Fatty Liver

Wonder which coach told Penton the following.. We are scrambling to find Canadians in July. We are starting Canadians who aren't good enough, but there's nobody left. A couple of our backups shouldn't even be playing pro football. With three months left, all of us will have more Canadian injuries. The ratio is killing the quality of our game, not the rules. I can't coach a good product when we have too many bad football players on our 44 man roster. What the hell are we going to do in September and October? I'm hearing the same thing from other coaches. The other commissioner (Mark Cohon) screwed us big time when he didn't fight to change the ratio when Ottawa came back ...

I think we should stop starting 2 Canadian receivers and start 4 International Moore, Denmark, Adams and Veltung plus 2 big backs with Marshall and Scott will make Willy's job a lot easier. 1 big back is plenty. I don't know why you have taken a dislike to Paris Cotton but he's still a good runningback. Very explosive and very dangerous. When paired with a guy like Marshall you have the potential for a pretty dynamic running game. Since his good game on the first week, he's been regressing. I am a fan of Cotton, but if it doesn't work (now) a change has to be made. Look at the Pat Neufeld change it made a difference to the game last night. Bull dung. The Bombers have two excellent RB's, they just need to figure out how to juggle them to achieve the greatest result. It's still early on and Cotton will have games were he excels so I don't think we've seen the last of his 100 yd. performances.

Was just going to post that the head first dives were to keep opponents from landing on his knee. It was intentional. I was screaming at Schultz for being a moron yet again when he was bitching about Willy not hook sliding.... Yeah but he rarely ever slides. That, and what if he gets cracked in the head or something worse. I think he was thinking that the D isn't supposed to hit the QB when you slide, so it's always better to slide. But life doesn't always work perfectly, and it's true, they may have gone after his knee and sacrificed a penalty. I'd hope none of them would intentionally do that, but people are stupid and you never know when one of them is going to go full ***** on you. Let's just hope Willy running was the Bombers "trick play" for this game and that they don't rely on it as much against Hamilton. When ever anyone mentions QB and warrior in the same sentence I have visions of Buck and his sad fate.

Lot's of interesting tidbits from Penton from around the CFL. http://www.torontosun.com/2015/07/28/cfl-blitz-early-attendance-woes-should-ring-alarm-bells Formatting is bad but here are some excerpts. CFL coaches and managers give their anonymous thoughts on what they're talking about behind closed doors: Want to protect quarterbacks? Change the ratio ... What's wrong with Saskatchewan's defence? Bad players. Hamilton should have scored 40 on them. We play the Riders next month, and scoring on them will be like stealing candy. I wouldn't want more than two guys they are starting on defence ... Matt Dunigan understands how the game is played. Quarterbacks have a feel for the game. They see it different than guys like me who didn't play that position. He's TSN's best guy ... I don't think either of the Grey Cup teams (Calgary and Hamilton) are playing that good. Right now, Edmonton is the best team in our league ... As coaches we all think too many penalties hurt the game. But it's bull(bleep) what Toronto gets away with. After half their catches they spin the ball. They should be flagged for delay of game 10 times a game, but the refs let them get away with it week after week ... Winnipeg is easy to defend because they don't have enough speed. Their team speed on offence is like it was back when I played ... We were looking at film of the Eskimos. (Shakir) Bell may be better than the little guy that got hurt (John White.) When I heard Chris Jones found him, I wasn't surprised. Nobody outworks that guy ... I'm starting to worry a little about the possibility of an Eastern crossover. We (in the West) might not have three teams with nine wins ... We are scrambling to find Canadians in July. We are starting Canadians who aren't good enough, but there's nobody left. A couple of our backups shouldn't even be playing pro football. With three months left, all of us will have more Canadian injuries. The ratio is killing the quality of our game, not the rules. I can't coach a good product when we have too many bad football players on our 44 man roster. What the hell are we going to do in September and October? I'm hearing the same thing from other coaches. The other commissioner (Mark Cohon) screwed us big time when he didn't fight to change the ratio when Ottawa came back ... The biggest reason why the RedBlacks have already won more games than last year is because they've been able to make plays at crucial times. That wasn't the case last year ... The Bombers should go with Brian Brohm if (Drew) Willy can't go. Everyone needs to trust that (Mike) O'Shea knows what he's doing ... The Argos are a solid team and as good as they look. Forget Edmonton. They are the best team in the league right now ... If I was in charge of the Riders I would be more aggressive. Give the players back some confidence by letting them play and not worry so much ... The three main reasons I hear why the Stampeders aren't playing up to par are complacency, injuries or they're just not that good. The reason why they don't look good right now is complacency ... Who's the best referee in the league? Whichever crew is on the bye week ... Going with Matt Nichols is the right move for the Eskimos. You gotta go with the more experienced guy ... If I had to pick one left tackle to go with, (Josh) Bourke still has to be the guy. He playing well, and he's Canadian. That gives him a big edge over any American ... Any Canadians that can contribute are on a roster or a practice roster. The free agent list is quite short in season, as it was last year. Those who bring up changing the ratio are not realists and simply haven't figured out you need to draft and develop Canadians to adapt and adjust to your ratio issues ... I have narrowed my most underrated CFL player list to three: Deon Lacey, Simoni Lawrence or Deron Mayo ... The Argos know how to win close games, so until I see the Ticats do the same I have to give the Argos the edge on Monday night.

