    Jesse got a reaction from blitzmore in 3 stars plus HH broken esks streak edition   
    I'm going to do the unobvious guys (Matt and Andrew go without saying)
    1. Randle: In the post-game show, Walby and Westwood said they could not give Randle their "defensive player of the game" award because no one throws his way. Well guess what dinguses, that means the CB is performing exactly the way he should. Randle never gets his due, but in the past three games has a FR for a TD, a sack, and an INT. All-Star who will never be recognized for it league wide.
    2. Thorpe: Really comes on strong late in games for first downs and, like everyone else last night, was piling on the YAC.
    3. Paul LaPolice: The guy has been crapped on around here and TEP for a long time. Even people going so far as to question the offence will Khari and Milt. But the guy is creative, matches perfectly with Matty and Andrew and co. and is having a steller season. I've been putting some thought into it, and it's possible we may not see any HC changes this off season, so maybe we even get to keep Paul around.
    HH: Flanders: I feel guilty for even thinking it, but I've often wondered what could be if we didn't have Andrew Harris at RB. Now, I don't need to wonder because we're getting the best of both. Fladers' contract has to be up at the end of this season, but I wonder if there's any way this two-back system can be carried forward, and if it could continue to be this successful.

    A little insight into this...It is..or was very common in college ranks to use them to gain the edge, and under the right conditions, monitoring and proper cycling isn't as harmful as it is made out to be.
    I can attest to the fact that programs subtly "encouraged " the use, or hinted that in order to progress and play that it may be an option. Many programs, and I have seen it first hand almost go as far as to telling you where to get it, and actually have medical personnel and a lot of times med students help administer it to guys who were too scared to inject themselves, if they were not taking it orally. It was much safer to inject as to ingest as the toxin elements of some  only have to pass through your liver once then, being less taxing on the organ. 
    I will also say and admit that I dabbled in the use as well, it was do what was needed or be left behind. It is as advertised and is definitely a performance enhancer and helps in healing and recovery (the one initial reason why I went on a cycle) 
    My bench press went up by about 180 pounds in a months time and , I grew from about 235-240 to a high of 282 pounds at my biggest and ran about a 4.65 forty at a playing weight of about 255-265 pounds. Never had any negative effects and wasn't a contributing factor in my injuries, but I wasn't an abuser and went for regular liver functions tests, blood tests and the likes to monitor things. also done wisely you keep most of the gains if you stop it properly and to this day I still weigh in around 260-265
    The instances where you hear about deaths assumed to be caused by them are the chronic user/abusers who never go off, take extremely ridiculous amounts of many different types, both human and veterinarian types  and  they pay for it in the end...mainly bar starts, and the professional body builder types.
    It's just silly the douchers who use it strictly for vanity and ego type things...athletically tho...you will never be free of it and sadly..especially in the U.S it's way to prevalent in the High school ranks..this type of stuff should never be used until the body has already physically matured and I would say that is early to mid twenties

    Agree, agree agree. It used to be you could hold your ground. Now, you can draw a penalty.
    Its ludicrous and has to be changed.
    I'm holding my ground on this one...

    What a ridiculous rule eh?  Watson literally tossed Heath to the turf, I could see it if he ran into Heath but it was a full on shove.
    Only in the CFL.  Not applied that way in amateur football.  Everyone is entitled to their cylinder (shoulder width field to sky) and position.

    They really have to do something about those illegals contact. Watson ran right into Heath. It should have been a penalty on Watson for interference.. It seems like it was planned.

    Can't disagree with any of these choices but I'd also like to mention TJ Thorpe.  He is the perfect receiver for the Lapolice offence.  He actually gets those first downs on the short throws.  I love watching that guy play.

    Despite?  LaPolice called a great game. The Eskimos were unsteady for most of the game with tempo and play calling.  It was no accident this offence got  38 first downs.
    38...

    So I'm working outside this morning when Wade Miller cruises by. I, decked out in Bomber gear, cheer and wave like the shameless fan boy I am. He stops and asks me if I have tix. I say I wish. An hour later Wade's assistant hand delivers me and my coworkers tix to tonight's game. What a cool frikken guy.
    Thank you Wade! Thank you Bombers! I know you just gained a few fans for sure. Can't wait to get to the stadium and lose my **** as always

    We scored three TDs. Two through the air and one by Flanders to close out the game.
    It's hardly the days of getting one TD every other game. Remember Buck Pierce's best season of his Bomber career in 2011? He scored 14 TDs. Matt's already at 13.

    I think LaPo holds him back with the dinking & dunking throws underneath that just do not extend drives.

    Some Rider fans may beg to differ, Lol
    This is a quote over there on whether the Riders can beat the Bombers; "If Winnipeg is the team that played tonight, then, absolutely we'll beat them. They don't look nearly as good as their record and the Riders aren't as bad as theirs."

    It doesn't matter if $15,000 would be a great paycheque for a person in poverty.  When someone offers you a drastically higher payday than what you're getting, do you sit there and say "Oh well I'm already doing better than a poor person, why do I need even more?"  Nobody thinks like that and it would be absurd to expect someone to.

    True.
    Mike Reilly got his shot late in life (He was 28 first season in Edmonton) and is really coming into his own. No reason why Matt, who is in his first season as a starter, can't continue to grow his game the way Reilly has.

    Don't care, don't see any need to come up with the perfect category for everything that happens everywhere.
    Internet and 24 hour sports channels have turned have made hyperbole commonplace and routine to the point where no one even thinks to call it out anymore.
    Game 1 of the CFL season, Rod Black already anointed something as the catch of the year.  Game freaking 1.
    Every QB in this league has some strengths and weaknesses.  Different coaches, different systems, different receivers, different Olines.  Swap them out to different teams and you will get different results.
    Nichols is playing well and we don't need to actively be seeking a replacement.  Can't say that every year.  So among Bomber QBs this decade, he's definitely elite.

    Jesse reacted to SpeedFlex27 in Is Now The Time???   
    I can't believe they can't find ownership or the will to build a stadium &  put a team in Halifax.  IThe Laval owner (yes they have an owner) would never allow a CFL team to use their stadium... They'd have to build a new one for any team in QC. I don't think there's the political will in the Province of Quebec to do that. They already built a hockey arena in QC to get the NHL back with no luck so far & there's a huge push to finance a new baseball stadium in Montreal to get MLB back. The CFL is low in priority.
