No question the stadium has been and will be subsidized to an extent, like pretty much every pro arena and stadium in North America and probably world-wide. There was no alternative to building a new facility- the old one was crumbling and would have condemned the Bombers to a slow death.

Dressler has more playing days behind him than in front of him. I like him a lot for his grit and smarts but he and all our receivers need to be pushed hard.

I appreciate all the news and thanks to those who attended and bothered to report- keep it up!

Like a dead raccoon matures on the roadside.

You'd think with a name like Justin Dunk, he would be working for Tim Horton's.

As was reported in this forum earlier, Gause has the tools and attitude but has a bum knee which may or may not cause him problems. I sure hope not, because he sounds exactly like who we need in the middle. Weird photo of him in the link, though.

Works for me. Looking forward to it with great anticipation.

Heath was talented, but I often wondered if he was free-lancing too may times.

It could have been a reference to a Welsh onion as well.

They deserve each other.

At first glance, one would think that. However, the horde of DB's that have been signed would seem to indicate that the Bomber braintrust sees reasons for concern.

So....the Bombers have taken a Leak?

Peterson ought to be urine-tested weekly, but the Bomber defence is quite unsettled at the moment. If O'Shea has Hall on a very short leash, and the incoming talent is as good as it seems to be, we will be all right.

Tyler Stewart sounds like a throw-in for training camp just to have enough arms to go around. Seems to be a typical NFL prospect QB but without any great strengths.

They hate it because of the volatility and unpredictably- often they cannot tell who is doing what to whom and even who will launch themselves at the officers.

My family is riddled with both RCMP and city police, and all hate going to domestic disturbance calls.

We have been raised to respect police and believe that they are above approach, but psych profiles of bikers and cops are scarily similar. https://www.alternet.org/profiled-stalked-and-murdered-footage-shows-cops-gunning-down-unarmed-black-man-california-walmart

Any cop will tell you that people who are gakked and violent are literally as rare as hen's teeth. Conversely, if cops are called to a "domestic disturbance" and the occupants are drinking, they can be certain that its gonna get ugly. Stoners just want to be left alone , eat Cheetos and stare at their hands in amzaement.

Sounds like a Wagnerian opera role.

Re: Cierre Woods- Strengths: Wood has a good frame and possesses thick legs. Quick and shifty runner. Reaches maximum acceleration quickly. Willing to run up the middle and shows a burst. Good feet and makes controlled, fluid movements when moving laterally. Showcases good vision. Weaknesses: Doesn't play with as much power as his frame would indicate. Unrefined as a blocker, showcases poor technique. Has had trouble holding down the starting running back job at Notre Dame. Ball security a question. Suspended for violation of team rules. Bottom Line:Wood has plus size, but doesn't play like a bigger back. He has good vision, acceleration, and plays very fluidly. Post season workouts will be important for him, but he will likely be selected within the middle rounds.

You omitted two defining southern Alberta characteristics: porn shops and religiosity (like your Cowboy churches where everyone has to dress and talk like cowpersons).

Wood is a bit of an oddball running back. He seems to be fast more than quick, although did not show breakaway speed. More shifty than a power runner and a sort of blend of all running back assets but not outstanding in any area. In the film clip, he didn't seem to break many tackles.

If its any comfort, the winter here hasn't been ideal either and spring is about 3 weeks late. Did you know that in Calgary, there is only one month in which there has never been snow? Its July.

You have our sympathies about the Calgary part.

I find it interesting that the two most heavily-recruited areas this off-season were areas that were identified in this forum as Achilles' heels for the Bombers. None of the new signing may be worth beans but at least the positions will be contested. And the last open, weeping sore for the Bombers was MLB, and we seem to have some good candidates for that position. Training camp ought to be interesting, as usual.
