delayed response to this... I agree with you and think they are both very good receivers... but on top of that, they are true Mike O'Shea guys... they take their role and give 100% on every play... they put the team success ahead of their personal success... when Bailey scored that TD in the GC (which we all know was called back) all he did was celebrate that they're going to win... not his personal accolades... Another quick story... after the parade, my friend and I went our separate ways and he happened to run across Lawler doing an impromptu autograph session... Lawler had a friend there saying "it's cold, let's go" (obviously paraphrasing)... and Lawler refused to leave saying the weather was fine and it's all about the fans... he wouldn't leave until they all got an autograph... These are the kind of players we want on this team...

There is a lot of sensationalist bullcrap in that article. I would count that maybe half of that holds any merit. But half of it being true isn't great for the league, either. It mentions Wade Miller running the league, and in the same breath talks about presidents not taking any paycuts. https://3downnation.com/2020/04/16/bombers-cut-payroll-wade-miller-kyle-walters-mike-oshea-included/ He mentions the Riders budget in how they bring in 30 million dollars in revenues and how they ended up losing money. Don't the Riders disclose their finances just like us? It's not like 30 million goes directly in their pockets. There are costs. The kicker was when they spent 2 million dollars on the Grey Cup that didn't happen. The margins in the CFL are fairly thin. If you're going to throw a bunch of **** out there, you might want to make sure a whole bunch of it isn't proven false.

Anyone could see just how bad their quarterbacking was.

I'm sure there are some good players in the XFL. But they were picking from a pool of players that were already 1. Not in the NFL and 2. Not in the CFL . So I really wouldn't be making such bold claims.

Bertans, Arizia, Bradley so far in the NBA.

I've been saying this since they released the schedule of the games. Most are super boring games. It's like TSN can't help but **** up most things CFL.

Saw Ken Burns last night, a respected historian, say “I think we’re in the middle of an enormous reckoning right now in which anxieties and the pains and the torments are bubbling up to the surface. It’s very important for people like me, of my complexion, to be as quiet as possible and to listen.” Said another way less eloquently, Matt Gaetz, sit down, stfu, and really listen.

White dude is tired of being held down.

Yup, it just sorta trickled down......

Doesn't change the fact that saint Reagan started a lot of the current republican crap.

Here’s one response: Good answer Betty

Good work by all involved.

Not to mention the fact when have guys like Gaetz been quiet?

My thoughts too. Wish they would just rip the band aid off and officially cancel the season. Ask the Gov for funds to keep the league a float. And start planning for 2021 which will still be heavily impacted by COVID.

Despite being a downtrodden, oppressed white guy......still feel special. These white "victim" types need to get out and look around more often....

Pro teams can’t even get to organized Training Camps and guys are testing positive....how do they think this ever works. Then you have football with a 1 ya LOS...guys huffing and puffing....how sensible is that?

With all respect I can muster, I don’t care what Lindsey Graham has to say about anything. Since his turn to the dark side, he has cemented his place in history. Him siding with logic, reason and fact at this stage carries no weight.

Lindsey Graham breaks with Trump over Obama attack: "I don’t know what he’s talking about" Graham rejects Trump’s claim Obama is guilty of treason. In a recent interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network, President Donald Trump was asked specifically what crime President Barack Obama committed as part of the vague conspiracy narrative the president calls "Obamagate." Trump responded, "treason." But on Tuesday, Politico reported that the president's staunchest Republican allies in the Senate aren't willing to back him up on this — including Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "I don't know what he's talking about," said Graham. "I don't have any evidence to believe he committed treason." https://www.salon.com/2020/06/24/lyndsey-graham-breaks-with-trump-over-obama-attack-i-dont-know-what-hes-talking-about_partner/

LORD HELP US: GOP House Candidate Insists George Floyd Killing Was Staged Winnie Heartstrong has put out a 23-page document laying out a series of incoherent conspiracy theories about Floyd’s death. She’s likely to be the party’s nominee. A Republican House candidate in Missouri has published her own half-baked report claiming that the video of George Floyd’s death—which has sparked nationwide protests to end the racial inequities in the criminal-justice system—is, in fact, a staged “false flag.” Winnie Heartstrong, a candidate running for the St. Louis congressional seat held by Lacy Clay (D-MO), has pushed conspiracy theories about Floyd’s death for nearly a month on Twitter. In late May, a video featuring Heartstrong claiming that “George Floyd is alive” circulated among far-right Twitter accounts and received more than 100,000 views.

Border Collies- so awesome.

File this one under... holy crap

I suspect that the GOP political calculus is that because **** rolls downhill fast in America, it's not the GOP voters who are going to suffer the most from this, it'll be poorer browner people. And the GOP shrugs at school shootings; they're not going to care about a couple hundred thousand excess coughing deaths. Plus shutting down the economy costs rich people money and encourages government intervention. Neither of these are big wins with the GOP. So their reaction is tragic and predictable. We will see whether this holds up with voters.

god we better not get so much of the weasel https://tvline.com/2020/06/24/muppets-now-trailer-celebrity-guests-rupaul-aubrey-plaza-disney-plus/

However:

Nice try Repugnants.

"No American should ever be unjustly targeted by their government" Kayleigh McEnany (@PressSec Interesting form of satire, there...

"All Americans are entitled to equal justice under the law and due process. " Oh Yeah, like so many other defendants that pleaded guilty (TWICE) and the POtuS steps in to have the charges dropped. Happens all the... never- FFS...

