Stickem

Pinball's a positive guy. He once flew to Calgary for the funeral of my son's friend almost ten years ago. He had met the boy a couple of years earlier but I don't remember the circumstances as to why. Unfortunately, the teen committed suicide. My son met him at the funeral. Pinabll didn't have to come & it wasn't expected but he did. Clemons even got up & said a few words. That's just the kind of guy he is. So really, why diss Pinball who is one of the nicest guys around?

I think there's a huge differing opinion on who played who...Henoc walked away with a ton of cash for doing literally nothing and his agent got paid off for arranging the grand tour...My opinion is Popp pooped his pants on that whole deal and flushed a bunch of cash...Cripes if Walters would have pulled off a deal like that the heavens would've come crashing down around here..

His last stint here he was also HC which brings with it a whole bunch of other responsibilities during and in between the game.
The last time he was OC, his team made it to the Grey Cup and he ran the 2nd best offence in the league by points per game.

Now that fa is waning...next up,and early next week, is the release of the 16'schedule...I hope we get a break this year and we get a better allocation of bye weeks..The last two years have not been kind in that respect and we deserve a better deal as far as short turnaround weeks...Someone mentioned that we had the most of any club last year as far as games being scheduled with 4 day breaks...May seem trivial to some but it can have a great bearing on the season and success...Get it right schedule makers. Looking forward to next week.

Let's see, to get Henoc, a team has to agree to assume his contract of $235,000, pay him a bonus (included) of $55,000 before next week, and if Henoc chooses, he could bolt again in a year.
And, for that privilege, you have to give Montreal high picks?
The stampede for his services should begin at any time.

A lifetime 87% kicker will win us a lot more games than either (a) a top Canadian LT out of position in place of a decent Import RT; or (b) a top Canadian LT in place of a top Import LT.
The fact that we have much stronger potential Canadian starters this season, means that there's no need to put Bourke in place of Bryant, even if their skillset is a wash. Plus, their salaries sure as heck wouldn't be a wash!

Noted he made a point of mentioning our later pics, but never mentioned the guy we got Waggoner...Where is he fitting in on D or is he just chopped liver...I think this kid comes into his own and is a possible at safety...Maybe I'm just hoping but c'mon the guy is a talent and we gave up a first rounder for him and he's Canadian..He deserves a mention..

Medlock is by far a superior kicker to anyone we have had on our roster lately...period...He's available...you go after him...If we are fortunate enough to sign him our kicking woes have ended...Business decision and a good one...simple as that.

Not shopping but trading...How about Richards for Demski and make both guys happy...If Walters could pull that off I'd be a happy Pegger. 

Harris gives us a consistent weapon against the blitz.....

Everyone wonders about how much money WE are spending ... Montreal has probably spent more money than anyone in the past 6 months.
Muamba, Martin, Stafford, Carter ... that's probably close to 750k right there.

I wonder if Demski is looking over his shoulder homeward....Now wouldn't that be a nice homecoming for all...

nHuff and puff says we're bad dudes for signing free agents we needed to improve???Get over it ..Says we didn't sign any of ours but went after everyone elses...Was he talking about the riders or us???Also says he prefers to sign his own guys first...Guess he's still trying to contact Simpson and Raymond and it was holding him back in fa...What a joker..

16-0 Huff refuses to play against the bombers cause of the way Walters handled FA.

Better than the Riders

The thing I find funniest is that you have a guy like Rider_Stronson over there (who I have a lot of respect for, he's a very smart CFL fan) talking about how our build is so "Tamanesque" because we're spending like mad in FA but then in the same thread, he brags about how smart Jones is because they have cap room and are now set up to spend on day two and beyond.
All in the name of "value".

I wonder if Demski is looking over his shoulder homeward....Now wouldn't that be a nice homecoming for all...

New Look Wade Miller ...

.....AND Harris will sign here....

When did Sergio Castillo change his name to Sergio Garcia? Or when Did Sergio Garcia drop the golf clubs to join the Bombers?

Each team will make offers to multiple players once free agency starts, not knowing which ones will come off the board early and which ones will have extended bidding wars, creating uncertainty both in terms of roster goals and budget.  Or to look at it from the opposite direction, signing Dressler before free agency gives the Bombers some certainty at that position that they otherwise would not have had at the start of free agency, both for securing a starting receiver and budget.  Now they can cross a position off the list and have a better idea how much money is left to play with when there are multiple irons in the fire that require quick reactions.
By keeping Moore on our roster until the start of free agency, we help contribute some uncertainty to the other 8 teams free agency plans.  By keeping Harris from signing here (for example) early, Buono makes it harder for us to have a concrete plan of how much we can offer Bourke (for example), which could be the advantage they need to swoop in and sign him there.  It's a minor advantage, but they'll take any advantage they can get.

Your team was terrible.
