Drew Willy was a lock as our starter before we traded for Nichols too though. Just because a guy is a starter right now, doesn't mean he will be in a year's time... lots of things can change, especially when you have zero quarterbacks under contract for next year.

We didn't go oline when we last had the 1st overall pick . The early draft rankings only have 1 OL in the top 5 so there doesn't seem to be alot of them to choose from, especially if there's any nfl interest.

As long as Edmonton doesn't crap the bed late, then yes we pick 1st. Montreal eliminated the possibility of a 3 way tie with their win earlier today.

Is too many men a challengeable offense?

Outside interference! I want a do-over! lol

Saw it tonight and really enjoyed it . the special effects alone make it worth seeing in the theater .

Haven't seen Ottawa's depth chart yet but Bauming says they've put a whopping 16 players on the 1 game list for this game.

They didn't get the Evil Empire nickname for nothing, they just haven't really been living up to it before this season.

If our offense is as bad as it was last week, it won't matter if Ottawa's back-ups score 10 points or 100. After that piss poor showing, the Bombers better be coming out swinging, regardless of who's on the field across from them.

Not that their offense was anything spectacular last week but this should help us right the ship before playoffs.

Sticking with Harris.

I've also got one of "those" guys behind me in 210. I think I've seen @do or die in 211 a couple times this year so maybe your problem is gin related?

There's a maximum of 17 padded practices allowed during the regular season. Given that we're in week 20, chances are that we've used up those 17 or have maybe 1 left? https://press.cfl.ca/new-canadian-football-league-player-health-and-safety-measures-for-2016-season

"The mere fact that he flew from his family home in Florida to Edmonton at Nicholle’s urging was impressive enough."

Yep. Forgot that 3 way ties are broken differently. Montreal owns the tie breaker over both other teams individually but their head to head record is the 1st tie breaker if all 3 teams are tied. Sask is 1-3 while Toronto is 2-2. Probably irrelevant though. The chances of both Toronto and Saskatchewan winning are pretty slim.

What Montreal does is irrelevant, they can't finish lower than Toronto or Saskatchewan because of the tie breakers. The only way we end up with the 2nd pick is if the Riders lose and the Argos win.

Let's do it . Going with Harris for the win!

Interesting suggestion... would increase the odds of us wanting the same player though. I'm pretty sure I would hold the tie breaker (# of different players picked throughout the contest) so I'm ok with that!

Damn Bowman, I was 34 seconds from victory! Now who to pick this week...

Davaris Daniels

Given the learning curve Osh was going to have as a rookie HC, I'm not going to fully count his 1st two seasons against him. I've seen enough progression from him since his 1st year that I'm on-board with a 3 year deal. The team is heading in the right direction & players are choosing to come here when they have other options (see Gurley) so let's keep that going! Based on the same reasoning, we should do the same with Walters... question is how long? 3-4 is perfectly fine with me. 5 years might be a bit much but then again he could have bailed on us for the AD job at Guelph but he was committed to this team. We could do the same for him.

High ranking people for sure, and the debt was a massive factor (Goldman-Sachs actually received a warning from the feds about the debt deal it arranged for this sale) but most of their jobs were redundant now. Wright was brought on-board to help break into Ontario (and other Canadian markets to a lesser extent) but his main mission was accomplished. Most of his job could now be done by someone else from a central location. The need for boots on the ground, so to speak, was finished. Zelaznik & Berger had similar roles in Asia & Europe and met the same fate. Given that WME IMG has their hands in pretty much every type of media, they probably already have people like Maloney, Muncey & Pollack on staff. Cook is really the only guy I'm suprised by. There were other moves related to this that happened in the last couple weeks (the Brazillian boss left as did Dave Sholler, their long time PR exec) so either the writing was on the wall or they had been informing staff that there was going to be layoffs.

Yep, the Canadian staff was just one part of the axe cutting. The new bosses are saying that the cuts only affect 15% of their total staff. Most of the people fired were execs (like Wright) who were in charge of getting getting legislation passed. Since that has been accomplished, there really wasn't much of a need for those high payed guys.

Talk about a low bar...

The next *****-fest will be that they don't get immediate refunds, they have to wait until game day & go to the ticket office at IGF.
