  4. Henoc on his way to Hamilton & Toronto for visit

    ...and the other side of the coin is that if you make it harder for people to get to the NFL, they won't come at all.....so you're left with a diluted talent pool.

     

    Sorry, I don't buy that logic.  The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL..

     

     

    I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of.

     

     

    You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise.  Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete.  With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials.

     

    If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed.

     

     

    Define meaningful.

     

     

    Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful.

     

     

    I think your broken assumption is that you need a great degree to get a great job.  My highest-earning friend has nothing more than a high school education (makes about $135k/year).

     

    And you are making an assumption based on one anomalous outcome. If you took say, 1000 university grads and compared their median income to the average high school grad's income, then you would have a meaningful comparison.

    Spot a team 5 turnovers...give them 7 points..shut them down the rest of the way. That was an epic performance by the defence. Sure it was Sask., but they owned them tonight. Westerman, Turner, Peach, Cole - great game.

    Defence - 4 sacks, could have had 2-3 more.

    Leggett, Hurl and Bass were dominant.

    The secondary smothered the receivers. This D got help from an offence and it showed what they can do.

    Impressive to shut a team down when you initially have more turnovers than points...

     

    Leggett can do a lot of things.  He's able to show that being closer to the LOS.  I liked their 30 fronts with all the backers on the field.  Hurl has been playing very well and now taking on more of a role on 2nd downs in recent weeks.

     

     

    Couldn't agree more... I fell like the defence adds another dimension when Simmons is out there too.... Imagine having Bass, Simmons, Muamba and Leggett on the field at once...

     

    I would pee my pants before every game and I'm not that old.

     

    Are you sure this has to do with the game?

    Lawless says Henoc is visiting the Lions today.

    If he is a Christian, I would be worried.
    Why?

     

    You've never heard the claims about Christians being thrown to the lions in ancient Roman times (it never actually happened but lots of people think it did). 

     

    And Henoc is a devout Christian.

     

    Christians were, in fact fed to the lions at the colloseum in Rome, along with other captives from foreign lands, criminals and rebels. Animals were also pitted against each other as well, and gladiators fought each other, too.

    But the  "Christians" got their revenge. When Constantine converted to Christianity (sort of), and made it the official religion of the Roman empire, the newly minted Christians cheerfully began to toss pagans into the arena. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

    Who does BC get rid of if they sign Henoc, Bighill or Elimiman?

    I believe Elimiman is done for the year I believe. Regardless BC will be blowing things up and starting over if they don't start stringing together some wins.

     

    Wally may be in real trouble this year- a strange situation for him. Although I think Tedford is a good coach, the Lions are in the same situation as the Riders, and maybe even the Bombers with their quarterbacking.

    Moore was awesome last Satruday before he got hurt. Darvin Adams has to be told that if he doesn't show up on every play,he's gonzo and maybe Denmark is just tired of carrying the whole receiving corps on his back. Adams looked really, really good in that one game,and I thought we had found a receiver who would be our other deep threat.
