Kind of hesitant to post this but I will anyway. I see that Nate/Lyle has promoted Mike to the rank of "professional lemming": http://forums.cfl.ca/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=103688 The Bomber sub-forum used to be OK until Lyle arrived. His constant negativity and repeated reposting of his One Big Idea ('the Bombers are crap') has resulted in just about everybody stopping posting there. Only Lyle and one other person regularly post there anymore (think OurBombers). Imo, this cfl.ca forum is the perfect place for Lyle. I don't recommend replying to his post; it will only encourage him by giving him the attention he seeks.

Their doctoral candidates should stick to writing their theses on basket weaving. Tweets can be so ambiguous: Sask. Roughriders ✔ @sskroughriders Rider Pride: Keeping it in the family since 1910.

Check out this cfl article about the league's most dangerous pass rushers: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/06/04/qbs-beware-new-contenders-ready-chase-sack-title/ Only two teams have both their def ends chosen: Montreal (Bowman and Knapton) and us.

And a good interview with Goosen: https://www.bluebombers.com/2017/06/03/goossen-this-is-the-best-room-ive-ever-been-in/ We're sure getting some quality media stuff out of the Bombers this year.

Damn right. Watching the post practice interview yesterday, I thought I saw O'Shea's eyes light up when he was asked about the Roc.

Why? " He is facing trial for two other felony charges for domestic violence and burglary in a Mississippi circuit court on [July 31, 2017]. "

Oh my!

Bit disappointed that I haven't heard anything in the media about Quinshad Davis. He's big (6'4", 220 lbs) and young (22 yrs old). I thought he did OK at rookie camp but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.

And another one: http://3downnation.com/2017/05/27/eve-training-camp-riders-safety-marc-olivier-brouillette-retires/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+JustinDunk3downnation+(3+Down+Nation-Justin+Dunk+) You can hear the watermelons exploding from here.

Doubt it. Training camps open across the league on Sunday and I'm pretty sure that the teams have their physicals on Saturday.

You mean this one? I can't find this reported anywhere else so I call BS on it. #ParanoidDelusionalRiderfans.

We sure do.

You gotta read this: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/05/18/oleary-spooners-road-pros-hard-rewarding/

IIRC, there were 3 (maybe 4) other teams bidding on Waggoner and this is why we went so high to get him. Disappointing that it didn't work out but it wasn't an off the board move by Walters.

We could have had Singleton with that pick.

Well, Goalie, Duane Forde agrees with you (and so do I): http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/which-team-improved-the-most-on-draft-night~1117582

Meh, that's an old story and I don't give too much credence to it. Geoff and his sister may have been little kids at the time they were Rider fans. Yesterday Gray's Dad had this to say: http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/05/04/breaking-down-the-bombers-draft-options

More info:

I'd love to see us sign TJ Jones. Born in Winnipeg when his Dad, Andre, was a defensive end for the Bombers he starred at Notre Dame and has been been with the Detroit Lions for the past 3 years.

Not even close to the full cost. In 2011, " Bus fares account for just under 50 per cent of Transit’s revenues. A city subsidy and provincial subsidy together worth about $43 million last year cover the rest. " http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/Transit-wants-to-hike-bus-fares-in-January-133096148.html By 2015 those subsidies had increased dramatically: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analysis/Time-to-rethink-tired-transit-model-327463971.html Every single bus ride in the city is heavily subsidized. Don't know when it started, although I suspect it was when Steve Juba was mayor, but for years the city had a policy of providing a further subsidy to get people in and out of Winnipeg/Canad Inns Stadium. I think that was a good idea.

When was the last time you read stuff like this about the Bombers:

I read that when Jones took over in Regina and did a total hatchet job by cutting about half the team, he just released the news to the media. That's how the players found out about it.

Can't say I blame him:

Looks like a fun event:

I see what you did .
