The problem though as some argue is it doesn't matter if the cap goes up, some organizations won't have the money to spend more anyways turning them into/keeping them as 'have not organizations' to paraphrase the Calgary Flames organization.

I hear what you're saying but not starting him could have the same effect that you are trying to protect him from.

Fair enough and I agree with you about earned but in this specific scenario I think it's wise to start him, give him one mulligan.

Really, we've given up on Mason already? If I was the coach which I'm not, I'd start Mason and tell him show me that was an anomaly.

I was at the game and he was really favoring his right (I think but could have been his left) arm. And he was testing it out on the sidelines for strength it seems . So I don't know if that suggests shoulder, forearm other? One could argue he's the best player on this team so hopefully pulling him from the game quite early was precautionary thinking big picture, i.e rather risk losing to Edmonton than risk losing Mo long term. Just saw the posts above, so all is good.

Apparently he's the next coming of Wayne Gretzky. Everyday it seems I see a headline: Is Matthews a God? Discuss.

A Eskiblow friend texted me during the game after Medlock missed yet another one. He asked: 'What's wrong with your kicker?" I replied: 'What's wrong with yours?' :-) I've been to the Bomber game in Edmonton 13 years in a row since I moved here and this is the most Bomber fans I've seen in the stands. Bandwagon jumpers . . . :-)

Going to the game. Look for me, I'll be the guy in Blue and Gold. Maybe we're due for a defensive gem? Go Blue!

We should have a groan emoticon.

That and Loffler staying healthy so Jones doesn't see the field at safety. He's been horrendous imho.

I'm wondering if management, coaches and/or players have tried to entice him to come back with the latest development of injury or has that shipped sailed once he asked for his release?

Damn, I picked him in my amateur draft. I'm too lazy to check, does anyone know off the top of their head what are the experts saying in how close he is to playing in the NHL?

Yes he's called Alex Singleton. The guy's a beast.

I'd add Elliotts spin ball move after making a first down. Dunnigan's reaction to that was priceless. He said something to the effect of dude you moved the chains, you didn't just win the Grey Cup.

He being Thorpe? If so, wrong in what sense?

Nice gesture on the Bombers part to wear that young man's initials on their helmets. Well done. Shout out to our line that continues to give Nichols the necessary steamboats for certain plays to work. A lot of Nichols success is due to that line of his. I hope he is treating them well.

A suspension and fine imo is an appropriate consequence for his actions. I say 3 games plus maximum fine. That might expedite his idea of altering his tackling technique.

A suspension is a public flogging?

On TSN, he states he is going to change the way he tackles. Wow. Why was he not suspended? Wouldn't this be a good scenario for the new (er) CFL commish to make a statement?

If that's what happens, I don't see that as ugly if they play to their potential. That combo has the makings to be a pretty decent fourth line.

Thanks for the update. Some would call that move blackmail where others would call that move good business.

I haven't been following this story so maybe this has already happened but is the next move for ownership to say we're pulling the Flames out of Calgary if the City doesn't ante up more?

It matters only in the sense of grading out bubble players and to get the team into game mode for the start of the season.

Now that's funny.

I think you underestimate the qualities needed for a CFL receiver.
