I think he may be remembered more for his Never Alone Foundation that helped cancer patients, families & caregivers than his time as a Bomber player or President. Rest in Peace, Lyle Bauer. He'll be missed.

On the Rod Pederson Show last week, Jim Barker went after Nathan Rourke for his comments about the Commissioner & the way the CFL has handled the Kelly fiasco. He was genuinely angry that Rourke said what he did. He said Rourke signing with New England was a mistake & he's likely fourth on the depth chart now after the draft & free agent qb signings. He called Rourke's situation "Karma" for his criticism of Randy Ambrosie.
I like Jim Barker a lot but was disappointed he was being so petty. I agree with Rourke & a lot of fans do as well. It would have been better to have refused to give na opinion or just say he disagreed & that's it. Unfortunately, it made Barker look bad. I think those with the Argos & the CFL probably think the same.

Refs didnt lose series..................give your head a shake......

These ******* refs.  There have been so many ******* missed calls on the Jets it's infuriating.  Of course the blatant interference on 55 goes uncalled and then the Avs promptly score.  Jets should.have a 5-3 late 2nd. Miller gets hit in the head... No call.  
But Colton drops to the ice and is doing his soccer impression and gets a call.  Then Parise gets hurt and they blow the whistle.
The officiating has been f****** awful this series and it's biased against the Jets.  10 mins left in the season.  
Omfg!!!! That's a clean hit by 13.   How they ******* call that a penalty?????

Pionk just awful all series long…

******* Pionk.   Such a liability.

Pionk just awful all series long…

Pionk just awful all series long…

This was too good not to share:
 
 

Bighill would do better and last longer if the d-line kept the 340lb behemoths off him. Which is another way of saying we need a dominant nose tackle.

They should allow players to bet on CFL games. #TooSoon

It's been said already, but it really is a shame that Brady got robbed of the MOP award. The League could have had a guy who at least appears to be a proud Canadian, playing for his home team and literally rescues puppies, as the face of the league....instead they have a Chad...

They could have given the MOP to Brady who'd be an excellent face of the CFL but they gave it to King Douchebag.

Liegghio's punting cost them a Grey Cup.  I think he was basically done here after that game.

Anyone else irritated by the fact they got Janarion hurt last year by running him up the gut on a gimmick play? 
I’m all for using ST weapons as part of the offence, but running a 170lb returner up the middle was very foolish imo. 

I think McCrae had plenty of talent, but not the best situation to be in with Brady hogging the ball and the dedicated crew  of receivers he was competing against plus Grant.  As for wages, he probably played for close to minimum throughout his tenure, can't fault the guy for trying to make a living playing football.

I'm not overly concerned, but more curiuous as to how we go about the other end opposite WJ and how.who we use as rotation. Withe the Jackson stupidity now off the table thre is a good chance we can get back to a deeper rotation which will do wonders
We know we will be fine with WJ and likely Lawson as the main end and DT....If we choose to go with a canadian starter on dline,
Fox can be very good and isn't a raw rookie, and I ecpect Randall to rely push fo a spot and can be a big load in the middle, and as mentioned really like Woods...so roater allowing if we able to dress those 3...or 2 of the 3 we will be okay and have a way more active interior.
We know Haba can play and should only get better, but I still feel Garbutt is the better and may surprise coming out of camp....that being aid we may even dress 2 import ends to go with WJ....or 3 import interior guys, especially now with Ford back and the possibility he grabs a starters role in the secondary.
We have a few other real intruiging end prospects coming in as well, an hopefully we go defense heavy with our global picks as there are some actual ballers there this yr...so competion this yr is gonna be legit and real....and 1 yr out from a home cup appearance being a possibility is the perfect time to start the partial transition to young hungry talent....Camp should be very intersesting for sure
My main concern is on how we formulate the O-line and who we choose to use, and hopefully it's based on true talent, not a personal like/bias or the old reward system we have used in past yrs.....If guys like Schmeckle...Thomas....Bennett (if he doesn show massive improvement as his age now limits upside) Kolo and Kramdi (good role player and in-situ guy, but not a true front line starter) come out of camp as starters/hevy rotation guys we failed in the off-season, and will be again next spring trying to do an overhaul for 2025 possible home cup appearance. Wedefinately will be a younger, more hungry team, and will have a nice blend of vets...and youngsters

Their case manager/boss is Mike Kelly, and all of their targets are "handled internally".   When someone needs to be liquidated, it's a "non-issue".

Some of you mistake the legal process with professional conduct policy. 
 
The CFL  doesn’t have to wait for anything if they determine their conduct policy has been violated. 

Humble brag, no doubt. 

Which may be the secret ingredient in McRibs.

You forgot 5 ounces of rye...neat...in a paper cup.

Bombers financials for the year are out...
 
 

In other news, Argo's suck, CK not a guy I would like representing an organization I love and adore but hey I just live in an echo chamber not willing to listen to the one argo fan's 'perspective'.
