  1. Even though I realize this would immediately benefit the Riders, I still think the CFL should revisit the cap on management/coach spending. I think it's ridiculous that the a team, even the Riders (may they rot in h), can't replace all their coaches when the GM/HC walks out. I also think it's unfortunate for Lapo that he's not getting the chance to hear their pitch and make a decision on his own. However, the Riders put themselves into their own terrible position and it's way too late to expect the Bombers to replace their OC. I wish it worked out for Lapo, though, because I really like the guy.
  2. I think they should just hire Benevides. He's a DC and former head coach. It does nothing to solve the dumpster fire offense but who cares. According to the faithful, they were about to win a GC last year but for the Callaros hit. Easy peasy.
  3. Trump can still deliver the State of Union as he is required to do. He does not need to make a speech, he can deliver a written document. But, that would deny Trump the opportunity to stand up front and repeat his lies and hate speech.
  4. Don't laugh, that idea is at the forefront of some Bomber fans theory's right here on this forum. In fact, according to those, we better lock Streveler up long term right now.
  5. But those commercials are godawful!
  6. I'm going to presume you are a male?
  7. This is totally out the WWE-CFL playbook. A total swerve. A screw job. The Canadian Mafia striking again! First, they influence the refs, now they turn heel on the Priders. What a script!
  8. And play him at guard.
  9. It would also be a huge mistake to overpay for NI-OL, when we have depth at that position. We still have holes to fill but we can't re-sign Goossen and Chungh at any cost. I want them back but we have several priorities to make this team whole.
  10. He's going to lose his ****.
  11. In contrast to the CFL, NFL playoff TV ratings are through the roof - 3downnation I didn't realize how poor the ratings were these past playoffs. From the article: The GreyCup was also a disappointment. Viewership for the CFL’s championship game between the Calgary Stampeders and the Ottawa Redblacks was just 3.1 million on TSN – a decline of over 23 per cent from 2017. It was the lowest-rated game since 2001 (2.7 million) and the worst showing for TSN since they took over the broadcast rights 11 years ago. The league has some big time issues to solve before it gets into it's next deal, presumably with TSN again, which expires after 2021. I'm not sure why CTV doesn't carry the Grey Cup? I would think they could leverage the better ad buys there and more viewers?

  13. Lapo held hostage. Day 4. The clouds have passed and we're headed east. We've grabbed the map that Cleetus Jr got with his kids meal at Humpty's. He's coloured most of it but we can still make out where the Saskatchewan ends and Manitoba begins. We'll need to avoid the giant bison that dominates the western portion Manitoba. I just need to put my teeth in and then the tractors roll. Hold on Lapo, we're a comin' for ya!
  14. I don't disagree. I preferred Infinity War because of all the narratives they needed to tie together. I thought it was a remarkable feat. I also enjoyed it more with the pace and storytelling. I'm not sure if it's a better movie. I need to sit down and watch Black Panther again to help me determine where it fits. I remember commenting, at the time to my friends, that it was a top 5 all time Marvel movie.
  15. Because it's one of the best pictures of the year? Don't discount it because it's a superhero movie.
  16. Lapo held hostage. Day 3. We're meeting at Humpty's for skillets before we head east. We still haven't found someone who can read a map, so we're going to use the sun as a guide. Unfortunately, it's cloudy today, so we may need to postpone the journey another day. Fear not Lapo, we're on our way!
  17. BOMBERS RE-SIGN NATIONAL OFFENSIVE LINEMAN MICHAEL COUTURE Good, now get the two starters signed and we're golden.
  18. He's Lionel Hutz, the law talking guy.
  19. Wait, do we still need Loffler as a ratio breaker? What are our National options here?
  20. Yeah, I don't think he meets the terms. We signed him as a Group 6 UFA and I believe he reverts back to an RFA unless he meets certain conditions (age 27 and 3 qualifying years). I don't think he's met those terms.

    I'll mark that on my calendar. In fact, the whole series looks cool. Bailey and Walker vs Villeneuve are the other two that I'm most looking forward to.
  22. Lapo held hostage. Day 2. We're firing up the tractors and headed to Manitoba in order to rescue Lapolice from his incarceration. Hopefully, we'll find someone who can read a map and someone with a compass.
  23. ...Giuliani said in a statement Friday that "any suggestion — from any source — that the President counselled Michael Cohen to lie is categorically false." Source: CBC So, is the over-under on this 2 weeks before Giuliani is on TV saying that it's not a crime for a sitting President to direct someone to lie to Congress?
  24. There's a good reason Cocaine Mitch won't let them vote, he's afraid they'll pass it (again) but this time with a super-majority so Trump can't veto it. In fact, the best strategy for Trump in this situation would be to allow the vote to come without the ability to veto it. He can jump up and down and try to make it an election issue. He can tweet away in his diaper and throw things. Of course, we all know that he won't make it to the next election but still...
