17to85

I'm not saying it's not effective, I'm just calling it like it is. Throw in the shenanigans with Jones going to Toronto in the first place and yeah I'm going to stand by calling him a piece of trash.

You know what, good on winnipeggers for biking and using transit! Too often in this country every one just says "**** it I'll drive myself" They'll get a lot of these issues resolved in time I have no doubt about that.

It's no secret that teams know that Pierce gets hurt a lot and if you knock him out you up your chances of winning. Yeah every qb is marked to an extent, but teams are willing to go farther with known injury cases. Especially teams with a DC like Jones.

Jones has always been a ***** so it's not surprising they'd just try and hammer Pierce, if you take him out in the preseason there's one less team to worry about. Also why the bombers SHOULD have moved on from him in the offseason. Can't rely on a guy that is marked.

yeah well no one over here is as insecure as they are over at that place so I can't see why anyone would care to do that to start with.

yeah that's really all it is. Casual fans don't care enough to go midweek to see a bunch of future cuts play. Plus I think living two provinces away skews our perception of things too. getting to see the team for us is rare and every chance is deemed special.

preseason against the argos... can't really expect big interest in a team that no one cares about. I think given how last season went as well it'll take some time to really build up the support for the bombers. No one knows who any of these qbs are except for bandaid boy buck. I just get a big sense of apathy in regards to the team right now.

There was a link to the depth chart in another thread here somewhere too.... but I don't recall which one it was off the top of my head.

agreed, need to wait until after the preseason games to really get a better feel for what other teams are going to look like. See if there's been any new faces unearthed at positions of need for a bunch of teams etc. Or you know, if for example Ricky Ray breaks his leg in a preseason game that changes the argos outlook just a tiny bit....

This attitude right here... I hate that attitude. There's enough accidents out their caused by completely sober people and enough terrible drivers to start with that driving under the influence of anything is completely and utterly stupid. There's no degrees of stupidity here, it's just all flat out stupid.

You know what, they might have something here if their uniforms have neither red or black in them. Then it'd be just about the most awesome name ever because people would always stop and ask WTF?

it's all interconnected, it was an agreement with the statement while adding to the general conversational trend.

pffft what better way to get people here?

I know right? Maybe I'm crazy but I love listening to football on the radio (obviously them movin' pictures are better but still...)

yeah those statements are no different than those people who insist that "I'm a better driver when i've had a couple of drinks because I pay more attention" The reason there's less laws regarding driving while high is like I said above, there's no good way of measuring the amount of stuff in your system roadside like there is with a breathalizer so anyone wanting to argue it in court will get it over turned because there won't be enough evidence to say whether they were impaired or not.

I saw one guy on ourbombers said he just googled 17to85... so yeah, I guess I'm kind of a big deal...

well one of the guys was sporting a Detroit Lions t-shirt so I don't think he's got a lot of grounds to be critical of anyones football choices....

I am not one who likes to see even stuff like that modded, but honestly, one of the best things about this place so far I think is that you all do a good job of not over modding. People are allowed to say what they will for the most part, just the excessive piling on seems to be kept under control and that's a fair way of dealing with things.

no because the only people who care are a few uptight message board posters with nothing better to do than ***** about things all the time.

I got laughed at last night after playing flag football for saying I was going to listen to a CFL preseason game on the radio... no one understands just how good Bob Irving is... We Bomber fans are damned lucky to have that man calling games for us.

The reason you don't see DUI charges for pot is because there isn't a good way to measure the levels of the stuff in your system roadside like you can with alcohol so you can't ever get a conviction.

get it loud enough you would notice vibrations in the ground, not a lot obviously but there would be something if your equipment was sensitive enough.

booooooooo

Hey our turn is coming sooner or later, think how sweet it will be when it's the bombers winning again.
