  1. Looks like Hamiltons, except the white and red, Replace that with Yellow though and It's the same Jersey. So bold and innovative though to have 3 or 4 teams in a 9 team league have a jersey that looks exactly the same. Not a fan of the bomber jerseys, But... the one thing I will say, Is they are at least different than most the others. I suppose you could make the argument that the bombers jerseys have been the "boldest" jerseys so far, Not say "bold" is always a good thing tho. Just saying compared to the others, they are pretty "bold".
  2. I dunno, i think Churchill is one of those guys that might know more than the others. Not sure why but when Churchill says something, it does tend to be truthful. Honestly, I'll take Churchills opinion over some of the other guys, I like bauming, i like Penton but at times, they tend to go a bit overboard on guys getting injured, He's not on the field they say, must be injured, then a day later you find out the guy went home to be there for the birth of his daughter. I think Churchill is more in the know than people realize. Honestly, I understand they are media but... why keep playing up the injury thing? What's the point, I'd rather go the Churchill route and say he's pretty much healthy and will be fine rather than beating a tiny injury to death, Penton called Vega a healthy scratch, Not exactly healthy. Penton,Bauming, they are print and radio media really, Churchill is the sports director at CTV, he has really no need to over exaggerate, The other guys? to an extent, they do, gives them talking points for their columns or radio shows. Say what you will about Churchill but he seems to be well respected, Who got the first real interview with Wade Miller last season? Wasn't penton, Wasn't bauming, it was Churchill and CTV.
  3. I think Americans have misinterpreted the meaning of the whole "right to bear arms" thing.. I don't think the forefathers were referring to guns, i think they were referring to bear arms. Yup.
  4. Yup and they might not have a choice with Florida and Or Phoenix moving also.
  5. Honestly, I'm gonna say it, I'm happy he signed with SASK over Ottawa. That puts a smile on my face, Once i came to the realization he wasn't gonna sign here, I just wanted him to give Marcel Desjardins a big FU and he pretty much did. Guess, sometimes as much as some on here try to make you believe, it's not always about the Money.
  6. The only argument to be made in Dresslers case is he has arguably been the best receiver in the league the last several years.. he does have five 1000 yard seasons under his belt, He is what i'd consider to be an elite receiver, there aren't many Weston Dresslers in the CFL. What desjardins is doing though is potentially crippling his franchise a wee bit in the long run, What's gonna happen when time comes to sign a few more guys.. Will they have the money to keep signing guys to these ridiculous over priced contracts? Only time will tell. Not all of his players can make "top dollar".
  7. Yeah it really doesn't make much sense, I suppose he is trying to win now but that teams needs more than just one receiver. The sad part is the RedBlacks are actually one win away from being host to a playoff game.. Yup. But i agree 100 percent, that team won't win now, I'd be surprised if they won anytime in the near future even, not another game, i mean a championship.. I would understand this more if that team was one or 2 players away from being really really good but they aren't. They got a long way to go.
  8. I'd take a run at hall, Especially if we don't get dressler, just wait for Matthews to be cut and then grab him too, rumours are he has a verbal agreement with WPG and talks to coach howell on a regular basis, Think IF matthews is cut, it's just a matter of time, This could all change if we sign dressler, which i'm doubting now. But Vega,Turner,Anderson,Hall. with one of peach or fraser rotating, heck could probably get them both on the roster, works. Press conference on the main forum suggests kuale is playing this week, last thing o'shea said was "ej kuale will play"
  9. Realize, getting a bit carried away here but... Just got a question. How good would Dressler be in Ottawa? Ottawa isn't SASK, they have no getzlaf or bagg or simon last year or fantuz prior, Dressler would be the man and the only receiver they have really, Couldn't teams just take Dressler out of the game seeing as he would have no help there at all and take their chances on the other guys who are not getting the job done? It's a pretty valid question here because sask has had good receivers for years, Ottawa doesn't really have one receiver.. How good would he be there? If dressler wants to win, he probably won't go there, if he wants to be the man and be the only receiver on the team and only cares about money, he might.. But i mean, 3 guys Hank, Dressler,Shologan making probably over 1 million bucks combined. Throw in Chevon Walker and it's more.. How much is Ottawa handcuffing themselves for the future here? If it was me, I'd appreciate Ottawas offer but probably go to the team who has a better chance to compete now and in the future, Hank is 40, Demarco is done for the year, What if Hank gets injured and you got green than goose poop O'brien playing.. Man oh man.
