  1. The “thin skull doctrine”. It means the perpetrator gets no relief because of a fragile victim. But collaros shouldn’t have been playing. Mind you there are many guys that shouldn’t be playing. This is a brutal sport.
  2. Regarding the O Line, Gray is better than a any rookie, and the others were very capable. There was no short yardage situation that was a problem at all. Bombers seem to have all that figured out.
  3. I think it was Hecht that called demonstratively for MOS to challenge the catch that would have given the Leo’s a big first down. The review showed an incompletion and it seemed to suck BC’s enthusiasm at that point.
  4. Continuity in key players seemed to play to the Bombers advantage. That defence is scary good, BC had such a hard time running, they gave it up. Nice win.
  5. Oh f*** yeah. Tee Martin. Kerwin Bell, and he could get all time gold medal blooper award.
  6. Two things. I’ll assume Ryan Lankford wasn’t that bad to not be included, but would like to add D. Durant as a deadbeat or at the least a bum.
  7. Great line...I’ll be using that... Difference between Mennonites and Hudderites is that Mennonites are too cheap to buy the uniform.
  8. I needed to repost this quote with bold and italics where appropriate because I’d agree but couldn’t articulate the thoughts near as well.
  9. Standings West: Winnipeg, Calgary, B.C., Edmonton, Saskatchewan. East: Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal. Winnipeg beats Hamilton in the Grey Cup. Harris wins most outstanding Canadian. MOS wins Coach of the Year. Gray rookie of the year. Captain Blue crashes the biplane in the north end zone, it’s totalled. Lucky performs a new style touchdown celebration into the north stands. After a week of celebrating the Grey Cup victory, Wade crashes through the doors at Royal Fork Buffet. He was not in a vehicle. It was bound to happen that scandal rocks Buzz and Boomer living arrangements.
  10. Shocking given your team, but lots would agree with you.
  11. I probably got the wrong number or guy or both. Washington at a listed 6-4 on the roster wouldn’t be teeny. And your welcome!
  12. A beautiful even warm day today at our wonderful IGF for training camp with the loveLy Sarah Orlesky in attendance. I started watching, the offence was running no huddle plays against the defence. On the D #5 Jefferson was alongside #95 Thomas, #92 Nevis and #94 Jeffcoat. This combo has all kinds promise and showed it play after play after play. #5 applied all kinds of pressure and is just that impressive. Three men in stripes were out there blowing whistles to simulate game timing. The O had four qb’s. #15 Bernie and #17 the Kid’s timing wasn’t all there but by golly #18 Bennett was the most accurate tosser today and managed to scramble when he had to. #12 Sean McGuire appeared unremarkable. #3 Nelson was open by 15 yards and dropped a bomb right in his hands from Nichols. This caused a couple of fans to chuckle and yell “your cut”. #40 Santiago made a terrific snag and deceptive run during a screen play. All plays from scrimmage were passes, no runs, so couldn’t really tell what was up with the RB’s. But Harris was out there. #87 Whitehead had a remarkable 15 yard catch in heavy traffic. A couple nicks happened to #23 Gaitor (back) and a pissed off #79 Lachance (elbow)- he’s got size. Couple of other big mutthafuggas DL #99 Forde #91 Mccalister rotated along side #93 Roh and, I forgot, sorry. #6 Washington, teeny, fast and athletic ran back punts. Dressed but no pads and didn’t practice were #80 Matthews, but he was sticking his schnib into hear the huddle when practicing in the red zone. #4 Bighill also dressed, no pads and not activate but was taking pointers from Wade on the best buffets in town. #51 Hardrick, no pads but watching as well. The overall impression was a loose squad, not a lot of yelling or screaming. The addition of Jefferson to the D Line has me very excited after viewing the team today.
  13. If the tickets are NFL regular season prices, there might be difficulty filling the building. I’d still plan to go for this unique event.
  14. TB4 - kudos to you on the effort, thought, balance and commitment you displayed in this entire thread. An enormous task that is appreciated. Thank you.
  15. For the most part I can’t say that CFL football fans put much thought into what the Commish does or doesn’t do. His performance in the role is far down the list of fan priorities way behind, exciting players, controversial coaches, great stadiums, excessive price of refreshments, crappy weather/schedules and the list goes on. And anyone here can identify any concern they may have...so no ctiticism intended.
  16. Acceptable to rider fans. Ultra creepy to everyone else. Persistent, invasive, and i’ll throw in an assault charge.
  17. Also speaking of Rider fans. Just this week in a resort far far away while discussing the CFL a rider fan says to me, “ yup, we got the cup.” What? RB “you mean Regina is hosting the grey cup game...” RF, “huh.?” RB “the riders haven’t won a thing, the city is the host to an event..” RF, “oh, oh, I guess your right...”. Total misrepresentation, totally dim to understand the correction. Then the deflection, “wool, when was the last time the bombers won the cup? “ also in other not news but usual nonsense, Rider Dressler jersey seen at Jets Coyotes game......smh.
  18. I’d agree the concept of the employer delaying discussions is not a bad strategy for one side. Ambrosie hasn’t necessarily been all bad for the players so far with more bye’s and less gruelling practices. Should the players association buy into Ambrosie’s vision which includes a larger amount of the players longer term health, his goodwill to date could go a long way to everyone agreeing to a new C.A.
  19. He did so well and went on to have a successful career in comedy. Ffs, someone was going to say it.
  20. Does this mean the feed will be from TSN with Rod Black the commentator? “The venerable Rod Black, the world wide voice of the CFL”! Bwahahaha!
  21. According to Cactus Jack, David Shaw was related to the only Japanese player in the league at that time. Rick Shaw.
