Did the ball cross the goal line on Kehoe's fumble? It was pretty close.

In 1986, our three qbs were Tom Clements, John Hufnagel, Jim Zorn & on the PR Tom Muecke. I see Muecke was dressed & on the sidelines. Clements was out of the lineup with an injury so he was elevated to #3 qb position. The game itself hasn't changed that much since 1986. I know Rich was talking about that if they went back 40 years from this game shown it would be 1946 but the same basic stuff is still going on. The equipment (helmets) are better & we have video replays. That fumble may have been overturned for a TD today if it touched the white end zone line. The game really changed from 1946-86 & not so much from 1986-2024. I just remember being so pissed at Kehoe after that game. He had two jobs.... Find a hole & score & then PROTECT THE ******* BALL!!!!!!!

I remember that fumble. What a killer mistake by Sean Kehoe. I think that was his last game as a Blue Bomber. YOU never heard of him...

There was a reason for that. When football started to transition to the "soccer style" kickers in the late 60's, they had no coaches anywhere who knew how to coach these new type of kickers. It took until the first wave of new kickers retired in the mid to late 70's & started coaching themselves that the kicking game slowly began to improve. A lot of these kickers still had to play other positions. Ted Gerela was the CFL's first soccer style kicker but was also a linebacker for the Lions when he broke into the league in 1967/68. Guys used to practice alone with no coaching. They ended up practicing their mistakes & really not improving as kickers as no one was there to help them. Considering everything they went thru, these pioneers actually did okay. Walt McKee was the Bombers first soccer style kicker in 1972 & he was a career 52% kicker. That was actually considered pretty good back then. The change was on as the kickers revolutionized the position. There are no more straight on kickers anymore. Today, kids as young as 10 years of age can sign up for kicking camps everywhere, It's no wonder that great kickers now have stats percentages in the mid to high 80's.

That would require work. I get the impression that our so called Commissioner, his staff & the Board of Governors would rather not do any of that.

Anytime.

if you call him out on those takes which I have in the past then he gets pissed off. And a couple of years ago he kept saying the Bombers OL was overrated & the Stamps were better. So then, why all the Bomber all stars on the line???

Yeah but the time zone keep getting later the further east over the Atlantic into Britain & Europe. London is 8 hours ahead of LA. The time zones will be a big problem.

Ryan Ballantyne. He isn't credible because he's a Stamps Boi. He doesn't care about other teams. Just the Stamps. He believes he's a credible member of the CFL media. I disagree because he's a Stamps fan. My feeling if you want to be considered a member of the legit "media" then you can't show your biases when you're reporting stories & have to be neutral. I've occasionally had the odd run in with him online. (Surprise, surprise ).... He doesn't like it if someone questions his analysis.

Drew Edwards, the beat writer from the Ti Cats started it. He was reassigned & was never heard from again.

I have no problem with Booch voicing his concern over the wat our roster is utilized, whether once or a thousand times. Why do you??

Environmant Canada really scaled back the amount of snow the Winnipeg area will get. At least from the forecast I read this morning. I think the amount of rain & freezing rain will affect the amount of snow you guys get. Here in Calgary, we've got close to 20 cms of new snow on the ground. We've had 2 years of bad drought so I hope that this means we'll get more snow & rain for the remainder of March & into spring.

It was so bad I remember some posters here being angry Justin Goltz was benched. That list makes you wonder why people wanted Brown to start over Collaros.

That's a drunk not a sexual predator. It didn't sound like he was interested in anything sexual (thankfully). He's either on a psych ward now getting treatment for mental illness or going to AA meetings.

Is this an actual story or an analogy?

Yes, you got that right.

Typical Noeller. I wasn't criticizing. I was listing some of the things he did by memory. Hence Boeing & not Bristol Arerospace. Noeller was 6 when Mulroney was PM.

It probably kept him busy & made him feel better doing it. Sad.

Yeah, let's make fun of JFK getting the back of his head blown off with his brain matter & shattered skull covering his horrified wife. Well done....

Not the greatest PM in Canadian history. He brought in the free trade agreement, with the US & Mexico, saw the CF 18 contract given to Bombardier in Montreal rather than Boeing in Winnipeg which led to the rise of Western Populism & the Reform Party with the slogan, "The West Wants In". He brought in the GST, the Meech Lake Accords & had a few scandals in his second term that caused the Liberals to come back... Certainly Jean Chretien's career was resurrected from the ashes because of it. May he Rest in Peace.

I agree but let's let the investigation take place before we jump to conclusions.

Leo turned into a very good OLB. Too bad we had to trade him to Hamilton along with SB Gord Patterson. Patterson & Jauch couldn't stand one another. He benched Patterson in 1979 even though we were the first team in the CFL to get rid of the TE (Ezerins) in favour of an extra SB.. That should have been Patterson but Jauch said nope.

Certainly looks real. Man, have styles & tastes changed.

Yes, I certainly get that but my reaction is good for him. As a GM, you can't build a defense around guys like Muamba that just leave every year. I'm sure Adam Bighill wanted to provide security for his family as well. Yet, when he was still in his prime in 2018 he came to Winnipeg & in this world of one year deals put down roots. He even restructured his contract to take less to help sign other Bomber & CFL free agents. I hate the one year deals. They do nothing for the CFL except let guys move around unfettered & have driven up salaries. We're the only pro league I know of that doesn't have some kind of restricted free agency yet we have a ridiculously low salary cap. Like most things the CFL does, to me it makes no sense.
