Experienced bonafide starting non-import offensive linemen aren't just floating around out there. There certainly weren't any in free agency and you don't see teams trading their starting Canadian OL very often... or ever.

The NDP puts money directly in a lot of people's pockets. That's why they are in power and that's why they will stay in power.

Sorry guys but the NDP is not going anywhere any time soon.

From everything Walters has said, I really believe it will be Lavertu or Foucault. Whichever one Ottawa doesn't take. I don't think anyone else is even in the conversation.

That's all I can say about Evan Gill. If Ottawa takes Lavertu, and they are really sour on Goossen, maybe take Gill or trade down for a later first and a second if anyone is interested? I really don't see Foucault fitting our needs for 2nd overall either. He's a pipeline pick, and we already have some guys in the pipeline. Coombs is one hell of a gamble for a team like the Bombers to take IMO. Gill was a man amongst boys. But Coombs got you out of your seat... he was electric. Truth be told I'd be happy with Gill or Coombs if we can't get Lavertu.

All I can say about Anthony Coombs is that he was the best football player on the field at every Bison game I went to this year. He won't disappoint whichever team gets him. It would be a shame to pass up on him just to take another OL that won't see the field for a year or two.

This happens every year you know that right? They have about 70 or 75 players at the start of training camp but rosters are only forty some players. You basically sign a 2nd team in the offseason then cut most of them before training camp is done. I know it's "supposed" to happen every year but I haven't seen this many training camp signings in a loooooong time. I can recall maybe half as many players signed last year and there is still almost two months till camp. It's just nice to see a change. They've gone in with full training camp rosters every year, just because you are choosing not to remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen. They did have the same number of players in the past... but there is a lot more turnover this off-season. Last off-season, we finished the season with so many guys on the injured lists that we almost had a full training camp roster already. Couple that with the fact that we re-signed almost all our practice roster players, and by the time the CFL draft rolled around, there were still only 15-20 new faces on the roster... compared to the 35+ that we already have this year, with the expectation of still signing a few more before the draft.

I find Paul Friesen as repulsive as the rest of you but I don't think you can pin this one on him. He's just doing his job. All the media outlets are talking about it. I just heard on the radio on my way home "And on CTV News, learn about the damage at IGF and how much the Bombers' stadium is costing YOU!!!"

If only the stadium architect had the same attitude! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Ultimate Warrior's speech on Monday Night RAW two days ago: "No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them bleed deeper, than something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever. "You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior. "In the back I see many potential legends, some of them with warrior spirits. And you will do the same for them. You will decide if they live with the passion and intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends as well. I am Ultimate Warrior. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans. And the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever." RIP!!

Paul Friesen ‏@friesensunmedia 47m #Bombers CEO Wade Miller refused Sun's request to have access to stadium and see damage, first-hand. "You're not getting in there."

Bottom line is that Kane will be our highest paid player next season and this year he was 7th in points and 6th in goals. Not good enough.

Right. Because humans have perfected engineering to the point that only earthquakes can ever harm any man made structure. Nothing else could ever go wrong.

Which part of the article wasn't factual? There is no opinion or bias there. To deny it is to deny reality. Nuclear power is dangerous.

After being cut from the Lions in 2012, he spent 2013 playing baseball at Arizona Christian University. My bet is that he showed up to one of our free agent camps and did enough to earn another look.

The destruction of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, caused by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami, resulted in massive radioactive contamination of the Japanese mainland. In November 2011, the Japanese Science Ministry reported that long-lived radioactive cesium had contaminated 11,580 square miles (30,000 sq km) of the land surface of Japan. Some 4,500 square miles – an area almost the size of Connecticut – was found to have radiation levels that exceeded Japan’s allowable exposure rate of 1 mSV (millisievert) per year. About a month after the disaster, on April 19, 2011, Japan chose to drastically increase its official “safe” radiation exposure levels[ii] from 1 mSv to 20 mSv per year – 20 times higher than the US exposure limit. This allowed the Japanese government to downplay the dangers of the fallout and avoid evacuation of many badly contaminated areas. However, all of the land within 12 miles (20 km) of the destroyed nuclear power plant, encompassing an area of about 230 square miles (600 sq km), and an additional 80 square miles (200 sq km) located northwest of the plant, were declared too radioactive for human habitation.[iii] All persons living in these areas were evacuated and the regions were declared to be permanent “exclusion” zones. The precise value of the abandoned cities, towns, agricultural lands, businesses, homes and property located within the roughly 310 sq miles (800 sq km) of the exclusion zones has not been established. Estimates of the total economic loss range from $250[iv]-$500[v] billion US. As for the human costs, in September 2012, Fukushima officials stated that 159,128 people had been evicted from the exclusion zones, losing their homes and virtually all their possessions. Most have received only a small compensation to cover their costs of living as evacuees. Many are forced to make mortgage payments on the homes they left inside the exclusion zones. They have not been told that their homes will never again be habitable. http://www.psr.org/environment-and-health/environmental-health-policy-institute/responses/costs-and-consequences-of-fukushima.html

Pretty surprising. However Wally knows the value of CFL experience, we all knew he was not going to go into the season with 3 untested rookies behind Lulay... This is him telling Marcel Desjardins to PFO with his outrageous asking price for Kevin Glenn.

Look what has happened from the Fukushima disaster alone!!

We should be expanding hydroelectric power to never-before-seen levels. The real power is in ocean currents. The tides come in each day, and each day they go back out? Unexplainable. But that is movement on such a massive scale. We should be harnessing that power, instead of leaking radioactive material into the air like 17to85 says.

Yes let's all use nuclear power. Who cares if it wipes a town off the map every 25 years or so. Efficiency is the name of the game! And nuclear waste? Forget about it! We can just bury it.

No way.... the Miz is awesome...

Why would he be looking to trade Westerman? Because he told Wally he won't be extending Not quite. He told Wally he didn't want to extend right now... not that he wouldn't consider it in the future. He probably wants to use this year to prove himself as a starter and get starter's money, which I'm sure Wally isn't offering at the moment.

Stupid when he had 17 in the lockout season. He was on pace for 30 in that season (technically 29.something but we're rounding up to make a point) and had 19 in his sophmore season and 14 in his rookie season and he has 17 in 60 games right now, I don't care what kind of excuses you want to come up with, Kane is at least a 20 goal player and guys who can hit between 20 and 30 goals are worth more than people want to admit. Especially when they're over 6 feet tall and skate that well. Stupid? It's a fact, it can't be stupid. Guys who score between 20 and 30 a year (even though he has only actually achieved that once) generally aren't making 6 million, whether you care to admit it or not.

He's only had over 20 goals once in five seasons. Awful big investment based on one decent year.
