  1. I recall that Bob sounded relieved that a caller actually took Reinbold to task. Memorable, because, according to a gentlemen's agreement, Bob was not allowed to be critical of Reinbold or any BB coach.
  2. If Nichols and the rest of the team continues to progress, I think 12 and 6 is realistic. The jokers in the deck are whether or not we will have a solid MLB and a couple of receivers who can stretch the field.
  3. No one is irreplaceable but Bob is a close as you can get to that. Winnipeg has been fortunate to have so many great sportscasters/reporters: Bob Irving, Don Whitman, Jack Matheson, Cactus Jack, etc etc.
  4. Isn't that an oxymoron- like "military intelligence"?
  5. And you forgot to mention that as a result of his usage of steroids, Denmark cannot play in the CFL this season but has been cleared to run in the Kentucky Derby.
  6. Damn. I didn't realize the O'Shea was pregnant, let alone having given birth. Gotta keep up.
  7. If Bennett didn't think he could beat Nichols out in a fair matchup, we are well rid of him and both he and the Riders deserve each other. If Bennett saw that O'Shea would keep starting Nichols no matter what, that would concern me. We seen that movie before.
  8. This is a problem with damage to his right knee. Apparently his bones are made of spun glass and his ligaments are boiled spaghetti.
  9. Some people are just not cut out for contact sports. Maybe he ought to take up competitive crocheting.
  10. In comparing the two, I see Nichols as being more competition in personality- he wants to win and Glenn just doesn't seem to have the damn-the-torpedoes-full-speed-ahead mentality. This might be better for Glenn's longevity but does not endear himself to the fans.
  11. I think the body type makes him closer to Fantuz than any Bomber player of recent years.
  12. We don't know if Jones was given direction by the board, but regardless, for all the scorn we have heaped on Jones and Co., this was heartening. Not only is Cox's pro football career over, his life is probably over. The legal system down there is particularly hard on backs and repeat offenders,
  13. And not just the imaginary kind, like before.
  14. I think the knock on Durant in the last couple of years with the Riders was his brittleness and poor supporting cast. It seemed to me that during that same stretch, Durant got really beaten up, mentally and physically and lost a good deal of his competitive fire. It was probably time for him to move on, but I have my doubts that Glenn or Bennett are going to lead the team to the Promised Land. Glenn needs an extra count or two plus darned good receivers but if he gets hit, he gets rattled. Bennett- who knows?
  15. Apparently you can fool 87% of the people all of the time.
  16. Fast is nice, but if Richards can use his size, run good patterns and hang onto the ball, I will happily settle for that. Fantuz has never been a speed merchant, but he got open and hung onto the ball for a darned good career.
  17. In my view, Bass was Ok, but not great. We have had the need for a homicidal middle linebacker for several years, and I sure hope that either Knox (who apparently comes from a hard school) or Temple is it.