Have to hand it to the crowd, they drove Lulay bonkers tonight.

Re-watch the last play of the game when Arceneaux tried to smash Johnny Adams's head into the ground. I know he played. It was just my way of saying he was invisible Invisible but visibly upset.

Hope Bass and Waggoner's injuries are not serious.

Great game, every player earned their keep and a few exceeded expectations. Excellent victory, no luck, no fluke.

Harris was the only thing Lulay had going tonight.

Has anyone ever figured out exactly what the Bombers ended up paying the Ti-Cats for Brohm? Didn't they give us one of their neg list guys? 4th round draft pick in 2015 - Ron Omara LB Has anyone ever figured out exactly what the Bombers ended up paying the Ti-Cats for Brohm? Didn't they give us one of their neg list guys? 4th round draft pick in 2015 - Ron Omara LB Thank you for doing my homework.

No stream on http://www.reddit.com/r/cfl for tonight's game! Anyone have any links? Found one! http://www.gofeed2all.eu/watch/359646/1/watch-winnipeg-blue-bombers-vs-bc-lions.html

bump time.

Edmonton Eskimo Eddie Steele was fined for a low hit on Winnipeg Blue Bomber Drew Willy. http://www.cfl.ca/article/banks-among-players-fined-from-week-5-action

Again, it comes down in almost every case that the person disobeys the officers orders and decides to fight or flee instead of cooperating. If the Police do not do anything to restrict this response than the word on the street would be out in no time that a sure way to evade the law is to run. Not to say that the killing is justified at all but the Police can't be expected to not react when a person disobeys their orders. Some background on the victim. DuBose has been charged with driving without a license more than 13 times between 1995 and 2009, according to court records obtained by Cincinnati’s Fox 19. He has also been charged with driving while suspended eight times from 2005 and 2011 and with failure to display a proper a proper license plate on his vehicle four times between 1995 and 2009. Dubose had more than 75 offenses charged to him over his lifetime.

I see the sheep know well what game "lonely" llama wants to play.

Not a gif but well done none the less. http://www.bluebombers.com/video/index

They brought back Keith Price a couple of weeks ago and have him on the PR. Edit: Just noticed the Riders have 12 men on their PR. I thought the limit was 10?

Mark, she was in jail for resisting arrest. She stayed in jail because no one came forward to post a $5,000 bond for her release. In the end this probably played a bigger role in her decision to commit suicide than the actual arrest. If someone would have posted bail she could have been out within the day.

