Fan Boy

Denmark, Moore and Kohlert are all move the chains, sure hands type guys. We're really missing a boundary WR. Moore and Denmark are both ok there, but better suited to the slot. Based on Adams, Tuinei, Childs, Gettis, Clemons being in camp, that's the spot they are looking to fill. Having a run game that can break a tackle will open up some space for everyone too. Maybe my memory is flawed but I remember many big plays from Denmark.

Acquire some Greek friends, it never gets old. Just make sure they are little Greek friends.

Bloggers are the most self important people out there. Really hard to read. I assume gbill has one.... That sounded like a shot. Was that a shot? Because it sure seems like a shot. Not a backfire but an honest to goodness shot.

What do you mean by featured? All games are broadcast. Do you mean Friday?

Bearpants and Tracker, I liked the combination upper cut and then jab so much I had to go past just liking. Good work guys. I spit coffee onto my paperwork. Lucky I didn't hit the Blackberry.

This is going to be great.

We have found "The Deflator".

What I remember was that Ray Elgaard just looked scary as it was. Handlebar mustache and a lot of bulk behind it. Kind of looked like a biker. I also remember he was 2 yards past the line of scrimmage at almost every snap.

20+ years of futility will do that to rational people. Optimistic attitudes are helpful, but I just can't take the amount of medication required. I don't know how you can drag yourself to work without optimism never mind invest time and and money on a sports team.

competition among the "National"s is one of the best things to see for the BB in a long time. I get a bit of a tear in my eye over it. Years ago some of the best players were Nationals. I hope those days come again and they should as there are more Canadians playing in the big time NCAA all the time and the CIS seems to be improving in quality too.

I think its great that somebody said something about somebody noticing somebody and somebody noticed somebody saying something and that somebody else is happy. That is some good times right there.

I think that you can compress a baseball game with commercials into 30 minutes tells you all you need to know about baseball. Personally I find baseball, golf and curling fascinating in how painfully slow everything moves and how difficult they still are to actually do.

I've been with Rogers for many years, but only because the only other option at the time was Telus, and I tried them and their network and service sucked even harder than Rogers, if that's possible. I should look at switching again. Anyone who poops on the CFL poops on me. And I don't like being pooped on. You may wish to consider Koodo- we've been with them for 6 years and have had excellent coverage and service when needed. Thanks for the tip. Once the truth is known and it is indeed shown that Rogers is trying to kill the CFL, I am done. No way am I supporting a business that has that kind of attitude. NO WAY. Plus Koodo has really funny commercials. Isn't Koodo just owned by Telus? Telus are a bunch of assholes too, but but not as big as Rogers I suppose. Rogers are basically the devil. My daughter's experience with both Telus and Rogers were epic bad. It made MTS seem OK and that is like a distortion of in the fabric of space time.

You shouldn't need other GM's to justify the decision but after the way Kelly and Mack went their own way it is good to know that other GM's saw something in this guy worth throwing all the chips to the center of the table. I know we shouldn't dwell on the past but the present is not good enough to make the future so enticing. But I am still getting excited about this season.

Also don't forget about the dark Mike Kelly year.... ugh completely destroyed our team... That was many years ago now, Kelly might have done some damage to the team but... Mack had a chance to fix it and didn't. Kelly had 1 year, Mack had what? 3.. this is walters what? 2nd? And for as much heat as this may get, I think Mike Kelly was quite misunderstood, yup he told it like it was, fans and media didn't like that but... reality is, if he was given 3 years like Mack was, my guess, the team is better off now than it was under Mack canadian depth wise at least... Can talk about Mike Kelly messing up all you want but his main man was John Murphy who is now in Calgary with Huff, Murphy knows his stuff, the 'database' was legit, just never got more than a year to see what it could do. Sounds pretty reasonable. How did you get in here? You need to throw a wild ass accusation or pugnacious prognostication to be liked you know.

He's from Regina... which last I checked doesn't qualify as local... also he has the skill to be an actual QB not just a gimmick guy like like we had a few years ago... what was that guy's name, Rustin Doltz? Are you being grumpy or just a bit hungry? Maybe you should have a candy bar.

I prefer chips. Especially with W logo. Popcorn doesn't crunch when when you squeeze the bag on an interception or fumble. I admit popcorn is more dramatic to throw in the air on a touchdown. But I can usually recover some of the chips before the dog gets them but she always gets the popcorn first.

I would guess that the 2 year contract represents some confidence on the agent's part. I also do not have a problem with that. If this guy is so good then we should know by 2 years and if BB are successful he will stay longer. The important part is that he from BC not SK so no worries about running back to the the land of green after the first contract. I liked the highlight parts where he ran down field for extra blocks and smacked guys on their butts. If this translates to the next level it will be fun.

Sitting on the couch listening to Benevides say with Chungh and Picard together there is going to be snot bubbles, I just about had snot bubbles myself. The bombers have needed a bubble machine O line for a long time.

I know everyone looks good in a highlight reel but this guy did not go down on first contact and could pull away from defenders. He shed blocks on special teams and drove that one guy way back on return. Laval is not a bad place to pick up players either. Draft time is one of those times for optimism. There will be plenty of time for despair later.

I was surprised to see the I told you so on something that was on April 9 that is a dog's age in Internet time. I can just imagine someone sitting in the dark with the quote on the screen day after day mumbling "Someday I will be proven right. Everyone will know my greatness" and then he quickly wipes the drool from the keyboard. No offense intended.

We are going to find out if he`s a stallion or gelding. Is it Ok if I don't look? I would rather not know the players that well.

That is so optimistic I think you are in the wrong forum. Actually I share your optimism both on the on the field performance and the financial end as well. If a half decent team is put together for a few years, the fans will fill the stands for years. I think there is a pretty good shot that the loan payments could be made without dipping into reserves in the future. Given how much taxpayer subsidies professional sports has taken all over North America over the years, I think the Bombers have been pretty responsible in the debt they are taking on. How much did the Lions pay for the new roof in Vancouver for example?

Tearing it up on the basketball court, apparently. That may be overstating his case. I have no doubt that pro basketball pays a lot better than the CFL with a lot less chance of being pancaked by a 300 lb lineman. There are many levels of "Pro" basketball with some being even less lucrative than the CFL. NBA salaries are very much the tip of the iceberg with only 450 players. I think having a 300 lb basketball center land on you after you both fall to a hardwood floor would be quite the painful experience although I would never equate football violence with basketball violence. Back in the early 1980's a roommate of mine went to France to play basketball for money. One of his teammates there played in the ABA . My roomate came back with little to show for his experience except some stories about French women.

And that's probably without any sprint technique.coaching.I doubt that. The school he goes to is a private school founded in 1584 and charges £30,000 (over $55,000 Cdn) a year. Their website says the Athletics section has 12 coaches and they bring in former Olympic and world champion calibre athletes as guest coaches. Is he on scholarship? If not he won't sniff at CFL money. That is serious money for secondary school, well to me, a coupon counting Winnipegger.
