Anyone got the schedule for when the bandwagon goes by? There's probably a few people who will be jumping on...

Translation: I said something to get a reaction. It got a reaction, then I pretend outrage because I got exactly what I was going for. Par for the course.

Wouldn't be a win without someone throwing shade. If we won 99-3, the script would read something like "Don't expect us to score that much next time. We got lucky"

by snu-snu?

Between this post and the Carr thread, I gotta ask, is your house under any high voltage power lines, because... dang.

His "success" in this league might suggest otherwise.

Pinning your hopes on "blind squirrel finds nut" strategy might be a problem. I don't recall anyone saying "we just have too much American talent" during he tenure. Ya, he found some good players, but every GM can do that. We can do better than bringing back past failures like Taman.

Wow, even though we've lost our starting QB for the remainder of the regular season I'm still going to predict that we end up in the playoffs. Remember, you heard it here first!

This thread is ridiculous.

Yes, because look at all the Grey Cups he's brought to the teams he's been on. He's a real talent magnet.

But... but.. he's a known name and he was good for a couple of weeks several years ago. We might as well track down and sign Michael Bishop while we're at it.

BC sucks

Seem to be an awful lot of putrid offences in the CFL then. One thing you might want to factor in is the fact that the offence is playing against a defense comprised of pro level players who are proably of the opinion that if they were to give up 5 yards on a 3rd and 5 their defense would be putrid, so ya, it is you.

Serious question: Are you Thorpe's mom or his agent, because you gotta be one or the other.

No. More like understating.

And for anyone thinking that the Lions are playing with nothing to lose, I think that you're dead wrong on that. The players probably know that there is a strong possibility of a shake up coming and each one of them is playing to prove that they deserve a job, that they didn't quit. They're playing for pride and their future. That's not nothing.

And of course, grousing about everything possible game in, game out, is magically going to lift the Bombers to victory...

Outstanding 1st post. The curb, kick him to it, please.

sigh.... that was the year I got married.

For god's sake why are we still talkingabout Thorpe? Dude decided that "paying one's dues" didn't apply to him. He thought that he was a starter and should be on the roster. I guess he never talked to Flanders, who seems to have every bit as much talent, but recognized that roster management is a little more involved. Guy walked away and yes, the fact that he was not picked up by anyone does matter. It suggests that there are 9 GM's in the league that don't see him as starter or primary backup material yet. Turns out that his best chance at being one was only a week away. Sucks for him, but life is choice.

The highest point in Saskatchewan is on fire? You'll be able to see that from anywhere in the province!

The shorthand for that is "he Ralphed"

Remind me again who signed him after he was released by us? Oh yea, that's right, no one. And it's been almost a month. Seems like the entire CFL is less enamored of his skills than you.
