Next .... What changes will bring a Championship?
bigg jay replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
That could be Danny Vandervoort out of McMaster. He was ranked 4th overall in the initial draft rankings (3rd now I guess since the guy ahead of him has retired due to concussions). He's 6'4, 205lbs, and has been compared to Andy Fantuz. -
That rule only applies to cutting weight the week of the fight. That's why I said he would have to diet down first and then cut . It's a 8% limit, meaning the Tuesday before the fight he couldn't weigh more than 167.5. Lightweights walk around in the 180's quite a bit. Eddie Alvarez was in that range only 6 weeks before his fight with Conor so it's not as rare as you think.
-
My point is that it's not inconceivable. We don't know if he'does be a Tibau or a Hendricks because he's never tried to make that weight. All we know is that other guys with similar size have made that weight on a regular basis so it's possible that GSP could too. One huge difference between him and a guy like Hendricks is their discipline. Johny's biggest problem is that he loves to eat ( I can relate! ?) and needs help keeping his weight down in between fights... GSP doesn't have that problem . He definitely has the mentality to do it, if he was serious about it.
-
I would argue that if Tibau, who is also very muscular, can cut from 190 then so can GSP. GSP also believes that he can easily make 155 (by dieting down and then cutting).
-
A couple months ago GSP said he walks around at about 187lbs so if that's true, 155 isn't out of the question. There are definitely lightweights that are around that weight or higher (Gleison Tibau & Dustin Poirier to name a couple).

Sounds like Chungh might not be a free agent
bigg jay replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This. If it means winning games, I don't care if we have 5 international OL. Every team in the East had at least 3 Canadians on the o-line and the only thing that got them was a losing record. -

Yep, he's going to test the NFL waters but I think I read the Bombers have another signed contract ready to be filed, should he not land a job down south. -
Are we picking 6th? IIRC, only the last 2 teams standing have their spot determined by playoffs, meaning that Ottawa or Edmonton will pick 5th (since they had less points than us) & the winner of that game will end up with 8 or 9.

There's always a backlash with that kind of thing but it goes away. Dr.Strange had it when it was announced they had Tilda Swinton cast as the Ancient One but I haven't heard much about it once the movie actually came out.
-
I guarantee you that Woodley doesn't feel that way. He wasnt happy after the fight (even before the screw up with the announcement) and now he misses out on a win bonus too.
-
Woodley didn't win, it was a draw. Conor was very impressive but Khabib is a bad match up for him. Tony Ferguson would be a fun fight for him.

This is one of the things that annoys me about US politics.... the campaign never ends, it just moves right on to the next election. With how bitter & divisive this last election was (and still is ), it's going to be a long 4 years!

Half the guys on that list don't need to bother writing an acceptance speech. BLM, Messam, Medlock & Dickenson are locks. -
Last season was the 1st year with only 2 finalists.

Trump is both of those and more though. He literally goes to trial for fraud in less than 3 weeks.

Around The League Regular Season Discussion
bigg jay replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Not yet, imo. I don't think they would have been giving him all the 2nd string reps after the Willy trade if they didn't feel there was something there. I understand Glenn didn't need the reps but I would imagine that Bennett would have gotten a look or two if they didn't feel Davis had what it takes. I guess if they don't at least try to bring him back in the off-season, we'll have our answer. -
