Suck my toe.

Funny...I suggested Cauchy and a draft pick for Glenn a while ago and got laughed at on here.

Maybe Lewis could play middle linebacker for us.

Nipples I can understand. Those are funny!!

From the Feb 27 Calgary Sun:
It’s been more than three months since the Saskatchewan Roughriders battled the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2013 Grey Cup.
The battle that takes place over the next three months, however, will be just as important.
With the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire the day before training camps open in May, the CFLPA and CFL owners are set to begin negotiations in earnest March 6-7 at the Delta Calgary Airport Hotel.
The two sides exchanged initial proposals earlier this month.
“I don’t think it was pleasing to anyone,” said CFL veteran Keon Raymond, who is one of two Calgary Stampeders player reps, along with fullback Rob Cote.
When the two sides meet face to face next week, Raymond is expecting opinions to be aired.
“I think we expect it to be a little rowdy,” Raymond said.
“(The owners) are going to come with a lot of minimal, but it’s the beginning of the negotiations, and when you have a lot of money on the line and guys fighting for something, it’s going to be tough.
“We definitely have to stick together and be unified as one.”
The most contentious issue will be how the monetary pie is divvied up, as it’s expected the CFLPA will want to see the league’s $4.4-million salary cap increase significantly.
A new five-year TV rights deal with TSN and RDS worth a reported $43-million was signed last year, which is worth approximately 21/2 times more than the previous deal and is expected to more than double what CFL franchises pull in on the TV side to $4.3 million.
“It factors in a ton, knowing it’s almost two or three times more than what it was the last time,” Raymond said.
“We feel like the league is doing a great job and, obviously, there’s no league without the players, but the fans are the most important thing, as well. This is entertainment, and I think we’ve given them a great product to put on the field.
“You definitely want to be compensated for the things that you put your body into.
“I don’t know if the owners really understand the type of physical punishment we put our bodies through.”
New stadiums and increasing viewership and interest in the CFL around the country have the players asking, what about us?
“It just kind of seems like everybody is kind of reaping the benefits except for the guys that are putting in the work,” Raymond said.
The last time around, a new CBA was signed on the final day before training camps opened in 2010.
“We have a great amount of respect between our two organizations,” CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said at the annual state of the league address during Grey Cup in Regina back in November.
“We have a good working relationship, we’re very transparent in terms of them understanding our businesses, our challenges, the opportunities ... We must remain prudent and smart about our business.”

Not surprised considering Boatman was making $400 000 last season

I miss the construction cam at IGF. Too bad they couldn't have permanently mounted it just so when fans are in the mood they can click on & look at the stadium.... 

Good to know.

Every time he tweets out OLLY OLLY OXENFREEEEEEEEEE I assume he's on bath salts.

I doubt anyone would trade for him at this point, given he is coming of a serious ACL injury.

Burris must be sh*tting himself looking at the group of WRs he'll be throwing to.

The Nick Moore signing is looking a lot better now.

That is correct.  Robertson says his recovery is going well and he expects to be in Bomber training camp this year.

That guy is on some serious 'supplements'. 

I am extremely happy with Kyle Walters as our GM.  I really like how he thinks outside the box and got early rights to Willy and Randle without really giving up anything.  By doing that he ensured he got the guys he wanted without getting into a bidding war.  He may have overpaid a little for Moore, but likely saved money by getting Willy and Randle's rights early, before they hit the market.  Seems like he also tampered by having Newman signed 9 minutes into free agency; another nice veteran move.

We should have offered Bourke $250,000 though.

Simpson has chronic foot problems, plus he gave up on the team last season. I doubt we ever see him back.

And with the amount of time Jovon spends on Twitter, I guarantee he has a smartphone.

@PentonKirk: Farhan Lalji says Nick Moore has agreed to terms with #Bombers. The end of Terrence Edwards in Winnipeg?

Why would we want Swayze Waters?  First he's an import kicker.  Second, he hit 72% of his FG's last year, 74% in 2012, and he plays in a dome for half his games.  Third, we just re-signed Mike Renaud to handle punting duties.  Fourth we have Liri Hirahaluah who I am sure can hit at least 72% of his FGs. 
 
Not saying it won't happen, but I would find it very, very puzzling.