It does seem that way but unfortunately once you start digging into U.S. history you soon come to realize the strands of insanity go back a long, long way. The idea that the U.S. is a beacon of democracy and equality is an absolute myth as it is specifically orientated to prevent these qualities from flourishing. Their political system although full of good intentions was grown from a rancid seed right from the beginning. The U.S.'s system of competitive capitalism was mainly built on unmoderated exploitation of resources and cheap labour, with a "king of the hill" mentality for the winners and mere crumbs for the losers. The winners immediately seized this advantage to perpetuate their power and control by entrenching this advantage in the cloak of political corruption that steers their government to this day. Nothing tepid about their soup as the U.S. has been a crucible of creativity and innovation that has revolutionized life on this planet for better and for worse. Love it or lump it the U.S. is what it is because it got that way.

Self inflicted long term death - just another first world problem. Nothing scary about death by marshmallow.

I don't know that the Willy injury against Edm was an "obvious penalty"... but I did point out during the game that Jake Thomas got called for a penalty that was essentially the same type of play... hit the qb low it's supposed to be a flag and he was obviously hit low. Very obvious to everyone but the refs. During the game, Dunigan mentioned that a fine was likely coming, and MOS wouldn't give his thoughts on the hit because he didn't want to get in trouble with the league so I'm surprised we haven't heard of any punishment for Eddie Steele. The CFL needs to crack down on these incidents. I would suggest Eddie Steele be stripped of his uniform, transported 800 miles Eastward and incarcerated in the "IGF House of Blues" for the remainder of his natural playing career. There he will be fitted in blue and gold, chained to those of his ilk and serve out his sentence in hard pursuit of opposition QB's. Case dismissed!

Maybe the rational posters to a degree yes.. But there is ample reasons listed as to why this is.. I'll reinerate again tho.. -marve hurt -brohm is more experienced -brohm is more of a pocket passer These are the 3 that stand out to me as why brohm is ahead of marve at this point.. - when Marve was not hurt....Marve was outperforming Brohm. Once again, I'm going to ask the question, when? When has Marve outperformed Brohm? In practice? In preseason? It's comments like this that make me want to lose it on people. Practice and preseason mean almost nothing. Again, I'm not saying Brohm doesn't suck, or that I don't want Marve to play. I want Marve to play, and I hope he succeeds. But we haven't seen anything from him to say he is better then Brohm yet. The rest of your comments I agree with. Last season? BROHM, B 2014 WPG 39 70 55.7 454 54 0 0 1 1.43 69.6 MARVE, R 2014 WPG 11 22 50 140 42 1 4.6 0 85.4 So you're telling me that you can tell by these stats, that Marve outperformed Brohm last season? Really? Looks pretty similar to me, other then Marve running a lot more then Brohm. With this little amount of playing time behind Marve, we can't really judge if he's better then Brohm. Again, I hope he is if he ever gets to play because I'm tired of watching Brohm. But you have no proof yet. Every time I hear people say "WE NEED TO START MARVE, HE'S BETTER THEN BROHM", all I keep hear is the past few years bouncing back..."we need to play Brink, he's better then Buck", "we need to play Elliott, he's better then Brink", "we need to play Goltz, he's better then Buck/Elliott", etc... And when they got to play what did we hear from the same people who were screaming and yelling to have them play? "Get rid of Brink/Elliott/Goltz...he sucks!". Please tell us that you went back and re-watched the two games that Marve participated in last year and that you're not just staring blankly at a sheet of numbers? The reality is that Marve "out performed" both Willy and Brohm in those games in that he made positive things happen, moved the ball, caused no turn-overs and was able to score points when the others could not. This does not mean that he is necessarily a better QB than either Willy or Brohm but under Marcel's scripted system they were not finding a way to win those games and their health was being put in serious jeopardy by sitting in a poorly protected pocket. The object of the game is to find a way to win, not just conform to a failing model that perpetuates losses. Remember at the time of Marve's appearances the Bombers were mired in a half season losing skid which he ended. Sometimes you just have to break the mold and start fresh.

All of this time I thought you were a qualified expert with all the stuff you come up with for "Odds and Sods" and now I find out it was just the gin lubricating your keyboard. That's as good a reason as any to endorse gin, I guess.
