Fan Boy

Possibly is very charitable I think. Keeping up with the not Jones's is what you meant.

This is one reason why CFL is interesting to me. You have big restrictions with the ratio and the cap. Its not like you can just get the best guy available.

Welcome. I think you meant to post in the intro thread but you will find we are all very accepting of mistakes and wrongheadedness here. /S

I think the bombers where not up to standard in the mental department for the Calgary game. Not the same team at all. No team is immune from complacency or tightness. I think tightness was the cause of the bad game with Calgary not complacency of course.

To be fair what defence can stop the bounce off the helmet right into the hands while falling backwards hail Mary pass.?

It is funny that the Eskimo defence could not handle it since their offence is the epitome of hurry up that could not be miked because the purity would be defiled. Should have seen it in practice. Nah probably because of injury based turn over.

Burnham definitely makes Jennings look better but a couple of those throws should have been out of bounds or further down field. Not smart at all. I admit I never saw the game only highlights. PVR'd it but accidentally saw the score and thought organizing the garage would be more entertaining. If Riders were on the other side I might have poured myself into the couch.

You mean send the "Why are you so dirty?" Chung at them.

If Jones said that Adams is now the future I am sure the majority would say "yes Jim, I mean yes Chris. Your defensive genius is only matched by your ability to find the hidden gems."

Did Wally just leave Harris on the side of the road? Harris seems like he has a lot game left. In fact I can't remember a game where I have thought that guy is just about done. He seems to be a good sideline guy too.

The whole being on the board after being being dead for over 2 years is even more impressive. Most of the dead guys I know just stink.

I was thinking I was too dumb or old because I found these segments to be worse than useless. Thank you for posting. My self esteem is back.

Keeping track of Black malapropisms is entirely another game.

Control Reilly? You make it seem like that is easy. The man is slippery. He has psychological powers. Do you think he wears those hats because he likes them? It is all calculated. When the DE breaks away from the third string tackle, he sees Reilly and suddenly he forgets to contain because he is thinking how a paper boy cap looks better than the bowler but the bowler does make his nose look smaller. Then boom Reilly has slipped by and has picked up the first down.

When you asked if he wanted the warranty did he tell you he would handle it internally?

Oh yes I remember this. I threw up in my mouth when I heard this the first time. sorry for repeating this but I took my wife to her first game at this time and she comes from a different country where a football is round. She asked me why our team had its thrower so close to the pushers when the other team's thrower had room to react, run or throw.

This is true. The value of a player is dependant on how they finish their career. Retirement or injury give zero return but otherwise this is some residual value. My preference of Walters over Mack is not just based on current who is in the seat status but also on the evident strategy. Having 3 Canadians in the main management positions proves what we always say. Any CFL team is as good as your National depth. Building the team inside out is great because that is where useful National talent usually found. I have to close as always I am speaking only as an uneducated fan but one who has been following since Jay Washington was scooting.

I see the same gentle criticism I saw before but I may not be as discerning (FanBoy thing and all that).

That may have been in the past but look at today's receivers and DB's and you can definitely see a body type bias. Compare Adams and Heath: long fast receivers and smaller quicker defensive backs. My humble opinion is that mental differences contribute as well. I feel like DB's have to be mentally tougher as they can be targeted by a receiver, QB and OC. Keep in mind I have no football experience past tiny high school in the 1970's so I have no real idea of what I am talking about.

Well you can read Ed Tait's articles with your coffee on your tablet from the Blue Bomber website or from their app.

What the heck are we talking about. Its football day.

nah man Bae is Beyonce or I can`t read twitter properly.

Beyonce, man stick with the program. I nver heard any rumours about you. In fact I love the smell of potatoes.

Unless she is related to someone important it will be tough to get that juicy job. source: my wife who is a teacher

I think the dusty old ball should look at the sparkly array of shirts that MOS wears. The entire catalogue is on display if you follow pressers, interviews and games. Mike Benevides always wore a jersey that was loose and dark that looked like he just finished mopping the dressing room with it but he did get fired didn't he?
