I get that NFL player talent is far superior to CFL plus their marketing puts ours to shame but I just continue to have no interest in watching NFL games.
I begin to watch games with my son who's a hardcore Eagles fan and within minutes I'm bored out of my mind.
It's probably because I have no affiliation with any team but I don't know if that's just it.
It would obviously change if Winnipeg was in the league but even TO/BC getting a NFL team I probably still wouldn't watch.
  

Why does your name sound like...you own murderers?

Yeah, pro sports are cut throat. They aren't the 1st and won't be the last.
FUN FACT.
On this day in 2015 the 1st piece of the puzzle was officially signed. #66 the GOAT of Goats became a Winnipeg Blue Bomber.

Exactly this. It's all well and good to be fans of the game, make posts and state opinions on a football forum. But most of us have never been out there putting our bodies on the line. In many games, he was our best defender. Heck, even fans of other teams said it.
Congrats on a great career, JJ.

Stuff like this is why the CFL is the only pro league that I still watch.

Anyone who's got the pride and drive to succeed at this level is gonna have serious feelings when the day comes to shut er down.  His onfield contributions are what matters to me, not his exit interview.
Thanks for being a great Bomber, Mr. Jeffcoat.

Could have had another receiver rostered all year if a certain fullback wasn’t around. Name and rank escape me.  

yup....thats what it is all about...opinions...and worthy discussion over the winter....and the old shoulda woulda couda syndrome...
I as well am more than happy how things have gone last 5.6 yrs, and see it easily maintained....I am also a perfectionist to a degree...so adequate...good enough...looking back at success just doesn't cut it for me ....I look at your last performances, and over last 2...I see imperfection and failing to achieve the goal...I want more! lol

In the end it's all just our opinion one way or another and how much benefit of the doubt one feels comfortable with. I just have thoroughly enjoyed watching Bomber ball the past 5-6 years, so I am willing to cut some slack.
Booch knows his shyte, I'm not going to pretend otherwise. He knows that I do to but am just coming from a different angle. Therefore, mutual respect just takes over. Nothing he has said I feel is inherently wrong, it's just not my interpretation. Doesn't make my interpretation correct, or his, just a difference in opinion. At the end of the day all I need to know about Booch, and most of the guys on this forum is that we all live and breathe Bomber football, and hate the Riders. Any disagreement other than that is just how a forum generates conversation and how people learn more about the game. I've learned more about football from people who have a different outlook from me than I ever did from people who are aligned with my thinking. I think that stands to reason. When you are talking in an echo chamber you only learn what you already knew.

Just saying @Booch and @GCn20 Rehash or not, agreeing or not, hell of a job having a considerate conversation. That’s how it’s done. 
 
A football debate between 2 guys that played and coached the game at a higher level than me? I’m here for it. 

They need to seriously think about how many 30+ guys are hanging on here.
But if it came down to it, I'd take Jeffcoat every day of the week over Alexander...even if he only played half the season.

it seems to me that would be easier to do when signing with a contender...you pretty much know you're getting play off money...up to $23 000

Also, winning is way more fun than losing. Just ask all the Rider players.

Pretty good day at Clandeboye School today, both Willie Jefferson and Patrick Neufeld made the trip out and read to the kids for I Love to Read month. Junior was able to wear the Oliviera jersey he got for Christmas and got autographs on his W chain. 

Knowing I'm far away from being a perfect poster and really trying not to be too much of a hypocrite here but by constantly and predictably coming in hot with questions/comments like this across many different discussions, what are you seeking to accomplish? 
Forget it, don't answer that, don't want to derail the fun we are having here. Maybe we can start a new thread on this instead so we can generate a more fulsome discussion to get at varying viewpoints on this.
Or not.
Go Bombers.
 

My mom says you're wrong.

Your feelings don't matter.
