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.

 

I just keep hearing "Ho-Merrrr" in my head....so funny...God, I hope he turns out to be awesome. 

At some point in TC, I hope Flanders catches a ball against Homer in coverage and then chrips him... To which Homer replies, "Shut up, Flanders."

100% guaranteed to happen.

 

They're both white guys in their 40's, right?

So every time there is a blown coverage, are we going to hear a loud "DOH!!" from the field?

No end of comedic possibilities here. Can't wait. To add a somber note, we are going to going into the new season with a defensive coordinator who is controversial (to put it mildly) and the likelihood of the same linebacking concerns as last year. Yes, Muamba is still hovering there, just out of reach but not sight, but if we have to suffer with Hall again, we desperately need a major upgrade at MLB plus either Leggett bouncing back to his old form or a clone of him.

Ed Tait did a write up on each one of them

Is having Homer and Flanders on the same team Corney or Wild?

If only you got a Nichols for every pun you made... you'd be rich.

Dimanche is a great, great athlete. Its gonna be fun when one of these type of guys finally click for us. 

Prewitt. The guy can hit, but he still wraps up and attacks the ball really well.

Streveler is interesting. A big strong dual threat qb, who is a touch passer. Throws very catchable passes, and has a very quick release. Not the prettiest passes, clearly head and shoulders better then the teams he played.

Flanders is actually 60, but he looks younger due to clean living, chewing thoroughly, and a daily dose of Vitamin Church.

I beg of you, don't take him to Vegas.

It'd have to be pretty loud to be heard over 29,000 people in the stands saying the same thing.

So Phillip Nelson (6'1 220, 24 yrs old)

Nelson played two years for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers and later finished his collegiate career with the East Carolina University Pirates. At ECU, Nelson posted career passing numbers throwing for 2,621 yards and 16 touchdowns at a 68% completion rate.

One might argue that the bombers have employed a great many POS qbs over the years.

Well played, but I'm not sure that point would even be arguable.

Not sure if he's caught on with a new team yet, but Denmark just tweeted:

To all the bomber fans I hope I brought you joy and entertainment at some point throughout my time. Thank you all for your support. #Denny

I was looking for the retirement announcement TBH 

So many players could learn a thing or two from Clarence about being a professional on and off the field. The guy never lets his emotions or frustration get the better of him regardless if he’s is getting a raw deal or not. Always classy. 

When's the Henoc signing,  come on blue.
