    The net punting is identical. Looks like Ryan was placing it for coverage.

    Lawler has had ups and downs but he's getting open. Mike Jones having a similar kind of day

    Preseason games are basically practices, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how the new guys perform under the lights. It's been a long time since I got a chance to sit down and watch a football game. The wobbly pops are cooling. The BBQ's been prepared.

    Also...it's training camp, not the last practise before the Grey Cup.  The primary purpose of tonight's game is to evaluate players to determine who should be on the roster.
    It's an exhibition game, it's going to have its ugly moments, the coaches will have to isolate the play of individuals from the play of the team.  There will be one or two guys on our roster who may be working at Arby's* in a month.  We're looking for the diamonds among the cubic zirconium tonight, not a lot more.

    1) I agree with the notion that having an entire offseason split between two threads makes for cumbersome reading.
    2) I remember certain members starting 10 different threads complaining about Richie Hall every time the Bombers allowed more than 20 points in a game, or starting a new topic every time a leaf fell from a tree, which was beginning to cause others to consider self-harm, and was a contributor to threads getting trimmed.
    3) Trent Corney was a bad example to pick as he hadn't dressed for the Bombers in about 10 months and if this became a topic it would have long been buried on page 4 by now.
    4) Manase Foketi not being at camp is a great example of a topic considering every person outside the Bomber organization, and perhaps a few inside the organization, thought he was on the field the entire time.
    5) While anyone can start a thread at any time, as soon as they do there are people here who demand the mods to merge it into the two main threads.
    6) The main reason I spend less time here and almost never post anymore is because of how incredibly childish adults seem to behave.  As evidenced over the last 24 hours when a simple idea was thrown out, and yes, it had been thrown out before.
    7) This is a privately-owned website maintained by volunteers, and I am getting something for nothing, and I am thankful for both the something that I get and the nothing that I have to give.  Thanks Rich and team.
    😎 But if you make 8 points you do get a free pair of sunglasses!!  I will wear them to the game Friday!!  Bomber football!!

    My recollection of the veterans exemption list is that on the few occasions it has been used previously there was always a personal reason along the lines of a serious illness in the family.

    So you're saying a starter has better stats than a back-up/special teamer?  That's mind bottling stuff, please tell us more.

    And you have 3 guys fighting for 1 job who have 3 days where their reps aren't being stolen by the 2 guys who are guaranteed jobs.  Trying to look good throwing to rookie receivers who have never seen the field goal at the front of the end zone before.  Hopefully they see it in time on that crossing route.
