  1. TSN loves the guy. He tries to injure players every game but that's okay. Piece of crud.
  2. Nice. Proud of it.
  3. Huff fell out of favour with Dave Dickenson about 3 weeks ago when he was a healthy scratch. Then they brought him back last game. Stamps have a bye week & he was cut.
  4. I'll just take the win. Well, I think we know the answer to that.
  5. When I met my girlfriend who would become my wife 2 years later, as guys we all do things to impress. About 2 months after we started going out she called me to ask if I'd be willing to go the RWB. Good thing she couldn't see my reaction on the other end of the TELEphone. I just rolled my eyes & said yes. So we went. Haven't been back since. She knows it wasn't my cuppa tea but did it because she wanted to go. Like the song says, "The things we do for love',
  6. A couple of takeaways from last night's games: TSN just pumps the tires of certain players. One of them is Simoni Lawrence. He's one of the dirtiest players in the CFl. He's been fined multiple times & suspended yet there's TSN calling him a great guy over & over. Fajardo & the deep ball. I swear to God if I hear that one more time...
  7. The Jets should sell a full sized replica mask.
  8. What doesn't Winnipeg offer? Eight hundred thousand people live in the metro area. I live in Calgary & we have 1.4 million. Winnipeg has everything Calgary has. Sure, we have mountains next door but no lakes & I tell ya... mountains are great but I'd rather spend time in the summer at Grand or Hillside Beach, the Whiteshell or NW Ontario. Swim or fishing.
  9. You should lose sleep. Not every qb is suited to a team's system. Weii, if that happens before Reilly retires & even then I don't want him. Too old & too expensive.
  10. I can't see a universe in existence where the Bombers let Collaros leave & sign Reilly.
  11. FYI: Highbaugh. Now you know...... The rest of the story.
  12. I didn't think Holley would come back to the Stamps as he was embroiled in a dispute with GM John Hufnagel after the 2019 season when he refused to let him out of his contract to work out for any NFL teams. Holley & his agent were livid. Finally Huff relented but not until spring instead of December. Interestingly, Holley's brother is a receiver with the Stamps this season & has appeared in a few games as an injury replacement. Nye is a POS.
  13. I absolutely love Zach Collaros as a Bomber fan. He can work magic out there by scrambling & extending plays. He doesn't take off & run much with the ball which is a good thing but he can wear out a defensive line as they are in chase mode all game.
  14. I'd like Dane Evans but not Masoli or Reilly. Reilly is getting old fast in front of our eyes. I haven't seen him engage with his offense once this season on the sidelines to fire them up. He just goes to the bench, sits down & stares at his device. Only seems to talk to Nathan Rourke. He looks pissed off all the time. With his OL I don't blame him but leadership isn't about pouting or pointing fingers. It's about inspiring others & making them believe they can win. I don't see any of that with Reilly.
  15. Every great championship team has a great OL. Troy Aikman behind the Wall of Dallas. Tom Clements behind the 1984 Bombers OL with Lyle Bauer, Mark Moors, val Belcher, John Bonk. Nick Bastaja & Chris Walby, Edmonton's OL with first Tom Wilkinson, Warren Moon & then Matt Dunigan & Damon Allen. the Green Bay packers of the 1960's with their two pulling guards Jerry Kraemer & Jim Ringo leading the Green Bay Sweep & protecting QB Bart Starr. I mean, no one can say that it's 70% OL & 30% QB. It's a team effort with all the players meshing together believing in their cause & brotherhood.
  16. Who would they be?
  17. For the sake of discussion here, if Zach can't play in the GC because he's unvaccinated (which I understand he is vaxxed) then I don't want him. Why would I want Collaros in the West Final & McGuire in the Grey Cup? We saw that Dog & Pony Show before in the Grey Cup with Ryan Dinwiddie after Kevin Glenn broke his arm in the East Final. No thanks.
  18. Yes, I would say get rid of him. I don't care who he is because he won't be playing in the Western Final.
  19. Err.. yeah... Begelton not Brescascin. Duh??!!
  20. No one will hate you as this is the thread to talk about it. Stamps receiver Terry Evanshen was always one of my favourite non Bomber player. He won a Schenley Award as the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian in 1967. Another favourite non Bomber (before he became one) was Receiver/DB & Kicker Rick Shaw. He could play offense or defense & was extremely versatile. The Bomber coaches plugged him in wherever he was needed. I was excited when he signed with the Bombers in 1970 & he played extremely well. He spent just one season & never came back in 71 which made no sense to me. He would have made us a lot better that year. I think he signed with the Ti Cats. Turns out that HC at the time Jim Spavital didn't want him back. Probably a money issue.
  21. Bottom line is get vaxxed or leave. FIFO.
  22. I said this yesterday but Mitchell has no more excuses of young receivers making mistakes or dropping catchable footballs. He now has Jorden & Brescascin to throw to. If he can't be successful with those 2 veterans then yes, he needs to be replaced by Maier next season who has shown plenty of promise.
  23. I think they'll be all in on developing caleb Evans. Besides, LaPo doesn't believe he needs veterans at receiver to win. If I was a FA qb, Ottawa would be the last place I'd want to play. Ottawa is where qbs go to die career wise. I think there'll be a mass exodus of veterans who'll want outta there.
  24. I just finished watching that news conference. Honestly, I don't know what to thnk now. What do others here think? Chipman was very unhappy. Looking down a lot & not making eye contact.
  25. I guess these selfish players spell team with an "I".
