If this was in Winnipeg, can you imagine what fans across the league (esp in that Troll Hole just to the west of us) would be saying about the Bombers: Read more: http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/football/lions/lions+jennings+wants+more+play/11761258/story.html#ixzz41wl8NYvC

This is worth listening to: http://www.sportsnet.ca/960/the-big-show/dunk-all-eyes-on-muamba/ Bomber talk starts at 4:40. These guys sure are high on Medlock.

I think Ottawa won FA last year and look what happened to them.

Penton must be reading your posts:

And the best home-grown back since Gerry James.

It's getting closer: http://www.bluebombers.com/cflfa-2016/

Buck will be talking about it in about 15 mins.

Marte Sears is Johny Sears' kid brother.

I expect Jones to be very active because getting rid of those 19+ players leaves him a lot of cap space to work with.

Good point. If Cortez is as good as some here are suggesting, then how come BC and Sask let him go?

IMO, we should not be thinking about bringing Cortez here. We need a creative younger mind, not a grumpy over the hill old man.

A middle linebacker from Guelph, eh. Where have we heard that before? https://gryphonfootball.wordpress.com/2015/11/12/john-rush-named-winner-of-ouas-presidents-trophy/ Might be a sleeper.

Well during the Kelly year he made it clear that Murphy had the database and had the list of guys to go after. Hence the napkin joke about Taman. After reading this article (from 2012 btw) I have no doubt that it was Murphy who found the talent in 2009. The database probably resides in his head; he seems to have some kind of photographic memory: http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Meet+John+Murphy+with+backup+plan/7521855/story.html The comment at the bottom of that article is depressing.

Joe joins a long list of Winnipeg reporters in the media section of the CF HOF. From Knuckles and Ed Tait, going back to Tony Allen (who was sports editor of the Tribune when Vince Leah was a copyboy). A greatly deserved honour.

They missed out Riders Chris Getzlaf : http://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/montreal-alouettes/alouettes-green-becomes-highest-paid-receiver-in-cfl With Durant reportedly earning about $500,000 it's no wonder the Riders have cap issues.

With owners with big wallets who are willing to open them up it should be much better for the team. Add a good schedule and nice stadium that is much better for football than Rogers Centre and it should help get fans out. Rogers, ptuie. That company is run by a family who are just a bunch of CFL-hating wannabe Americans. If Government regulations didn't require them to be headquartered in Canada they'd move to New York faster than you can say "eh?". As a bloke on Esksfans.com pointed out, the silhouette of Rogers Centre is oddly (even though it's sponsored by Shaw, it's still odd) missing from the 2016 Grey Cup Logo.

John Hodge made some interesting points in his post game blog: http://3downnation.com/2015/09/26/bomber-thoughts-week-fourteen-calgary-at-winnipeg/ What particularly caught my attention was:

If we want someone with US contacts, I'd rather see us bring back Ken Moll. No to Taman.

@ Pigseye and Logan RE: Shawn Lemon Optimism rules today: Arash Madani ?@ArashMadani 8h8 hours ago Shawn Lemon, a #CFL free agent, likely signs (between BC, Ottawa, WPG) in the next 24-48 hours. WPG putting on full-court press to land him. gary lawless ?@garylawless 4h4 hours ago told to expect a decision on DL Shawn Lemon's landing spot in #cfl within the next three hours. offers from BC, Ott, Wpg. situation "fluid."

One of the first things that Walters did upon becoming GM was to give himself a pay cut and put the money saved into the scouting operations. That impressed the hell out of me.

you know what that poll proves... only Bomber and Rider fans are voting... I'm not sure what's more laughable... Elimimian and Bighill combining for only 7% of the vote or Brackenridge getting 37% of votes.... It was the same for the 'best hands' poll. Dressler won over Denmark with S.J. Green getting less than 10% of the vote.
