Bombers Release Thorpe
Fogg is way better on punts and more reliable too. Lankford was an adventure. Aside from a couple kickoffs early in the season where he got a clean up the sideline he hasn't broken any big ones in months. To me it's a big waste of an import spot. Sure he's fast, he's the only receiver we've had in the last two seasons who hasn't been able to get into sync with Nichols. Where's Thomas Mayo? I'd argue we need a possession receiver like Thorpe or Mayo in this offence far more than a guy who runs fast in a straight line and can't do much else effectively at this level like Lankford or McDuffie. Could also be using that import spot on D.

Who has the better team: Calgary or Winnipeg?
Not sure about West playoffs...to me the bottom 3 is turning into a bit of a turtle race, could see any combo of them 3-4-5.

Game day thread: Ottawa QuarterBLACKS vs Bomber BYES
Wow. Never thought about it that way. All of a sudden every single 28 year old rookie CFL QB looks a lot better.

3 stars + HH red black and blues
Kinda goes against him either way. Guess INT is looked at more.

Bombers Release Thorpe
They get 18 cheques. One per game week. Practice roster starts week 1 and ends once team is out of playoffs. 18x750 would be salary plus some allowances, so around $15,000 if someone spent the whole year on the PR.

Poop would take Ekakatie off.

Less than $15,000 per year.

Westerman Out For Season
They had availability the next day. Wiecek is basically saying "wah wah I can't do my job" admitting he has no sources. Somehow Lawless didn't have this trouble with the Jets or Bombers/CFL who have had their own in house media for nearly a decade. Wiecek needs to do his job better. Lazy.

Westerman Out For Season
The traditional media has no less access. Tait is in the same scrums as them. The issue here is lack of skill and laziness by traditional media.

Bombers Release Thorpe
Hoping it's a hang around town re-sign next week kind of move. But he would be a nice add for a team like BC or Calgary who are somewhat lacking in possession YAC guys.

Westerman Out For Season
Sit Lankford, dress Nevis or Green. Replace Westerman with a NI receiver.

Westerman Out For Season
Or toss some picks at Hamilton for Cappicotti. Personally I'd bring another NI receiver onto the roster. Between Coates, Wolitarsky or Blaszko, Normand they can hold down a spot. Gets messy if Harris goes down.

Bomber Bye Week: The Kavis Reed Short Rope Edition
Good luck with that. The Als are one of the most worthless pro sports franchises in North America.

Popp's problem is that he can't find and develop QBs.

Quarterback Plague
Changes to challenges. Toadaso

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
I don't think I've ever seen that on an INT through just pure indecisiveness. I've seen someone double back to try to get around he corner and give up a safety but that was next level stupidity by Campbell. Even their good plays are bad.

Did you see Durant?

Ridirts @ Tabbies: Cellar Bowl
Maybe an option for the opposing team to have an untimed down if they accept the penalty and no yardage is possible (on the 1 already).
-
Ridirts @ Tabbies: Cellar Bowl
Bizarre. Why pass from the one? Also bullshit timeout call when no timeout by Riders. Need a real penalty for that situation.
-
Ridirts @ Tabbies: Cellar Bowl
The only difference between those penalties is IC is before throw and PI after.
-
Ridirts @ Tabbies: Cellar Bowl
Brutal call. Textbook illegal contact.
-
Ridirts @ Tabbies: Cellar Bowl
Hamilton has to challenge that one...not sure they have one haven't really been watching but that was illegal contact for sure, Hecht took him out.

CFL No Contact Practices Good Or Bad For League?
Disagree wholeheartedly. The vast majority of injuries are ligament, joint, bone and tendon injuries that have more to do with playing on crap surfaces and overexertion (guys literally too big for their own bodies, out of proportion) and nothing to do with contact. You don't lose that feeling of contact by not practicing it when prepping for games. Same for hockey and nobody has practiced full contact in hockey for years and years.

CFL No Contact Practices Good Or Bad For League?
Maybe. There's a subtle difference and the rules in rugby are way more strict. I was shocked. I took up rugby about 5 years after I finished up with football and there's a degree of "if you can tackle, you can tackle" as my buddy who recruited me said but he instincts are different. You actually need to tackle and with great form, you can't pop a guy and you can't drag him down by his ankles either. Say this for sure, the amount of contact in any rugby practice I've been in pales in comparison to the amount in any football practice I was in, different era albeit. Rugby is absolutely the more physical game in totality. There's a crew of high school football coaches who think they are Vince Lombardi and still torture kids in practice but aside from a little live tackling and scrimmage there should be no full contact.
