Edwards Announces Retirement
Nate was mentioned in another thread and I just saw this post-mordem post of his on Riderfans: T Edwards was an above average import receiver who managed to coax 9 years out of a hurt body and a turf toe foot. His speed was average (or less), his hands were above average - he even ventured into unthinkable territory to nab suicide passes from guys like Pierce, Brink, Elliott, Goltz, Hall, etc. He's an instant entrant into the Blue Bomber Hall of Fame where the main standard (at least in last 15 years) is what kind of a community guy you were. His statue will be right beside Wadzilla Miller and Big Bubba Brown, other "Hall of Fame" bombers. Part of the 'amazing core' Mike O'Shea expounded loudly in his acceptance press conference. Of course, most bomber fans with a brain knew instantly he was just trying to be nice. Other than Muamba, Drew Willy and a handful of above average men, the bomber roster has been putrid. I don't miss that guy.

Free Agency - 2014...
Nasty Nate told me $150,000. Then it must be true.

Chris Matthews off to the NFL
Percy Harvin better watch his back! Good luck CM - hope to see you with a Super Bowl ring this time next year. PS - if Matthews does make the Seahawks and does well, does this mean all year I have to listen to Joe Buck go on about how Matthews "toiled in obscurity up in Canada the past two years paying his dues" like I had to hear all year about Jerrell Freeman? It's just so condescending....

Esks release TJ Hill
can he play center?

Edwards Announces Retirement
So Charles Roberts isn't good enough for your list? I see how it is. Hee hee...and if we are going to expand it even more we might as well invite Brock Ralph and Kamau to the party as well... As for CR, as much as I loved watching that guy play, it would have been nice if he could have showed up for the 2007 Grey Cup...

Esks release TJ Hill
another veteran leader and character guy. May be worth a look.

Edwards Announces Retirement
maybe in 2015 when our Willy leads us to the promised land and we womp on the lowly Ti-Cats in the Grey Cup the CFL will allow us to add Terrence, Doug, Milt and Khari to the roster at the last minute so we have 52 guys on the actual roster. That way they can all get their names on the Cup.

Chris Matthews off to the NFL
it would be really cool to see Matthews grabbing passes from Tom Brady next year. The Patriots need an upgrade at receiver after losing Welker and with Gronk being constantly injured.

Free Agency - 2014...
If Hargreaves starts running from Regina now, he may make it to Ottawa by training camp.

LOL - Mr. Irrelevant is what you are calling yourself now? Fair enough. Captain 20-20 hindsight is too obvious. Anyway - kudos on yet another great call oh great seer and knowledgable one. Yuck, I just threw up in my mouth.

As usual Captain 20-20 hindsight calls another correct prediction.

What I miss from the Good Ole Days
- Edwards Announces Retirement
Have to admit I did. I just really didn't see a role with the team next year where his paycheque would be warranted. Ok then. Well it's good that the Bombers dealt with this then in February rather than having TE show up at camp and then have to go through the uncomfortable exercise of explaining to the fans and media and to TE that he was no longer in the plans. Good to see this done in a professional way.- Edwards Announces Retirement
thank you for your contributions Terrence. You are a class act and an all around great human being. We were lucky to have you for seven seasons, and your heart and ability made a lot of the suffering we had to endure as Bomber fans bearable. Good luck. Did anyone else see this coming? The timing just seems weird. He still has game left.- Danny Barrett as Bombers QB coach?
let's hire Dieter Brock as QB coach. If anything he also wore the #5. Seriously though, he does have QB coach experience with the Eskimos.- New Bomber/CFL Blog I'm Working On
Thank you for doing this. With untalented lazy hacks like Wiecek being the norm in our mainstream media the more knowledgeable people getting involved in publishing good CFL Intel the better.- Trader Taman
Yeah you guys did well on that deal, as long as you end up taking two decent picks. Maybe you should hire Mack as a draft consultant...- Trader Taman
Imagine Montreal offering us Bourke for our second overall? Who wouldn't do that trade.- Trader Taman
Well that's not very nice...oh wait you said trucker...my bad.- Trader Taman
You can still make fun of him, it just has to be handled internally.- Two Bomber signings
Because Pencer and Swiston rock? Shrug.- Two Bomber signings
I am waiting to see what his numbers look like at the combine. And I don't mean how much grain he harvests on his John Deere.- Trader Taman
can we sign Schmitt? That guy was amazing, haven't seen a leg like that since young Jonny Ryan. PS - this is what happens when you move a pure wholesome prairie boy to a place where marijuana is legal... He looks like a stand-in for a bad Vietnam war movie.- Matthias Goossen or Pierre Lavertu?