  10. and now some absolute ridiculousness http://cjme.com/story/regina-businesses-sweeten-dresslers-deal/410542
  11. People are quite dedicated if they sit through that first half of crap football again... I'd just skip to the 3rd quarter. But always awesome to have the option. Thanks
  12. Hate saying this but apparently, it's once more this season and once more next season.. If the reports are accurate.
  13. David Larkins ✔ @LarkinsWSun If you're in a "bidding war" for a receiver in the CFL, you need to burn your neg list. Haha. Good point there.
  14. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=460393 Theres the TSN story.
  15. gary lawless ✔ @garylawless for those asking, no, i don't think #bombers are in the Dressler hunt I don't think? Pretty much eh Gary lol
  16. I think 200,000 for Dressler is fair. Dude has had five 1000 yard seasons, He's very good. I'd actually say he's the best import receiver in the CFL the last several seasons. I've always liked the guy, was really angered to learn that he came from North Dakota and the Bombers didn't make a play for him originally. You know what, 200,000 base with a 50,000 signing bonus.. I'd do it. Hell, if need be, let's make that one time signing bonus 75000. Got cap space, why not use it.
  17. I dont buy it. Firstly, that would be the worst thing ISIS could do though I assume they'd gladly do it if they could. But that would be the end of ISIS because the US would decimate them. But the evidence mostly points to mechanical failure. Are you of the opinion the pilot(s) were in on a hijacking? I'm not sure any more and to be honest, have lost interest, just reporting what a few people have said. It wouldn't shock me one bit to see another 9/11, maybe 9/11 x 1000 so like 911,000
  18. 250 is insane, bet for 50,000 more you could get both alex hall and chris matthews. But with all that being said, just realized the guy has a young basically newborn child, I think he stays in Regina.
  19. I'm not convinced he goes to Ottawa. All that money or not, I'm just not convinced. He probably will but, one would assume that if they offered him 250,000, he would have signed it by now... Obviously he hasn't and is thinking his options over. Maybe money isn't the be all and end all here. 250,000 is way way too much but i'm still not convinced he takes it.. 40,000 more than Josh Bourke, 45000 more than chad owens... Ottawa is being crazy here, trying to win now but, it just won't happen.. Dressler or no Dressler, that Ottawa team ain't winning. Maybe it's just hope or a gut feeling, but.. beware of the quiet one in all this, we know sask and Ottawa are interested, we have assumed Winnipeg has interest.. Winnipeg is being the most quiet of all 3, there has to be a reason for that. Perhaps it's as simple as to not get anyones hopes up but then again, maybe it's too respect the wishes of dressler and his agent? Who knows.. Not sure i like this negotiating through the media that Ottawa seems to be doing.
  20. Probably because for as much love as Kromah seems to be getting, the real run stopper last week was Ian Wild who had 14 tackles and barely anyone is mentioning him.
  21. Miami might be a huge market but it's a market that doesn't care about hockey. They gave up on Atlanta, they will give up on Florida one day also. Phoenix also has an out in their contract coming up too, Don't be surprised if Phoenix is on the way to Seattle.
  22. There are some strong rumours going around that MH370 may have been hijacked by that ISIS group and some people in the know are saying there could be another 9/11 coming up very soon, on 9/11/14 actually.. some pretty big time military people, retired i believe are speculating that the MH370 plane could be used by ISIS to attack the USA.
  23. Gonna throw up in my mouth a bit here but so far, These ticat jerseys are my favourite. They look nice, clean simple and look like ticat colours. I can't give anyone an A, not even BC as i think all black is just too simple.. but Ticats B+ Lions B Redblacks B Als C Riders F Bombers F Arogs F
  24. Congrats to all of them, Only name i know is Ritchie, but congrats to all 4.
  25. The reason the media has somewhat moved on is because the bigger story is ISIS and a possible threat to the USA. These guys are for real, they ain't messing around, beheading people on youtube videos.. Remember MH370? dominated the airways for a long time, what ever happened there? Then it became about Ukraine for a while then something else happened and they went on about MH17 for a while, then ferugson happened, now ISIS.. Fact is, as much as some may not like to admit it, there are bigger stories in the world than a black guy being shot by a police officer.
