Is  this site tho a state run site for news/commentary...so to speak?..Apparently I got a inappropriate language warning for saying tugger by one the "powers that be" I guess moving forward I will use "kisser"   as in kiss the ring..."bender" as in bemd the knee to....or "licker"...as in boot licker...all terms and phrases used and acceptable in mainstream media.....if you choose to think of it as something else....you know who you are...then thats your sick mind....not mine

But here's a thought....how bout a room that is for the non thin skinned benders?....make it password protected and you need it to gain entry so the easily offended cant stray into it ad be offended?

Where tugging...bending and criticism can freely flow and be discussed?...and opinions that vatu be discussed without bias?...I'll even offer to moderate and I sure there some others be nore than happy to as well, tho I doubt with how you access it there would be much need for moderation as personal attacks and bias wont really be an issue....I would even offer some more insider and out of the horses mouth info/content as well which I would never share here....how bout it?....Boss

Sorry man, you lost me here lol. Not sure what this has to do with what I posted...? Also generally insulting people with personal attack on here is what get those warnings if I'm not mistaken...I only know cause I"ve got them before too lol.

I'm not sure if you were a part of Ourbombers.com  ,   but this site is much more of a modern day "safe space"  then the old days where grown adults could bust balls and shoot from the hip without anyone having hurt feelings or take offense to a word like tugger.    When I hear tugger I picture this dude:

I don't even look at the comments on those posts. They're often "Why didn't they trade for Rourke?" "We should have signed Micah Johnson" type of barely coherent stuff....or the flip side "Jake Thomas coming back is HUGE!"

"Never read the comments below" is a sound motto to follow, doing so may lead to brain damage and a loss of faith in humanity.

I'll second this. I recall a poster who had to be spoken to several times due to his defense of Mike Kelly which led to many poor posting choices.

Right but "calls it he sees it" isn't necessarily a good thing when one's opinion is far from the truth... it just helps spread misinformation

Yes but he should wear his glasses more. Frieser is a troll dude. That’s his gimmick. Whatever anyone else says, he says the opposite. At this point I think he’s more of a local joke than anything else. He has his followers tho and that’s fine but I don’t think ppl should take what he says as being even remotely accurate. I mean 40 years of him doing this same thing no? The credibility ain’t there.

the fact that people even complain is a head shaker....I have been called names....read things I didnt really agree with on how it was worded...oh well...suck it up...dont like....block..mute...ignore...whatever...as long as threats of violence or really derogatory racist/or just wrong comments are made.....then is what it is...it's the internet and a public forum.....what would one expect?...not to be rude to people but man....grow a pair already

yup....going to the principal to complain......like cmon dude's lol

Open house at daughter’s middle school for next year last night. Ppl talking about safe spaces. Same middle school I went to and no safe spaces when I was there. Now it’s all a safe space. Didn’t even resemble the school I went to and it’s the same damn one lol. The world is a changing. Being SOFT is the new normal. It made me question what the hell we doing honestly. Same with work, if ppl had a rough 15 or 20 they can go chill in the dark room, just everything is now so overwhelming for people. It’s pretty wild.  Whatever happened to insulting the person who insulted you and then having a laugh and moving on almost immediately.

Who are the draft gurus on here cuz if being honest I’ve heard of 3 and I’m saying none of those 3 will be available at the cfl draft unless taking a flyer on a dude. Who the top 10 likely to actually not sign or be drafted in the nfl.

For sure. Yes. Some do need to show a higher level of tolerance and flexibility.

But the flip side to this is there are also some other people who believe their personality preferences are indeed a a license for their bad behaviours (it's who I am get over it) to hurt others and those people should just deal with it.

It's never as easy as you (and others) sometimes present this issue.

I'm sure you were referencing the CATS role of Rum Tum Tugger. Right? Right?

Lmao is that a serious comment? Are we forgetting who opened this place up? 

Right now we look like a 9-9 maybe 10-6 team. 

Neglect over the years on both lines of scrimmage have not been corrected this offseason either. Vaughters was a good get but dont see him turning that unit into anything more than what we saw last year. 

Lb's are mid tier. 

Secondary should still be good. 

Rec's are a question mark. 

Best set of RBS in the league. 

Zac another year older with a new OC...

Hope I'm wrong,  but right now the Bombers look half asleep going into a grey cup hosting year.

I can see the iceberg...anyone else?

This is what is so strange. I know it rarely works out, but you usually see the Grey Cup host push in all their chips. Right now we seem to be just be checking on a low pair.

YUP! Same as every year…

Bellyaching because we didn't make wild offers and upset the balance of paying the rest of the team well… And we are finally making all the changes we were bellyaching about not doing earlier. Booch continues his personal vendetta against Michael O'Shea. We probably deserve Mr. Friesen of the Sun.  Now we have someone else to shut Idown.

There's nothing wrong with Zach Collaros if he has a real offensive line. We saw what happened to the Kansas City Chiefs when they got handled in the trenches. Neither Kyle Walters nor Michael O'Shea are acting like ostriches. We have draftees and more importantly a good recruiting program so we can actually get three more quality linemen before the season opens.

Our rushing program will be excellent. And that will set up our passing game. Our defensive coaches is fantastic. Most importantly of all we run ourselves like a professional organization and we will definitely not be shooting ourselves in the foot.

We will be more conservative in terms of not turning the ball over and taking stupid penalties. That's part of the culture that has developed here.

Not one of us really knows who the top four in the playoffs will be this year. Were just guessing like everybody else. If it was all about money than Hamilton should be in the Grey Cup but we've seen that movie before.

We will have a good football club and we can continue to curse the Roughriders. The beer is the best and the crowd is amazing ... Our QBing will be good enough, not great, not horrible and we have a new apprenticeship program we can argue about. Yeah they have potential.

The grey cup Winner will be a sound club who gets a little bit lucky… Same as every other year. Unless of course the league's brain trust has already awarded the Cup to Toronto. Nothing new there either.

We all want to sound intelligent but one of the few ways we can do that is by keeping our mouth shut. If we really think things through there is a real possibility that a few of us might come across as either slightly smart or very good-looking.

Gold Bombers Go !!!
