Fatty Liver

Hopefully Walters turns up in Hamilton this week and gets some face time with media to clarify his situation.

I think you're right, didn't Duke get involved in an incident before that game when he swung his helmet at someone?

LOL I almost feel sorry for Dickenson, he had no idea what was going on. "The boys seem to be having fun out there!"

According to one member of Riderfans, Marshall was a full fledged Crip gang member with a NWA tattoo on his neck. I do recall some talk about him flashing gang hand signs at Duke Williams in the TD Atlantic game in 2022, the same incident when Williams "allegedly" spat on him. No surprise if Williams turns out to be a Blood I suppose.

Voting was completed by last Weds.

Disturbed they couldn't score when they were 1st and 10 at the Lions 3, that was critical "throat steppin time" and they failed to execute. The Als saw how the Lions shut down the running game and will duplicate with a stronger front 7, I would hope they leave Zach in until they're at the 1 yd. line next time, giving them more options than a Prukop or Brady run.

I'll be in Toronto, so Chad Kelly's liver, he won't be needing it. I should probably invite Bluto....

May or may not be significant, but according to CFL.ca transactions Rose has been moved to PR and not the 1 game IR along with Haba, whereas McGhee and Garbutt have been moved to the 1 game IR. This could just be a way to get a couple of PR players game day cheques, or it may be an indication that decisions have been made on who they want to bring back next season, as all PR players at the end of season become free agents.

....or one, or maybe both have had a little bit too much to drink...

Can't really prepare for extreme noise effectively unless they practice in the Dome, as the practice field in Surrey is located in a residential neighbourhood.

Here is the restaurant he's involved with, I think it's on the Red Mile. https://porchyyc.com/

It was Claybrooks decision to step away from the CFL, he took the payout from the Lions and went into business for himself, I believe he's invested in a restaurant and a cleaning business in Calgary.

Can you imagine how boring that job would be compared to what he's doing now? Plus the budget would be miniscule, scouting and facilities inadequate and the bureaucracy and paperwork mind numbing. He's got what every GM craves, security within a winning organization plus the chance to become the longest serving GM in Bomber history.

I half expect him to be ready to return sometime next August....along with Mike Miller.

Don't see it happening, Wade knows what's best for the team and allowing Walters to walk away isn't something he would take as inevitable because of salary constraints. He'll retain him even if he has to use curvy math and manilla envelopes to make it work.

Uncanny resemblance, one is a sexual predator, the other Dracula.

I agree they should have given Bo the start and let him know early in the week they were doing so to get the best out of him, throwing him into a game that's already over isn't going to lead to a heroic performance when he's stewing on the sidelines feeling he's wasting his time. Schiltz is also much better coming off the bench because it takes the pressure off him as a starter. I get that Steinauer is a nice guy, but I don't think he brings the fear factor or respect a coach like O'Shea carries, he's too diplomatic and wants to be liked by everyone.

I don't know if this is Steinauer's year end review, but from the sound of it he's not going anywhere and neither is BLM.

Lions O-line is not that good, if you re-watch the week 18 contest the Bomber D-line dominated them.

Chicken or the egg scenario, the Stamps need a reboot regardless.

I think Huff is also the teams only conduit to Murray Edwards the Stamps absentee owner, who doesn't want to spend an extra nickel and probably doesn't even watch the games.

A big difference between Walters and Huff is Walters embraced the increasing importance of F.A., mainly because he had to with the state of the franchise at the time and the rise of one year contracts. Whereas Huff shunned F.A. in the belief that recruiting and raising his own was the only proper way to build a team. This also meant many of Huff's recruits left early in their careers to earn more money elsewhere, which is evident in the number of Stamp recruits scattered around the league playing on other teams. Imagine where the the Bombers would be without the F.A. signings of Bryant, Randle, Harris, Jefferson and Bighill? Those signings formed the foundation of Walters dynasty. Time passed Huff by and his stubbornness to adapt or pay better wages to retain recruits has left the Stamps near the bottom of the league.

Weather conditions next weekend should be pretty similar to the 2019 GC game played in Calgary on Nov. 22/2019 with a high of -2C, Zach played pretty well in that game.
