Ah... no...its no longer the off-season. That ended with the start of rookie camp. Football's back!!!!!!

With Bighill here, and if our QB can stay healthy I can't see why we couldn't battle it out for 1st place this year....

Oh and I love Dunigans response too, "He just hit himself in the you-know-where". Just priceless! Kind of grateful if this is the case. A veteran QB at this point would have no upside...a rookie might.

They probably didn't have the $ to pay him on injury reserve now that they spent 70 grand on...oh, nevermind...😋.

True. But VERY few. Ricky Ray, Kent Austin, Doug Flutie, and Tom Clements come to mind.

Wow. You ain't kidding. That isn't much. Kind of hard to find someone with less than 10 days till camp.

I hope the Bombers don't panic and sign some CFL QB re-tread. (Although I don't think there's any out there at this point).

But you guys know the Riders are winning the Cup, right?!! C'mon

I take it as a positive sign that he is facing this situation and beginning to take responsibility for it. He may end up doing time and the road ahead may be a difficult one...but I still hope the best for him.

Okay. Let's get rid of everyone - Walters, O'Shea, Miller. The only question is...do we bring in Mike Kelly or Jeff Reinbold?

Too bad for James Tuck. I feel bad for him. This might lead the CFLPA to push for changes...such as no vets allowed in mini-camps. Or at least no non-QB vets.

That is stating the obvious. Having said that, my guess is that he retires after this year. I can't see a situation where one of our big 3 american receivers are cut; however they should be pushed.

Great to hear on-field news finally! Thanks, guys.

I respect your enthusiasm. However, myself having grown up as a Maple Leafs fan, being from Winnipeg originally and thus following the Bombers and Jets I have endured many, many terrible years of bad teams. Even during the good years I remain cautious about my teams chances.. maybe because the disappointment is easier to take after an early playoff exit. Having said that 2018 so far looks oh so good!!!

Really, really hard to say if we will be better or worse. The safe bet is...about the same. I get a kick out of Rod Peterson (Regina 620 radio). He says the Bombers finish 5th in west. Personally, I dare not predict 1 thru 4 in west because the teams look so close. Peterson does have a point, though, when he says he is not sold on our defense. If the Bombers can improve their defense this team could compete for 1st. The offense will be good. But will the defense?

I have been to Regina many times so if you have to go there my advice to you is: when you get to the outskirts, close your eyes and plug your nose. Resume normal position after you leave. Yes, I know it makes enjoying the concert difficult, but it is better for your long term mental state!

Just one week till mini camp in Winnipeg! Are they holding it inside or outside? ( Honest question considering this insane weather we've been having.) On the plus side.. .only one week till some football news!!

Agreed. Hopefully there is good video footage of this which brings the truth to light.

Apparently Strauhan had an injury that would have kept him out for a while

The problem I have is that those guys seem to get cut year-after-year. Too many times we get excited about a can't miss guy and then he gets cut the first round of cuts or has an injury or some other "family" issue and leaves the team.

Aww man, does this mean I have to give up my Chris Matthews fantasy??

Muamba signs in Montreal?? Wow, that should put them over the 3 win threshold.

I like to think it's more like he has stood in line for the urinal, and when its his turn he just can't get it to come... oh the off-season is just too long

Didn't Dressler just sign a 1 year contract late last fall? Doubt he retires (maybe after 2018 season but not before). We could always use a couple of guys in our system when injuries happen.

And we are a consistent playoff team right now. Yup, lots going right for this team.
