Putting picks into the spreadsheet this week is going to be really easy.

Deeisms - IVIGing 👁‍🗨I have a hard time believing Collaros will be QBing a team to another 12-4 record this season. And that’s playing 16 games.. 👁‍🗨BC doesn’t have a bonafide centre as yet. Maybe we can take advantage of that this Saturday. Learning to snap properly, then blocking on our DLine will be challenging. 👁‍🗨If Masoli gets protection this season, Hamilton has an easier path to 1st place in the East 👁‍🗨Derel Walker gives the Argos a chance to compete this year. Him and the fact they play in the same division as Ottawa and Montreal 👁‍🗨 The Montreal Alouettes have listed Antonio Pipkin as the No. 1 quarterback on the team’s depth chart. And named the 23-year-old Pipkin the starting QB. Unless,of course, that changes right before the game. 👁‍🗨Forgeti Foketi. We have to. 👁‍🗨Figures that WR Josh HUFF made the Stampeders 👁‍🗨Congratulations to Matt Dunigan - One of North America's great quarterbacks, former @LATechFB star @MattDuniganTSN went on to become a @CFL Hall of Famer. He now joins ours! #Classof2019 - Louisiana Hall of Fame 👁‍🗨Europeans who made the cut: Active Roster: Max Zimmermann (Germany) – Saskatchewan Roughriders Thiadric Hansen (Germany) – Winnipeg Blue Bombers Kimi Linnainmaa (Finland) – Toronto Argonauts Maxime Rouyer (France) – Edmonton Eskimos Practice Roster - Valentin Gnahoua (France) – Hamilton Tiger-Cats

And I wonder, can they actually find someone worse than Trump? At this point, I say anything is possible in the USA. Republicans would vote for Whitey Bulger if he was their candidate. It bothers me to hear people in the media talking about Trump as though anything he said makes sense or is based in reality. That is truly sickening. Why doesn't someone ask him why Kim's man, the negotiator Trump posed with in N Korea, is now in a Prison camp? and the others, executed.

Without fail here are the worst pre-season predictions in the league from the one and only Rod Pederson West Division 1. Calgary Stampeders 2. B.C. Lions 3. Edmonton Eskimos 4. Saskatchewan Roughriders 5. Winnipeg Blue Bombers East Division 1. Hamilton Tiger-Cats 2. Toronto Argonauts 3. Ottawa Redblacks 4. Montreal Alouettes

If TBurg isn't going to be a contrarian, who is? I'd change one of my picks if the system allowed it. A few years ago that was an option.

Shamawd Chambers, Devon Bailey, Rashaun Simonese, Kito Poblah, these guys remind me of that singing frog. GM's can't believe their good fortune when they stumble upon Natl. receivers with such outstanding measurables and athletic talent.....but eventually after they under-perform they decide to put them back in the box and skulk away.

Rod Black's gonna love that...

It didn't work out here. It is not a knock if he goes on to reach his potential somewhere else. Sometimes that is what it takes to get a guy in the right frame of mind to be successful.

I think that the bolded part actually explains what happened. Bennett had three years CFL experience and yet, there was little to choose between his play and a guy fresh out of college. Also, bear in mind that last year Bennett was beaten out by another player fresh out of college. I think that the Bombers might be thinking that Bennett doesn't have a ton of ceiling left and what you see is pretty much what you're going to get.

Pedersen literally goes out of his way to put us last every year. We live in his head rent free and it's great.

Well i for 1 was not surprised when a kid fresh from the US of A comes in at 23 and does the things McGuire did you have to look at his potential to be the next starting Qb for us...Bennett has had what 3 years now? 2 teams? Its all about potential at 3 and McGuire has that in spades.

After he was voted in despite the "grab em buy the *****" tape- I am not shocked at all by anything there.

Can't go wrong with Coombs as depth

Lucky took #7 shocking lol

Bladek is an ol. Not really fair to judge him on his tackle totals...

LOL totally forgot about old Joe sitting right in the middle of this mess, at home in his comfort spot.

Getting rid of a half assed micro manager who isnt good at managing any thing (including putting on and taking off a mic) Khari called his own plays here for a good while. I trust him far more to call plays then sherman.

"... constitutes multiple crimes of Obstruction of Justice ... supported by evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

I agree but I would keep both Miller and Simonese over Rush, I'd love to see a positional depth chart of ST to get a better understanding of the roles they play. Hansen will contribute as well taking up a spot on ST's.

