Fair enough on both points... 

 

 

curious thought.... BLM has been on record saying he wants to finish his career in Calgary... If Cgy mgmt goes to him in the offseason and says Maier is our guy going forward but we'd love to have you on as a back up at, let's say 200k... dose Bo go for it or does he decide to play somewhere else for starters money?... He could probably get paid like a starter in Toronto, Ottawa, or even Sask or Hamilton

I think it'll be a lot like Andrew Harris . If he still wants to play, it'll have to be as the star attraction and not a back up or rotational role. I don't think they willingly take that cut or reduced role. Not often players make the final decision on their careers, it's teams making the decisions for them, and father time remains undefeated in football careers.

Mitchell finished his career last year. He's just hanging around now.

Less than 4 hours now.... Just an update in case anyone was concerned.... The beer has not gone bad at LBJ or Kilter... We'll check on Stone Angel on the way to the game, just to be sure..........

or they ordered when they first came out, realized their mistake and were to embarrassed to go pick it up.

I saw a tweet a while back that read something like‘ I often feel younger than I am until I start doing something’. lol.

Tell that to a liver that cheers for both the Bombers and Jets.

It’s always a nice feeling on game day to crack open your first beverage of the day. I know it makes me sound like an alcoholic but I assure you I am not, alcoholics admit they have a problem! 

 

Why you gotta do it, Willie! 😂

She’d probably love a pink Bomber ball cap and the stick-on tattoos more. 

She's got the pink hat already lol

That's right, on game day you don't hold back.

Let's do this.

 

LET’S GOOOOOO

Btw imho the triple helmet strip with the classic home uni is f!!cking siiiiick

Hello everyone. Does the Emperor wear clothes or not? Tonight we find out. On the other hand no BLM so we should win regardless.

Like seeing the run game doing well again.

Bombers wearing “enhanced” stripes on the helmet tonight.

Great cut back by Brady.

Historically, teams coming off a bye have not done well, and Maier has looked competent in his time on the field, so this is not gonna be a "gimme".
