Sorry but I don't like the total silence coming out of Bomberville, but that's just me; I like action and news  like all of you.  Yes we've extended a contract or two and we are distributing the year-end money before the 2018 salary cap  comes in.

But what are the deep thinkers in our organization planning to do?

 I hope they are not thinking status quo; that never seems to work out well. Unless we are dedicated to making sharp improvements here and there, I believe we atrophy from last year.  

After the 2017 NFL cuts were made did we bring in any linebackers for a sniff? I saw other prospects up here but maybe I missed something.

We have got to fix what's broken and I think somehow management must know more than we do ... we are good prognosticators with our comments on this site but I would like management to show us up. 

We are not hearing a lot of news out of the Calgary and Edmonton football clubs so maybe our Blue Bombers are an elite club now (as we join those two in their silence). 

But man I hate twiddling my thumbs as I wait to see what our local gurus are going to do. No news is bad news, say the bored ...  Well at least were not coming off seasons like Ottawa Hamilton and Montréal had.

So maybe I should be grateful for our club and its management.

NFL disagrees. Hes a good player but... Not sure hes NFL material. Maybe he just doesn't have the drive needed to play NFL. Its not like hes a guaranteed starter down there. 

So you don't think he's worth a look in an NFL training camp?

Well i dont own an NFL team so i can only go on what i know... And that is... He hasn't had any NFL workouts so i guess to answer the question... No. I don't. Cuz 32 professionals who do it for a living doesn't think he does

Just saw that, what a class act.

They need to remake that Age of Aquarius song to The Age of Adarious and play it when he scores a TD. 

Between the price of the contract, rejecting the Riders and the undoubted motivation  after a down year,  I totally love this signing.  Sounds like he’s really grown as a person and is intent on delivering a heck of a season for Bombers fans.

Instead of the wave everyone could just hold hands and ‘ohm’

Pretty much expected, Bond is probably asking for a pretty hefty raise this season. It sounds like we'll be starting another cdn on the o-line.

Finally Lefevour will have a chance to hit something achievable for him.

**** sakes...If Bowman doesn't suck, that guy's gonna make a fan out of me. I hate it......

Is Walters' press conference over already?

I don't blame you, every time I think about Bowman it instantly reminds me of Kamau Incompleterson, I feel like we can all move on from this with some group therapy sessions (touchdowns).

Buurrrnnnnn 

On top of what he does on the field he's great off the field and in the community.

Back in Blue

Riders I screwed

 

.... this is way more work than I thought it would be, someone else finish it

Adarius's interview was awesome, what a great, humble guy. Super impressed with the way he has matured since his time here.

I like this signing, especially for $140K. Bowman's a proven big, deep threat, receiver who is way better than Denmark who he is replacing. He'll drop a couple a game and we need to feed him the ball a lot, especially  right after a drop. Adams, Bowman, Dressler, Young Guy, NI are a pretty good receiving corps. If Nichols finds his deep ball accuracy, we should be able to score from anywhere on the field.

Folks minds are blown when I like a signing?  

Where were these when I liked all the other signings except Hall and Durant?

The guy excels at those 8 yard passes that he catches and then adds another 10 - 15 yards after...  I'd imagine he would work well with Nichols since they played together for 3 or so seasons.

This is exactly what we've been missing in our offense. They would have liked to see Thorpe or Givens take over that role but now we have a guy we know can do it. Hopefully this reduces the hits that Dressler needs to take. 

So Bowman's rejection of a higher salary with the Riders confirms what many of us have suspected - there is a premium that needs to be paid by any pro Saskatchewan teams to convince players to sign there.  Guess it makes sense, lower standard of living and all that...
