I doubt there will be many since it isn't exactly cheap to cast a bronze statue from what I understand. I think the thing that has surprised me most is Gordon Sinclair hasn't tried to take credit for this yet but then he hasn't had a new column published since the announcement.

The Calder Cup finals are going to be broadcast in Manitoba for those who want to watch. For MTS customers: I don't know what channels they will be on for Shaw and Bell but they will be broadcasting them.

I could be wrong but I thought he meant the first of many statues honouring Bomber players, not just Bud Grant. Of course, I could be misunderstanding your comment.

After he signed with the Ticats he did say he didn't sign with Montreal because he felt he didn't fit with the style of defence they run.

What was the nature of the challenge, that rookies were not included? He didn't say but that is seems about right to me.

Dave Naylor said the League challenged the vote and the challenge was only upheld in Ontario.

They can't postpone it. Bombers play the Stamps in Week B and the Argo play in Week C.

That's not fair for first year players with the Bombers, Riders and Lions.

Starting 3 imports on the o-line seems to be complete speculation by Penton. As for Pencer, maybe he just has the flu.

I thought the last proposal from the PA dropped revenue sharing.

It's $5 per person and it covers going to and from IGF. They will be selling bus cards at TicketMaster for the entire season for $40. The Bombers website has been updated since Rich's post to add that the Running Back shuttles will still be available.

Irving did not say anything negative about Lawless. His rant was aimed directly at the BoD.

All of the local sports media ranted about the BoD leak - even Lawless joined a few days after he broke the story.

Considering the number of complaints that have been made against the company doing the pick-up and it's the North Winnipeg Nomads who are having the problem, I would say it's no game.

From what I understand it's pretty much guaranteed to be played. Apparently the earliest players in Alberta could go on strike is on Tuesday and it seems unlikely the players in other cities would go out sooner than that.

Did anyone get lost 2-3 sentences into this? It was like trying to read a tolkien novel for the first time.. I got lost before that.

Dickenson is also assistant head coach so it's not surprising he would be dealing with the media at times.

Funny that the only negative stories about Miller and O'Shea were both written by Friesen. The Bombers under Miller, Walters and O'Shea have bent over backwards for the media but that hasn't had any effect on how Friesen writes about the team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Milanovich has the same rules as Trestman had regarding the media.

Remember when Mike Kelly wanted to create a schedule where the HC would do a media scrum* a few days a week and the OC, DC, STC would each do a media scrum on different days of the week and the media went into whine mode because they didn't want to talk to coordinators, they want the HC. *Almost typed scum there by mistake.

I know Montreal didn't under Trestman.

You missed a word - Goossen has looked what?

According to Ken Wiebe, Jets didn't sign Lukas Sutter before the deadline so he'll be going back in the draft.

On the suite level on the west side, the seating chart has a hospitality area called Hall of Fame. What is that?
