Medlock's holder is Dressler who also isn't playing. Dressler and Medlock work on holding techniques at every practice. I'm sure they will be ok.

For a few years there was a limit to the amount of roster moves teams could make (believe it was 12) after training camp started. Looks like they did away with that rule.

Ah, the free shots of beer girls, good times. They rival the free shots of Bomber wine girls.

How about some recognition of the fans in the upper deck. I don't think I seen any mini footballs thrown up there since the 1st season at IGF. (Although I haven't seen many TDs either come to think of it) Also bring back the rally towels. It was cool that we had the towels for the inaugural game but its a shame the organization didn't promote their usage after that.

Most retailers are sold out of the Reebok jerseys including the Bomber store. When I was at the Bomber store last week all they had were the regular home and away jerseys in small and XXL and larger. I bought some jerseys on Reebok.ca and it looks like they are now all sold out there as well.

Ok, gotcha. I didn't think people would be able to bring in food from that truck since its outside the tailgate area. At least that's a little progress. The organization has actually come a long way since the 1st season at IGF when they didn't allow any food vendors outside the stadium.

This is the first time I'm hearing about this. Where is this sign posted? Ever since they created the tailgate area I've had no issues with bringing beer into the stadium. I bring in beers before the game and at half-time, saves me some money. Tall boys are 8 bucks in the tailgate area and 10 bucks inside the stadium.

Ok, did anyone else try to pick up the pay per view channel for free in the early 80s. I remember you had to hook up a bunch to tinfoil to the back of your tv and you could sorta unscramble the PPV (between channels 6 and 7 I believe.) I just recall they must of shown Stars Wars 3 times a day but the channel also provided my 1st taste of porn. lol

Better Call Saul season 2 starts tonight. Giddy up.

I'm curious to know how many times Charley Huddy has been interviewed in the last 5 years? I never hear the local media talking about access to the Jets assistant coaches so I'm not sure if they have it or not.

Johnson will be starting in place of Peach. Collins will dress unless they use the DI spot elsewhere and they play Richardson or Brown instead.

I received an email from Bombers only 3 days ago regarding this initiative: The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are asking fans to “Go Gold” on September 25th by wearing gold jerseys in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Gold is the symbol of the fight to end childhood (pediatric) cancers, which are diagnosed in 1500 kids each year. This game will mark the third season the Bombers have supported Childhood Cancer Awareness month by partnering with Ribbons for Rylan, a non-profit organization that fundraises for CancerCare Manitoba Pediatrics, The Children’s Hospital Foundation and The Dream Factory. This is the first year the team will ask fans to wear gold, while showing their own support through an addition to the Bombers uniform kit. “For the first time, our team will wear a gold ribbon decal on their helmets to bring awareness to this worthwhile cause. We are thrilled to be able to support Childhood Cancer Awareness month in this way, and are confident fans will ‘Go Gold’ with us on September 25th,” said Hannah Rose Pratt, Winnipeg Blue Bombers Manager of Community Relations. In addition to wearing gold jerseys, fans can support the campaign by purchasing a gold hat in the Bomber Store, as the Bombers will donate $5.00 from each gold hat purchased to Ribbons for Rylan. Ribbons for Rylan is a group of family and friends raising funds and awareness to help fight childhood cancers; Rylan was a special boy who was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer when he was one year old, and passed away just before his second birthday. To further support the campaign to cure childhood cancers, the Bombers have donated 200 tickets to the September 25th home game to host families battling childhood cancers and life-threatening illnesses. The team visited the CK5 Pediatric Cancer ward at the Children’s Hospital on September 21st as a part of the Bombers’ regular monthly visits to meet families and sign autographs for children and youth who are hospitalized. ​ On Friday, The Dream Factory and Ribbons for Rylan will have Childhood Cancer Awareness tables in the Tailgate at the Plaza by Duraco Windows before the game (outside of Gate 2 at the corner of Chancellor Matheson Road and University Crescent), along with volunteers collecting donations throughout the stadium. ​ http://bluebombers.com/article/bomber-fans-go-gold-this-friday ​ ​ ​ ​

The initiative behind encouraging fans to wear gold is to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. I'll be wearing my gold Doug Brown jersey which has been in my closet for 4 or 5 years.

I think Marve was just a little banged up so they went with Brohm. I was at Monday's practice and I didn't see Marve take any reps in the team drills. Not sure how involved Marve was on Tuesday and Wednesday as I didn't see any reports from the media.
