I think we have at least as good of a chance at winning the cup as Calgary does this year. Winnipeg needs to finish 1st in the west.

I think his point is that they oppose everything people on the right support - even if they proposed the very same thing only a few months or years ago.

Getting off topic, but I agree. B.C. people don't understand what we like about the Prairies. Other than the weather being better there (Vancouver area) for 6 months a year, they don't have anything on us. The traffic is better here, the cost of housing is way better...and the people (IMO) are generally more neighborly. Heh, just my 2 cents.

I have heard he does want to be a head coach again though.

On second thought...if the NFL were running a Golden Corral restaurant in the stadium...I would definitely go!!

I might watch the game on T.V....but only because it's in Winnipeg.

You obviously have never referred before...or else if you did, you were perfect. Yes, the refs in the CFL do get it wrong sometimes...at times even ***** stupid calls. But heh, NFL refs make some really bad calls and they are full time. If I'm a player, I'd feel like cussing out a ref sometimes too, but I'd expect a penalty for it.

Really looking forward to seeing Jeffcoat and Jefferson go after QB's. I'd expect big seasons from both of them.

I'm sure they'd have a system where, if you don't sign with a team by such and such a date, you go back in the pool of undrafted/unprotected players

Had a territorial rule in the NHL for the Montreal Canadiens until 1972. There should be an asterisk beside all their Stanley Cups up to that point.

Yeah, like a 50 per cent reduction in pay. Heh, I'm only half kidding. Not sure guaranteed contracts would ever become a thing in the CFL. They could probably tinker with guaranteed contracts for vets and say the cut off point is earlier in the season. But you would still have to make the team, of course. The CFL teams can't afford to pay dead weight salaries of players who aren't contributing (like NHL or NBA can). But I do agree with a lot of what the article says, especially in reference to players who speak out getting cut and getting no compensation.

Who holds the Bomber record in this category? Isn't it Paul Bennet in punt return yardage? The guy was never fancy, he went straight forward, but got the job done. Anyways, my vote would go to Fritz Hanson and Leo Lewis. (My personal favorite was Mack Herron -he played for the Bombers when I first started watching them. Dynamic in CFL and NFL but sadly could never exorcise his demons.).

I'd never count out a Calgary team led by Hufnagel, Dickinson, and BLM. Until someone knocks them down a notch, they're still #1 in my books.

Last place will look good on the Riders.

He did

I'm guessing they can't afford all of them. Paying Bighill top $ will have some consequence. Also, it's likely the Bombers believe Couture is ready to start (if need be).

I, for one, am disappointed in Rod Pedersen leaving. I would often listen to the sports cage out here in Saskatoon. Pedersen was fiercely loyal to the Riders and a true "homer". He wore his emotions on his sleeve. I would text him as a Bomber fan and he'd get riled up. It was always in good fun and he said so too. I appreciated his honesty with alcoholism too. I will miss him. I wish you all the best, Rod!!

The Liberals have killed pipelines. Alberta's lost about 20,000 oil-related jobs. Now...back to football please.

Arash Madani claims this kind of stuff (athletes, team reps having "false" accounts) happens all the time.

Merry Christmas to all!!

There'd be a lot of wealthy Bomber fans then...

IMHO Rod Hill was the best DB the Bombers ever had. He may be the best at that position to ever play in the CFL. I've said this a number of times but...he was so good, that when the Bombers had Less Browne playing on the other corner (Less Browne is the CFL's all time INT leader), QB's rarely threw to Hill's side. I remember the day the Bombers signed Rod Hill...Cal Murphy was in a state of ephoria.

That's your opinion, I'll leave it at that.

If MOS was wise, he would give Streveler even more playing time next year (not counting the games Nichols was hurt). We could then slide Streveler into the starting role in 2020.

Yeah, but if you're Matthews, where would you sign? Calgary to catch passes from one of the most prolific passers in modern day CFL history, or Winnipeg who has Matt Nichols, who throws short passes, hands off to Harris and locks down on Adams? (And by the way, I like Nichols...but just saying).
