  1. Come on, folks. Football is a sport and sports are meant to entertain, and this will be entertaining. How well Etcheverry does will also give us an idea of how sharp our new coach's acumen is. Sort of two spectacles for the price of one, besides- compared to last couple of seasons, how could it possibly be worse?
  2. McGrath seems to have a very positive attitude- not bemoaning missing out on the NFL fantasy at all. And his credentials seem impressive, so I will pick him to come in to camp and blow his competition away.
  3. http://www.bluebombers.com/article/the-etcheverry-difference The way I remember it, Etch's defense was fun to watch. Hope that's still true. If nothing else, it will be interesting to watch.
  4. Or a substandard British vehicle. Or a substandard British vehicle. This prone gentleman looks like a Prisoner.
  5. Or a substandard British vehicle.
  6. I think this is called "high risk, high reward" and the last big proponent was a rookie head coach we had named Jeff Reinbold. Not a history to inspire confidence.
  7. Good to see that the Marvellous one is doing well... If he makes it here, we have to name him "Captain".
  8. Harper's Record: Sneaking the bodies of fallen soldiers home at night to deny them full ramp honours Voter suppression Muzzling of scientists 8-15 billion dollars lost in Afghanistan Wailing over the Senate while appointing the most senators of any PM The Robocall scandal Conservative senator scandal Election (in and out) scandals Even his chief policy adviser has turned on him as a dictator Trying to impose media control
  9. At the time of the combine Coombs said he put on 10lbs of muscle. Brian Dobie said he has put on about 20lbs total since training this offseason. If Ottawa takes Lavertu, I would not at all be opposed to taking Coombs. Do we really need a NI running back who gets two touches per year?
  10. You'd think that someone as big as Armitage would be able to make the team by just getting in D-linemens' ways for a few seconds.
  11. Interesting. I wonder what the Bomber brain trust sees in Goossen that leads them to believe he should be ranked lower. Attitude? Lack of speed? Teachability? Fragility?
  12. Why be different from all the other Suncor readers/viewers?
  13. Maybe even a Crocodile Dundee reference.
  14. Got busted last summer for DWI and then cut from the Denver Broncos. 6'3" and 305 lbs- seems pretty athletic, but the question is was the DWI an isolated dumb incident or part of a bigger, dumber problem.
  15. Looks to have good body control and peripheral vision, but lacks breakaway speed and didn't seem to have broken too many tackles. Reads blocking well, and had some darned good line blocking in the clips. Could be one of those good-but-not-great players who hangs around- he didn't get all those looks by teams on the basis of a sparkling personality alone.
  16. Wally has now officially been diagnosed with Oldtimers disease.
  17. My complaints have more to do with how the cost is continually going up, when realistically a lot of these issues should have been solved from the beginning. My taxes are going up anyways really don't care about that, even if they rose my tickets by $50 -80 I wouldn't care. While I do enjoy the stadium and think it's one of the best in Canada, the fact that these issues are still coming up and the Bombers are still being bailed out without even paying back $1 to the province so far, are the issues for me. Do it right the first time, that's all I ask. I attended every game (save for one, due to my grandmothers birthday) last season, so does that mean I can voice my opinion or are you still against it ? IMO Jets tickets being what they are and people paying it, proved that Winnipegers are not cheap. We just want people to think we are. I suggest that Winnipegers are not cheap, but demand value for their money. In places like Toronto the Leafs will draw full houses no matter how pathetic the team is, and that leads to management and players not giving a spit. Jets fans have given them a Mulligan for three years out of novelty and nostalgia but that ride is probably going to an end if the team does not perform a whole lot better next year. You can be a fan and still demand better, by voting with your feet if necessary. Being a fan doesn't automatically mean you are stupid, at least not in Winnipeg.
  18. He's going to have to have one heck of a raise to live in Vancouver full time.
  19. We need all the help we can get, and tall DB's are a rare commodity. Now, if only they can play....
  20. Elliott's supporters here seem to have forgotten his unwillingness to play according to direction. He had a gunslinger's mentality and this was his undoing- he tried to force plays and thought that if he got the ball in the vicinity of his receivers, they would get it. Too often he was wrong because the long bomb wasn't always the right answer.
  21. Looks like an anatomy class illustration.
  22. The universe is unfolding as it should.
  23. For anyone who is griping about Winnipeg pro sport facilities costing too much, keep tuned into the costs for replacing Taylor/Mosaic Field and the stadium and arena in Calgary.
  24. Those are some acute observations right there... There's nothing cute or acute about a Rider fan... Tell me about it, I LIVE with one.... You have our deepest sympathies, what with having to use small words when conversing and all.....
  25. Do they know something we don't? Did you badmouth Gainer?
