[Lock of the Week Part II: Week 9]

Kenny Lawler

[Proposed Annual CFL Schedule]

Not a fan of only having the Grey Cup in Toronto or Vancouver.  The game needs to move around.

[Leos at the Elks]

I don't get why Corny is still in the game?

I've seen highschool teams with more diverse offences that what Jeffries for Sask is putting out there...brutal

There's a reason he was like the 19th choice for the job. Their entire football ops should be replaced but I'm hoping for extensions for everyone!

Dickenson calling his team soft is pretty hilarious :

I'm sure his team appreciates being thrown under the bus publicly.

Guess he doesn't believe in easing guys back in?

Shawn Lemon. Elfrid Payton. Joe Montford. Alouettes' GM Danny Maciocia believes all three names deserve to be uttered in the same breath.

 

 

[Random question of the week]

Who is the best TV sitcom character of all time?

Al Bundy for me (or Homer Simpson if we're including animated characters).

[Random question of the week]

Who was your sports hero growing up?

Dave Semenko - he was relative (not close) but the kid version of me was in awe having a "cousin" as a member of the best team in hockey, and he was Gretzky's body guard to boot.

Who is it today (if different)?

Don't really have one but there are guys like MOS that I really appreciate the way they go about their business (except if there are thorax or roster management issues 😂).  The contrast between him and other coaches like the Dickenson's is ridiculous.

And which sports hero of yours let you down the most?

Mike Sellers... said he'd come back and play another season here before retiring because it was so much fun.  I'm still waiting Mike!

On the flip side, who is your original sports villain,

Tim Hunter (or any other Calgary Lame from that era).

and who is your chosen villain now?

Toss up between Dana White or Gary Bettman.

[Lock of the Week 8]

Might as well take Ouellette too since there aren't very many great options (bye weeks suck!).

YWG News: WestJet has added nonstop flights from Winnipeg to Huatulco, Mexico to their schedule. 

Starting on Dec 24th, the flights will operate once a week, on Sundays.

Loved Huatulco when we visited there a few years ago.  Hot as hell though! 😂

If the Bombers don't bring in Lemon, I wonder if they look at Usher?

I think we see the Argos destroy the Tigercats. Argos are playing well and Hamilton is starting a third stringer.

To be fair, all their QB's are pretty much 3rd stringers (2nd string at best).

Other than BLM (who's questionable at this stage of his career), none of their QB's are close to being a starter.  Arbuckle, Schiltz, Locksley, Pipkin or Powell... none of them scare anyone.  Powell is still new to the league so he might have potential one day but the rest...

what part of this would make even the half intelligent fan fee good?....good grief....our moaning and groaning is peanuts compared to this atrocity

Am I the only one who reads it as Band-Aid instead of Bandy when looking at their o-line?  Don't think it's a far stretch, given their history over the last few seasons.

Eli looks to have shed 50 lbs. of belly fat from when he was here in 2021, looking a bit frail compared to some.

You could see it was something he was working on in 2021 too.  He was noticeably leaner from when he first got here in 2019.

He should have one waiting. He is a Bomber legend already. 

Can't wait for the reaction to his statue having him in shorts and a hoodie. 😂

MOS called that INT selfish on the post game.

He also called the L's coaching staff intelligent.  I think he's just trolling people when he's forced to talk to the media. 😂

Was Lawler 

Yup pretty sure Schoen didn't play after getting popped. 

He went to the room with the trainer but came back a few minutes later.  Stayed on the sidelines in full gear but didn't see the field again unless I missed it.

Well he did sign a 3 yr deal...and his commitment was taken away from him due to stupid regulations...If that had never happened...good chance Kolo wouldnt even be in the league...as he was already out of the league and we needed a body

He also moved his family here full-time IIRC.  I don't have any doubts about his commitment.
