Mark H. reacted to Mike in Free Agency Day - Non-Bombers CFL News
Emilus, Lenius, KSB, Bane doesn’t really seem like that bad of a set of receivers. Three guys with 1000 yard potential for sure, I mean it’s obvious they don’t have a Schoen or Lawler but they’re not trotting trash out there.

Different topic, anyone else think the Stamps organization is in serious trouble?
Dilapidated stadium and facility, super low and consistently dropping attendance. Lousy QB with a big contract, no marketable star players. Ownership doesn’t seem to care in the slightest. Huff getting older. Dickinson getting dumber by the year it seems.
I actually think they’re on the thinnest ice of any team right now.
Frankly, that stadium is pathetic.

One on McLeod, one on Concordia.
From my experience the best sandwiches come out of McLeod but now having moved out of the area I choose between the two in Selkirk and the one by Walmart is the better of the two. Especially when the overly happy older woman is working, she is a true sandwich artist.
One on Munroe by Giant Tiger too.

In fairness I do remember someone on Ourbombers yelling Go Blue during a moment of silence at a Bomber game and trying to defend his actions on the site afterwards when people said "Not cool". I forget the username but it was a younger guy.

Mark H. reacted to Booch in Free Agency Day - Bombers Moves
to be honest our starting depth is just fine with any combo of Bryant, Eli, Dobson, Neuf and Kolo....a rookie right tackle in that group isnt gonna kill us...and quite possibly if this Vanterpool kid pans out he can be more versatile than Yosh in how we use our Tackle....won't be as experienced, but doesnt need to be coming into a vet laden room and playing next to a solid vet in Neuf

McGlouster started 9 regular season games and all 3 playoff games for the Als last year. Just saying.

Well, I don't think anyone said the playoffs were 'unpaid' - because playoff money is a thing.

Not 0 concerns for me. They've been starting the same tackles for quite a few seasons. It's been a while since the scouting department has unearthed an OT who became a starter for the Bombers.

Mark H. reacted to SpeedFlex27 in Passing of Ken Ploen and Gerry James
Gerry James was a true super athlete. The media made a big thing about Bo Jackson & Deion Sanders playing MLB & football the same season. Think of pro football then followed by pro hockey with the Leafs in the same season. Perhaps even the same day. I believe I read a story somewhere that the Bombers won the 1961 GC in OT at CNE Stadium in Toronto. That night, James was in a Maple Leafs uniform playing defense at Maple Leaf Gardens. Back when the NHL only had 6 teams. Leafs Coach Punch Imlach liked him so much that he kept a spot open for him.
I read Gerry James book. In it, he described his dislike for Bud Grant. How he felt he disrespected Canadians on the Bombers by his treatment of them. How Americans made more money than the Canadians & how cheap Grant was. James left the Bombers in a contract dispute & finished his career with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. For decades, the relationship between the Bombers & James was scarred. I think things were better after Wade Miller took over as President & really wanting him back as a Bomber alumni but I don't think things were ever totally repaired.

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.

Interesting debate here. Considering the toll that football takes on the body, I would lean more towards guys playing for the $$ and the travel opportunities.
Yeah, you an make practice roster money pretty much anywhere, but entry level contracts are $75 000 ($55 000 USD) for a 6 month season - that's not money you make just anywhere

Rest easy, Mr. Ploen. Thankfully your suffering is over.
