Fatty Liver

It's almost like Marve knew he shouldn't sign a contract extension because he knew his style's wrong for our HC. That's a good point but I think it's more likely that Marcel doesn't know what to do with Marve. It's analogous to a trainer having to work with a wild mustang when he's more comfortable working with thoroughbreds. Could be a control issue of "who's the boss" in that on a designated play a certain receiver is "supposed" to get the ball, were Marve''s game is more suited to "there's an open receiver, here's the ball" or often, "there's room to run, bye-bye". Marve plays in the moment so he will be difficult to program but much like Flutie and Collaros that is probably the way he has always found success in football. Unless a head-coach or O.C. has complete trust in this type of QB to succeed, there is going to be a fair bit of head-butting going on. This is pretty much what happened to Flutie in Buffalo when they kept trying to over-ride his on-field success by replacing him with the more programmable Rob Johnson. Coach's prefer to work with predictable systems although football is an inherently chaotic game.

In most cases you will find that poor people reside in areas where the earth is also poor. The kings of Saudi Arabia were nomads that lived in tents before the discovery of oil. In Canada we are incredibly lucky to have a small population and vast natural resources to exploit.

No, you got that right but don't know if that was the reason he was cut. Probably just got beat out by someone with more versatility. Would be a great temp. fill in for Stoudermire but nothing more.

With the addition of Jamel Richardson all 5 of the Riders receivers are 30+....tick, tick, tick....KABOOM!

Darrell Romuld (CTV) @CTVDarrell Riders GM Brendan Taman says Alex Pierzchalski was offered a Practice Roster spot but declined; wishes him luck.

If true, that would be weak sauce on MB's part. One of the most effective backup situations, is when the #2 can throw defenses, a change up. If Marcel could or would not "change a lot of things" simply because of different styles of QB (which many other teams have handled in the past)........then we need another OC, here. Just because Marve is "#3" doesn't mean he can't come into games as a change of pace QB. I think we will see Marve more this season than the last. Unless O'Shea has changed his mindset from last year the only way #3 gets game time is if #1 and #2 are knocked out. I don't see an indication that O'Shea has advanced his strategic thinking on this so I expect we will see the same plan this year.

Not a chance the Riders are letting that guy get away. Even if they handle their PR a little differently the message is the same, "hands off".

Kackert? I thought he gave it up last year.

Ti-Cats finally announced there cuts this morning. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats made announced their cuts Sunday morning but the most critical news for them could be those they placed on the injured list. Released: DB Nick Brassell, LB Serderius Bryant, DL - Sean Daniels, WR Daniel English, WR Seydou Junior Haidara, DE Paul Hazel, FB Preston Huggins, DB Antoine Lewis, DL Martin Pesek, DB Julian Posey, OL Carson Rockhill, DE Sam Scott Practice Roster: WR Jasper Collins Jr., DL Everett Ellefson, DB Bobby Felder, RB Michael Ford, RB Ray Holley, DL Stephen Mawa, LB Dan Molls, WR Tim Smith, DB Donald Washington, DL Everton Williams One-Game Injured Lists: WR Giovanni Aprile, DB David Caldwell, OL Joel Figueroa, RB CJ Gable, QB Jeremiah Masoli, WR Quincy McDuffie, DB Rico Murray, OL Landon Rice, WR Luke Tasker, DL Adrian Tracy, RB Anthony Woodson Six-Game Injured List: DE Anotnio Coleman, DL Evan Gill, DB Kyle Miller

The Bombers have laid some pretty big eggs at IGF, must drive Miller crazy.

I would guess there's some kind of insurance payments to cover this but it's probably not much.

He's expected to land on the Riders PR. Riders announcing their PR early this week. I imagine it's an unwritten rule not to pick off a player between being cut and being placed on the PR?

Esk. cuts, Goltz is gone again. The Edmonton Eskimos released a veteran offensive lineman in Brian Ramsay and added another one, Simeon Rottier, to the six-game injued list. Rleased: WR Denarius Appling, QB Justin Goltz, WR Paris Jackson, LB Nathan Kanya, LB Dawud Lane, DB Jestin Love, P/K Zackary Medeiros, WR Bryant Mitchell, OL Brian Ramsay DB Kacy Rodgers, DB Marte Sears Practice Roster: WR/KR Anthony Barrett, RB Shakir Bell, OL Thaddaeus Coleman, QB James Franklin, CB Raye Hartmann, WR Andrew Johnson, DT Cedric McKinley, DB John Ojo,LB Keith Reynolds, WR Derel Walker One-Game Injured List: DT Gregory Alexandre, WR Wallace Miles, OL Greg Wojt Six-Game Injured List: WR Shamawd Chambers, RB Aaron Milton, OL Simeon Rottier, RB John White

Then we should bring him in for at least a cup of coffee and a number 2. Have to make room for him, not a good day for finding that.

I see both Normand and Lattanzio are currently listed on the PR.

Toston is available if the Bombers are not satisfied with Cameron Marshall. Edit: Oops did not realize there is more than one Thigpen.

I think this season the Bombers will maintain the status quo at QB, Willy, Brohm, Marve because that's what Marcel and Mike decided in the off-season. The Bombers had an opportunity to divest themselves of Brohm in the off-season and yet they actively pursued him. If Portis doesn't accept another year on the PR he will be gone and maybe Yantz can fill that position while they search for the "next up". If Willy is the designated starter for the next 4-6 years many QB's will come and go during that time, including the 3 current wannabees. Getting excited about the future prospects of the underlings as more than temp. fill ins is rather pointless as long as the Bombers are heavily invested in Willy, both Marcel's and O'Shea's careers are riding on his back.

Wrong on both counts. Whenever Durant was not behind center, Lapolice's play calling stunk to high heaven and was unwatchable. Unacceptable on all counts and if he was as good as people say he is, every single one of those 7 other teams would've been pounding on his door and blowing up his phone telling him he has a job as coach or OC after he got fired here. That didn't happen and for good reason. And trust me there were way more long balls thrown by our offense last year on 2nd and long than there had been in a while. It was sometimes good, sometimes not good, sometimes Willy did need to check it down instead of trying for a home run like he did in the Banjo Bowl, or against BC in that final game last year. But all in all, at least I can say this offense wasn't playing not to lose like that f***ing clown Lapo tried to instill here. I believe LaPo has turned down a few OC jobs as he only wants to be a HC.

Anyone have a link to video highlights of the game? Again TSN presents a 47 second highlight package that shows one play by the Bombers, the Denmark reception and nothing more.

Has Brohm ever produced a CFL TD? I can't recall one.

Marve's accomplishments occurred with under 6 minutes of playing time. Willy played an entire half + the first series of the third. Marve also played against a defense who was very obviously playing to prevent anything big and left the entire intermediate portion of the field wide open. Not to sensationalize things, but Marve was essentially 0/3 on throws he actually had to earn. He played well, but that performance didn't inspire much more confidence in him than I already had - a moderate amount. Agreed, just pissed off that they relegated him to that portion of the game. Reeks of Max Hall before he was cut.

Walters just confirmed that Richards had a hamstring injury, thank God we can stop worrying about the spread of herpes within the troops.

Much better example. I see you is angry for good reason. People who slide by on welfare have low expectations and often are content not to try to better themselves. A sliding scale of decreased monthly payments might give some of them a spark, there are enough unemployed people to replace every T.F.W. in the land.
