  1. Letting the Rider fans know he's unhappy & he'll become a free agent Feb 8th. He was my son's teammate as well as his Go To guy at SFU but he hasn't played one season in the CFL where he didn't miss significant time with injuries. He should be coming in at $110-115 thousand & show the Lions he's worth more. That he can play a full 18 game sched & put up a thousand yards. That contract is ridiculous.
  2. In Season 1 they took the Klingons & totally screwed up their look & culture into something I don't know what they became. The reason they did it it was simply because they could. They screwed up so bad that the writers had to take Discovery a thousand years into the future so they couldn't screw up anymore. It's just a lousy series with lousy writing. Hard to follow & understand season long arcs & (I know I'm going to catch heat for this) virtue signalling.
  3. You know I love the guys from yesteryear as they never get their due. I'm one fan who tries to do that but yeah, I have to agree. Stanley Bryant is just that. The GOAT from any era on any CFL team. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.
  4. You have to ask? Same with Massoli. It's not done yet.
  5. That was 1978 & album sales were massive.
  6. I certainly don't get the impression Harris wants to retire. There'd have been media stories already.
  7. I don't like Discovery. It's become the Sonequa Martin-Green Show as her character Michael Burnham is in every scene. The premise of Discovery was supposed to be from a bridge officer who wasn't the Captain. So, what happens? She becomes Captain. Instead of Saru who as Captain would have made for some interesting scenarios. The season long arcs the series uses doesn't work. Especially with a 6 week hiatus. It would be much better if it was an episodic series. More storylines & character development would happen.
  8. When the Riders lose in the playoffs again, Rocky will say that's something he knows we'll really like.
  9. So sorry. My condolences to you & your family.
  10. Love to see Mullinder pissed off. He's thrown a lot of shade on the Bombers the past few years.
  11. Who are you referrring to? From what I read & heard, the Bombers spent close to the floor than the ceiling in 2021 so I'm sure Walters knows what he's doing.
  12. Yep, more Bomber content the better!
  13. You don't have to worry about Massoli as Zach signed this afternoon. I doubt if Streveler is coming back. I'd rather we spend the money we'd have to pay him to sign either Kenney Lawler or Rasheed Bailey. What a day!!!!! First Biggie. Then Zach. Now Geoff Gray! https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/01/17/im-happy-gray-staying-home/
  14. Zach & Biggie in one day!!!
  15. Which tells you one year deals should be eliminated. Most players want to sign for longer. The CFL & CFLPA have to rectify this asap. Work out something in the CBA both sides can live with so players can stay put longer.
  16. Reid coached under Mike Holmgren. He brought that knowledge of the West Coast Offense with him to Philly. I'm not sure if he still runs that offense as Eric Bienemy is the OC in Kansas City.
  17. A wise old sage (not T Burg) said, "Be careful what you wish for as it may come true".
  18. He was a D3 receiver. Never played pro football. Never played qb. His offense is based on his knowledge as a receiver. He isn't a qb coach. Jacques Chapdelaine was the same way. A receiver at SFU & the CFL. Never coached qbs. His offense was geared to what he knew as a receiver. You can ask anyone who played for Jacques at the qb position. It was a complex offense not qb friendly.
  19. Adam Bighill is back & we are so happy.
  20. Not sold on McGuire. I think we can do better.
  21. Philips throwing mechanics worked for him. I doubt others could throw the ball the way he did with the same kind of accuracy. Certainly Strevy's passing mechanics makes him throw wild sometimes & his accuracy is inconsistent. One time he can thread the needle. The next throw he has a pick. His game is run first & pass 2nd. I will stick to my feeling he is a gimmick qb working well with a short playbook suited to his physical attributes as a qb. When Nichols went down in 19, Strev really struggled with the entire playbook. When Zach came in, Streveler's role totally changed to what he's good at. Short yardage, run the ball & throw quick, short passes. I'll give him credit in that he did find some of his receivers open downfield when he played.
  22. Hey, T Burg. Who damn well cares? That was 2 years ago. This team has won B2B Grey Cups. There's no asterisk after that win in 2019. No one cares what the Bomber record was in 2019. In 1970, the Als played the Stampeders in the Grey Cup. The Als beat the Stamps that day. What was their record that season? Do you know? Do you care? Does anyone care?? No. Nobody cares if the Als were an elite or MOR team. Is there an asterisk beside the Als winning the Grey Cup? All they know is they were league champs that year. That's all that matters. In 1989, the Riders beat the Tiger Cats in the Grey Cup. Was Saskatchewan an elite team? Do you know? Do you care? Does anybody care? Is there an asterisk beside the Riders win? All fans care about is they were Grey Cup champs. What about 2017? Were the Argos an elite team? Does anybody care? All fans know is that they were Grey Cup champions that season. Were the Argos an elite team? Is there an asterisk beside the Argos as champs? No one will care. No one cares now. All fans will care about is the Argos were Grey Cup champs. The only one who seems to care about this is you. None of the rest of us do. We just care about the fact the Bombers were champs in 2019. MOR team or not. The absolute & total physical beatdown of the Ti Cats in that championship game showed that they were deserving winners.
  23. It's not the mindset. It's the physical part - mechanics.
  24. Agree. I used to call him a "gimmick qb". I just think he's an absolute run first qb. Tough as nails & fires everyone up. He makes plays & wins with his legs but not his arm. Give him a package of run/short pass plays he shines. Give him the entire playbook & he struggles.
