Plus the receiver caught passes from Boltus. That has to count for something.

I like guys like Darrin Bauming and Kirk Penton. I may not always agree with their opinions, but it's still obvious that they actually follow the team and have some pride in their work. Ed Tait and Bob Irving are in that category as well.
 
I'd put Gary Lawless in a different category. I rarely agree with what he writes and I don't think he's a very good writer (blurs the lines between his job as a columnist and his job as a reporter far too often for my liking) but I still respect him because he puts in a good effort. He's just got a bit too much of an agenda for me.
 
Guys like Jim Bender, Paul Wiecek and Paul Friesen are just horrible. A quick review of anything they've ever written about the Bombers makes it obvious that they have pretty much zero understanding of anything related to football.

Still not sure that letting him go was a good move IMO.

We have some weird and bad fans, who would wish that this league lose a team?
IMO I would be very happy if every team sold out every game and filled the stands.

Eh, not sure I want him.  He'd be a really good backup, but I'm concerned they'll want to start him, either right away or if/when Willy struggles.  And then we start the QB carousel all over again...

It's not what Atomic said it's how he said it. Big difference. The CFL is the one league in the ******* world that the players are in the community interacting with fans in all kinds of different ways. Most basically play for the love of the game & he's bitching about salaries? And advocating that owners should get tough with the players to the lpoint of shutting down the season in 2014?? Hell, 3 teams DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY OWNERS as they're community owned.... Nope, I don't take back what I said. I know the NFL has better players but at the same time if you are a true fan you appreciate what you have which is still pretty damned good. 

I would assume that with his fiancée living here and his business interests being here, he'll become a full time Winnipegger if he's not already.
 
I know I often ragged on the guy for what he did here as a player, but I definitely always wanted to cheer for him. I'm glad he's leaving the playing field on his own terms and I honestly wish nothing but the best for him. Definitely a class act human being. He held his wedding social last weekend and I've never seen a host be so gracious towards all the guests he had. He made a point of shaking every hand possible towards the end of the night. I kind of expected him to just socialize with his close circle of friends that night, but he went out of his way to make sure every single person there knew he appreciated them being there to support him. Classy guy all the way.

I'm not sure why people think Kavis Reed is a horrible coach. I actually thought he did a pretty good job here in 2010.

I wasn't aware that the lack of a quality third string QB was that damaging.

The CFL B List? Then why do you watch? No one is forcing you. Find another sport you can grumble about salaries while calling the CFL bush. Who needs you? Hey the National Lacrosse League needs fans & they pay their players peanuts so it's right up your alley. Go follow it. 

Football, maybe more than any other sport, is one where I don't mind the players asking for big money. The physical punishment and the brevity of careers means they need to get as much as they can while they can. Hopefully this all works out.

I have no idea what this has to do with football, but I'll put my 2 cents in....
 
Anyone who beheads someone and starts to eat them shouldn't be allowed back on the streets.. ever.  I don't care if they were mentally ill when they did it.  In fact, I'd have to say everyone who beheads someone and starts to eat them is mentally ill.  
 
I think the laws needs to change so 'not responsible due to mental defect' means you get treatment until you are declared legally sane, then you move to the general prison population to serve out the rest of your sentence.  As it stands, there isn't even any way to guarantee that he will take his meds after he's let go, so the public is at risk.

Wow. I'm all for rehabilitation over jail time, but NOT when the guy freaking beheads somebody. Absolutely ridiculous.

I'd be disappointed if he was our starting RB this year.

This must be sarcasm.
 
One of the best GM's in the history of the league should be a US scout for a guy who has basically been blacklisted out of working in personnel and management?

Ford and Simpson aren't great running backs either.

Easily,  I knew a girl who suffered a seizure while driving down Lag and she blacked out and went off road and smashed into a building.  She had zero indications prior to this incident of her having any kind of medical problems.  It could happen to anybody. 
 
She was not charged and it wouldn't make any sense to charge her since this would be considered "an act of god".  

I've come to the conclusion that Kels is plugged into a different league than the rest of us. Some sort of parallel universe where all the names are the same but everything else is completely backwards.

Incompleterson sure earned his nickname.

lol
 
"On paper" he's a fullback, but he's definitely a receiver and in your estimation, one of the best in the league. Everyone would know that as long as they'd watched some Alouette games recently, right.
 
I'm assuming you're referring to the 6 games he played last year where he recorded a grand total of 6 catches, all of them stemming from routes he ran out of the backfield as a fullback.

Hey guys,
 
Had a brainstorm with a friend of mine who is also a football geek this weekend, and we decided to start a new blog on the Bombers and CFL.  We were actually talking with a couple other friends about all the NHL and Jets blogs that we look at, and that there's not much on the Bombers or CFL.  It will be long-form analysis, and will be really good during the season if we stay motivated.  We were talking about it and we think there is a real demand for some in-depth looks at the teams, players and games, and that's what we're going to try to do.  We'll really get going with the grading of players and advanced stuff during the season, but for the off-season we are going to do a critical overview of every teams roster, and we'll do some stuff around the draft.  
 
Our first post is up, part of our "Mid-February roster analysis," it is on the Bombers QB situation.  We're going to look at the Bombers in 6 parts (QB, RB/REC, OL, DL, LB/DB and special teams) plus an overall assessment/discussion.  Then we'll look at the other 8 teams, likely in much less detail.
 
Check it out.

They really need to introduce the ability to allow teams to retain player rights.
 
For example, we should've been able to sign Henoc and Matthews to CFL contracts and THEN let them pursue the NFL. Same thing goes with guys like Cordarro Law or Dontrelle Inman.

i just miss winning..
