Isn't all pre-season time garbage time? Also - fun fact: The 2017 Cleveland Browns went 4-0 in pre-season.

Methinks thou sets the bar too high.

Throw a pick-6 for every CFL team?

I know we'll never really know exact amounts, but it'd be interesting to compare how much Denmark was making when he returned compared to when he was shipped out.

Any doubts I had of you being a father have been successfully extinguished. That is dad-level punnery.

Scaling back of the fishing expeditions was good... I think the only gripe I had this year was the 'Riders "injuries"... but there really is no effective way to police that unfortunately. The only thing I can think of that could possibly work would be limiting the number of injury timeouts a team has... but that would still be a very thorny situation, the PA wouldn't like it, and it would only be a matter of time before a player attempted to play through an on-field injury if their team was out of timeouts. tldr; No changes of note?

Say what you will about the schedule, but the Bomber brass actually took fan feedback regarding weeknight games and changed something. One thing I like about Miller's regime is suggestions don't seem to fall on deaf ears as they have in the past.

This.

Neat!

Ahem.. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Stampeders with another choke job...

I was less than 1 when the Bombers last won a Grey Cup so... (d) None of the above

I think this statement speaks more of the garbage coaches between O'Shea / Ritchie as opposed to complimenting O'Shea...

Is it June yet?

Gotta disagree with you there.... spending time on a burnout like Carr is time and resources wasted that could be spent scouting a younger rising star. Not to mention it makes us look like idiots... remember how much everyone here was laughing at the 'Riders when they brought in Vince Young? On top of that, nothing came of it, I don't think Young even dressed a game for them... It is unfortunate, but football is a business and as fondly as some of us remember Greg Carr in his prime - it's time to move on.

For others that are curious, Greg Carr bounced around the Arena Football League after leaving the CFL in 2013. He was even named rookie of the year in 2014 (in the AFL). He is currently listed as inactive on the Washington Valor roster.

It's too bad those those jerseys missed the mark. I think they would've actually looked alright if they just had some specks of gold in them or something. As is, they look awful and remind me too much of an Argos uniform. I do find it funny how many people I see at games with Drew Willy versions of that jersey though...

Too deep.

Well...I guess the call Maas made was at least a realistic field goal? Imagine if he had made that call on a 61-yarder haha... I think people are also underestimating how much respect he was giving Calgary's offense in that scenario. I think he would look at a tie game with that much time as ample opportunity for Mitchell to march the field for the walk-off FG anyways?

Do you mean 61-yard? I know Medlock had a bad year, but I think he could make a 1-yard FG....

Alright hear me out here... maybe MAYBE Maas thought they couldn't convert the 3rd and 4, and was expecting Whyte to miss? The rouge would've meant another TD would've allowed them to kick the PAT for 1?... That's even stupider though, because that'd be going for the rouge hah. Yeah okay that was a really bad call...

All this talk about Matthews reminds me of one thing. Remember how everyone cried foul about releasing Thorpe this year? Imagine if we did the same thing to Matthews back when he asked for his release... there would be absolutely no way he'd come back. At least for now it's a foreseeable possibility, as opposed to just a pipe dream. Also hah at Fitzgerald ever wanting to play up here. Imagine this as a sales pitch for your current job: Want to pay more taxes, earn less money, and play in worse weather? Tired of golfing in Arizona year-round? Then have we got the league for you! I love the CFL... but you guys are kidding if you think Fitz would ever seriously come up here.

It's hard to mash teeth when you don't have any!

Meh, Bluto seems like a cool guy, Eskies knocked us out, and Calgary is insufferably full of themselves. I think I'm in the majority when I say once the Bombers were out of the running, everyone wants someone other than SSK to win. Doesn't matter who, just not them...
