I agree that early byes are dumb, but how do you schedule games for nine teams in a single week without making one team play twice? I think one team has to have a bye every week so long as we have an odd number of teams in the league.

if I were the commish I'd hire Mike O'Shea to run football ops and devote myself fully to rejuvenating the game in Toronto (without screwing over the rest of the league, of course) or getting the Argos into a market that will support them. I don't know if that's a problem that can be solved. Certainly I have no fast ideas how to do it. But I really worry the CFL is on the brink of oblivion and TO will be the first domino to fall.

in general I will root for anyone the Bombers put out there. one of the rare exceptions, the one guy I wanted cut immediately after I watched him play, was Dominic Picard, the center who couldn't shotgun snap. How much better could Willy have played if he didn't have to spend that half a second locating Picard's slow-motion snaps and then dodging Picard as the enemy DTs rollerskated him into the pocket... I think Willy was the real deal until the Bombers' terrible OL got him killed. When he started he was good enough to make Aaron Kelly into a legit deep threat. When he was done he was hesitating and nervous, he looked slow. A real shame that he didn't get the team he needed to play to his potential.

O'Shea wore 59 during his first stint in Hamilton.

Big SJ Green fan here. Way back in the deep time, I wore 59 on my jerseys because of Mike O'Shea. You can imagine how jazzed i was when he became a bomber.

Blue 1-0 this week-- inspiring do or die to go 5-7-5!

I goofed up the name. It's actually "the Dark Side." We regret the error.

ugh. two boring games and two laughers. even tho the good guys won, not a great weekend for the league. I pity TSN's panel for having to make chicken salad out of this week's schedule..

what is the rationale for the roster rule change allowing only two QBs on the game roster? whoever had that brain wave, they're the villains here too. happens a few times every season that a team has to go three deep on QBs.

Indecisive QB + leaky OL = fajardo tantrum got a lot of respect for Bo, he owned us for a lot of years, but no way on Earth is he in the Flutie tier, or the Garcia tier. Maybe Dickenson.

okay, this week has been great to be a bomber fan but terrible for a cfl fan with three utterly non-competitive games so far. cmon stamps and riders, entertain us. having said that, I predict Duke Williams is going to play like poop for the greenies. had a terrible training camp in the NFL and has a QB who has trouble with the deep shots ... overhyped signing.

Week 12 Lions @ Blue So-so kicking game? Blue's elegant solution: Score many touchdowns.

He's got a whole puppy rescuing lifestyle going on. His videos of the rescues are super heartwarming. Seems like a real swell kid.

two penalties for ten yards. FIFO baby.

yup. We crushed the pocket rushing just three on that play.

nice toss by Rourke while completely under siege.

Mcguire time. Don't need Zach to get decapitated by a frustrated Lion...

love seeing a guy get interfered with, catch the ball anyway, and tack on an extra 10 yards for good measure. Adams catching em in traffic.

every game it's the same thing. Other team hangs around until we grind em like a burned down smoke in the 4th.

what the hell is with BC's play calling ... their RB is averaging 8 yards a carry and it's still pass, pass, pass. Bombers pass rush can just tee off on Reilly...

sound just died here too. man TSN has been struggling technically this year. Bell budget cuts?

Legs playing pool out there with that backspin. that one the other week that bounced just inside the endzone and rolled out to the 0.1 yard line was pretty good...

yeah that was the one knock on Clements was that he had an arm that was a little soft, especially after Brock ... but the guy was a buttered eel in the pocket, and with Walby, Bonk, Moors, Bastaja, et all protecting him he was rarely sacked and could turn nothing into something on the regular.

argh my stream just crapped out, how is it for people watching real TSN?
