30-25 Bombers.

Q is Evan Holm. The storm is coming.

This board is putting a lot of pressure on Holm. He has the athletic pedigree of a Dan Clark sure, but does he have the poise?

I don’t know. Holm still gives me a practice monster Davin Bush vibe. Hope I’m wrong. Count me underwhelmed as well Re: Dline. That being said, with this offence, worst case Ontario they win a lot of games in the 42-38 range.

West: Winnipeg BC Calgary Edmonton Sask East: Everyone is tied for first at. 500, except Montreal who finish 2-16 No crossover Bombers over Hamilton in the GC again.

That’s just it. Anyone who isn’t extreme has been pushed out already. Look at O’Toole. He was as old-school con as you can get these days, and they railroaded him out because he voted for a conversion therapy ban.

You’re right on that. Active roster too, Tyquan Glass was the starting field CB week 1 last year. The DT spot is still kind of meh to me, but I get your point about not bitching about it too soon.

I don’t think you’re any of those things. I certainly am not a conservative, so I’d probably never agree with you politically. I’ve enjoyed talking football and reading your stories about the 70’s Bombers quite a lot over the years. What bugs me about this conversation, and any political one the last decade or so is the slipperiness of the topic at hand. Everyone I support is fine because someone else did something worse, and we whatabout our way through, skirting every issue. It’s exhausting, and the actual bad guys/nazis (not you personally) want us all exhausted, scared and angry.

What do Faarooq and Bradshaw have to do with any of this? I’m not playing the nickname game. If you can’t see what you’re doing here, you don’t want to.

For an in-game backup mayyybe. I’d rather see an American if Brady was out for more than a week.

How can you give PP a pass when no one forgave Brian Mulroney? Doesn’t make any sense ? No worries, I’m just poking the bear or whatever. The thoughtful points you have when you argue like this get totally lost.

Well as the active roster stands right now, he’s on there. I’m not talking about replacement in number of reps. I’m talking about replacement of a roster spot in itself. I said it seems silly to have Shmeckel on the active roster (which he currently is, albeit could be the game day scratch) while Caleb Thomas is on the PR. The one mildly annoying thing about O’Shea is at times, the roster management can seem a little odd. This is part and parcel with that. For real though, it’s preseason. Bombers are the best team in the league. We’re nitpicking because it’s what we do.

No, not every other club has picked up gems in the off-season. DT in particular is a position that has gotten progressively worse since November 2019. They let Nevis and Stove walk, replaced them with Sayles and now Walker, who aren’t bad by any stretch but certainly downgrades. Now they’ve let Sayles walk and replaced him with…Tanner Shmeckel It’s mildly concerning.

Yeah it kind of seems like the whole camp was a punting and 3rd QB competition. Surprised Shmeckel made the team, let alone the active roster, I saw him get manhandled 4 or 5 times over the games. Not being able to fit Caleb Thomas on the AR is silly. As is only having one extra DE. (I’m not counting Bennett as reliable to fill in just yet) Few too many guys making the club from the tub as well. I don’t think the sky is falling but this sure didn’t feel like a typical draft or American recruiting year.

The comparison was just so out of left field to me. I’m certainly not going to get into a whole other thing on what Kinew did. I’ll say that it sucks that he was abusive towards a woman. I’ve been more or less a lifelong NDP voter. To be honest, I’d be inclined to for the MB Liberals right now first, if they even had a smidgen of standing. As it is, I’m not a millionaire or an evangelical so I have absolutely no reason to support the Conservative party in any form. I’ll be voting NDP again in October, despite the fact that I think they could choose a better leader.

"These are not episodes in my life I'm proud of," Kinew said. "I struggled with alcohol, and that caused me to behave in ways that weren't healthy for me, or those around me. When the alcohol stopped, so did the fights. Violence, racism, and sexism are unacceptable. I've apologized unequivocally, and I do so again: to anyone I harmed, I am sorry” "Because of my past, I understand the challenges of young people in our society who are struggling with the same things I was — alcohol, addictions, anger. I know that they can do better, because I learned how to do better," Kinew said. Kinew attended sweat lodges "to purify himself" and participated in a sun dance event, during which he fasted for four days and pulled buffalo skulls by piercings cut into his body. "Suffice it to say, it shows a significant degree of commitment by the individual who attends," Miller said. Kinew also began attending regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. "While abstaining from alcohol, he has had no involvement in the justice system," Miller said. "He realizes this is a lifelong path he has to follow." I don’t know why I’m even biting on this, but @SpeedFlex27 The comparison to Bobby Hull.. Come on, I know you’re better than that. First of all, you’re comparing a guy who’s running for Premier to a wife beating, Hitler idolizing (and dead) hockey player. Second, there’s zero indication Bobby Hull showed any kind of remorse or accountability for his behaviour. Third, regardless of what party is in charge, healthcare is a mess everywhere in this country right now. It just so happens that the Manitoba PC party have deliberately and methodically used policy to make Manitoba health care worse.

Oh and Reggie Slack too

Ok so we’ve got a consensus. Piggy is a combination of KG, Strev, Russ Michna, Tracy Ham, Bryan Randall and Ricky Ray. For real though, I think it’s a consensus he’s worth developing at the very least.

Augustine has looked awful, and I’ve always been bullish on him. He might be past it, or nicked I just don’t know what’s up there.

One more VERY Happy Honker Award for the little boy who sang O Canada. Heart disease survivor. Transplant at 4 months old. Personally, the story hits very close to home. Seeing this little guy with his parents had me straight up bawling. Couldn’t be happier for them!

While I wouldn’t say Ricky Ray, that throw to Agudosi had some touch.

I missed that play dealing with the kid. My Dad said it looked like Parker got hit in the bag.

HH- No major injuries in either exhibition game.
