Vamos Bombaderos!!!! 🏈 💙

Assume you meant boatload.

Couple years ago I bumped into Adam Bighill at the airport. He had a giant suitcase/trunk with him. He said he was taking the Grey Cup up to some of the First Nations communities in Northern Manitoba, to talk to the kids about sports, football and what it's like to play for the Blue Bombers. I'm sure his team-mates will be playing for each other but especially for him next Sunday.

Argos choke on their own hubris. Go Bombers!

OK I did not see that. Milanovich the QB whisperer. Walters takes Dru with him to Ham. Hmmm. So will Walters be dealing with himself when taking offers on Brown's neg rights prior to free agency period? That would be a conflict of interest, right? Everyone seems to think there will be a Dru Brown lottery so Bombers should be able to demand plenty for first right to talk/tamper with him/his agent ...

There's a reason Jake Maier has the worst QB rating of all the starters (and many of the backups) in the CFL. Just 19 TDs vs 15 picks. As well as a noodle arm, he has no peripheral vision. I could see Dickenson, who has been complaining about the offence all season, unloading him next season.

I could see Walters going back to S. Ont. But man, Dru Brown in Steeltown? They have no clue at QB. Steinauer will break him.

Look, it was Steinhauer who recruited an injury-plagued and ageing BLM and signed him to a 3-year $1.62 million deal. Young Taylor Powell is prob the best QB on that team right now. So ya, Hamilton braintrust lacking.

History will record BLM's final pass in the CFL was a pick.

Six out of 9 CFL teams (except Toronto, Hamilton & BC) will be after Dru Brown in Free Agency. Argos have Kelly and BC paid a steep price for VAJ last off season as replacement for Rourke. BC might kick some tires on Brown but I doubt they'll be serious contenders for his services. If Milanovich or Burris (or Buck Pierce) are HC In Sask, then as much as I would hate it, I could see Brown going there. In Alberta Dickenson knows Maier is hot garbage and Calgary will for sure make a play for Brown too. Yes, Edmonton has Tre Ford but Jones kept him on the bench forever and obviously prefers an American QB if possible. Dumb, but probable. Crum? Fajardo? Masoli? Brown potentially looks very appealing as a replacement for any of them so all 3 of those clubs will join in the Brown sweepstakes. That leaves Hamilton who might kick some tires on Brown but I think Taylor Powell will be their guy next season as he has actually been pretty good over there. All of this puts Bombers in a nice position when it comes to ceding neg rights for Brown. Makes we wonder why we don't make a real effort to keep Brown here, although, sadly, I don't expect it.

IMHO Bombers have to make a play for Dru Brown in the off season. I love Zach, MOP and eventual Hall of Famer, but Brown gets rid of the ball quicker, throws with more velocity, and is generally more accurate. If I could only keep only one of the two, Collaros or Brown, and had to let one of them get away ...

When a team like BC takes that many discipline penalties, it's on the coaching staff. Their D definitely were exposed as vulnerable to the run. A loss like that is not the way you want to go into the playoffs. I expect it'll be Calgary showing up at IG Field for the West final.

Here’s a hypothetical that has to do with sidelines and out of bounds placement/decisions: Let’s say in the future it’s Bombers vs Argos. Sergio Castillo attempts a 55 yard FG that unfortunately goes wide and lands 10 yards deep into the end zone but near the sideline. It’s fielded there by Argos returner Javon Leake. He spots a seam along the sideline and because our kick coverage hasn’t been great this season he darts 120 yards up the sideline and is untouched all the way into the Bombers end zone. He does not step out of bounds as he gallops all that distance. But the guy is such a hotdog that as he runs up the sideline he taunts the Bombers by holding the ball over the sideline marker - well over the plane of the sideline and out of bounds as he is running. He does this for the entire length of the amazing return. What is the result? Is it Touchdown for the Argos because he didn't step OOB, or Single for the Bombers because the ball was over the plane of the sideline and considered OOB from the moment the hotdog stuck the ball out there? (Bombers win this game BTW)

But if your foot is out of bounds, as you say, the play is dead, regardless of where the ball is. And as you say Adams was OOB before the stretch, hence placement at the point where he stepped out and ended the play. You could have 10 foot long arms and extend all you like but the ball would not be placed 10 feet ahead of where you stepped out. And of course the endzone pylon is different than the sideline. The pylon is considered to be in bounds, since the goal line stretches to infinity. As long as the player remains in bounds he can stretch for the goal line pylon and if the ball touches the pylon it's a TD! The amazing thing about Rasheed Bailey's pylon-diving TD last year was that he floated through the air for the final 5 yards before the ball reached the pylon And because he did not touch the ground with any part of his body, despite being over the plane of the sideline, it was a TD! Tom Higgins explains the rule https://www.cfl.ca/2009/08/19/td-attempts-is-the-pylon-in-play/

Let's keep it simple. The play is over when either 1) the player, or 2) the ball, goes out of bounds. So in this case, placement depends whether 1) the foot, or 2) the ball goes out of bounds first. If a player steps out of bounds first the spot is where he stepped out. If the ball goes out of bounds first (while the player remains in-bounds) then the spot is where the ball went out of bounds. In this case VA stepped out of bounds before the ball went out of bounds. Therefore the spot is where his foot was, since the play is dead at that point. There can never be a case where the placement of the spot is where the ball went out if the player previously stepped out.
