We went out for dinner & came back to see the Cats are ahead of the Stamps 21-10. Didn't see a game day thread so I figured I'd start one. Second half underway. Another greta crowd in Calgary. The Philpott brothers. Lots of talent with them but always getting injured. I wonder about their endurance & toughness.

Massivbe chip? he's lucky to still be in the league. There are a 500 qbs in the US who can do what he does.

Of course the guy here claiming we have big egos has the biggest ego of all. Looks like his big ego shrank his brain.

My son & his wife live in Edgewood, Wa. Ottawa offense playing better because no LaPo.

Nick Arbuckle & Trey Hornbuckle. Or is it Trey Arbuckle & Nick Hornbuckle. Wait, what???? Lol.

LaPo was never a qb. He was a D3 receiver. He doesn't look at the defense the way a qb does. Jacques Chapdelaine was a receiver as well. Both offenses are set up differently & aren't qb friendly. My son played qb for Chap at SFU. It was his CFL offense that he modified for 4 down football. The qbs all had difficulties picking it up. The terminology & plays are different. Both Chap & LaPo didn't have a lot of success calling the plays in the CFL either.

Will Arndt calling the plays. Young coach, good for him.

The RedBlacks do look like a different team under Bob Dyce. Who is calling the plays?

Yeah. That's right. And to thank Parcells who rescued Belichek's career after his firing in Cleveland Belichek screwed him over with the NY Jets HC job. I just want LaPo to stay the **** away from the Bombers.

Forde keeps making excuses for these guys. Yeah, yeah, the game is fast. We know that. Forde's a dinosaur. Get with the new rules, Dwayne. I don't know. I don't recall. Mike Holmgren sure did.

Looks like a decent crowd in Ottawa tonite.

Every coach has an influencer or mentor who helped them. I'd love to know who Bill Belichek's mentor was.

I'm watching this game on ESPN in Seattle. No Canadian commercials. All American. And they're all different. How refreshing.

Yeah, I had reconstructive surgery on both my feet in 2012 & 2015 due to severe arthritis. I had hardware in both feet. My left foot still has hardware but they were taken out from my right foot after 9 months. My feet may have been fixed surgically but they were never the same. I have no more pain but I have to use a cane to walk because my feet don't work properly as bones have been fused. I have balance issues. I'm 67 & my athletic days are long gone but if I had these surgeries at age 27, I'd have been devastated.

Never really watched the show but okay.

Look what happened to Steve Richardson. Injured twice while working out.

He wouldn't get a small paycheque but it would be pro rated. Playing & winning a championship is important. Sign a contract, play for us & try again next year. That's me, though... If i was as talented as Desjarlais, I'd find sitting & waiting very difficult.

A serious foot injury like this is life altering. It's a big deal. Player safety is player safety whether it's a brain or foot injury.

Voting for Rourke is anti Bomber.

Well, most of us laugh out loud at what you post here so carry on.

Always the same players. There should be an escalating scale for repeatr offenders. Half a game salary doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent for these players. These things never seem to be addressed in collective bargaining as both parties wait too long to negotiate & are under the gun to get a deal done.

Meanwhile Drew Desjarlais waits for a phone call that may never come. Like that REALLY GREAT job interview we've all had & thinking we nailed it!!!Then waiting... for... that... phone... call... that... never.... came.

The Lions & Campbell are so damned desperate. The kid ain't ready. The other thing is Rourke himself & especially his agent. The guy wants an NFL shot so why risk a permanent long term injury? Especially for the money they're paying him which is peanuts. NFL teams shut their players down for a year after this injury happens. Everyone associated with this injury are stupid here. Like Booch says, okay play the kid. It's on all of them if something bad happens.
