yup, same here.
On top of that, I hate to say it but maybe they're UNDER moderating over there. 8 of the last 9 threads with replies in them were all created by that Access_Blue guy, who is very clearly a troll.
I don't mind the name "Redblacks", this new idea that they want to be the REDBLACKS is ridiculous though.
Are they the Ottawa REDBLACKS? or the OTTAWA REDBLACKS?
That's funny. I posted there this morning to address something and I referred to our site as "that other forum" without the censor. I wonder if Colin thinks I tried to type in the name.
I've been told by a few people that there are rumblings over there that we planted that Access_Blue guy to stir **** up. I can't see why we'd want (or need) to do that.
If anyone is curious about who led our team (and the league) in pass knockdowns ... it was Johnny Sears.
Sears -- 10
Korey Banks -- 10
Eddie Russ -- 9
Byron Parker -- 8
Patrick Watkins -- 8
Dee Webb -- 7
Joe Burnett -- 7
Keon Raymond -- 7
Ryan Phillips -- 7
Next on the Bombers was Hefney with 5. (which was still top 15 in the league, only 4 players had 6)
Suber had one pass knockdown last year. But he also only gave up 4 catches beyond 20+ yards, which was best on the team. Also worth mentioning, receivers didn't break one tackle on him last year. ALSO worth mentioning, he actually lead the team in tackles for a loss last year with 6.
LOL
I mentioned it to Rich, but I swear that somebody brought it up to me in a PM when we were first considering the idea of this site.
Let's just go with "it was a group effort"
Not going to get into a media bashfest but I have to more or less agree. I still like Penton too, but I don't really agree with his opinion. Doesn't mean he's not a good reporter though.
Take Bender, Wiecek (who, I have to admit, is getting better slowly), Friesen and Lawless and I honestly think you could replace them with knowledgable fans and the quality of the information being shared would go up.
Was talking to a coworker this morning who went to camp yesterday ...
He said Etienne made an absolutely unbelievable catch in tight coverage ... got up and pulled the Geroy pose. Apparently the entire team went nuts for it.
I have yet to use that one here until now.
Actually, if we have to be honest and I can't throw anyone under the bus, I forget who suggested the morningbigblue name. Does anyone remember? Part of me wants to say it was you.
I just wish certain things were off limits when it comes to generating revenue.
This is more or less the closest thing we have to a physical hall of fame or "wall of honor" or whatever you want to call it. It should be exempt, imo
I get the whole "we need to pay our debt back" thing but couldn't these be exempt from the game plan of plastering ads all over everything? The ads are bigger than the pictures of the players for god sakes.
Meh, injuries are ALWAYS going to happen in camp.
Doesn't seem like a big deal, nothing serious (other than Dicroce) yet.
Edmonton, on the other hand, already lost their starting RT (and nominee for MOL in 2012) for the year.
