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). 

Why is it that with some posters, when I read their diatribes it comes through in Abe Simpson's voice?

I'm disappointed in this signing... not that I have any particular objection to Kolakowski... by accounts he had a good year in 2023... but if it came down to him or Gray... I'd have preferred Gray... also don't like the potential of blocking Eli or Dobson when both appear ready to be starters.

I get the feeling this might be a made up example... but even if it was true... It wouldn't surprise me if the Bombers just decided to roll with Dobson, Eli, and Richmond in their places and let the incumbents walk... then draft a couple OL to fight for the back up spot.

You were listening to an advertisement and nothing more.  It's not a surprise he's going to promote his brand and not give the competition a second of free air time.   I would do the same if I were in that position, since you're trying to attract the same talent, especially that higher end talent who could actually play in the NFL one day.

I think it was a very good question to ponder. It’s the exact situation we are in after all. 
 
That is certainly part of it. Because basically every rb at the minimum replacement level could be on an nfl roster. The nfl has known this and worked this way for a long while. At wr it’s harder to find that nfl roster quality player. 
 
Brady is 1000% a fifo guy. He’s a great player, person and team mate I have no question. If he played the rest of his career here I’d be happy. If he goes some place else I’ll cheer for him. End of the day I don’t have any emotional attachment to an individual player on this roster that is close to the attachment to the team and it being good. There is no guy I wouldn’t cut or trade to make the team better, if a better player was available. Though I do have it add, some times the team is more than the sum of its parts. If we replaced wj biggie yoshi and Bailey all with better players, we might well get worse due to shattering the locker room. That is a hard thing to gauge for the mafia who know the core intimately. Impossible for me or us on here to say where that line is.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed wide receivers Keric Wheatfall and Braxton Burmeister, and kicker Jose Borregales on Monday.

Ok, now I think people are going too hard in the other direction here.
Last year Brady was absolute crap for the first half of the season and clearly made changes to be the incredible back he was for the last half of 2022 and all of 2023. It is not all the OL and not every back will have close to his success. Augustine had a high average at the end of blow out games. It's not an equal comparison.  

Probably easier if we call it The Pas... I don't think that name is taken...

You're getting a little worked up over this. 

No, Canada Life did not sound like Bi-Way Field. 

When I read this I was thinking it's hard to imagine the Bombers don't have one of those picks... we basically ignored the nationalize Canadian rule all season...
Thanks for the answer Jesse.

was thinking the same thing

Idk I remember seeing ott in that discussion a lot. I don’t think many people league wide though blm would be back maybe even mbt and Harris. I for sure thought we’d see some guys dip after last year but we just haven’t. It’s rare for the qb market in the cfl to shrink. 
 
and I mean if you want to talk receipts, Brady vs Augustine, every one vs fajardo, people bad mouthing Eli before he came back, an awful lot of such receipts can be called due and every poster would all the crow to eat my self included. 

I did not have sexual relations...with that fur coat....

The fact that you remember this stuff is incredible and mind boggling... always a pleasure to read your Bomber history memories
@Taylor Ribbins... unfortunately you father played 10 years before I was born so I'm no use to you... but good luck with your search!
