What did Swiston ever do to have people **** on him? Just a shame he never worked out for us...

Every jersey I wear is a Royal. Have a Joe Pop and Doug Brown from the last incarnation of Royals, and got a Dunigan version of the new Royals. I just can't justify spending money on either the Navy or Beige ones....both the design and colour scheme are a total mess.

I was hoping he would re-sign with them. I am now hopeful he plays. I for one am looking forward to seeing Hurl start for you guys. He will shore up the run game that's for sure. Richie Hall and a healthy DL are going to shore up the run game more than anything...

Yes, the team does listen to the fans. And yes, we do monitor forums, mostly to make sure we can dispel false information that's being spoken about as fact. However, first off, it's not a decision made by the "Marketing department" to change the uniform colors. Secondly, yes, we are well aware that a segment of fans wants the team to go back to royal blue full time. Thirdly, it's not as easy as just "deciding" to make a change and then doing it. There are far more factors that would go into a move like that than just making a decision a couple of months before the season and swapping jerseys. It would have to be approved at a variety of levels, and then there would be a substantial cost to switching over all of the team gear, down to the most minute pieces of equipment. If a color scheme switch is going to happen, it's a decision that's made thoughtfully and carefully at higher levels than just the "Marketing department", with consideration given to all of those factors and many, many more. Yes, the royal blues are gorgeous and we know a lot of fans love them. But to suggest the team isn't listening to its fans, or that we "know best" as you put it, just because the royal blues haven't been brought back as the primary jersey is a terribly unfair characterization of the situation when there is substantially more to it than that. But thanks for your input! I'm sure we all appreciate the explanation, but if the club was really paying attention, you wouldn't be talking about a decision that had to be made a couple months before the season started. The fans have been calling for the royal blues ever since you first released them. Personally, I'm just tired of being the Beige Bombers on the road. Respectfully want to point out it's not just "a segment of the fans"...I think if there was a poll, you'd see a VAST MAJORITY of fans want the Royal Blues full time. That said, I understand there's a LOT of politics at play here.

Well I'm glad someone explained it...

We're this close to repairing the damage done from past years…and letting O-Linemen walk, to arriving at a full house of capable? personnel. So now, we have to look to the future and drafting with the future in mind. The O-Line is a different entity onto itself and thank goodness Walters recognizes that. I like Demski - but I love the #2 position…for this year. They had a plan for free agency and now, with these new pieces in place, and possibly more, they'll formulate an attack plan for the draft. I'm looking forward to seeing them enact that plan. I read this twice, and I still have no idea what exactly you're trying to say...it feels like you used a whole lotta words, and some weird Left-Justify formatting to say a lot of nothing. Ha ha...what exactly was your point?

For what it's worth, Walby was tweeting today that the Bombers should take Demski. Not disagreeing with those saying it, but I've got a hard time with not taking an OL with that #2 overall...

Stockpile OL and let 'em season...

Not surprised in the least. Certain types of players pull **** like this, and it's no big deal, but God help us all if a team changes their mind and "disrespects" a player. All hell breaks loose, and the team is the most evil organization of all time. Give me a team of Pontbriand attitudes...

...and preferably one that isn't built like Bryan Guebert....

*fart noise* ....no thanks. Maybe it's too much time living around Calgary and having to hear about this guy everywhere you go. This is not someone I want on the Bombers. Really hoping he'd just retire. Milt doesn't like the guy, I don't like the guy...

Never said anyone was....said the situation reminds me of that. There was negativity here, now none. People are tougher when they think the message isn't really being heard by anyone.

...because you need tips on how to gain weight so you can go on worker's comp?? #YourWindowToWeightGain #JustEmptyVitamins

Love how everyone's going the same way as when Stanford Samuels showed up on OB.com about a decade ago. People **** on him quite regularly, then he shows up on the boards, and everyone was the biggest fan "EVAR!!11!1".... Lulz @ message board people...

Keep that tubby ***** as far away as possible, please....

...Except for the fact that he's, y'know, better than Bogo...at least....bottom line, you're thinking too much. If you have the opportunity to add a great big stud D man in the Pronger mold, you do it...every time.

Yeah, if there's one thing you can have too many of, it's stud NHL d-men...

I don't know a Goddamn thing about the Capitals, other than Delta Bravo Ovechkin is there. I don't like the Caps, don't like Kane, so putting him there would be great. I can haz Karl Alzner in return?? As for the Buffalo thing, I'd take Tyler Myers for Kane straight up, in a heart beat. Anything more than that is a humongous bonus...

It's weird because he was working out in Bombers facilities this morning as per Twitter. That seems odd if he knew he was on the way out...

also of note -- January just posted a pic of him working out at the Bombers facilities. Not sure if that means he's not going anywhere, but.....it's something.

Unfortunately, most of our needs this year were also needs going to camp last year. If our scouting was where we need it to be, I doubt that we'd be sitting here discussing a guy like Earnest Jackson. It was a thrown together, first year scouting department. They get a pass for last year. This is their first full year, and I expect to see much better results...

gary lawless ✔ @garylawless Hearing an announcement on Calgary OL Brett Jones signing with an NFL club is imminent #cfl

Lawless tweeting that Jones is about to sign an NFL deal...

Interesting. It's very different on the iPhone app. Picture is the same but background is different.Time to upgrade to a better phone ;-)I've got an iPhone 5. His point stands...

I don't even know who Shankman is. I just know the other place became full of bullshit, and this place has relatively more freedom. *My* internet is that of a wild west, where anything goes. *Their* internet is one of censorship. This place, while not as open and free as CFLZ was, is still closer to how the 'Net should be...
