A very good article indeed.   I'm of the opinion this wasn't intentional, as Harris does seem very contrite and apologetic.   The fact that the head coach and several of his teammates backed him up seems to reinforce this wasn't intentional.   Yes I understand solidarity and such, but if he was a cheat, you think others would be willing to go on a limb to sacrifice their reputation.  That being said, when you live in the limelight,  every action you undertake is scrutinized, and every black mark you encounter enlarged and dissected under a microscope.   That's the pro athlete life.   One bad thing can wipe away 10 good things.   It's unfortunate that this happened to him and everything he has and will do gets marked with an asterisk.

One man’s opinion

My position on Andrew Harris—I know how hard he trains, how dedicated he is and I refuse to believe he would risk tarnishing his image and legacy by knowingly taking steroids.  Virtually all players use supplements and it’s entirely believable one could be contaminated.  
 

Lol.  Love these threads.  Monster game by Jefferson.   Fajardo gonna be turf camo next Sunday. 
 

I wouldn't touch Drew Willy with a 10ft pole.  Bridge on the other hand could be interesting.   Neither of them are better than Streveler, but  we do need a 3rd qb in case something happens to Strev and McGuire gets the "Deer in headlights" syndrome.   Anyways the media will continue to speculate until we have confirmation from the Blue Bombers what the injury actually is.    My guess is that it's a separated shoulder and that's at least 4-6 weeks.     Hope Strev is ready. 

Just trying to stay ahead of the curve, here....

Well all you armchairs wanted streveler.  Wish granted.

I think they are selling bibs with the Walby burger.  You can buy one for your problem...

Pretty sure this deserves a life time supply of gin. Too bad you probably drank through it already in the dark ages of this team.

Attn: Mr. Wade Miller - Confirmation on BC game agenda
Dear Mr. Miller

Do or Die checking in (my user handle on Morning Big Blue)
I just wanted to check and review the following arrangements to celebrate my 500th home game, this evening:
5 PM – Pickup by a Blue stretch limousine, transport to IGF
6 PM – Appearance on CJOB pre-game show.
6:15 PM – Visit to Bomber locker room to deliver inspirational speech
6:30 PM – Complimentary yard long Shawarma, from Obby Khan.
7:00 PM – Free ride around the stadium, in Captain Blue’s airplane.
7:30 PM – Performing ceremonial kickoff, after coin toss.
8:00 PM – Short roaming gig, as CJOB cynical sideline reporter
Halftime – Invitation to the 55 yard line – to receive gifts, including life long supply of gin
Halftime – Interview with TSN panel
10:00 PM – Rigged 50/50/draw

 I realize you are quite busy – but I am sure that you agree - it is important that these arrangements go off, with a hitch.  
Btw – when years ago, I called you “Friar Tuck” on Our Bombers, I was actually referring to your generosity and genial good nature.
 
Yours truly,
Do or Die
GO BOMBERS!

Exactly.   Although I believe many of us are frustrated and want to see our Grey Cup drought end asap.

I’m wondering to myself - if the Bombers are in first place, won more games than any other team, but there is such pointed anger to not playing the way a fan envisions, is it the Bombers fault? If it’s so hard to like and appreciate the current standings, why not pick a team that suits a fans expectations better....

After that pitiful performance against the Argos and the TiCats, I'm expecting a fire to be lit under their collective @$$!   
The defence needs to start playing defence.  Cover the flats, actually make a STOP on a 2nd and long for a change.   In other words, BE MENTALLY STRONG AND PREPARED. 
The offence and LaPo needs to establish the run game early and don't stray from it.   Start throwing deep balls to our highest paid receiver, and mix it up with play action.  
I could care less if Nichols throws for 200 yds or 400 yds.    Don't turn the ball over and stop playing scared.

Things I've done since their last Grey Cup!

3. Got married
4. Had a kid
You have till November before I pay off my house and become debt-free, you bums.

Yep like I said earlier, that fumble was the turning point in the game IMO.   We likely score 6 at that point.  Props to Harris for shouldering the blame though.

Love Harris but definitely don't feel bad for him.  His fumble took at least 3 points off the board and when we needed a first down near the end to close out the game he couldn't get it done.  I know this wont be popular and yes he put up some huge yards.  But I was really looking for him at the end of the game when we were still up by 6 to help the offence stay on the field and close out the game. 
 

Challenging the spot of the ball almost never works but I have never seen a ball spotted so unfairly before. The ref took the ball and placed it two feet ahead of where the pile ended up. On a fumbled snap no less. It was clearly a terrible spot.

*Harris
Can't think of a 3rd.
Secondary was atrocious. 
*Harris fumble was costly.
