Yeah, real nice to see a young player buying into the Walters / O'Shea program, even if it costs him some $$ in the short term. Great to see. (I'd never criticize a practice player for bouncing on us but I'll sure cheer when one says he'll stay) Edited August 10, 2017 by johnzo Mark H., Noeller, Atomic and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless he wants to give some credentials as to why he should be considered a source. Or alternatively, establish a track record over time that he can be considered trustworthy even without presenting credentials. So far, I will only give him credit for being reasonably intelligent and knowledgeable about football, and does not show noticeable signs of frequent meth usage. Booch is great Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid I had to mow acres of grass for my old man. I had a riding mower for the last couple of years I did it, but I still hated it. Out getting baked by the sun, uselessly cutting a plant that was just going to grow back anyway...it was stupid. Funny thing ... fifteen years later, a buddy needed help running a riding mower, getting his backyard in shape for his wedding, I did it, and it was strangely relaxing and satisfying. Man, getting old is weird. Edited August 11, 2017 by johnzo Noeller and SPuDS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the very few people on here that you can trust, for sure... I'm pretty monogamous on the internets; never spent much time at OB. TEP for many years, then a divorce. After some healing, I was ready for a relationship again. Happily been on MBB for a few years. Won't see me straying over to Riderfans the first moment boredom sets in. Monogamous.

Waste of a training camp spot. Went by the name of Terrence Edwards. I'm amazed I even remember his name. That guy was totally useless.

Atomic Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Lions, confirmed http://3downnation.com/2017/08/12/bombers-canadian-ol-decides-stay-lions-attempt-get/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+JustinDunk3downnation+(3+Down+Nation-Justin+Dunk+) Offensive lineman Qadr Spooner turned down the B.C. Lions in order to stay in Winnipeg. The Lions tried to claim the 25-year-old off the practice roster, but he stayed with the Bombers for loyalty reasons. Winnipeg drafted Spooner and have a plan for his development, plus the coaches there are high on him. Spooner measures six-foot-four, 309 pounds and brings a nasty, relentless playing style to the field – a trait Mike O’Shea covets. Winnipeg felt fortunate to land him in the second round, 15th overall in the 2017 CFL draft. He was a conference all-star coming out of McGill University. Winnipeg has Matthias Goossen (starting centre), Sukh Chungh (starting right guard), Patrick Neufeld (backup tackle or guard), and Michael Couture (backup centre) on the roster, which has allowed the Bombers the luxury of time to teach Spooner the pro nuances. Then when he gets on the gameday roster he’ll be properly prepared and ready. TBURGESS, Tracker and wbbfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
