You can't really retire most numbers because you need so many in football... but I think there's probably a time frame there to honour some of the greats... not sure what that is, maybe 5 years?... I don't remember if #1 was issued only two seasons after Charlie left... but if it was, I would disagree with that too.... I remember being a disappointed when #97 was issued only a few years after DB retired...#85 still hasn't been issued since Milt retired.

Yeah that one puzzles me...maybe they want to be totally sure on him but from what I understood...he was right on track....maybe they just wanted to see others in TC?...who knows unless he had a lil set back....and I'm fine with that as he will be back...and makes us much better Haba...I think we are gonna n=be impressed...like his makeup in several areas...and with more time here now...should look even better...dude was here for only a minute, and made impact in the pre-season game Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't care if they use #33. I think I'd feel differently if he was with us for his whole career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlueFanatic Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Regarding Canadians on d, I thought Redha Kramdi looked pretty good in his reps last year (played fast, brought the lumber) but I believe that was at hb, and no one is taking Nichols or Parker (barring injury) out of those spots. Honestly thought the prospects/scouting were great with Rigmaiden also feeding the pipeline. Was bummed to see him jump ship after the lost 2020 season.

His cardio regimen would leave most triathletes gasping for air. 1 hour ago, Jpan85 said: They are painful and if he did get them removed it takes a bit for it to heal up. Nothing like locker rooms and sweaty socks and shoes to turn an ingrown into a bad infection. Sounds silly but yea....if he had to have some of his toenail removed you gotta wait a bit to make sure it doesn't get an infection.

Especially if it was caused by turf toe. Then to get that foot into a cleat esh that’s no fun. Biggie doesn’t need tc. I’m just glad he’s gonna be 100.

GCJenks Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Paul Friesen update on the Kenny Lawler situation, the first thing to hit me is that it isn’t a total hit job on the Bombers.

GCJenks Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hard to say if the blame can be put on the team or not. Lawless did the crime and the courts and CBSA work at their speed, not anyone else’s. Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawless did the crime and the courts and CBSA work at their speed, not anyone else’s. I think everyone involved played a role. I'm sure this could have been resolved earlier, it's probably Lawler and his lawyer who delayed it so he could play uninterrupted last season. He pled guilty 2 months ago, and both player and team seem to have been caught by this unaware. It seems like it could have been addressed immediately following the guilty plea. At the very least, the team didn't do the proper due diligence, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think it's that strong of an opinion. I know many of us will defend the Bombers organization to the death, but people make mistakes, and being that no one involved has any of the experience you just pointed out, it was probably an easy thing to overlook.

Bigblue204 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 This entire situation sucks. But I dont at all think it's hanging over the bombers. If it was literally any other position....maybe? But the team is stupid deep at rec. So Collaros will only have Demski, Schoen, wolly, Bailey and Agudosi to throw to. How will the passing attack be effective?!?!?! voodoochylde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
