  1. Shoutout to the Elks player that was so offside on an Elks punt he ran off the jumbotron in the replay lmfao
  2. Agreed, Prukop made some terrible pass attempts in the game and Brown showed more escapability.
  3. I dont know who 36 was but he had a couple nice plays, read the snap count and laid the wood a couple times. Also thought Augustine played well, and Prukop may be looking over his shoulder a bit.
  4. So..... Has the preseason game scheduled tomorrow (May 27) been officially postponed? Does anyone know? Have not heard anything from the club....
  5. Yet another valid point for the "this is why Edmonton sucks" argument
  6. Debt free at 30! Also love this city and all its' warts. Have fun having [INSERT STARTING QB NAME HERE] throw to you Lawler.
  7. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-cflpa-reach-tentative-collective-agreement-1.6458863 Not sure if this belongs here.
  8. Imagine if this entire strike was just so the Bomber players could defer going to SSK
  9. The Maple Leafs are now tied with the Bruins for most game 7 losses in league history (14). The Bruins oddly enough also have the most game 7 wins (15) of any team and have played in the most overall of any franchise.
  10. Greg Carr what a flash in the pan he was
  11. Makes me sad in the current-age CFL you don't see more QB tandems. With how expensive the position is, it just usually isn't economically feasible. If you're routinely switching QBs (and it isn't for short-yardage sneaks) - you're probably doing something wrong. The only other honorable mention you could make today would be Evans / Masoli, - but I don't think that really counts - they wouldn't game plan to play both of them, just if one stunk it up, the other would sub in.
  12. As far as I can tell this was also Bobby Fritz. Fun fact he was a player and our head coach at the same time
  13. Question RE new 2 QB rule; if Matt Nichols laterals to Dominique Davis who then throws a pick 6 is it just an INT for Davis, or both? Asking for a friend.
  14. Ploen also (according to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame) holds the record for fewest interceptions thrown in a single season (1962 - 4). They're both well-respected, but there's absolutely no Brock is even comparable. Obviously the team around them has something to do with it, but really good players just have that "it" factor that rallies the team pushes them over the hump. Ploen had "it", Brock, well, not so much. Also Brock dumped on our city so he can go fly a kite in my book.
  15. Make rouges worth 2, but only if the the total time left on the play clock on seconds is a prime number when the play is ruled dead.
  16. Lol tuned in halfway through the 3rd thinking the Jets had blown their 3-0 lead only to be pleasantly surprised the Avs had actually just scored their 5th, followed shortly by their sixth...
  17. Collins would be nice but I just hope we sign Janarion Grant. He is way more impactful than Collins and has more upside
  18. The fact they signed him as a DB is nothing short of amazing lol.
  19. Tbh the team publicly acknowledged the DUI and gave Lawler a team imposed 1 game suspension voluntarily. This was a lot more than most teams would do. If I recall correctly, as a team the Bombers hadn't locked up first place at the time either. Compare it to some of the other offenses by players, who wouldnt even admit wrongdoing, and would appeal the suspension (Simoni Lawrence 2 game suspension for a dangerous hit on Collaros comes to mind) As for Harris - same thing... They had him serve his suspension, even though he ended up missing the critical back to back with SSK at the time. Though, this was a bit less up to Bomber brass, as I dont think you cam appeal a suspension for banned substance in the CFL. Both situations sucked, but really the only thing more drastic they could have done would have been to cut ties with either player, which, at the time, probably would have been detrimental to the teams product on the field. I am not saying that it right, just that that is how the sports business is.
  20. Yeah I guess if there is a silver lining to his departure, Bombers dont have to deal with that PR nightmare going forward.
  21. Stumbled upon this earlier today, I know others on here have been asking for it. Mods feel free to move this as you see fit if it does not warrant its own thread.
  22. I did this with my Odell Willis jersey, got it for Christmas the year they went to the cup (2011) he then got a DUI and signed elsewhere the immesiate next season. Had it restitched to a player that'd never get traded - Kenny Ploen.
  23. Of a similar vein, dont ever represent yourself in a court of law. Thanks for all the years Harris, too bad you couldn't have made it work.
