  1. Without a hockey contract, you would have to think this will lead to even more ESPN-ization of TSN. More panels, more "The Quiz", more radio shock jocks being simulcast on TV.... I would assume they'll make us pay more too, but we shall see.
  2. I wonder how TSNGO and the newly unveiled TSN1-5 channels will impact coverage/accessibility of hockey and football. You would naturally think it would make it easier, but I'm not so sure.
  3. Its complete and utter BS from Bell in another attempt to control more media. We pay for TSN and TSN2 through MTS, but we don't have access since MTS (and most other cable companies) are not willing to shell out cash to Bell just so consumers can stream media online when they won't get any return on that. This is particularly a pain in the butt when they broadcasted on TSN that to watch a playoff hockey game we should go to TSN.ca while we waited for a college playoff game to be over. Holy geeze I hate the media corporations in this country. I would however cut cable and pay for TSN if they decided to offer their online stream in a package. Also, not all the videos are locked for me. I get a lot of the highlight videos still, it seems its mostly just live streaming that is locked so far.
  4. I think the real burning question here is whether or not Casey Printers will be signed by the Bombers.
  5. This is a non-story in my opinion. Generally the people that don't re-new are those likely more influenced by things like a terrible season, or alternatively, were more likely to buy season tickets for the first year of a stadium.
  6. I think its pretty clear that its Dr Jaffery13. Not sure how much more clear it could be. We're clearly in talks for a doctor.
  7. I don't hate the comments, honestly. Confidence? Good. Desire to be multiple? Crucial. Definitely concerned what he means by no playbook, but I don't buy that anyways. Maybe its not physically copied out page by page. More concerned by how he intends to implement the scheme.
  8. Two things I don't like: This town's media. And the "WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!" group. Contrary to popular belief, buying a ticket or being a taxpayer does not mean you are a key decision maker on Blue Bomber events. They are required to give us some information, but that is it. If Miller keeps this up, I will be very impressed. It's about time someone let the media know they either need to write fairly or learn to deal with the consequences.
  9. Aside from the PEDs what specifically don't you like about him? He was bad just not very good at linebacker. When he finally got an opportunity he couldn't make a name for himself (and was then replaced a year later). Played primarily as a special teamer throughout his career, so maybe the Bombers keep him around for that, with the opportunity for him to develop if he still can. Jeff Fisher loved guys that could play special teams.
  10. Followed McRath's career with the Titans. Didn't like him then, still don't like him now. Also got suspended for 'roids. Will be interesting to see how he converts to the CFL game.
  11. Holding for sure, why not review whether a receiver was offside in his waggle too? Where does it end? Are we going to give coaches 20 challenge flags per game because there are a lot of calls get missed or are questionable in the course of a game. Hell why even have referees on the field? After every play let someone in Toronto watch a replay and call a penalty if there is one and review everything. Just say no to reviews. Go back to letting the onfield officials do it all and if they're wrong they're wrong. It will balance itself out over the course of a season. I'm agree with this train of thought. The slippery slope effect may present itself where eventually we take out the real time human element from the game. Some may call that traditional type thinking, not keeping up with the times of available technology. I call it boring where the game will have ultimately have no flow to it. I'd rather have the calls be right. Each team gets 2 challenges a game, the fear-mongering of too many reviews is overblown.
  12. Are you pleading for the Bob Wylie thingy or just remembering the words at the end of your first date? Obviously both.
  13. Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
  14. Feel like he took an extreme viewpoint that wasn't necessary.
  15. Chiu would be interesting. Definitely fit as an O'Shea hire. I'd be down with it.
  16. A "no doubt starter" for Glenn? Screw that. Man I am going to be ticked if we pay that.
  17. See, I don't think the problem many have (at least not me) is that he has to be either positive or negative about the team. As the lead columnist for the Freep, I do however expect him to be educated. Before the Unknown Poster gets all in a knot and shouts "But it's just his opinion!" I would like to point out that opinions can be both stupid and/or wrong. That's my problem with Lawless. If you are going to praise or criticize the Bombers or Jets, do it with both logic and evidence. There are plenty of reasonable arguments to be made off that.
  18. What an utterly useless, stupid post. This has as much insight as a Lawless article. No wonder you like him.
  19. Meh, Lawless has a point, but as usual in the rare instances he actually knows what he's talking about, still manages to throw enough crap in it that the effect diminishes.
  20. Guy looks solid. Found another tall, American receiver.
  21. What's the over/under on when fans start demanding Buck to come out of retirement and become our starting QB again? Week 1. Average fan still thinks he's really good.
  22. Can we start a pool on how long it takes for someone to call into CJOB and say that O'Shea should be fired and replaced with Pierce? "Hi Bob, long time listener, first time caller...just wondering..." I am setting the over/under at Week 9.
