and yell “your cut”. #40 Santiago made a terrific snag and deceptive run during a screen play. All plays from scrimmage were passes, no runs, so couldn’t really tell what was up with the RB’s. But Harris was out there. #87 Whitehead had a remarkable 15 yard catch in heavy traffic. A couple nicks happened to #23 Gaitor (back) and  a pissed off #79 Lachance (elbow)- he’s got size. Couple of other big mutthafuggas DL #99 Forde #91 Mccalister rotated along side #93 Roh and, I forgot, sorry. #6 Washington, teeny, fast and athletic ran back punts.
Dressed but no pads and didn’t practice were #80 Matthews, but he was sticking his schnib into hear the huddle when practicing in the red zone. #4 Bighill also dressed, no pads and not activate but was taking pointers from Wade on the best buffets in town. #51 Hardrick, no pads but watching as well. 
The overall impression was a loose squad, not a lot of yelling or screaming. The addition of Jefferson to the D Line has me very excited after viewing the team today. 

Even I started at 1 post.

I'm 3 episodes in and it is fantastic.
 
   

who I believe was just released....man this is such a crazy story.

Interesting. How is this just coming out now?
