A facking Collosus! Don’t see guys that big anymore.
It was all due to steroids.

It literally never occurred to me until this very moment that polo park was named after... an actual park for playing polo... very cool...
It could also be named for a popular short-sleeved knit shirt.

Sad story for the guy. As a bombers fan I don’t see this having a huge effect as this team is loaded at offensive line and will likely add to the depth in this year’s draft.
Looked to be a horrific injury. Can't blame him- in a few years that ankle will be arthritic as heck.

Considering the circumstances under which Chamblin left the Riders, I cannot see him as a credible candidate for Argo head coach. I suspect they were just filling out their dance card.
Touche' Spuds. Now lets see how that turns out. When Chamblin was HC of the Riders, all was well when the team was winning, but his rants in the locker room were apparently epic and his public one not much less so. But he will be in Toronto, so that sort of thing would probably never be noticed.

This debate over who to hang is unresolvable in this forum. We do not know and will probably never know who called what play, and who screwed up . The evidence is in the game film and the logs of the OC, and we will not see those. Part of O'Shea's modus operandi is to trot out platitudes and not tell it like it was. There is the need to not throw a given player or players under the bus, but the assembled faithful would feel a lot more involved if we had a sense of what was really going on and how it was going to be addressed. All we have is speculation and that gets old real fast.

I don't recall any player being called that in relation to the CBA. As was pointed out, there used to be separate personal services contracts signed separately by players back in the 90's. Didn't count against the $$$ amount of salary s a team spent as the owner negotiated it. I remember Doug Flutie had a $250,000 contract with the Stamps & a million dollar contract with then Stamps owner Larry Ryckman…. who stiffed Flutie by never paying him.
Ryckman did that to a lot of Calgary businesses and people.

Why do some people mention language for Mexican players ?........ I haven't caught any reported news anywhere in any media about Mexican players affecting the league.
They could be referred to as "Montezuma's revenge".

Good Kelowna kid...
We won't hold that against him- we're used to that sort of thing here.

Hef’s 2011 season was better than Jovon’s. JJ got some media love for getting an INT in every secondary position that year because we had to move around so much due to injury.
Jovon was also much more bombastic and thus got a lot of media attention, so that made him a lot more prominent. Hefney just went about his business.

I would be interested in Reinbold to coach the teams. The Bombers need an upgrade there.
He was epically terrible head coach/GM, but a good special teams coordinator.

I wasn't aware that knee injuries cause quarterbacks to repeatedly toss the ball to opposing players. The league and coaches need to be alerted.

Russell Wilson did the same thing his last game that Nichols did in the Banjo Bowl. The pocket collapsed around him & he tried to throw the ball out of bounds but was hit as he threw. The wounded duck never made it to the sidelines. It was picked off & the DL would have had clear sailing to the end zone but was tackled almost as soon as he caught it by a Seahawk. Wilson is one of the best qbs in the NFL. If it can happen to him then it can happen to Nichols. **** happens sometimes.
And in Nichols' case, again and again. Those gaffes in the games against the Riders may have been the worst in two consecutive games by ant QB in Bomber livery I can recall seeing. I do not think they can be ascribed to any physical cause, either.

Ed Tait suggested that we should follow the FCS final between Eastern Washington and Maine to see how this guy (who's on our neg list) does:
Early in the third qtr, Eastern Washington leads Maine by 35 to 5. Barriere's stats: 18-24, 254 YDS, 5 TD, 1 INT.
Impressive. Here's a link to ESPN's site:
http://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup?gameId=401102914
Sounds like he would not get a sniff from the NFL, but would do well here if he has the ability to adapt to the CFL game. A true dark horse.

What do you mean "fresh start"? Like you said about Nichols, O'Shea is likely to perform the same as he always has. My question was about how far the loyalty should go. If Nichols sucks and gets us going on another extended losing streak do we have to endure it as long as we did last year? I mean, shouldn't we have seen more of Streveler during that losing streak last year?
Fans have notoriously short memories, so if the team does well out of the gate, all will be forgiven. Nichols does not have to be an all-star but if he repeats his play of this year, it will either of two things: either he needs to be replaced or the rest of the offence will have to play light out to compensate.

Jon is, without question, a far better punter than Bob ever was, and that's coming from a MASSIVE Bob Cameron fan.....having said that, I likely vote for Bob because JR wasn't around long enough, plus the 88 GC.... Maybe the single greatest CFL playoff punting display.
And probably the best into-the-wind punter ever.

As a footnote to Brian Herosian, he and his late wife had a special needs son (Ben) and one of the reasons Brian chose to retire was to look after him. Brian did remarry and have two more kids. One of the reasons I recall him so vividly is that Brian's late wife had the same first name as mine and we had driven that same road a few days before.

Well next season Nichols will be on thin ice, if he goes through a stretch of doing nothing then I can't imagine him winning that starting job back unless Streveler really shits the bed.

If history is any indicator, Nichols will likely be about the same as this year- for better or worse. The only real question is what O'Shea will do about that, if anything.

I actually have Herosian listed in with the group of halfbacks for this week's nominations, but I can put him in with the safeties for next week if that is more proper. Let me know the group's preference, but he will be included one way or another.
According to my admittedly porous memory, Herosian was most effective as a safety.

I'll admit that I have never heard of the monster position before.
I found this on Yahoo Answers
There are a number of variations in terminology - anyone remember the Jack position from 2011?

Pot usage is not all that innocuous for some. Heavy, continued intake can trigger psychoses, overwrite DNA in sperm and even cause lactation in males due to suppression of testosterone. Those who use THC to self-medicate anxiety or bipolar disorder (etc), typically do not get better from the presenting issue.
