Can you post a YouTube video of that in here?

Grigsby.

Yep that was me . O'Shea really defended Grigsby and his pass protection.

@friesensunmedia: #Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea says starting safety Maurice Leggett is questionable (ankle) for Friday in Mtl. D. Alexander an option.

@BobIrvingCJOB: Cordaro Howard getting nearly all the first team reps--pencil him in at left guard for the bombers in Montreal

Is it really that easy? No. They will have this thing called a programming schedule, and while TSN might have no problems switching some scheduling around to accommodate the CFL, ESPN will have no interest in doing any shuffling to accommodate the CFL. They would sooner stick a nascar re-run in the time slot and not care in the slightest that they didn't air a CFL game that day. Actually...yes. My proposal does not require and program shuffling from ESPN.

Wasn't it the Alouettes who just released him? Could be that the Als didn't want to guarantee his contract for the season.

@ArashMadani: Messam will likely spend this week on the #Riders practice roster while learning George Cortez's offence. Has to pass a physical today. #CFL @ArashMadani: Saskatchewan was not the only team interested in Messam over the past few days. Per sources: both Stamps and Alouettes kicked tires. #CFL

@ArashMadani: BREAKING: Have learned Jerome Messam, the former #CFL top Canadian (2011), will sign with Saskatchewan. A #Riders need w/ Neal Hughes hurt.

Did you see this: @CFL_News: By the way, the #CFL has changed their criteria from head shots being soley to the head to being above the shoulder. Thus the Willis fine. .

These make a bit more sense: http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/football/opinion/2014/07/cfl-power-rankings-week-2-2.html.

Switch the Argos at Als game from Friday August 1 to Thursday July 31 and problem solved. ESPN can broadcast that game. Both have a 6pm EST start time.

The problem with that scenario is we'd play the Banjo Bowl September 7, then not have another game at home until October 18. That'd be 4 away games in a row with a bye mixed in.

Aside from winning the game, keeping Willy healthy is the number one priority every game.

A one game suspension means a player loses a full game check. Maximum fine is a half game check.

@CFL_News: By the way, the #CFL has changed their criteria from head shots being soley to the head to being above the shoulder. Thus the Willis fine.

This really doesn't impress me.

Gotta protect the QBs.

@PentonKirk: #RedBlacks defensive back Jerrell Gavins fined max amount for his cheap, low hit on #Bombers QB Drew Willy.

@scratchingpost: #Esks DE Odell Willis fined by #CFL for hit on #Ticats QB @ZCollaros7 "evidence of contact to the neck area." @scratchingpost: #CFL also says that #Esks Willis should have been flagged for the hit on #Ticats QB @ZCollaros7

Looks like McMaster can hold 12,000 people if they erect the temporary seating. How many season tickets have the Ticats sold?

Is Coleman a Canadian?

"Blue balls" anyone?

Jim Toth made a comment the other day that got me thinking about the Winnipeg media and why they consider themselves as expert. Jim Toth said, after a Bomber win, "This Bomber win came as a shock because all of us in the media discussed earlier in the week and had the Bomber getting blown out this week". Looking at the media, I doubt any of them have played any serious sports; none of them look like athletes. They all are likely education in communications, maybe an English degree A few days before the season started, I called into CJOB on one of their "panel nights" with Penton, Toth, and I think Bob Irving was on too. I said I thought the Bombers win 8 games and make the playoffs in a crossover and Toth and Penton basically laughed at me. Toth comes across as quite arrogant sometimes, like a "know it all". When I see him at Bomber practice he's always socializing with the other media, not even paying attention to what's going on. One practice I was at last year, Buck Pierce threw a total of one pass, and Toth sends out a tweet that "Buck is looking great at practice today", because he interrupted his socializing and glanced over to see Buck complete a pass. Another example is last year, the day before the Banjo Bowl, the Bombers had an open house for fans at IGF with festivities, free lunch etc. Paul Wicek was there and tweeted, "there's a disturbing number of Rider jerseys at IGF today". I replied to his tweet and said, "I'm here right now and I count a total of 4 Rider jerseys...you find that disturbing?" Wicek then blocked me for that. He's just trying to create a story by reporting false information. I called him on it, but he doesn't want to hear it. My question is why do the Winnipeg media who follow the Bombers consider themselves to be "experts"? Some consider themselves as the authority. Sure they follow the Bombers and report on Bomber related news, but what makes their opinions more valuable than anyone else? I'm starting to put less and less weight on what the media says, and more weight on what some of the more credible posters have to say on forums like these.

@HerbZurkowsky1: #Als' receiver Duron Carter remains sidelined with an ankle injury. Not participating today.
