sweep the leg

You were expecting a sure-fire NFLer to come in?

Duane Forde actually laughed today on H & L when Lawless suggested that trade.

Chris Garrett...

Comparing their 1st four games makes much more sense than projecting Goltz's stats over ten games. Like others have said, Reilly's not the brightest guy in the world if he didn't think getting a big contract would mean he's the man in Winnipeg.

I think you're looking too hard for reasons to complain about Burke. He's the coach, so of course he's going to have to comment on his players. He's rough around the edges, but I don't know if anything he's said is going too far. Your being an Elliott fan is, IMO, why you're still worked up about that comment.

You got 2 penalty minutes tacked on for a typo in the title. That's fair. We better get our crap together now that we'll be competing for playoff spots with good teams.

Delete this one. I totally won the race...

Per Darren Cameron on twitter

I saw a clip on the Daily showed that caught the Jewish guy calling him a disgrace for marrying a muslim. That's what started the argument.

Too bad Swiston is hurt. I'd love to see our top 2 OL prospects both get a chance to play.

Wasn't he Toronto's starting RG for most of last season?

As per Darren Bauming: starting OL this week is January, Greaves, Sorenson, Parenteau, Boatmen

Like how you told the truth about how Wally was using Joey Elliott? Given that he's brought in Pierce to be experience doesn't that lend some credibility to my thoughts on the matter? Doesn't that fact that he held on by a thread as the third stringer for less than half a season tell you what he thought of him? Wally want's pierce and doesn't want Elliott, doesn't that tell you something about Elliott? or more importantly the accuracy of your assesment of him? I'm asking both of you, as politely as possible, to stfu about Elliott.

Did anyone else who listened to the coaches show notice that Tim Burke really emphasized that Parenteau can play centre? It makes me wonder if they are considering moving Sorensen out to guard or tackle. No, I don't think Sorensen is losing his job. Parenteau being able to play centre means we don't have to dress Kowalczuk anymore. Pencer can play instead. I don't know if I would call it "losing his job". More like getting moved over to strengthen the right side of the line. Sorensen has tackle experience. Would be interesting to see something like January-Greaves-Parenteau-Kowalczuk-Sorensen, with Pencer as the sixth man. Not saying it's going to happen, but the way Tim Burke was talking it sure sounds like there is going to be a bit of a shuffle going on the OL. There is virtually no chance that Sorensen plays RT for us.

If that was true he wouldn't have just signed Kyle Koch to replace him. He proved he's not a centre in Sask, but he's a serviceable guard.

I don't think so, but it will be close. You're right that their schedule at the start of the season was much easier than it will be for the rest of the year.

Sheets put up close to 1,300 yards last year, and will improve greatly on that this year. So yes, he's the real deal.

He certainly wasn't the unanimous choice to be the #1 pick, but "off the board" is probably overstated. Regardless, the correct decision was made.

I've read that Taman goes out of his way to avoid his clients as well. I think that as long as he doesn't get an NFL shot he'll be back with the Bombers. He's our guy so I think our GM will be more willing to put up with the agent.

Not sure if that would be a concern for me as long as we are addressing the need by way of the draft, free agency or what have you. Rome wasn't built in a day, our o-line won't be revamped in an off-season. Look at it this way. If Parenteau is still on our roster (top 6) next season, that basically means none of our OL prospects panned out. Why couldn't Greaves, Swiston, & Pencer all be on the roster at the same time as Parenteau?

So bad it was good was my feeling about it. The guy on the fiddle trying to sing "Achy Breaky Heart" while his finger was in his mouth was another a highlight of the performance.

You're trying too hard.

Who else loved the tuba solo during their cover of Fred Penners' "Sandwiches"? Best halftime show ever?
