Can't remember when I have been this optimistic about the training camp talent. But then again, I often forget why I went into the kitchen.

The Bombers under O'Shea and LaPolice have the ultimate responsibility for the Bomber's fortunes and so far have won exactly one playoff game in their tenure. Walters has provided all of the necessary pieces and if the team does not advance to the cup, questions will have to be asked of the coaches.

Regardless, that had to be the nadir of any of the Bomber games I have had the misfortune to witness in my nearly 50 years of being a Bomber fan. Ugh.

For all the hype, I guess Anderson was just not good enough to e held over to the main camp.

Pederson is clearly off his meds again.

No doubt the Riders, RedBlacks and Alouettes are waiting anxiously.

Sounds like a nut.

And some of them can remember dinosaurs.

Good to see the Canuck players taking things seriously enough to come to the mini-camp, as well as Streveler and Anderson. Looks to be a very competitive camp from Day One.

The NFL workout is just a formality. He's in the bag.

Since when has money been a concern for the Riders? To them, the salary cap is a suggestion, not a limit.

Good to hear that there are still humanitarians out there.

Its probably just a penis-measuring contest. All will be well.

Where else do you have to filter the tap water through your teeth?

My reaction to the Chris Matthews signing: Simon says, "Take a biiiig step forward".

Premature senility?

Certainly no lack of speed or talent. He will either be a sane Duron Carter, dominate the league and be gone in a year or two or a complete bust.

And well stocked with Geritol.

I may have been mistooken- apologies to Mr. Martin.

So- even a threadbare team has to pull in at least 15 million per week to break even.

Disagree. Tee Martin was proof that you cannot show up at training camp looking like Mr. Bibendum and expect to make the roster.

Shows to go you that the best laid plans of mice and men go oft astray. I hope for a speedy and complete recovery for Mr. Clark- it sounded like a serious injury because they were describing him as awake and alert. He was obviously badly concussed, so a return to the Riders this season is not a given by any means.

Fixed that for you.

But but but that sort of thing makes the rest of us feel better. And Corney and Waggoner were good players for whom life took an unexpected turn.

I don't see the BC Lions' situation being any better than the one in Edmonton last year- if anything, its worse. I hope Reilly's next of kin has been alerted and he has a health-care directive in place.
