  1. Yep. If only there were some way we could win 22 consecutive GC's so the rest of league could feel the way we've felt for years. At the very least, we better win our next one before Ottawa does...
  2. Okay serious question. Who are you talking about when you say this? I've seen it twice now and I have no idea who you mean. A quick 'googlin' revealed a manly beard. Manly beard + kicker = Hugh Oneil? But that wouldn't make sense, considering he is an Eskimo.
  3. Turner re-signed and Sandro released. Thread of the year???
  4. I'd rather just use the Ask Madden feature. FB Fake HB Toss. Trust me, it'll work.
  5. I seriously hope that 'pulling off a Willy' becomes a commonplace saying in 2014!
  6. Balls. I was hoping we could pick him up. He's looked real good in limited action.
  7. I think MTL might be ready to hitch their wagons to Troy Smith in favor of paying for Collaros.
  8. Good for Glenn, he deserves to be a starter somewhere. DeMarco at backup is nothing to be upset about either.
  9. if he didn't want to be here then why would he apply for the OC position. I don't want to be at work right now, but I have bills to pay! Even if he doesn't want to be in WPG, there are still only so many OC positions available in the CFL... he's casting as broad of a net as he needs to land a job.
  10. Personally, I'd take anyone over Murray Clarke.Remember a couple years ago when Brink took a blatant shot to the head with Murray Clarke staring directly at him... and no call? Not just a missed call, it was more like Clarke just let it happen. It was so bad that when the TSN panel broke the play down they froze the frame at the moment of impact and zoomed in on Clarke staring intently as it happened. I had enough reasons to not like him up to that point, but that non-call sealed the deal.
  11. The only one I'm not sure about would be Zach Anderson over JD Griggs.
  12. PLL was solid depth, and was asked to do a lot more than he should have been doing at points in his Bomber career.
  13. Really Don Matthews? Can't believe anyone would even say that.... I think I see what Spuds is saying. Ya, undeniably a great coach when you look at his record overall, but at some point he just wasn't the same as he used to be. A '67 Camaro is a sweet ******* car til the engine blows and the wheels fall off.
  14. I've noticed that a lot of online outlets aren't bothering with the allcaps. Some articles I've seen from the Sun around Canada are going with RedBlacks. Googling REBLACKS this morning, and CBC.ca is also going with RedBlacks. It's such a dumb idea that it might not even gain enough traction to stick til the start of the season. k wait, that wasn't a goofy trend created here? that was an actual thing they tried to start? my word what a dumb idea... Oh, it's a thing. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/ottawa-cfl-redblacks-franchise-asks-write-nickname-caps-193804246.html
  15. Matt Nichols hasn't been brought up much. Is it universally agreed that he is too 'injury prone' to be considered starter material? If it came down to Burris +1 but Collaros/Willy were too expensive or otherwise spoken for, I imagine Nichols would come at a cheaper rate. Or at least have a different sort of structure to his contract due to his injury history. He sure can play from what we've seen. I know the immediate reaction for most people is 'Nooooope, not again.' Somehow I can't figure out what separates a player from being unlucky, foolhardy, or full blown injury prone.

  17. Here is the video they played at the unveiling of the name. It goes into the origin of the name a bit. Plenty of bilingualism and emotionally manipulative music to go around. http://www.ottawaredblacks.com/video/index/id/91509
  18. I hear you. To be clear, I think the actions of the individuals in question are reprehensible. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
  19. I thought Orlondo Steinauer had the Hamilton D turned around significantly from 2012 (a low bar, maybe). I wouldn't complain about seeing him here as our DC.
  20. I think it's offensive that MBB bleeps the word gay. MBB must be a forum full of homophobes. I'm calling the Free Press.
  21. Nope, I'm not ignoring that at all. Shwarma Time on Ellice has had to put up with some **** over the years, but they're going strong years later with a very specialized menu. Why? Probably because Winnipeg is more ethnicly diverse and densely populated than a place like Morris. For every white bread Winnipeger who wouldn't set foot in a dark and musky Lebanese owned/operated street meat vendor, there is another Winnipeger who will. Do you accept that literally the only reason these businesses couldn't stay afloat was because of racism and bigotry? That if it wasn't for all those darn racist homophobes these businesses would have been thriving? If so, then you must be ignoring the existence of successful businesses owned by people of color in this town that haven't had to close their doors due to attacks by racists. I maintain that these businesses probably failed because the market wasn't right for them, plain and simple. There is no network of bigots in Morris trying to keep down the black/gay man, only a handful of garden-variety assholes you'll find in every town on the planet and a few businesses that were probably doomed to fail from the start.
