Jones and Howard aren't exactly established enough to bring anything in a trade, especially with one of them on the PR. I'm not trading January after the game our OL had either.

Looks like the scoring has been fixed.

I'm gonna pick Nic Grigsby EDIT on July 3rd

And this is why I wait for the full story before commenting.

I thought Bucknor got picked on a little, so that will be a competition to watch perhaps. I'm surprised you didn't mention Dan West. Was really happy with JFG (expected) and Sherman (unexpected)

You know, I thought the Winnipeg defense would have a decent fantasy score last night. Apparently not. D/ST Winnipeg (D/ST) -20974 That really offsets the points I got from everybody else. All jokes aside, I think they should have got 12 points. Not minus a billion or whatever.

WINNIPEG 93 TORONTO 2 (we concede a safety out of pity) DREW WILLY 38 of 39 (he threw one into the stands to try and hit a guy harassing an innocent female and broke the guy's arm with the toss) for 912 yards and 8 touchdowns NIC GRIGSBY 377 yards rushing ZACH ANDERSON 12 sacks RICKY RAY 1/22 12 interceptions -7 yards passing CHRIS RANDLE 6 interceptions, 6 more tipped balls to other teammates for interceptions

don't. this is the dawn of the rebuild that the Bombers should have begun several years ago. the Wade/Kyle/Osh thing needs a year to gain traction and momentum. yeah, i know you've heard that refrain several times over the last 2 decades... and that the emotional stamina required to willingly get on the same roller coaster that has made you nauseous over and over is immense (i am a Leaf fan after all)... but the aggregate of the Bomber's moves since Miller came on board (and put Walters in place, and hired O'Shea and allowed him to have a dozen other coaches) has got to have you looking at the team's trajectory and believing in it. (heck... i do) I'm more unsure than ever.

I wouldn't say the exact same way. But it's certainly one good way to answer the question. It's not a middle finger to the media either, despite TBurg wanting to spin it that way. And for the record, since you want to make that Mack comparison ... I've already had a few negative things to say about Mike O'Shea. This just isn't one of them.

What's your point?

There are starters and there are backups on every team, the Bombers included. The starters have earned the right to be called starters and the backups hope to earn that right. The starters and the backups know who they are. The opposing coaches know who they are. Everyone who watches tonight's game will know who they are. It's no big secret that the coach has to protect. To me calling everyone starters is the same as giving everyone a participation ribbon in grade school. Then I would venture a guess that you didn't interpret the point of his comment properly.

You know, for a doctor, I'm surprised you haven't been able to diagnose that the horse you're beating is dead already.

This right here tells me that no matter what, even if we have a perfect head coach, you won't like him. Because a perfect coach won't tell you what you want to hear in public. What you're failing to acknowledge is that there's a difference between "saying nice things" and "saying nice things *in public*" ... he's a no nonsense type coach by all accounts, if you trust the players he has coached in past and present. But in the public eye, when everything needs to be cool, calm, collected and balanced? He's not going to give the media anything to run with. And that's how it should be. But you'll never acknowledge it because you can't get 100% guaranteed confirmation that he ISN'T like that in the locker room, despite every single account telling you that he isn't.

greatest first post of all time.

Not to beat a dead horse (although I'd love to)... but isn't that what a leader SHOULD be doing? cc: Tim Burke Nope. Being Suzy sunshine doesn't win games or influence people. A comment like this tells me you either have a bad memory or you never played sports.

Turner 38th Moore 33rd

I did... how could you not??? I had a hell of a time getting under the cap Until I fiddled around with a few things, I had about 30k left over.

Thinking Cornell and Howard.

Anyone actually spend all their money?

Out of those 50 from 2013, I count 21 who won't be on the list this year without even factoring in ability.

He was a divisional all star last year, keep in mind. The league is pretty thin on ESTABLISHED stars right now, it's a very transitional time for the CFL.

I bet we have ... 4 players make the top 50. Will Ford, Bryant Turner, Nick Moore and I bet they sneak Drew Willy in there too.

Ask Alex Hall what kind of leader he thinks Tim Burke is.

What's the point of a 2 man reserve if they can't play? I've never understood that. Me neither, but I'm sure there's a bizarre reason behind it.

Be honest in the locker room. Take the bullet in public.
