Sounds there will some hard decisions to make at receiver and DB positions- maybe linebacker as well. Would be nice if Richards would be able to get onto the field- he is losing valuable time here to make the team as a starter.

Brown say year two of new regimes is the charm ...

And far less likely to be hacked as per Rupert Murdoch's minions. Blackberry's security features are good enough to get them banned in more than one country, if I remember correctly. -
It wasn't Kelly's coaching abilities that scuttled him here.

In the Excited States of America (home to 90% of all the lawyers in the world), people sue organizations all the time for what we would consider frivolous reasons, but the plaintiffs hope that the bad publicity and cost of mounting a defence will get the organization to settle. And usually they do, but the standards of proof are a good deal more lax down there, so a finding for the plaintiff is more likely than here in Canada. Banks is probably thinking he can force a settlement and walk away with a tidy nest egg, but I wouldn't bet on it. The CFL's insurance company may look at their costs in defending themselves and offer a token settlement with a non-disclosure agreement.

I sure hope we're paying him what he's worth. If O'shea thought he is good, then I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I just hope he's not looking at it blindly, just like how he saw Ejiro Kuale at last year's TC. Has anyone heard the description, "S/he wouldn't say **** if her/his mouth was full of it"? For me, that was the most annoying thing last season- that there were really, really inept players (and at least one coach) on the team, and everyone was pretending that all was sweetness and light. I know about the code of silence and all that, but there ought to have been someone who called bullpoop and at least at the end of the season named names and swung the axe.

Yes.. Blackberry 10.3 is hands down the best platform for messaging. The hub makes communication (Twitter, facebook, bbm,whatsapp,email) so simple and effiecent. Activated on BES you get the personal side of the phone that the users can run and install whatever they want (blackberry or ANDROID apps) without us having to worry about it affecting their corporate email/files manager/ SMB shares (Connected OTA). Using blackberry drive the users can hit all our internal file servers and run presentations from their phones if they like. Though bes (workspace) they can use the browsers to access any intranet site they like. With Blackberry Blend/Link they can remotely pull files from their home pcs/office pcs/whatever easily while on the go. With the Blackberry passport i get 2 days of use out of a single charge, take pretty good pictures and can fireoff emails at will without feeling the urge to walk back to a computer to hammer it out. I've used IOs for a long time and Used android (s3, nexus 5) for over a year but other then all the fun apps i seldom use other then when pooping, they don't handle communications the greatest. But thats just me.. We do have some creative types that insist on apple devices.. But.. Well. we don't have apps that are specific to our work, so its mostly time killers they " need" i use and ipad mini and ipad 3 and surface pro as my tablets.. I get the draw of Ios and Samsungs running android for alot of people, and alot of it comes from " what phone should i get? " replies with "Iphone or samsung depending on how geeky or hippy they are" Go Blackberry! We love our Z10's. -

Much of the unknown revolves around the cities. These players know about New York, Los Angeles or Dallas but have never heard of Winnipeg, Hamilton or Saskatchewan. Canada is just a giant frozen wasteland full of non-threatening weird-speaking dog-sled driving hosers that Americans spend 2 seconds a year expending mental energy on. I don't know how many times I've spoken to American visitors who are walking around Kelowna dumb-founded that we have electricity and roads and Burger King franchises, just like them. And that we have periods of time in the year that we aren't shivering under snow banks. And some of these people have been from Spokane. Whenever there is a "Canada" topic on Jeopardy, it's always the last one chosen. Contestants can answer questions on Greek philosophers, classical music composers and nuclear physics, but stare dumb-founded at the camera if asked what province Toronto is in. Or a name of one prime minister we've ever had. Or what sport is revered in Canada that involves a puck, a net, and ice. Alex's disgusted looks are always classic too. http://globalnews.ca/news/2033286/watch-jeopardy-contestant-fails-canadian-geography-loses-it-all/ They're on to us!!!

Truthfully, Greaves was never going anywhere .. that was just a lot of idle speculation by fans .. Kirk Penton Article ... It never made sense Greaves has been one of our best OL for years, rarely gets beat... Again, it was idle speculation with nothing backing it .. and as dependable (health wise) as Greaves has been ... let's not overstate how effective he is .. he is (has been) part of the problem with the interior of our line. Nobody, but nobody, on the O-line looked good last season, so lets cut Greaves some slack for the time being. If he is the weak link this year, then we will fix it.

We could offer Brady a personal deflator aide.

Obviously not the wright player.

Sounds fishy to me.

Hyped stuff usually is not all its cracked up to be. For example, I was at Ikea a few months ago and saw new, improved toilet brishes. I bought three, but after two weeks, I went back to toilet paper.

Blue Bombers acquire defensive back in trade with Calgary

I'm heartbroken. I'll be over in the corner crying. I'm reliving how my father didn't protect me. -

Why didn't you put this comment in a new thread? It would have had more impact. -
Boy, a lot of miles on this guy. Odd that he doesn't stick, despite obvious talent.

Good for Weatherman... err Westerman... bad on Daniels. any reports for our awesome group of long-haired Cdn LBs - Hurl, Newman, Waggoner and Briggs. Hurl continues to play a lot at MLB in the drills and scrimmages. Wouldn't surprise me to two starting Canadian linebackers to start the season. But but but Bass is such an awesome name for a middle linebacker.

A tackle making a block and stopping the rush? What does that look like exactly? I've heard so much about it, but haven't seen that happen since the days of Walby... I have heard of such tales told by ancestors around the fire late at night so as to not confuse and frighten the children.

How do people not understand that it's all entertainment? It's like the heels in the pro 'rasslin. Just trying to get a reaction out of people and in order to do that you gotta go over the top. No one gets excited about a moderate balanced opinion on the radio. Are you saying that pro rasslin' isn't real?!?!?!?!? -

Any show is a better show then Adler's. I like that he asks the hard questions, but he sometimes goes too far with his own agenda and acts like one child making fun of another child. And that is what happens when you try to be a Bill O'Reilly/Ezra Levant clone. -
Bomber Camp Day #1 rating the best/worst

I didn't pay enough attention to him today to comment on how he looked today. I paid attention to the punt /kick return drill and didn't seem impressed. The way he caught the ball screamed fumble if it was a regular game. It's day 1 so in not going to freak out over it. I am/was expecting Veltung to show really well and early in camp. We have enough kick returners that he is not going to get too many chances to stand out. -
Marve may have all the assets he needs to be a great CFL QB except the experience he can pick up but how much onus can we place on him with such a wonky knee? It could let him and the team down at a critical moment and could be a problem just waiting to happen.

CJOB's coach's show is almost unlistenable- it seems to be about 15 minutes of actual sports chat and the rest is commercials and announcements. The whole purpose of their sports broadcasts is to squeeze in as much revenue-generation stuff as possible and when Irving is doing a solo broadcast, it is just sad how much 'OB cheaps out. -
Sounds like a lot of good competion for our NI receivers and somewhat surprising that Reaves looks as good as he does- he may have a very high ceiling if he is showing this well this early. We may have some interesting trade bait for some interesting returns.
