Congrats to the 11 Blue Bombers named to the CFL All Star Team!!

He does want to retire so I'm sure that's what he'll do. If anyone deserves to ride off into the sunset a winner, it's Bob Irving.

I agree. Another stupid Randy Ambrosie initiative to cut costs that affecting play as well as scoring. A QB driven league & we can't have competent backups or develop young third stringers.

I'm not against McGuire coming back. I just want competition at the #2 position. Whether that's signing another young qb or bringing in a veteran backup. He needs to be pushed because of competition in order to get better.

Life & times were different back then. We supported the West while people in the Eastern Conference supported the East. It's not like that anymore. There really was a rivalry back then because two separate leagues merged in 1958 to form the CFL. Bragging rights were still important. The West was always considered the B league. Lancaster, Reed, & the Riders were classy so fans didn't hate them like fans hate the Riders now. So we cheered for Saskatchewan. Fans today would have a hard time getting their heads around that today.

Agree. The starting qbs in this league & the NFL all have to deal with personal & family issues. As well as distractions that are good & bad. You don't think Tom Brady had personal & family things going on during his career? MIke Reilly had to deal with the death of his Mother. Anthony Calvillo's wife had cancer & he played at a high level with a heavy heart. Even if Stanley Bryant had played & that entire OL was intact wouldn't have made a difference. Weather is part of the game. McGuire wasn't ready to play. I thought he'd go out there & light it up. Nope.

I have no problem with that but he was given the #2 spot this season & he needs to earn it. So, I'd like to see the Bombers sign another qb that he truly has to compete against. Other players have to earn their spots so should McGuire. Question: If Collaros had been injured in the West Final & McGuire came in & played the same way that he did in Montreal, would we be willing to cut him some slack had we lost? I doubt it. I expected a lot more from McGuire.

Twenty seconds left in the game. Ottawa down 20-16. Saskatchewan was the heavy favourite. Clements was a second year pro qb while Lancaster was a 17 year veteran. Then busted coverage in the Roughrider secondary at the worst possible time. Gabriel wide freaking open. A 35 yard clutch throw & catch from Clements to Gabriel for the win 23-20. I remember just how big that play was. It was classic!!

Best Christmas Evarrrr. Worst spring in history.

I wonder if the Bombers will be looking to upgrade the #2 qb spot. I was disappointed in Sean McGuire. When he had his chance to show he could be the heir apparent to Zach it was an epic fail. He looked nervous & confused. A second year pro shouldn't be that way. I dunno. See my comments above.

I'll drive as I now have the time. I don't have to be at work at 6:30 am every morning anymore.

He'll be playing elsewhere. It might be Hamilton if both Massoli & Evans leave.

Anyone ever see that interview Jim Rome had with LA Rams QB Jim Everett back in 1994 where Rome kept calling him "Chris" or "Chrissy" (referring to tennis star Chris Everett). This is what happened... Cody might snap like Chrissy did here. This interview made Jim Rome famous & he's now the highest paid sports announcer in America. Not the greatest audio quality...

Maier won't stay. He'll sign elsewhere. If he wants to back up Mitchell then he might as well sign here backing up Collaros. BLM should be the one to leave. If Wally was the GM & head coach, BLM wouldn't be back. Wally cut Allen Pitts after a thousand yard season so he could sign another slotback who was younger & cheaper. Wally was cutthroat.

I'm hoping for you as well. We who live in Alberta have no idea what that moron is doing. I hope everyone can get a booster much sooner rather than later. If the unvaccinated (the ones that refuse to be vaccinated) get sick they should be triaged & sent home. Why should they get treatment & others don't & they die. It's time for this bullshit to stop.

He was the worst. Second was Northern Skunk.

My first game I ever saw was in August 1969. The Bombers beat the Riders 16-14. I remember running on the field & Ron Lancaster walked by me among other players from both teams. I was in awe as all those players on the field were all heroes to me. Back then, we didn't have NFL football on TV. We saw a couple of games a week. Only Toronto, Montreal had NHL teams & the WHA was still 3 years away. The internet was still 20 years away from existing. I went to 3 or 4 games a year until 1974 when I got season tickets & had them until 1990 when my wife & our family moved to Calgary. Now, I'm excited to say I bought two seats in Section 227 with a 3 game flex pack. for 2022. I'm back, baby!!! Three games is a big deal to me. I'm excited!! Hopefully see some of you guys in 2022!!

Yeah, that bond is amazing when you look down the bench at your teammates & suddenly you're filled with confidence that you won't... CAN'T... lose. That you'll all come through at the end. Powerful stuff. When Zach says he loves his teammates, he really means it.

Thanks bearpants. Nice of you to say that. Appreciate it.

Thanks, that's the guy.

Who was the guy who was in love with Chris Streveler in a creepy kind of way? He kept calling him Big Chris.

I meant the CFL. Most guys are really good.

Khari coached young qbs in Calgary at a Multi Sports training facility for a couple of years after he retired. He told me then that he wanted to be absolutely certain he didn't want to play anymore before he would pursue coaching opportunities. He did want to coach at the NCAA or CFL level & he was just biding his time. Meanwhile, my son learned from him as a high school qb. He was a great guy. Most former pros are btw.

I used to chat with Khari's Dad on facebook years ago. Khari knew I was as well. He told me Khari's story. He was a very nice man. We had some interesting discussions as I recall. And they wonder why they've only won 4 Grey Cups... Lol.

Nate ran for the hills. Here is exclusive footage of him in training.
