Role of a CFL GM
It has to be a blowout - they need to beat Montreal up and down the field They were right there with the Stamps for three quarters, until critical errors happened and things unraveled. They literally gave away two games against the Riders, which has already been discussed, ad nauseum Step 1: put their record, the playoff scenario(s), the fans and everything else aside Step 2: make life miserable for Pipkin, who looks ripe for the plucking after yesterday Step 3: just get on the field and beat someone up

Stampeders @ Tiger Cats
I'm tired of watching...the speed that everyone else has at receiver.

BC (4-6) @ Montreal (3-8)
Some pathetic football games in terms of entertainment this season. I don't mind watching a defensive gem, but not when it's because of sheer incompetence

Agreed - I was referring to the entire league.

The game you play - is an old game - but you play it rather well.

The Role of a CFL Head Coach
A genius response such as this one - requires the Gump army clip.

Which is a change they seem to have made due to lack of success.

Portage & Main
They've been quite accurate for the last several Canadian elections.

Role of a CFL GM
Two things that are on Lapo: 1. They run a lot of short patterns, resulting in multiple receivers in the same zone 2. Receivers are often stationary when the ball arrives - it’s really odd how often that happens

Bombers Management: Proactive, Reactive, Passive or Delusional - Streveler
When he was a physical presence in the middle, it was easier to live with his poor angles and shoddy tackling.

Crossover Standings after Week 13
Even with equal or better stats, they would still be better, due to the constant threat of explosion plays.

Game Day Thread - Banjo Bowl
But he wasn’t a DC for most of those years, so he would have been available as a DC.

Matt Nichols -BOO!!!!!!!
Banjo Bowl was a defensive gem. The D only gave up 9 points.

Matt Nichols -BOO!!!!!!!
I didn’t have a problem with the way the D played against Calgary. They are trending up, anyone can see that.

I don’t where all this OL bashing is coming from. You can’t find a better OL, depth included, than the Bombers came out training camp with.

Matt Nichols -BOO!!!!!!!
32 - 23 = 9 points given up by the D yesterday.

I go there because they can be relied upon to have blue licorice ice cream

I agree with most of what you're saying, especially about after school hours. But yes, there had been some issues with kids being hit by cars. I guess if you don't know, then you don't know. I shared one in a post further up. Enforcement by police and better education both cost extra money - which is exactly why neither of them will happen Budgets and the almighty buck always come before better ways of doing things. I was happy to see this change, because I knew it was the only change we were going to see. And yes, I have been ticketed in one of those 30 km/h zones. I was going to another school for Professional Development, there were no kids in class all across the province on that day. It sucked, but that's life, and it only happened once.

You make this sound like it's a black and white issue - it's not. I agree that it is a cash grab, but it also forces people to slow down. You'll never find an issue that isn't about the money - because there aren't any.

Hmmm interesting.
