Be nice to put these goofs in their place Thursday...and even more satisfying squashing the likely TSN story line and Lions tire pumping and cheer leading...I don't think the outcome will ever be in question from the opening snap

Just inexplicable roster management.

Jesus christ.... me reading all the posts about reasons people miss games.... and then it just now dawns on me thursday is the kids swimming lessons and it's their last class... and it's their absolute favourite thing.... damn weiner kids.

Lets face it- kids are just a bad investment.

Houston out… but it’s non-injury related? Hope all is well with him.

You may recall that at the time he came to Winnipeg, his daughter was hit in the leg by a random shooting in his hometown and this may relate to that.

But one of them will be a huge success and take care of dear old dad right? Right?

Hopefully she's healed and this is just something else.

This is a bit confusing… A 44 man roster?

My guess is that if Brady can't play, they'll put McCrae on, leave Brady on and have a 45-man roster. Saves them a bit on the salary cap, though it would have them essentially playing with a 44-man roster.

What we were wondering about is if Brady can play are they allowed to add Fox back in and say "that's part of our game-time decision"?

Not having that extra Dline man would be a fools game

Which is what makes me wonder if they can add Miles Fox at game time. He was able to bump out to end a couple of times vs Sask...valuable snaps to rest for Jefferson/Haba.

Is there a non-salary related reason why they wouldn’t dress Murphy even as an extra body to play a couple special teams?  Maybe planning to send him back to school?

same, and yeah seen that too...He is a bit better bumped out than Walker, and actually I think gives more push up middle as well,

Perhaps in a mafia sense, then yes.
