Try it as Clint Eastwood. It's more fun.

Paywall. Can somebody show this story?

I think Dane Evans & Jeremiah Massoli would be crazy to sign new deals before free agency. Teams will jump on them. More Evans than Massoli but wowx with all the FA qbs you have to figure it'll be crazy the first day of free agency. I can see Chris Jones wanting to sign his qb so he may release Arbuckle & Cornelius. I think Collaros will sign here but we need our Hoggies back to protect him.

Nope, I'll take our OT format over the NFL's. The winner of the coin toss down there is statistically the winner.

The NFL OT format sucks. A team that scores a TD on the 1st possession automatically wins. The other team doesn't even get a chance. So Roger Goodell like.

I don't.

Fans & TSN don't want games to drag to almost 4 hours so hence the format. They want one team toscore quick & get off the field. They just gotta show us the New Kids On The Block from fresh from Ryerson on Sports Desk.

Rest In Peace, John Madden. I remember him as a Head Coach not just the name on Madden. and as an analyst on CBS & Fox with Pat Summerall .

I ain't complaining. We lost the toss & the crowd cheered. We went out & scored. Then got the 2 point convert. The Ti Cats couldn't get it done in the clutch. Massoli made one of his Big Time throws... to us.

Read the comments above.

TB4, I see your disagreement emoticon. Well, you don't have to agree with some of us that it was a great play, maybe the best of all time. But at least give the Bombers D credit for making it. Along with Simoni Lawrence belly aching on Twitter that he deserved the CFL DPOTY award over Adam Bighill. Then Marshall Ferguson's Big Time Throws Of The Year's with 25% of those plays going to Hamilton QBs. All the whining & crying by Hamilton does indeed make it sweeter. The Bombers are living rent free in all of Hamilton's heads right now from the players, coaches, management, ownership, media & fans. They are psyched right out. Yeah, considering he said mid season that his receivers can't make those contested catches.

J Con looking dashing a la Bat Masterson.

That's why it's soooo sweet.

That's the thing, right? It's all subjective & obviously bent in the Ti Cats favour with 16 out of 64 Big Play Throws which is a quarter of all the plays he rated. Ferguson does the Ti Cats radio broadcasts on TSN Radio.

You look good in a top hat, J Con.

I also want to add to what I said by saying that Pierce just doesn't run LaPo's offense like some religious fool who worshipped at his feet. He also played under other OC's in BC & Winnipeg & he would have been influenced by them as well. He has a huge toolbox of knowledge & experience to draw from. The other is, Lapo was a receiver at a D3 college who never played in the CFL. Therefore, LaPo's knowledge would come from a different base. The qb reads would be different under Buck's system than LaPo's. Buck's offense would be more qb friendly with terminology than LaPo's. It would come from a different perspective.

Only YOU could turn trashy stats like that into further pumping LaPo's tires. As far as Buck expanding upon LaPo's system, the longer the season went on, the less we saw of it. There weren't checkdown after checkdowns to the running backs. We pushed the ball downfield under Pierce. We didn't go all out to then sit on a 10 point lead for three quarters. We kept on going offensively. Only when we didn't play our starters in the last 2 regular season games did I feel the offense was spinning its wheels like it did all the time under LaPo. The other 12 we were better than the other 8 teams in the CFL. Buck played to win while LaPo has always played not to lose.

The Bombers win B2B Grey Cups. Collaros is MOP. He's a CFL All Star. We had the highest scoring offense. We went 11-3. Lawler was the leading receiver in the CFL & the only pass catcher to have over a thousand yards. He was also a CFL All Star & our qb only has 4 "Big Time Throws" during the regular season & none in the playoffs or Grey Cup? Yet Massoli who threw the ball for The Pick in OT had 12??? WTH is this about other than to try & discredit what the Bombers did from a Hamilton cry baby? Chris "Fricking" Evans had 2??? Hamilton media & fans will always be bitter about how we stole what should have been rightfully theirs. They'll never give us credit where credit is due. Makes our victory even sweeter.

I doubt Mortada would have gone 5 for 5 meaning the Ti Cats would have won.

The Lions could have saved themselves some money.

Why would Collaros play behind that tire fire of an offensive line?

Exactly. The time, the place & the situation just made it such an incredible play.

What else happened in 1958 when the Blue Bombers won their FOURTH Grey Cup.... Didn't sell well, either. Kellogg's invented Cocoa Krispies. Louis St Laurent was Prime Minister Dwight Eisenhower was President. Downtown Regina in 1958.

During the season he's a guest once a week on Sports Talk on CHQR radio here in Calgary. The questions never challenge what he says on television broadcasts They're all soft ball type. "Hey Glenn, doing a great job, what's your opinion on....??" I stopped listening years ago.

Justin Dunk covers the league but I believe John Hodge is a teacher. He's a fan first. No one will confide in him if they're a coach or GM. It would be like you & I calling Kyle Walters & asking his opinions. He'd hang up.
