RA Dickey signs with the Braves, who had one of the worst team ERAs this past season...

Derek Taylor brings up a good point that, while MOS would likely publicly say that he doesn't give 2 shits about individual recognition for COY, it *does* probably have a lot of importance to him come contract-talk time....

It has ALWAYS been just Top 3 coaches....and it gets announced during the offseason league meetings in, like, February or whatever. It seems like they're making COY part of the regular-season awards for the first time...

Completely ridiculous...

Ridiculous...Leggett for sure gets jobbed, and Loffler I would absolutely go to bat for, too...maybe even Bond. **** sakes...**** you CFL. Let's go get the big prize...

Apparently it's a league-wide Closed Practice on Friday....

Didn't it used to be 3 guys....not 1 West, 1 East?

Another interesting note, Penton says Kohlert is being replaced by Gudino this week after last week's poor performance.

I haven't seen one oopty-oop all year............"Ooopty-F***in'-Oop!!"

2 things of note: Penton says Denmark getting plenty of 1st team reps as well. Bauming says Macho Harris has really taken on a coaching role over last several weeks. Very vocal and very involved. . .

From Bauming on Twitter: "Good news — Bond, Chungh, Denmark, Bass, and Wild are all practicing today. The #Bombers may be the healthiest they've been all season."

Practice today. Chungh and Bond back at er. McDuffie in for Gurley. Gurley and Denmark both dressed but watching.

the last time there was this much hype around a back-up, from a lot of different teams, was Reilly, in BC. I'm pretty confident this kid is legit...

BC is going to be a TOUGH out and anyone thinking otherwise hasn't been paying attention. Just find a way to win, by one or a hundred, I don't care. . .

That was certainly my concern. . . What a thing to say. Cripes. . .

I don't think Lapo is any kind of world beater as OC, but I really fear the constant changing of schemes...we have swapped out so many OCs over the last decade.

"HEY SHITTY!!"

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers open as 5-point underdogs to the #BCLions for the West Semifinal — some books now 4.5. Winnipeg beat BC in both meetings this year.

I wouldn't mind a Ham vs Wpg GC. Lotta great history there. Plus, **** Ottawa...shitty new bandwagon fans....and shitty Burris.

He was....

This is a very tradeable contract...

Macioca tells Lawless "I'm good" at U of Montreal. Says he will listen, as he did to Wally in BC and Desjardins in Ottawa, but is very happy with Carabins...

that's a monster number, for sure, but there's a lotta teams who won't even blink while opening the chequebook...
