  1. Cato out, Als chances further diminished.
  2. Right...so far I would rank Addison Richards below Etienne in terms of a wasted pick. Must be one hell of an upper body injury. Does Richards even practice with the team?
  3. I know but you need backups. If Bastien gets injured, no Canadian WR to step in. It's doable but leaves us very thin.I don't see why we can't sign a Kito Poblah or Jade Etienne to stand on the side lines and look pretty in case of an injury. I thought it was reported (albeit here, so take that for what it's worth) that jade was done with football... I'd be interested in seeing what Poblah would do as a jersey filler... too bad that rifles kid didn't work out... Forgot about him, wonder if that Reaves kid is still around. Still can't understand why the Bombers didn't make room for him on the PR.
  4. Evil Muamba is dressed for this game, I've got my voodoo doll out and plenty of pins for stickin'.
  5. So how do they get Wild on the field for every snap?
  6. I think it would be wise to finish the season with both of them on the roster and let Lirim's contract negotiations determine how the Bombers approach next season.
  7. Good work by the D with 7 sacks in total. The D line contributed 4 so they're getting results from more then just Westerman and I thought Turner had his best game of the season so far.

  8. Copyright is a huge issue that should not be overlooked, the original laws did a good job of protecting the creator during his life-time and balancing the public use and advancement of the creation. These alterations are designed by lawyers and accountants and are geared to locking in the earning potential of creative works for a much longer term. Here is a good synopsis. "The entire purpose of copyright law in the US was supposed to be about enabling greater dissemination of learning and knowledge, and that's by increasing the public domain. Yet, instead, because of regulatory capture, and the ability of gatekeepers to hijack the process, we've created a copyright law that does exactly the opposite. It restricts the dissemination of knowledge, decreases cultural sharing and availability, and generally harms creators and their ability to build on culturally relevant works. What defenders of restrictive copyrights often fail to recognize is that the public domain is what made culture culture. Culture is a shared concept, in which lots of people are all experiencing the same or similar things -- and making it their own as a part of that. We used to share stories, retell jokes, build on and change the works of others, and it was that shared effort that built culture and helped it spread. But copyright law has changed all that. Rather than a true cultural phenomenon, where culture is built up by the public in terms of what they create, share and build upon, we now have a situation where the gatekeepers decide what culture is, push it on everyone via broadcast means, and then tell us not to do anything about it... unless we pay exorbitant sums. That's a perverse understanding of how culture happens, and one that does not benefit creators or the public (often one and the same), but is hugely beneficial for a few gatekeepers. For a robust creative community and culture, it is important to bring back a healthy respect for the public domain."
  9. Considering where Castillo comes from he should have no problem kicking in wind.
  10. Start with handing Neufeld a plane ticket to Saskatoon. We can get a late round pick for him but yup, start with the oline and then receivers, Marcel may be a bad coordinator but your top players can't be missing assignments and dropping balls in big games. Was really disappointed with both Nichols and Moore's performances last night, as leaders on the O. these guys need to be able to step up for big games and make **** happen. Hard to do much when you're always 2nd and long. A lot of that rests on Marcel's inability to get the run game going. This is true but in the previous two games against better D's than BC's the O eventually found a groove. Last night they struggled to get anything going and looked bad for the duration.

  12. I thought everyone went back to Our Bombers and abandoned the ship.
  13. Stoudermire, he's O'Shea's wild card.
  14. Just wondering, do these polls reach people through social media or are they conducted as in the past, strictly by phone? • Ballot tracking reflects only the first choice given by decided voters • A national dual-frame (land+cell) random telephone survey is conducted nightly by Nanos Research throughout the campaign using live agents. Each evening a new group of 400 eligible voters are interviewed. The daily tracking figures are based on a three-day rolling sample comprised of 1,200 interviews. To update the tracking a new day of interviewing is added and the oldest day dropped. The margin of error for a survey of 1,077 decided voters is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. • The margin of error for weekly surveys before Sept. 4 is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20 This is way off topic, but if there are any statisticians out there, can you tell me why they phrase things like this. Is the margin of error +/- 3 or not .... if this happens to be the 20th time, what is the margin of error? Or is it completely unknown? 19/20 is 95% so why not just build that other 5% of uncertainty into the +/- 3. It all seems a little hodge-podge. It helps to cover their asses when they get it wrong.

  16. The mere fact he is teetering on being benching at the moment likely suggests that he isn't going to have a lot of teams chasing after his services. Look at the crap we went through with Milo. I think he has proven he can get the job done, but he has also proven that he can't. His next contract should reflect that. A fair deal that reflects bonuses for field goal percentages etc.. to provide him a opportunity for a raise if he plays well and protects the bombers for overpaying if he sucks again next year. If the Bombers want to play hardball with Lirim they better find themselves an Import Swayze Waters kick-a-like just in case he decides to bolt. Going back to trying out a string of leftover leftovers won't make them a better team.
  17. Honestly, I think trying to portray Mulcair as warm and fuzzy was a mistake by the NDP strategists. I much prefer the straight-shooter that we saw in QP these past few years. He's at his best when he's talking down to Harper and he only exposed that side briefly during the second debate. Nothing against him personally but when Mulcair smiles it kind of gives me the creeps.
  18. Argo's just lost another home game. This time they're headed to Hamilton. This nightmare can't end soon enough for the Argos and the CFL. I hope they institute a permanent ban on any Rogers involvement with the CFL for all of eternity.
  19. you see how well longo worked out? top notch interior guys are not avail this late in season.. you get jersey fillers now. even 5 weeks ago it would have been a trial simply due to how much effort goes into building that cohesivesness an oline needs.. Longo ends up back on the PR and Neufeld is expected back for BC. Selvish goes back to LG and Goosen sits again? Not sure how they fared individually last game with the shuffle but they didn't give up any sacks in the second half. Statistically, we didn't gave up a sack last game. You're right, but you would have a hard time convincing Nichols that was the case. I believe he got "planted" at least 4 times.
  20. Harper riding on the coat tails of a balanced budget seems disingenuous at best as it took him 8 years and some backwards somersaults to achieve that mark for the first time in his reign and during that time he ran record setting deficits. Doesn't matter who is elected, I don't believe a balanced budget is in the cards for the next couple of years anyway.

  22. Emissions measured are mostly from coal burning plants. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/computer-generated-video-shows-pollution-spread-across-the-prairies-1.3261783
  23. In general signing a great player near the end of his playing career is a very bad idea, be it Ray, Owens or Dressler. Better to invest the money saved on salary to find great players at the beginning of their playing careers.
  24. The winners and losers have little to do with the individual countries involved. The TPP like all other free trade agreements before it mainly opens the door to unfettered market access for multi-national corporations. The Mom and Pop dairy farm (which we like) will become a thing of the past for the most part only to be replaced by industrial scale dairy ops (which we hate). Betsy can kiss the sun goodbye for evermore but I for one, can hardly wait to save $2.00 on that swell Chinese ice cream! Unfortunately common sense will never trump the dollar. How? Dairy is going to face at best very muted external competition and they are getting compensated for that handsomely That's in the short-term, they are playing a long-term game with these deals.