Not that surprising. Fix was in with Trump/Barr

Rudy Giuliani on Fox News: "Black Lives Matter wants to come and take your house away from you". "Yep," Fox News host Laura Ingraham responded Rudy Giuliani, the former spokesman for identity theft protection service LifeLock, told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in a Monday interview that the Black Lives Matter social justice movement "wants to come and take your house away from you." https://www.salon.com/2020/06/23/rudy-giuliani-on-fox-news-black-lives-matter-wants-to-come-and-take-your-house-away-from-you/

Thought this might have been about Hub cities.

Some of these Republican Governors need to be called onto the carpet, what they have done in Texas, Utah, Florida and Arizona is criminal

Trump and his campaign continue to unravel and beat the drums of racism and lies.

Interesting...

‘Born-again Karen’: Top Trump campaign attorney mocked for suggesting ‘they’ are trying to ‘cancel Christianity’ Jenna Ellis, Senior Legal Adviser to the Trump 2020 campaign and personal attorney to President Donald Trump, is being mocked on social media after posting a tweet suggesting Christianity is under attack and might be canceled. Few seem to know that her tweet follows her diatribe posted at the far right Breitbart website falsely claiming “The Left Will Cancel the Constitution.” Ellis is an anti-LGBTQ religious extremist who supports criminalizing homosexuality. GLAAD has an entire page documenting her attacks on the LGBTQ community. https://www.alternet.org/2020/06/born-again-karen-top-trump-campaign-attorney-mocked-for-suggesting-they-are-trying-to-cancel-christianity/

Reaganomics halted a progressively narrowing wage gap and lead us to where we are now. He fired 11,000 striking union members which made it ok to declare war on unions. The middle class has never recovered. He ignored the AIDS epidemic and when he wasn't ignoring it, advanced the notion that it was a sinners' disease. He revoked the Fairness Doctrine which lead to the establishment of Fox News, Rush Limbaugh etc. He campaigned on the idea that government is bad and doesn't serve the people's interest. He repealed the Mental Systems Act which lead to the homelessness or incarceration of thousands of the mentally ill. His administration was statistically the most corrupt ever. 138 members of his team were investigated, indicted or convicted for their roles in various scandals. He deregulated the Savings & Loan industry which would lead to the subsequest Savings & Loan crisis. Was basically the initial funder of Al Qaeda when he funded Afghans opposed to Russia because he hated communism that much. Reagan was an FBI snitch during the McCarthy years. He created the Office of Public Diplomacy which manipulated media with White Propoganda. Please do your own research on this - terrifying. His administration used EPA Superfunds to influence elections. As mentioned, Iran-Contra. He vetoed sanctions against Apartheid South Africa. He also said this: "Last night, I tell you, to watch that thing on television as I did," Reagan, then the governor of California, can be heard saying to Nixon during a phone call following China's recognition by the U.N, “To see those — those monkeys from those African countries — damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes.” https://www.salon.com/2019/08/01/that-racist-reagan-recording-just-confirmed-what-my-community-already-knew/ etc. Almost everything wrong in America now can be traced back to the Reagan years.

Exactly!

Could you imagine how awful this would be if the Bombers hadn't won the Grey Cup?

Bombers president Miller comes to defence of CFL commissioner AmbrosieWe didn't put out a press release about that as a league but that's what was done," said Miller, a former Bombers player. "Throughout every team's organization there've been reductions in salaries, staff positions have been eliminated, budgets decreased throughout the business operation . . . all of these things are going on to get our league and teams through this and get our players back on the field."We really need (CFLPA) to grasp the seriousness of the situation facing the league and our teams. We're a gate-driven league and that's been taken right away now because of COVID and the public health concerns, which we fully understand."It's absolutely unfair to go at our commissioner and suggest we're not working hard to find a recovery plan to get back to 2020 and the future. Just absolutely inaccurate and they've been engaged through this process." https://www.collingwoodtoday.ca/national-sports/bombers-president-miller-comes-to-defence-of-cfl-commissioner-ambrosie-2446242

Just how long does it take to sign one bloody player?

This is how you torch stupid people that think they are better than you and don't have a clue

Back when the Bombers held training camp in Brandon, I wrote to Cal Murphy begging him to let me help out (Would've been '94 or '95?) I was 11 or 12. It was the thrill of a lifetime, the team let me essentially be the "water boy," I got to miss school, ride my bike over to Kinsmen 'stadium' and hang around my heroes for a few weeks. I got a lot of pics of that time with Cal, Dunigan, Wilcox, Walby and the boys. What a time! I was also there for Reinebold's first training camp in Portage. I have nothing but fond memories literally everyone in the organization treated me extremely well and I'd get a practice used J5V at the end of each camp lol.

He'll get signed & go back to being a coach killer like he was with the 49ers. He was the worst starting qb in the NFL last time he played. When you lose your starting position to Blaine Gabbert...

Hmm, seems like that was already done somewhere. https://www.tsn.ca/stegall-walby-ploen-highlight-cfl2020-s-all-time-blue-bombers-roster-1.1487534

I'm fine with Mitchell and Miller tbh - they're pretty much a 'how to' guide on running franchises

I wish that TSN would rerun the good games from last season. Last week, I watched the Alouette/TigerCat game. It was as dull as dishwater, but.....I enjoyed it in spite of myself.

That will somehow be Nichols' fault. 😁

fwiw, I'm a really big fan of Rasheed Bailey and Kenny Lawler. I know we've said it before, but I think both of those guys could really be something.