This article makes a very good point, the term "climate change" should be changed to "climate crisis" as the effects are being felt right now. British newspaper takes lead in reframing climate change discussion https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/climate-change-journalism-language-guardian-cbc-1.5166678

1 in 4 believe God was driving. JFC... This might be a HUGE part of the problem? I guess it's better to attribute CC to something and believe in CC than not to believe in CC... but still... wow.

If you're on his website or visit it, shame on you. He's a professional troll. That's it. End of story. The only way hes going away is for people to ignore him. His website wants clicks, stop giving them to him.

I honestly think Coombs is a slightly better version of Demski... you just never know how many games you'll actually get from Coombs... history suggests not very many...

That image of Mr Sherman fumbling to get his headset off and revealing his mid section for what seemed like an hour on national television will forever be burnt into my mind. I don't know what is worse though...the fact that the camera man just kept focusing in on this or the fact that I didn't look away and just kept watching the horror unfold on the HD image in front of me. That is how I will remember Mike Sherman.

Right now Streveller has attained his "Lefevour" level which is infinitely useful, but it's up to him to take it higher.

You know, around this time of year, before the season starts, I seem to forget what a total brain dead, laughing stock, biased, POS Rod Pederson is but then without fail he'll come out with something like this and it all comes flooding back....

Another one to file under: "Of course it does." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jun/10/tree-planted-to-mark-trump-macron-friendship-dies

Let me guess. He is predicting a Saskatchewan crossover? Seems like your standard unbiased Rider Fan prediction.

Coombs is still on 26. I was surprised by that. Seems like he's been around forever...

'We All Owe Al Gore An Apology': More People See Climate Change In Record Flooding Angel Portillo doesn't think about climate change much. It's not that he doesn't care. He just has other things to worry about. Climate change seems so far away, so big. Lately though, Portillo says he has been thinking about it more often. Standing on the banks of a swollen and surging Arkansas River, just upriver from a cluster of flooded businesses and homes, it's easy to see why. "Stuff like this," he says, nodding at the frothy brown waters, "all of the tornadoes that have been happening — it just doesn't seem like a coincidence, you know?" And yet: In late May and early June, NPR asked nearly two dozen people in Oklahoma and Arkansas who were experiencing the ongoing flooding about climate change. All of them said they believed that the climate was changing, even if they didn't directly associate the raining and floods with it or agree on the cause. (Six people said they believed God was driving the change.) https://www.npr.org/2019/06/08/730456004/more-people-see-climate-change-in-record-floods-and-extreme-weather-will-that-me

It is unfortunate how true this statement is.

Lol ya this aged very well..

Never been impressed with Coombs. But looking at his mediocre career stats - he's a better bet than Demski.

Coombs would be an immediate upgrade over Simonise and wouldn't necessarily have to stay healthy. So I guess he's got that going for him

Go away.

for instance The Oil company did not stop the leak, the coast guard did. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/16/724164873/oil-spill-seeping-into-gulf-of-mexico-contained-after-14-years-coast-guard-says and also..... https://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/2010/07/27000_abandoned_oil_and_gas_we.html

Now we know the real reason Simonise was released... Chris Mathews #13 😁

Als1977 had a good response. No one is over the hill. You will get old too. Show some respect.

With Collaros as your QB, you need an OL that are good at tackling.

What a great kid. Cousin Zach will be fondly remembered as the greatest Bomber in history. The Ring of Honour awaits.

Why can't Petermann be a great receiver ? Because he doesn't look like Simonise? Even though he has done great every chance he has had? How ridiculous. I like Simonise and would have liked to see him stick, but he has not shown enough to think he is a star in waiting.

Oh, yeah, Sherman was holding them back. Everything is fine now.

Likely the combination of cutting Hakeem Johnson and Shaq Hill that caused the confusion.

Who knows how some of these guys are in the locker and or responding to the coaches. I'll give the coaches the benefit. Peterman seems to be the real deal. I hope he gets a bunch of targets this season.

Simonise is interesting to follow. Most of his actual tweets are about football but 90% of the time that he turns up on my timeline, it's because he's retweeted a tweet from some rather attractive young black lady who's showing off at being a rather attractive young black lady. Interesting 😉.

Want to thank @TrueBlue4ever for putting the effort in doing this throughout the off season. Not a small amount of work, and very much appreciated to give us all something else to talk about during a long off season.

Final roster. Mount Rushmore is Stegall, Walby, Ploen, and Grant.
