Maybe you guys should pool your money to bring me out for a game. Last game at McMahon that I was at the score was 52-2 for the Bombers.

I'm pretty sure most assistants are on one year contracts so it wouldn't have been a matter of firing anyone - just not renewing contracts. Plus Burke was singing Crowton's praise and saying he would keep him on before the interim label was removed. Burke would be given a budget for assistants. Thing is when they hired Craig Dickenson it was likely for quite a bit more than what was budgeted for that position - I wouldn't be surprised if he makes 1-1/2 times what Walters made as ST coordinator - so money had to be found to top up the budget to get the RB coach.

CBC reported the alleged victim was in a different courtroom at the same time Anderson and Smith entered their pleas. He was there as part of an ongoing case against him for possession of cocaine with intent to traffick. He was one of 8 people busted by police.

I have no doubt the cap will go up but I doubt it will go up so much that the TV money hardly makes a dent.

which is exactly why it's bullshit to move them now. Let's at least wait and see if any of the eastern teams get off life support before moving the Bombers yet again. With the new TV contract starting next year, none of the teams in the East should be on life support.

It's a good thing WestJet is adding direct flights between Winnipeg and Regina in the new year otherwise it wouldn't be easier or cheaper to be in the West.

Wasn't one of the reasons Harris went to BC was to get away from bad influences or something of that nature?

Just read that and it's really interesting about Walters and the high school football but it sure would be nice if reporters could get their facts straight. Harris is a Lion because he was a territorial exemption. It's not like the Bombers could have forced him to play for the Rifles.

I voted for full schedule but I'd be fine with Saturdays only as well. I'm not too keen about Jets only since I tend to chose with my heart over my head and would pick the Jets for every game.

Jeffrey posted this at TEP:

Just out of curiosity, when the NHL regular season starts are you going to add a Pick'ems pool for that too or would that be way too much work?

That diabolical laughter you hear is Colin celebrating that his plan worked. j/k of course Iso.

And it didn't help Hervey's position when the Esks gave up 7 sacks against Calgary without Rottier in the line-up.

No, not potential free agents, actual free agents.The December date is basically the date that Ottawa is open for business and can start signing players but they don't have access to other team's potential free agents until February like every other team.

December is when Ottawa can start signing free agents.

And the things being said about TSN overhyping Sheets are the same things that fans from other teams complained about when TSN was all Swaggerville, Swaggerville, Swaggerville.

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout Goltz, Hall, Boltus, Brown, Pierce, Elliott This-QB, that-QB, QB QB QB All we are saying is give Goltz a chance All we are saying is give Goltz a chance

IIRC he traded picks in every draft to get more picks, didn't he? There was also the trade with Edmonton where we got two late round draft picks for Taylor Inglis (one of the picks turned out to be Carl Volny). There was the Odell Willis trade with Saskatchewan.

Considering all Elliott tweeted was "Wow!" with no other reference, for all anyone knows he was talking about something else.

I think Sheets saying they had a special TD celebration planned because of what Goltz had done the week before helped fire up the defence too.

I' going with Goltz on a short yardage play for now but I may change my mind. How about a rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock competition between the posters who are tied.

Wouldn't that depend on how negotiations go on a new CBA. Last one wasn't ratified until July and there was a 30 day period after ratification where the old rules applied.

Think so. Congratulations.

And some of those Rider fans will also say their offense and play calling sucked while begrudgingly giving the Bombers D some credit.

He's listed as being on the 9 game IR until October 4.
