  1. Better add Lulay back to the list, apparently he's not done yet.
  2. Teague Sherman? He's from Edmonton but played for the Bisons. Teague Sherman? He's from Edmonton but played for the Bisons. He's forgiven, babies often make mistakes.
  3. BC looking like they might be the best team in the West. Who knew???
  4. I don't know where he's actually from but he did go to the UofM.
  5. Bombers need to lure Eddie Steele away from Edm.
  6. They did lose. Ran out of horse-shoes one game late.
  7. Blown opportunity by the RB coaches not challenging that catch.
  8. Another fuddled call by the refs. on the two pt. conversion. How can it be called a dead ball?
  9. RB's are hanging in there but receiving corps. is inconsistent at best.
  10. Two pt. conversions are proving to be viable in this game. Attn. Mike O'Shea.
  11. Just another example of an encounter that was escalated by both parties for no good reason or result. It's shouldn't be "News of the World" that nobody likes being stopped by the police but when it happens all one has to do is exactly what they ask and the encounter is over and done with in a flash. In this case the woman decided to protest and traded a warning ticket for her life.
  12. Tyler is decent but this is a bad game to be working out the rust.
  13. Very happy the marketing dept. is finally providing access to this type of material. Kudos, kudos, kudos and please Sir, may I have some more!
  14. From O'Shea's press conference yesterday he mentioned the reason they went with Brohm over Marve on short-yardage was because Marve was knicked up. Controversy over.
  15. Can't really agree with that. The talent level in Saskatchewan is REALLY low right now. Riders have pretty much the number one offence in the league in most categories, can you explain how the talent level is low? There are 44 active members on game day. Offence is only 12 of them. Your defence is an abomination, and your STs and depth are not far behind. Hence...the talent level is low. I will agree that your starting talent on offence seems to be clicking right now, and I will even go so far as to say your defence has some talent as well but has way too many guys who are not CFL calibre being forced in due to ratio and poor recruitment. Too many scrubs to overcome.However, I earnestly believe that the D talent does not fit the scheme and that your secondary is poorly suited to the changes in the game. The Riders were a very physical secondary over the past few years and were built to be so, it just doesn't fit with the new rules. It's happening in other places too. Players that were once all star calibre secondary players but relied on physicality to do so are now being exposed. Unfortunately for the Riders...that's your entire secondary in a nutshell. Your LBs are some weak sauce, with or without Emry, and your ratio problems are forcing you to play scrubs on the DL that are creating zero push and not collapsing the pocket for Chick and Hall. Chamblin seems to be taking big time heat for this defence, and it does fall on him to find answers, but realistically Taman never put a defensive group of players on the field that is good enough. I will freely admit that your offence is playing lights out right now. It's the only reason the RIders haven't been getting completely blown out thus far. There are some deep systemic problems that are rearing there ugly heads right now, right from the GMs office on down, and the offence has been the lipstick on the pig. This gets worse before it gets better. I know...I watched this movie over and over again through the 2000's. Not to worry though, I am sure O'Day and Lapo will do their best to start a rebuild next year. ....that and a horrendous number of injuries to starters.
  16. From my experience a hooker emporium would have been a much better investment. patron, proprietor, or employee? As always, start at the bottom work your way up!
  17. Leif would always be paired up with Pinky Marsden on CTV for the Eastern games, while Frank Rigney and Dale Isaac did the Western games, with legendary Al McCann on the sidelines, whose biggest fear was getting out of the way of the horse in Calgary who had a penchant for running him over. I still say that while Don Wittman was probably the best play by play guy, I really liked Frank Rigney as a colour guy. What is it with ex-Bomber players going into broadcasting? How could you forget the great Johnny Esaw! He was pretty awful.
