Thanks for the reports everybody!

Penton is pretty good. We don't always agree, but he's definitely a thinker. Top 3 Bomber guys in my mind right now are Tait, Bauming and Penton. Irving would be up there but he just doesn't push the volume of coverage that those three do.

Why would Maher be affected at all?

Trade Hamilton for the rights to Evan Gill immediately. He'd play here.

Everyone can breath a sigh of relief ... Pencer has not been taken captive by aliens. He's got the sniffles.

As far as the ratio goes ... if we weren't going 4 OL before, we probably will be now. Or you swing a trade with Hamilton for a DT.

I love O'Shea. His players are going to go to absolute war for him.

That sucks, I feel for Lucas. He worked hard to come back from his injury last year and now this?

Unburger isn't Unburger anymore. It's Nuburger now.

When the players are ready to cave the CFL will throw in one last bone - that way the players can take a positive talking point to the press rather than just admit they lost. I'm not getting the whole neurologist thing. If we had catscan machines on the sidelines that would be one thing, but there is nothing a neurologist is going to do that a non-crappy doctor can't also do. Emergency sideline brain surgery? Symptoms present? Don't go back in the game. I know the NFL has it but that isn't anything more than a multi-billion dollar industry protecting it's butt from lawsuits. Might have helped Tim Burke last year.

It means that the media doesn't know where he is. He's probably not on their injury report OR on the field, meaning it could be anything from a dentist appointment to he was kidnapped by Regina's Somali pirates

Cibo on Waterfront was really good, really great prices too for what you got. Only thing that was weird ... I don't know if we went in the middle of a shift change but there were more staff than customers in the building and only like 2 or 3 of them actually appeared to be working, which is awkward when the whole thing is open concept. *FINALLY* going to Myers Deli on the weekend. Will report back. Other than that, I usually don't frequent unique places so that's it for me.

I wasn't trying to jump over the security sash. Or sit anywhere I didn't sit two days ago. Wasn't wandering around, off exploring. Wanted sunlight. No construction in the area. Just stopping in for 20 minutes on a beautiful summer day, the only 20 minutes I'll spend outside until I get home from work. Didn't want to sit in the cold shadows. Sun on my face, feeling happy for 20 minutes. That's all. I get it, you're posting from 2 provinces away and aren't familiar with the setup at the new stadium. I would have been sitting right by security. If I caused any trouble they wouldn't even have to move to tackle me, just lean forward and let gravity do the work. Was there last summer...very familiar. Point is, instead of assuming the world is out to get you, why not assume that there's a fair and logical reason for their actions? I think what he's implying is that whatever their logical reason is for doing that doesn't seem to be all that logical.

Day 4 kicks off ... anyone in attendance?

I don't hate him, I just don't think he's what you hope for out of an import receiver. A new scouting staff should be able to produce better than that. And from the reports in which we can take with a grain of salt it appears Kelly is excelling over most of the new guys. Should we be pleased that Kelly is stepping up or do we look at this as a red flag at our recruiting ability? Could be any number of things. Maybe he got better. Maybe he's not actually doing as well as fans think. It'll take us game action to know for sure.

Like 1.5 a week I think.

They should get that dude they had on the panel on the night of the CFL Draft Mr. Personality!

Have to say, I'm a little disappointed in Penton. Sean Oleksewycz @seanoleksewycz @PentonKirk @mike_wpg i know that bama head coach nick saban does that same thing at bama... Cant argue with that guy Kirk Penton @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz We're talking about professional sports organizations MIKE @mike_wpg @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz NCAA coaches are professionals and that's what you're talking about - coaches. No difference. Kirk Penton @PentonKirk @mike_wpg No, I'm talking about pro sports versus college sports. They're big boys who can handle themselves MIKE @mike_wpg @PentonKirk @seanoleksewycz so you're implying NCAA coaches aren't "big league" compared to CFL? and they can't handle themselves?

Penton is trying to claim NOBODY does it.

The only one we're likely to hear about is Goossen because he's new and shiny

Exactly. The team has become far more friendly and Friesen is still shitting on them for adopting a policy that is used by almost half the league. I'd have a lot more respect for him if he said he didn't like the policy as opposed to acting as if it's an incredible mistake.

Why is it that you ALWAYS side with the media? If a coach does something the media doesn't like, he's picking a fight? Why couldn't it just once be that the media is behaving inappropriately?

Farhan would be my choice for sure.
