Give credit where credit is due, Ray and the Argos played well. And the Riders played poorly and beat us. The senior flag football's last place team would scare me right now. Never too early to hit the panic button. You mean we lost the turnover battle 6-0 and still almost won? I'm amazed at how SOME people have gone from happy to doom and gloom and smashing the panic button in the blink of an eye.

If they did that we'd just see even more PI being called by the refs, just so they don't miss anything, with the thinking that they can get it right on review. Kind of how it looks like that's what they do with plays at the goalline. Just call anything close a TD, because then it's reviewed and they hopefully get it right. The PI challenge flags are exactly as idiotic as everyone thought they would be. I still can't believe the CFL went ahead with it.

I like the wings at Smitty's. Then again, I'm not a huge food snob

I also agree that if we can get Charles Roberts in his prime he should replace Grigsby. What is Walters waiting for?

One bad year after a gazillion great ones? The owner did pay Calvillo and Trestman's salary, if we're going to chalk up all their success to either of those guys.

That's not really true. He's not a bruiser like Messam, but for some reason with every running back since Roberts people are always complaining that they don't break enough tackles. How many RBs do?

Me too, until I accidentally read this post. oops!

Well deserved IMO.

Heard someone on 1290 (Bauming?) imply strongly that O'Shea considers grigsby their best blocker, which is why he is starting and they cut Ford.

In that strain, I met someone who HATES the Lego Movie? What. The. Hell. I feel sorry for this person. Me too. Everything is cool when you're part of the team.

When did Grigsby ever have a hole yesterday? I am being serious here.

Nope. I believe it's the inspired word of God. Give me an example of a contradiction in it and I will point you towards an explanation of it.

Well no, the Bible is not "full of contradictions" like you so often say here. If you're as religious as you say you are you should learn a bit about the new covenant and old covenant and which Old Testament laws Jesus abolished (and which he didn't). It's not as complicated as people think if you put in an honest effort to read the context of the verses you throw around so dangerously. I find it extremely frustrating. To whoever made the comment about just following Jesus's words in the Bible and not all the other stuff - Jesus himself quoted and supported the Old Testament scriptures more than anyone else in the Bible. So it doesn't really work.

I thought Willy passed the ball quite well actually, until it fell apart at the end. To put up over 300 yards again when your running game is absolutely no threat at all is pretty impressive to me. And again, Messam's 130 yards led to almost no points. They needed a passing attack to finish drives, and they didn't have it. I'm encouraged by last night's game.

Haha. I was actually thinking about that this morning. Thanks Bombers. Maybe I already tried to stick this caveat in earlier, but I guess when your running game is completely nonexistant, then it actually can hurt you. BUT, I just want to point out that even with absolutely zero running attack the Bombers very likely still would have won if you just take away either Willy's fumble or the pick six, or if Kuale had held on to that interception. And even with Messam running the ball down their throat for half the game, their offense only scored 10 points. Some of which were turnover aided. So maybe that game actually proved me right!

Regarding the first bolded sentence, I would say that it is sad that people are stupid enough to make the connection between having the traditional Christian view of homosexuality and anti-gay hatred. Regarding the second bolded sentence, you are right. The Duck Dynasty folks are a great example of that. Again, it is possible to believe homosexual acts are a sin while not hating them. I don't see you accusing all Christians of hating everyone who has sex before marriage. It is true that some Christians do display the hatred you speak of, and in those cases it is sad they're not acting in a Christ-like manner. But it doesn't happen as often as people claim. If you can't differentiate between having a belief about what is a sin and actual hate towards a group of people, that is really your own problem and not whatever Christians you're railing against. That might be part of the real reason you find yourself getting banned from other discussion forums. p.s. I'm busy for the rest of the day, so you can consider this Max's HOT TAKE of the Day.

Yeah, my favorite episode is the one where Phil talked about how he hates gays and wishes he could kill them all... Seems to me the only ones hating people that are different are the people who hate Duck Dynasty because they're Christians.

Let's face it, for as lightweight of a show that Duck Dynasty is, it still has more worthwhile content in there than 99% of the junk that is on TV. Some of us just don't understand the cultural significance of watching zombies kill everyone (Walking Dead), or medieval kings having sex with their sisters (Game of Thrones/Riderville).

For just the Bombers this year: When getting more rushing yards thier record is: 2-0 When losing the rushing yardage battle: 3-1

That doesn't even look like camo on that picture. It just looks... even more ridiculous than I'd imagined. But it's just a pin at this point, we'll see what the real result is. And I find Duck Dynasty funny and I'm not ashamed to say it. It's not supposed to be high-end cultural cinema, it's supposed to just be an entertaining 30 minutes.

Or did Sheets have a great year because Durant had his best year???!?!?!

Whether or not Kuale is guilty, this guy clearly needs to get a life. "this football player did something offensive in front of a few adults and a couple children! And I don't want anyone to be exposed to such lewdness so I'm going to talk about it for a week straight, describing it over and over in detail to as many people that will listen!"

You bring up a good point... anything that bothers the type of people that get all worked up about "evil fundamentalist religion" and "American-style militarism" invading football is fine by me. Bring on the camo jerseys! If I have to put up with seeing players be publicly torn apart for making the most mild of comments against whatever big gay story is out there, then maybe the other side can handle a little bit of camo and religion (not that there's anything inherently "religious" about supporting the military)

I more or less agree with you actually. If you have an actual incompetent running game, it puts you behind the 8-ball. But even in Winnipeg recently we haven't seen that. Maybe in the super short Bloi Dei Dorzon era.

That article makes no mention of anything "retro". It's all about "bold new", "innovative", etc. Which in sports jersey terms usually means terrible. A camo military-themed look might actually be the best we can hope for considering the ridiculous crap the CFL seems to come up with. (BC Lions black unis last year, funny bibs on Stampeder jerseys)
