The best one is (Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ veteran right tackle) Chris Van Zeyl, especially when it comes to pass pro." ....cough........

  4. Nichols severed a purpose gave stability to team and position but the team has out grown him and clearly at this point Collaros is a better fit. Will also respect Nichols tough guy that brought respectability back to the organization.

  10. It's helped us from getting completely unnecessary penalties where the guys get overly emotional and react and then send the team back 15 yards.

  12. Just watched CFL wired for this week. The Bombers (admittedly Darvin didn't play) don't do a lot of yapping on the field it seems. Actions speak louder than words.

  13. Expecting big results from every receiver this early is probably asking too much. Still only 1 game played after a near 2 year layoff. The offense for all the good they did was still rusty as hell and out of sync at times. Be patient and just enjoy the beat down they gave Hamilton.

    Pre--pandemic, it was widely believed he would not finish the term so this comes as no surprise at all, especially given his current popularity.

    So I just signed up for Apple TV to watch Ted Lasso.... Man oh man what a show. "Unrelenting positivity" is what I'd read about it, and it's so true. I defy anyone to watch this and not feel better about life after watching an ep. Not quite finished S1 yet, but so far so great! (and I really don't care for soccer, but it really doesn't even matter...)

  22. I hope the kickers used this week to give MOS a reason to trust them. I can understand some of the reasoning behind not trying FGs in week one, but they need to fix this going forward.

  23. def want to see him sign a one-day contract and retire as a Bomber. Was also hoping the Bombers would get a chance to present him with his ring pregame when the redblacks came to town but alas the gaps of the14-game pandemic schedule.

  24. When I used to play the TSN weekly lineups thing that Booch kicked butt on this week I was always so mad that there would be a guy on the starting roster that right before game time would go down and be out of the game during warm ups. Glad to see the CFL catching up with the times.

  31. This is fair, but also a bit revisionist. At the time we all thought Trouba was an elite player in this league. But man, he signed that big money deal and just totally fell off in NY. Just crazy. Looking at it now, certainly Pionk seems like a much better value for the Jets..

    Disagree. You can draw a direct line between party policy and most politicians' ambitions. There's a certain party that believes that the strongest should survive and screw everyone else. It's not a big jump to guess at their own motivations from there.

  35. Buying a few UFA years too, here. Given his time logged, I expected an arbitration ruling of around $6M, anyhow. This locks up next year and a few UFA years. Not too many, though.

  43. https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/08/09/still-disbelief-child-shot This story about bomber db demerio Houstons daughter being shot in the leg while sleeping in her Bed is heartbreaking. His daughter son and wife are now in Winnipeg and she's awaiting surgery to remove the bullet. They have a gofundme I'm donating to and I strongly recommend any one who can to do the same.

    US Politics

    Follow the money: It sure looks as if Jan. 6 was planned and funded by oligarchs in the shadows Donald Trump and his allies and followers were involved in a conspiracy against American democracy, the Constitution, the general welfare and the rule of law. Trump may have been president by title, but not in spirit or through his actions. At almost every opportunity he betrayed the presidential oath and worked to undermine the United States and its interests. The examples are legion: Trump was elected with the help of a hostile foreign power and appeared to do its leader's bidding throughout his presidency. Trump engaged in acts of democide against the American people through sabotage and willful neglect in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump is directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of more than 600,000 people in America. He was impeached twice — something unprecedented in American history — for crimes against democracy and the Constitution. Donald Trump was grossly corrupt as president, using the office to enrich himself, his family and his political allies. Trump and his regime debased America's democracy and political culture, elevating neofascism and white supremacy in an attempt to create a new form of apartheid. The damage Trumpism caused to American society has created a full-blown political and social crisis. Matters are so dire that many observers, including President Biden, have described the Age of Trump and beyond as the greatest threat to American democracy since the Civil War. Of course there were also the events of Jan. 6, with Donald Trump's coup attempt and his followers' lethal attack on the Capitol. What new information have we learned? Trump's coup attempt came much closer to succeeding than was known even several weeks ago. The coup attempt was not "amateurish" or a joke. Trump and his allies' attempts to overthrow American democracy were entirely in earnest. Trump's followers who overran the Capitol should not be described as a "mob." At least some of them were organized, dedicated and well-financed, as well as zealously loyal. The danger that Trump would invoke martial law and declare himself president for life after his defeat by Joe Biden was so great that the country's senior military leaders were preparing to stop him. Last week it was revealed that Jeffrey Clark, a Trump loyalist within the Justice Department, attempted to pressure acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to declare that there were "irregularities" in the votes in key battleground states such as Georgia, where Trump had narrowly lost to Biden. On CNN's "State of the Union" last weekend, Sen. **** Durbin, D-Ill., who chairs the Judiciary Committee, said that testimony from Rosen and another Justice Department official had "lifted the lid on 'frightening' maneuverings at the department after November's election." Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told CNN's Manu Raju he was struck by "how close the country came to total catastrophe" in the last days of Trump's presidency. According to CNN, Clark "drafted a letter that he asked Rosen to send to Georgia state legislators to say they should convene to examine irregularities in the election." The New York Times has reported that Clark's letter suggested the Georgia legislature should void Biden's victory in the state, while falsely claiming the Justice Department was investigating allegations of fraud.

  48. I'm a little late to the party here, but for those saying that Nichols was the best QB in the league in 2019... how quickly we forget that the first 8 weeks of the season were against extremely weak competition. Only 1 team had a winning record (Hamilton) and they lost against them. Playing Ottawa, BC, Toronto the bulk of the early schedule, of course he had a winning record. That game they lost to Toronto 28-27, to me, was the epitome of what we had with Nichols at QB. Just a guy who couldn't get it done when the stakes were at their highest. 169 yards passing this game, and even with Harris going for over 150 on the ground, couldn't keep the lead. The defence even bailed them out with a turnover with 1:44 left. What does the Nichols led offence go out and do, when all they need is a first down to all but ice the game. 2 & out. This, during what some are saying when he was 'at his best' ? Please. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2588/winnipeg-blue-bombers-vs-toronto-argonauts/?_ga=2.152605561.1119343581.1628611599-110836146.1617285075#videos Matty Ice? More like Ice Cold. There's a reason they needed Medlock with him at QB, because he couldn't finish drives. Nichols, after 2017 when there was enough film out there on him and our offence, declined big time. Even his 2017 numbers were propped up big time, dumping it off to Harris 105 times that season. Easy to have a great completion percentage when you throw the ball 3 yards. That said, he's gone and no longer our QB. I finally got my wish! I had honestly thought he had played his last CFL game when he got hurt mid-season here in 2019. He had a decent couple seasons, that was it. Not a guy that's going to the hall of fame by any stretch!
