hu·mor [ˈ(h)yo͞omər] NOUN the quality of being amusing or comic, especially as expressed in literature or speech:

He'd best stay out of hallways, then.

Maybe. I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might tend to incinerate me.

Smart move by the Argos. Bass still has a lot of tread left on his tires.

Hmmmm...shaping up to be an interesting game to watch.

Soo......his play is turning you on?

No individual stat is, and that is why I qualified my statement, but its a good rough indicator.

Considering the dearth of talent Trestman inherited along with a brittle quarterback, he has done very well indeed.

Harris has dedication, power and smarts. Roberts had incredible talent and the center of gravity of a personhole cover which made it very difficult to tackle him. Had Roberts done some even average self-care, he would have been in the George Reed legend category.

Yet, its amazing that we have the third best O-line as judged by the number of sacks given up. I can't recall who the better ones are for sure, but I think it was Calgary and (WTF?) Edmonton.

Just as opposition parties do not win elections so much as governments lose them, sometimes teams win it all because the opposition implodes at critical times. The only credible opposition to the Bombers so far this year is Calgary with the Riders showing occasional signs of life. I'm betting the real Grey Cup game will be the Western Final.

Agreed. The Rider and Lions' defenses are decent, though.

The key to the Bomber success this season and the last half of 2016 was the recruiting that Walters oversaw, and chief among the arrivals which turned the Bomber fortunes around was...Matt Nichols. Nichols has exceeded the expectations of everyone, and before someone else points it out, the re-tooled O-line and Andrew Harris sure helped.

O'Shea should take both Kyle Walters and Matt Nichols out for a very expensive dinner.

Boy, that's a lot of work. Thanks.

Mitchell has the benefit of (arguably) the best supporting cast in the league, whereas Nichols has made his own case for the MOP award. However, whichever QB takes his team to the Grey Cup will likely win it.

Have we heard anything about the new receiver who arrived last week (Brown?). Could he be the piece we need to replace Dressler?

Calgary may not be the powerhouse team of last year (even though they choked in the Grey Cup) but they are still the team to beat. The biggest problem in the league this year appears to be the lack of good starting quarterbacks or at least their performances. Much as I hate to admit it, Jones' Riders have a pretty good defense (not great) and BC is fairly close to that as well.

Damn. He's onto me.

And the defenses of every decent team.

Is this a necrophilia reference?

Its even more surprising given the terrible quarterbacking in many of the CFL teams.

Bombers have been the beneficiaries of a whole lot of team collapses (Montreal, Edmonton, Toronto, Hamilton and probably BC) this year. Even Calgary has struggled for one reason or another and Reilly missed throws he ordinarily would have made.

If anyone needs a chuckle this morning, go to 3downnation and read Cameron Judge's twitter diarrhea- he describes a bizarre college life, and makes me wonder if he learned his lifestyle at Trump University.

Just stay to Hell away from Las Vegas. This time, what happened in Vegas isn't going to stay in Vegas.
