Those flagrant spears and hits to the head could be fixed by an ejection and loss of pay for the game.

He wears lifts in Canada.

Did you bring enough of whatever you are smoking for everyone?

Bombers have to be considered underdogs tonight. The Esks are disgustingly healthy and the Bombers are hurting. I expect the Esks to blitz Streveler early and often while making sure that neither he nor Harris get any chance to rack up running yardage. LaPolice has to get creative and the 7 yard passes are not going to cut it. The Bomber secondary is going to be under siege all night and the only answer for that is to get in T. Harris's face. I'm hoping that Kongbo et al will feast on Saxelid and if they hold their RB in to help block, our linebackers can drop into coverage for the short/medium passes.

This fiasco was all on the NFL and their promotional people. I bet they assumed that if they just showed up with "C" team players, no matter what the product on the field was, that we would flock to the gates with money in hand for the opportunity to see how wonderful the NFL was. The outcome was predictable. Had they offered the tickets for a reasonable price (about the same as Bomber tickets), or even discounted them below that to fill the stadium, it would have been a better experience for all.

Not unless Oakland responds to extortion and ponies up several hundred million dollars for a new stadium and concedes all revenues from it to the Raiders. BTW: is everyone aware that the NFL has the status of a not-for-profit organization despite earning hundreds of millions per year and having several billions in the bank?

He was probably related to Thiadric.

That should qualify you for a CPP disability pension.

This proves that PT Barnum was right.

*YAWN*

One game should not anoint Streveler as the messiah nor damn him as a wasted signing. Not many quarterbacks would survive those criteria.

Proper daily eliminations are important. That way you don't need to call Roto-Rooter.

Ah well, then its all good.

Was that a real 'stache or a repurposed roadkill dead muskrat?

That would be my game plan, but Woli can neutralize that linebacker easily enough and allow CS17 to break out into the secondary. I remember Peter Dalla Riva doing that to Dan Kepley way back in a Grey Cup game, Kepley became an instant non-factor.

Sounds like my old dating criteria.

So...it looks like Harris is available. If he is a bit nicked up, he may start but be platooned with Augustine.

Bridge is at large is he not? Can't get cheaper than free, and you can always get your money back.

"Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently determined fool".

Bridge has kinda shown the same, but he has played a bit more and a helluva lot cheaper. It may come down to who is more coachable.

The Edmonton Inuit could be forgiven for feeling overconfident. They have the healthiest starting quarterback in the league and overall their starters have not been decimated like much of the rest of the league. Given Streveler's inexperience, their defence is probably smacking their lips, but his tendency to take off with the ball may be a big advantage. I do not think much of their linebackers but their D-line is solid,

I see several problems with a trade for Franklin, if it comes to that. Firstly, it would leave the Argos without any credible backup to Bethel-Thompson. Secondly, he would not come cheap and it has been very evident that Walters treasures his draft picks and has done well with them. Thirdly, it would be a clear signal that the Bomber brain trust has no confidence in either Streveler or McGuire, and that would be a Bad Thing. Fourthly, since leaving the Esks, Franklin has shown very little. So- a hard no.

You will be using the XFL for comedy relief?

Yup. the Lions, Argos and probably the Riders would have to be interested.

For all of Nichols' accomplishments, all the team has to show, but if this year results for his time here is...one playoff win. Before you succumb to apoplexy, this is obviously not all his fault, but if at the end of the season, all the team has to show for it is just one more playoff win, a shakeup has to be considered.
