Take out the podcast part and you've described most of this board. 😂

Richmond in for Hardrick is probably one of the easiest decisions we can make as a team. 
 
People are going to question the effect it may have on the locker room, but if those guys don’t rally around a guy like Richmond finally getting his shot after being on the PR for 4 years (especially with him being about as stand up of a guy as it gets) then that’s on them 

I'm definitely good with RedHawk at SAM and not averse to a Hallett at S... I think most of us felt like Kramdi got better and better with each snap. 

Just popped in to read the Strevy talk.  

what makes you jump to this conclusion? Just the dollars?... I agree with you and I think the club is ready to give Richmond a starting role... but you just seem very confident Hardrick is out.

I've been thinking about getting a Big Stan jersey for a while now... I've always felt weird about having the jersey of someone who is younger than me... and with Bryant being the only player on the roster (just barely) older than me and the fact that he's awesome... seems like a good choice... obviously I'll have to change this philosophy if I ever want to get another new player after that...

Next purchase:  Fur coat

Jackson jersey and watch Booch chase after me with a pitch fork! 

Of the two "big" guys that are left for us to potentially re-sign (and I *do* hope we somehow manage both), Schoen for me is the priority.   
This is a passing league and Schoen is a proven commodity who has demonstrated amazing chemistry with our quarterback.  Don't get me wrong, I love the ability to grind down opponents and salt away a game with a dominating rushing attack but running back isn't an area where I'd choose to prioritize spending.  

The prukop package is an actual threat now.

When you just mail-in your day job...
 

Schoen actually runs a mid 4.4...he's not pedestrian by any means.
Knock on him was his walk on status, and some bizarre weaknesses that he has shown none of in the CFL
was perceived as a poor route runner, and bad out of his breaks, and had poor hands and skills with ball....even questioned his football IQ and instincts
Goes to show you how walk-ons are looked at and are behind the 8 -ball from the get go post College...

I actually complete agree with your point... I just am not seeing evidence that we're running it back the same way we did from 22 to 23... unfortunately that might include guys we actually want, like Brady and Schoen.  

Well, I guess we'll see.  But the truth is, many of us are skeptical because we've seen this movie before
It happened with Dave Ritchie and it happened with Doug Berry (after the 2007 season)
Then the chickens came home to roost and the team was just not that good
 

Don't the Bombers have one of the longest unsigned players list in the league... where are people getting this "bringing back the same team" idea from?...
Bombers have 10 picks in the upcoming draft.... and unless they package two of them to move up to grab someone they love... I expect to see 10 new Canadians in camp (yeah, there'll probably be at least one futures pick in there) fighting to knock off the incumbents or other Canadian vets

I guess DT knew earlier in the day, LOL!
 

Put me down as someone who would be very excited if our edge rush rotation this year consisted of Willie, Kongbo, Mason Bennett and whatever American shows off in camp

Longtime Stamps Left tackle Bruce Covernton passed away two days ago in his sleep. Apparently, he had a massive heart attack. He was only 57 years of age.
I knew Bruce as he coached with me at Centennial High School in 2008 here in Calgary.
Covernton was born in Morris, MB. After Covernton played HS football in Winnipeg, he attended Weber State & then was drafted by the Stamps in 1992. He played LT for them from 1992-98. Covernton was named the CFL's Western Division ROTY. Covernton was a CFL West Division All Star in 1993 & 94. He was named an All Canadian at Left Tackle in 1994. He was a two time Grey Cup Champion in 1992 & 98.
Upon retiring, Bruce took up permanent residence here. He was an entrepreneur & was active in local charities in Calgary. He founded a company that imported coffee from Columbia. Then Covernton bought a personnel staffing company & it was very successful. He was quite a character & will be missed.

You probably missed a whole episode of Matlock typing that all up, you old fart
 
(just kidding)

Me most of the time reading all of the back and forth banter here:

I think there are clouds perpetually rolling in over certain houses in Alberta. 
And no Noeller I don’t view you that way. I get more of this vibe from you at times (at least when Booch, a.k.a Spike, posts).
