  1. Anyone happen to have Marcel's e-mail address? Marcel@CrappyOC.com?
  2. If someone came in and went undefeated for 5 years with 5 championships, you'd let it slide if the dude slapped you and said he had his way with your wife,and has been stealing your cable for years
  3. Coon left some pretty big shoes, but the cfl commish position is a glorified puppet.
  4. I figure it'll work out the same way the Alex Hall situation worked out when he got traded to the riders
  5. I'm not up-to-date on who's alive in that band... I just know that they're awesome... I thought I recalled some incarnation of The Band doing shows recently... unless that was just a dream or I'm thinking of a completely different band I'm not sure if it was the bad but I recall David Grohl recently breaking his leg( may not have been broken but at least seriously hurt) while on stage and finishing his show.
  6. in 2006 they announced Nelly Furtado in week 16, or 17, so it should be announced shortly
  7. I remember Bauming saying that 6-8 weeks was best case scenario
  8. Pierre Labbe and Chris Greaves are flipping you a pair of birds right now. Also, Billy Pavalopolous is in your garage stealing cans of solvent. Billy just got released, so stealing solvent is a likely scenario.
  9. Haven`t seen it mentioned in this thread, but I love Shameless. William H Macey is awesome in this series
  10. Bumped again to show frustration with roster management
  11. I'm watching Hockey now - will be fully vested when the season starts in less than two weeks. I agree it was a chincy call but the player was not on the line. Only issue I have with the call is the lateness of the flag. I agree with other posters here - the line judge watches the line from the sideline, and usually throws the flag right away. Only thing I can think of is he confirmed with the line judge from the other side first. i.e. he didn't want to throw a flag if a bomber receiver from the opposite end was on the line - thus negating the call. When the other sideline judge said no, he threw the flag. No different than the Sk too many men penalty in the G.C. a few years back. But here's how I see it, the bombers were playing the defending Grey Cup champs and now, with the loss of Collaros, the best team in the league. They hung with them all game, really fought it out. Those guys complaining about the Bombers O - hey that's a Rich Stubler Defense, and Rich knows Nichols very well. He made his adjustments and it took the bombers a while to figure out what to do. That's why they're the CHAMPS. Good on Wpg! I expected a blow out and instead was treated to a close game that had a heartbreak ending. If the bombers had played that way a few more times, it wouldn't have been a must win. It still wasn't IMO - B.C. will be slaughtered by the Eskimos today. Bombers still, have a good chance. They just gotta keep playing this way every week. If they do, they'll win their share of games. If they lay an egg last week, it's on THEM - not an official. You're allowed to be one yard back from the line. That's in the rule book. The pictures clearly show him half a yard back, in line with the tackles (who were aT least in line with Nichols). While I'm not convinced it's a conspiracy....it was 100% the wrong call. Yep it is. But you know, a 'good' team will make that 49 yard field goal. Also, we have absolutely no idea what would have happened after that play if the officials let the play stand. Nichols could have been sacked twice for big yardage loss, or they could have turned the ball over. Just because they get the first down doesn't mean they win. I like Liram, I think he'll be a star, but I just saw the guy he replaced and was out of football for TWO years come in and kick a 50 yard field last night in an Ottawa loss (Justin Palardy). To me, the call was irrelevant - the BOMBERS lost that game, not the officials. Liram is paid to make those kicks, he's not paid to make garbage field goals and 3 out of 4 extra points. He failed ,HE lost the game. You're being a bit over-zealous here. At best a 50 plus yd. FG is a 50/50 proposition for any kicker, especially accounting for wind variations. So you would have felt comfortable giving the ball back to Calgary with a minute left needing only a single? I wouldn't have been. And I also would not have been too comfortable going to overtime against them. The call killed a drive we had extended, giving us pretty much the rest of regulation time to find a way to get to the end zone. Maybe - but it doesn't matter. Officials don't lose a team games. The players do. Liam kicks the field goal, it's tied, and we have no idea what happens after. Officials don't throw the flag - we have no idea what happens on 1st and 10 - it's just as likely - based on the bombers play I'll call it a 50/50 proposition - that Calgary sacks Nichols and strips him of the ball - or forces a bad throw for an interception - as it is for Nihcols to throw a TD pass and win the game (but then Calgary still has time to come back so who knows there ) There are so many variables in a game. There's missed assignments, mis-reads, dropped passes, bad throws, fumbles, wrong play calls, and botch calls by officials. Sorry guys, hate to say it, but you all sound like a bunch of whinny elementary school kids. Here's another saying for you - a good team will put it behind them and focus on the next game. The Eskimos are in town, and Reilly is struggling big time, but the Esk defense is a beast and I still feel the best defense in the league. Bomber aren't out of it but they need a win on Friday - no excuses. And you all know, as well as I and the bombers, that the Officiating is 3rd rate in this league, so don't put yourself in a position for a botched call by the officials. If anything, the bombers should get some 'favourable' calls on Friday - so lets see what happens. No but they did a good job in trying to decide the outcome
  12. What about the Kevin Glenn fumble (he was on Hamilton when he fumbled)? You'll have to be specific on him, as he fumbled a lot.
