I agree Durant's inclusion on this list is questionable... cfl.ca probably felt obligated to appease Rider nation, otherwise they'd scream bloody murder.... Durant will be fine this year, he still has one of the best o-lines in the league and a decent crop of receivers...

I've managed fairly well in NFL fantasy football.... in 8 years I've won twice and runner up twice... but this is my first crack at CFL fantasy... something I've wanted to do for a long time!

I'm in first place!!! But in a 30-way tie

Are Toston, White, and Steele projected starters on their respective teams?

Just set up a bunch of porto-potties like at beautiful Moasic stadium!

LMAO - that's usually me. I forgot about Darryl Rodgers though, he was pretty bad too. Yeah, a lot of bad coaches, but some good ones, Mike Riley, my all time fav, Cal Murphy, even Ray Jauch for a couple of years did ok, and I even remember Bud Riley. Though Burke is still the worst for the reason many here have pointed out time and again, his failure to make any adjustments at halftime. I think that's why the team wilted so bad. I mean, they knew there was no other strategy to employ. So if their gameplan wasn't working then that was it. I do like Burke as a Coordinator, and he'll do a fine job in Toronto. Does anyone know if we're still paying him? If so, at worst I hope that his salary with Toronto counts - i.e. he was making 100 grand for us, Toronto is paying him 65 grand as a coordinator so we only need to pay him 35 grand. Yes you're bang on about the half time adjustments... yes it's been beaten to death but it's the one thing I'll never forgive in his terrible coaching regime.... and no, we're not still paying him.... we're currently only paying current coaches and current management, what a novel concept!

Yes but he was the backup QB for, what, 3 of those seasons... I'm actually surprised they went with BLM.... not cuz of his talent level but cuz Tate looked a little better and has been there longer... my guess is they want to develop some consistency and Tate is an injury waiting to happen....

Well, I might boo him if he dresses for our club. Because Bryant clearly quit on his team-mates last time he was here and in my opinion he doesn't deserve to ever again wear a Blue Bombers jersey. It also bugs me that current management shows such obvious disregard for recent history - and disrespect for fans and former players. They may not be mindful of that - new slate etc. but to bring in a player like Bryant, who demonstrated an utter lack of professionalism while here, borders on arrogance more than desperation. Such arrogance is not a good sign and will inevitably boomerang on Walters, O'Shea and Bellefeuille down the road. You guys have no idea of what a total schmuck Mike Kelly was. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to play for him. Unless you're Mike Kelly's ex-girlfriend, you know just as much as everybody else...

I was about to label this the "over-reaction" thread until Mr Perfect brought it back down to reality.... we're only working him out... that means taking a look to see if he's got some game left... and if our management and coaches think he can still play, I'll trust their judgement over my own...

Didn't Sears start one game at SAM in 2012 and get hurt half way through??

Didn't Banks play mostly as a nickelback on passing downs last year?... no reason he couldn't play a similar role this year.... I like his attitude and I think it helps the team off the field to have him around this year... assuming he's not a liability on the field

Some harsh words from Mr O'Leary... especially his closing "left Sunday’s availability shaking my head, saying the three words that I’ve regrettably been married to for the last two years in dealing, or attempting to deal with this organization. What a joke."

Is what you're saying that for this reason, you don't expect Walters to make a play for Peach? I'm assuming he's a first year guy. He is actually second year player.... that's the first thing I looked up after reading Mike's post

I really like our coaching staff... so far... we'll see what the first few weeks brings But one thing I like is it seems like we are building contingency plans at all positions.... guys like Etch, Dalqvist, and Wylie won't be around forever.... maybe when they move on, guys like Tracey, Buck, and Charbanneau (respectively) will be ready to step in and fill those roles without having a big effect on the product

He's a large man for a linebacker... and I like it... any chance this guy eventually gets some defensive reps or would he be a special teamer primarily?

Calgary has the following players on their suspended list: 49 Marshall, Brian FB Non-Import 6.00 210 1991-02-24 Western 61 Circelli, Joe OL Non-Import 6.03 296 1991-03-22 Western 71 Crapigna, Tyler K Non-Import 5.07 166 1992-08-04 McMaster 97 Wiggan, Derek DL Non-Import 6.01 250 1992-07-27 Queen's Is it safe to assume these guys are going back to school? Can you "hide" guys on the suspended list like teams do with the IR?

Please, please don't ever suggest that, ever again!!

Jenny Vrentas will be in Winnipeg.... not as high profile as Peter King but a very good writer.... and much more pleasing to the eyes

What his father did means nothing imo... if anything, hopefully, Davin will try to escape the reputation of his father off the field... and I love his "bowling ball" build, works nicely through the tackles and tough to bring down

Isn't that all you need to be a good qb? ;-)

Technically no matter who we signed at MLB would be a downgrade... even if it was an INT as good as Muamba, the fact that he's not NI makes him a downgrade.... but the four guys you mentioned I think will make a big contribution to the team... and don't forget about Goossen, I think he'll have a good career eventually

Just a thought... I'm assuming Brett Maher will be playing with Ottawa tonight against Montreal... he'll have the unique experience of playing 3 pre-season games...

Obviously this coaching staff, specifically Wylie and his protege (forget the guy's name), see something in Swiston that they didn't see in Pencer and Kowalczuk.... there's still hope Swiston could turn out to be a serviceable player...

http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/04/14/willie-haulstead-drawing-attention-with-big-catches-at-bombers-mini-camp I see now who you are talking about. What DID happen to him? I like the comment at the end about Marve. I suppose now, he'll just go down as the oldest looking 24 year old in the history of the world. Seriously. He could be 45. Ummm, have you met Greg Oden... this is him at 20!!

he dropped a ton of passes in game 1, receivers who can't catch tend not to be worth much. I am a bit disappointed in cutting Hall now, I think that was a move that could have waited until you make damned sure you're other backups are for real but whatever I know why they did it... I just don't have to like it. Guy makes one mistake compared to the other and he's out that's a risky way of running your team. Haha, so that's how you see it, eh? I have no problem with Max Hall and up until the signing of Browning, fully expected him to be the back-up this year..... but there are several more reasons he got cut than just that pick he threw against Cgy...
