...and if I don't get to play because the jerks punted me from the A league, and we don't get enough for a B league.......gonna be some kinda pissed. Sign up, jerks....
No way does the second league not fill up.
2 more people? No problem. If worst comes to worst, I'll inquire over at the "official" forum.

cute pooch. (and i'm a cat person who doesn't like most dogs)
watched the whole thing... mesmerized by watching the hat get chewed up... those fight songs were just embarrassing... especially the synth solo at 1:30
Now I understand the scarf.

Well, I suppose it would be Suber or Stewart.
Either way, little early to be cutting a veteran imo

Having issues on the site this morning, fonts all whacked out, like having to highlight text with the cursor to be able to have it viewable.
Stuff like Forum Titles aren't viewable for me.
Would love to upload a screen shot, but sadly my proficiency with doing such a thing isn't working out currently.
Hit the print screen button on your keyboard, then open Paint, paste the image in there, save it and go to imageshack.us or something similar (just search image uploader on Google) to get the link to post here.

Renaud just booted three beauties while Legacy is struggling this morning, also according to Bob.

I have to admit I haven't paid much attention to him when I've been at camp but the thing I DO notice about him is he no longer stands out as *that* guy who is built like a twig compared to every other receiver.
He's never going to have a bulky lower body but you can really tell he's added a considerable amount of muscle in his upper body ... even his back looks wider.

I have one complaint.
How come I cannot abuse my power and issue warnings to other moderators?

Where do you see us starting our 8th guy? It will definately be easier to do so with a starting canadian LBer though..
I think it could come from a couple of spots.
The one spot I'm considering strongly is Kohlert or Etienne at the second WR spot, but I don't think that's as easy as it sounds because we'd still have to have an extra import REC on the roster simply because we don't have enough backup non-import receivers. We'll probably keep Taylor Renaud around, but it's not going to be on the 42 and having ONE backup for THREE starters obviously isn't ideal. It'd be easier if DiCroce was healthy or Aprile was here.
The other spot is right tackle, but that's a ways away from happening and I think Douglas or Simmons will probably lay claim to that spot by the end of camp.
Muambas, Poblah, Watson and three OL is still a pretty good group of Canucks. I guess if we do go with seven Canadian starters, we'll likely DI a RB, a DE and a DB. Realistically, there's no need for a DI linebacker because Stephan and Labbe are capable enough and if our nickel back gets hurt, you can just stick the 6th DB there because if they're going to DI, they're obviously going to be flexible.
That's why I see it being difficult for a guy like Markett to get on the 42 man roster ... he may be a very good player, but I don't envision him as one of those flexible DB types who can play any spot on the field like a Hefney or a Sears.

question; was the PR expanded to nine players this season? if so that should at least help a little.
It was but the extra spots are only for non-imports.

Original story found here: http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/06/03/blue-bombers-should-show-middle-linebacker-henoc-muamba-the-money
Middle linebacker Henoc Muamba is hopeful a contract extension between him and the Bombers will be worked out at some point in the next eight months.
Muamba is entering his option year, and as the first overall draft pick in 2011 and the heart of the defence it would be wise for the Blue and Gold to get his name on a new deal ASAP.
He already turned down a generous offer in the off-season, according to a CFL source, but he wants to return.
“It’s getting taken care of,” Muamba said. “Hopefully the sooner the better, obviously, but it’s just a matter of being patient. I can’t worry about that right now.
“My thing is to make myself the best player I can be, and then at the end of the day if I can do that I can help the team as well. So that’s my goal right now. I know the rest is going to take care of itself.”
Muamba said the fact the Bombers signed his older brother to play safety makes him want to stay in Winnipeg even more.
“Absolutely. I love playing with my brother,” Muamba said. “Him being here makes me even more comfortable if I wasn’t already, which I was. But it definitely helps.
“I love that Winnipeg did that. I don’t think it was just for me, because I believe that he’s a great player and is a great acquisition for the team. I’m happy that things worked out that way.”
Muamba said he feels “far ahead” and “so much more comfortable” in his role than this time last year. Head coach Tim Burke now wants him to take the next step.
“He just barely has scratched the surface of what he can be,” Burke said. “He started off like a rookie last year, but as the year went along he turned into a solid football player. Now I want that solid football player to start making plays outside of his responsibility, and that’s what a great linebacker does.”
Loving that Henoc wants to be here. No doubt in my mind that if he wants to be, he will be. Maybe it's not done yet but I'm super confident that we'll extend him.

Let me know if you guys suddenly don't have the PM I sent containing the forum password.

Yup I'm diggin this.

Too bad about Hyde, any word on how long? Miles might just end up on the pr again.
Couple days for Hyde

I've got the second league setup. Just need a password for the second forum.
I'll be a newbie on the fantaseh site as well .. should be interesting .. wondering how bye weeks work in an 8 team league.
Matchup is two weeks long
-
I randomized the people who have committed to play and came up with these for the two league rosters.
We only need 2 more participants to fill the second league.
League One:
Mike
Jpan85
bluto
SPuDS
Raydawg
Mr. Perfect
Logan007
MOBomberFan
League Two:
TrueBlue
voodoochylde
Noeller
Fraser
Nighthawk
Dr. Handsome

Jimmy set up the draft forums, so I'm going to PM the forum password to everyone in my league right away. I'll lay out the league format and if one of the two mods in the other league could create the league on Fantaseh with the matching set up, that'd be great. I can't use Fantaseh here at work, so I'll do this when I get home. Hopefully we get two more players today and we can start drafting tomorrow.

Disappointed that two guys I was looking to see big things from both got hurt.
Miles was on the PR last year though so maybe he gets an invite back. Two weeks isn't ALL of camp though, thankfully.

Just wondering my sister went to pick up our season tickets yesterday and reported there was over a inch of water on the ground in our row. Anyone else have this problem? Wonder if they are going to do anything to fix this. It will be only a concern if its raining on game day or a few day in front of the game.
I saw it when I was looking around. It looks like a serious issue, not sure how they're going to drain it.
Obviously it's only row 1 and I'm pretty sure it's only the east side. And only in certain sections. But it looks like a problem for sure.
you mentioned this to me last week didn't you?
in fact, i think i recall you saying that you had spotted a potentially disastrous design flaw in the IGF (or words to that effect).
it is a total disaster for people it affects. I went when it was pouring rain on Thursday and the water was about ankle deep. When I went again yesterday, there was STILL a lot of water there.

Did I see you at the stadium on Sunday? I walked by someone who I thought was you as they were walking across Bison Drive with their wife (girlfriend?) and a stroller.
I was with the wife and 2 year old daughter, no stroller though.
This is me (us) at the beginning of this video.
Could be off on the stroller, my memory is a bit foggy from my Saturday activities. I'll check the video.
EDIT: yeah that's you. I remember the sunglasses. Obviously mixed up the stroller with someone else.

Section 207, Row 14, Seat 7/8/9. I'll be sitting in one of those. The other two are for my wife and brother.
And seat 11 is for me.
So who has seat 10?
