if you're on a laptop/desktop, hover over their name and ignore user is in the window that pops up.

guess we extended it in January of this year, forgot about that, so yeah, he's probably 200+

Regardless of passport, how many American RB in the league would you take over Harris? His first bombers contract was rumored to be in the 175-200 range, not sure about his extension. Honestly I can't see paying any American RB near that number, but with how important Harris (and his passport) are to the team, he's worth it. No question quality NI make a nice premium over imports of the same position

At the time of the signing it was reported as being $190,000 in the Sun

It might not be as bad as it looks. There are a few teams driving overall attendance. None of them had a home game in week 4. If you make a very basic model of home attendance based on the first 4 weeks and apply it the overall schedule it would predict the following for the season. It doesn't look good, however the very basic assumption i made on home cities driving attendance expected week 3 and 4 to be the worst attendance, then go back up through the season and drop again in week 10. I'm curious to see what the actual results will be. But if week 5 has poorer results than week 4, then I'd be worried. Week 1 - highest attendance week Week 2 - down 0.5% (actual up 2%) Week 3 - down 19% from week 2 (actual down 28%) Week 4 - down 20% from week 3 (actual down 32%) Week 5 - up 11% from week 4 Week 6 - up 11% from week 5 Week 7 - up 7% from week 6 Week 8 - up 4% from week 7 Week 9 - up 7% from week 8 Week 10 - down 14% from week 9

One of these guys looks like an athlete. The other looks like he's been eating too many cheeseburgers. Both are rich athletes

extended alexander, bighill, bryant, hardrick, jeffcoat, medlock. If we signed those calibre of player in free agency people would be building a shrine to walters

I think Kevin Glenn should finish his career by making bomber fans happy one more time. That's right, sign a deal in Saskatchewan, with a big signing bonus, then retire.

I was right in the center of town, with like 5 churches within a 5 minute walk

double post

Melsted rings no bells. Grimolfsons absolutely. We used to watch a Grimolfsons dog when they'd go away. Duecks, Johnson, Gubjartson, Kornelsen, Erickson, Zagozewski, Einarson. Lots of names that would ring bells, I honestly can't place a single Melsted.

I've been gone too long. From Riverton and don't get either reference

Interesting thread. I'll observe more than participate. I got into football in the Milt era, so I know I don't have the knowledge to contribute. However I'm interested to see how the thread goes and how some of my favorites rank. Doug Brown - one of the guys who got me into football other than Milt, how does he rank? Charles Roberts/Mike Sellers - loved watching those guys in action, curious how they do all time for the bombers Stegall - ok this one isn't a discussion Khari Jones - just kidding, I hated him (waits for 17to85 to lose his ****) But for me, Brown/Stegall were the players who got me into football

Is the appropriate thread offseason news because it's an Argos position, or bomber offseason news because it impacts our OC? Discuss..... Side note: I considered adding a popcorn emoji, then I clicked the emoji button on here that I've never clicked because I don't really use them, and holy **** are there way too may. I'm old and i miss the 1999 MSN messenger Emoticon (as they were called then) selection. Second Side note: I say I'm old, but man a lot of the people I have blocked on this site for being crotchety old men are at least 25 years older than me, so I guess I'm a young guy in an old white guys league as speedflex/iso would say

It's hard to evaluate Dickenson, he took over a winning team. He had to sustain what was already in place. O'Shea has had to redefine a culture and build something. I loved Dickenson the QB, every time I hear Dickenson the coach on the sidelines I lose more and more respect for him. I wouldn't want Dickenson, Maas or Jones over O'Shea.

Will be on my couch in Edmonton. Drinks are free (Courtesy of a Rider fan who lost a bet), couch is comfy, TV is large, and my backup is in Hawaii so I can't get out of Monday work.

yet most on here want O'Shea gone based on the last few months.....

It's Lapo's wifes name

I've never understood this logic. I won't dispute that who the coaches are may matter to some of the more hardcore fans (who will likely continue to ***** but still go to games). For the casual fan I don't necessarily agree that it matters. I didn't grow up a football fan, there were no options to play football in the small town I grew up in. I became a fan because of Milt Stegall, Charles Roberts, Doug Brown. Even a guy like Jamie Stoddard had a bigger impact on me than Dave Ritchie. In the years since I've been on the fire Paul Lapolice bandwagon (on that bandwagon for the 3rd time). I've never considered not watching a game because Lapolice sucks at his job, although I have turned a few off early in frustration at the playcalling. I like Mike O'Shea, while also thinking he has made some pretty bad decisions. I've watched the Bombers play in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Ottawa. I wondered if traveling to those games was worth it sometimes when key players have been hurt and not playing. I never wondered if it was worth it because of who the coach was. I could be wrong, but I don't foresee a severe negative or positive reaction in regards to ticket sales because of who the head coach is. The win/loss record perhaps, but not who the coach is. If O'shea wants to bring both coordinators back next season, then I'll light my pitchfork and march with everyone else. If he's going to switch up the coordinators, I'd gamble another season on him. But regardless I'll be watching the games.

I've never thought Lapo is the right OC for any offense. This was confirmed by trying to look at something of his on twitter and finding out he has me blocked, so I must have pissed him off during one of his previous stints here.

how many times did Cahoon get drilled on a first down conversion on a crossing route from calvillo. I seem to remember Cahoon catching suicide passes being a big part of that offense

The incumbent is Richie Hall.......

wasn't he our safety his first season here? *edit* and top d player nominee as safety https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/blue-bombers-sign-safety-maurice-leggett-to-contract-extension-1.2864329

So what you're saying is, 8 is more than 7?

You'd appreciate my comment more if you grew up in the 90's playing Oregon Trail. God damn dysentery always gets you. Was a tongue in cheek joke about the computer game
