Apparently Julie Stewart-Bink from Fox Sports 1 (formally of CTV Regina and I believe she worked in Winnipeg at some point) will be here too... Her and Eric Stonestreet are apparently friends.... Also his character, Cam, was a college O-lineman... he'd be an import but could work in a pinch

Great article, thanks.... but I'm not sure I'm ready to jump the gun on "stardom".... one good game doesn't make a star Breaking bad reference??: "In fact this time he was the one who knocked."

This is probably the most relevant with Eric Stonestreet being in attendance tonight...

Ummm, why is Anthony Allen not available to pick this week?? Also they still have Brett Maher with the Bombers.... Seriously TSN, get your **** together...

I'm actually starting to not like this beginning schedule very much.... In Mtl next week, then Edm at home in week 4.... being back in the West it woulda been nice to see how we fare against one of the big boys (Sask or Cgy) in week 2 or 3....

Who woulda thought at this time one week ago we would say Ottawa is the tougher of our first two games???

I think the biggest fear most people have is the CFL becoming the farm league for the NFL.... there by adopting NFL rules, eliminating the ratio, etc....

hahah I love how many people picked Kelly cuz he'll likely be covered by Mr Inconsistent.... Can't wait to see him get torched in a different uniform... was getting tired of seeing it in Blue and Gold.... But I'm going with Nic Grigsby!

I recommend they post a picture of Bryant Turner on the jumbotron and the mere acknowledgement of his presence will make Hank just fall down a few times .... with sacks being credited to Turner of course

It's clearly far too early to anoint Willy as the saviour and label Collaros as a bust.... however I'm very happy with the way things went week one... I suspect this will be, one of, if not the worst game Collaros plays all year.... I'll need at least 6 games for an accurate assessment... so far...so good

Is there a joke I'm missing here or do you keep calling him Collara cuz you don't know his name is actually COLLAROS??

I actually wanted to watch this game since I missed it.... I went to watch when they were replaying it last night and I only lasted about 5 minutes cuz I couldn't handle Rod Black.... I really wish they had made Rod Black the panel host and given the real talented Rod (Smith) his pbp position... or just get rid of Rod Black all together...

You never miss a chance to pat yourself on the back, eh!

LOL yeah I can see it now - week 17: Winnipeg Blue Bombers: Rank 7 With a 16-0 record, and a points for and against of +350, the Bombers still look for that elusive ability to finish games by half time. Brian Brohm hasn't been able to get into the game at any point this season before the end of the third quarter. Aaron Kelly seems to be stagnating, with only 30 TD's so far, not able to keep the two TD a game pace he'd been setting earlier in the season. Drew Willy's play has been lagging of late, with only three TD's and 295 yards of passing in his last outing against Edmonton, where the Bombers barely pulled off a 48 - 12 squeaker against Edmonton. The Bomber defence got really lucky that Mike Reilly threw three pick sixes and also fumbled four times. The O-line also struggled, giving up one whole sack against the vaunted Eskimo D-line; granted it was in the last minute of the 4th quarter, when the team water boy was brought in to play left tackle due to Mike O'Shea losing a bet to Bob Wylie. Still, the Bombers still seem to only slightly be improving over last year, and the 10-6 Stamps should dominate them thoroughly this week. I can't even take you seriously That's kinda the point.... excellent post KBF, laughed the whole time... but power rankings clearly mean nothing since obviously this one was done before the season started.... and they were too lazy to change it by considering the games that actually happened.... maybe it keeps our guys motivated...

We can probably save the "get pressure on the QB and make him force throws" analysis for pretty much every QB who's ever played the game... Good article in the freep about Ottawa being filling with guys who "have a chip on their shoulder... also hard to game plan for a team with no film.... I expect a Bombers win but I think it'll be close... let's say Bomber 28 Redblacks 20

Interesting side note... from an article in the freep.... how do you prepare for a team that's never played before.... I think it will be a close game

I'll be at the game tonight then off to the west coast for a brief 5 day vacay... I'll have plenty of reading to do once I get back to a computer July 2...

Yeah that article was extremely bizarre.... I got about half way through I couldn't finish cuz of how ridiculous it was... all I kept thinking was 'what has MOS ever done to give the impression he has a bad tamper and would blow up on players at any moment??'... If anything he's given the impression that he's the opposite....

Romby should have some inside info on the Argos playbook. Nice timing for this considering we play the Argos tomorrow. The TJ Harris stunt! OK, so just like Harris in Hammy - will will mine Romby for the Toronto playbook. And then shortly thereafter we will release him. Then we should sign RetBacks castoff (LeMarquand or Hargreaves perhaps? ), Tyron Carrier (MTL) and Jacory Harris (EDM) I'm assuming this is some kind of sick joke

I was all excited to pick Curtis Steele... thinking I would be the only one.... but apparently a few others have jumped on the bandwagon!.... oh well, still going with Steele...

Only if we can rename you MR. CFL. I'm assuming it's only an honorary doctorate anyways...

The issue here isn't Burke's honesty... I think everyone agrees our talent was **** last year.... he's right about that... the issue with what he said was the fact that he deflected ALL the blame elsewhere and did not take any responsibility for his own failings.... he may have been "forced" to take over the team mid-season, which isn't an ideal situation.... but if he didn't want the job to start the 2013 season there was no one holding a gun to his head then (well maybe Mack was, I can't confirm that ).... point is Burke = good DC, terrible HC

Couldn't have said it better myself....

Except for every player on the team, the rest of the coaching staff, and the entire management staff... he's deflecting blame from himself to everybody else.... not really sure what your definition of "throwing under the bus" is....

Nice to see NI O-linemen added.... interesting that we're releasing Browning already...
