Austin and Stephen can say what they want. His contract is guaranteed at this point of the season if I'm not mistaken. Unless he doesn't qualify for vet status but he should.

Won't be as bad as we think without Bob. Part of Bob's incredible legacy is the team he assembled over the years to make his broadcasts so awesome. The next guy will not be Bob, but he gets Bob's gameday machine. For sure, and there is a vet in house for color already. Doug does a nice job with that.

Bauming, Hamilton, and Wyman are all dead to me for the Harris screw job. I said I would boycott them and I still am. Hamilton made any shot of redemption even worse during Chevy-gate. I wish Winnipeg sports teams would revoke his press pass.

Yep. Had a few friends say to me that the Bombers got away with one on Saturday. I was like WTF are you talking about? The only thing that would have concerned me is if they could hang with us for 4Qs. They would have been the only team able to do that and it would have revealed maybe the only blueprint to success a team might have against us. NOPE. They blew their wad in the first 3Qs and had nothing left for the 4th. Just like every other team we've played. NO ONE can hang with us for 4Qs.

Huff has 998 yards in 19 games. This has gotta be a vax, or locker room issue. Can't be SMS because at this stage of the season veteran contracts are now guaranteed I believe.

We wouldn't have to hear it if he would finally complete one. Don't put all the blame on the media, it's a narrative that won't go away because Fajardo is keeping it going. Dinwiddie is going to be a good one. We saw a lot of the same stuff with Osh his first year but you can tell by watching the effort of the players. His guys show up for him. STs are the only guys deserving of continued employment in Ottawa I guess.

You could literally take a name out of the hat from the RIders roster and they would be one of the most overrated players in the league. Our CDN CFL media thrives on Rider clickbait and overrating them is a great way to get clicks. I found it hilarious when Rod Pederson even admitted to this on his podcast. He said when he was Rider media and needed to drum up action on his twitter and blogs all he had to do was suggest the Riders were going to win the Cup. I was thinking the same thing when they were bragging about how great their defence played. Grey Cup calibre D according to Riderfans. They were playing the Elks scout offence.

Doesn't matter who we drafted ahead of him because we could have had him for nothing when BC released him. I want the two teams in the WSF to beat the crap out of each other. That is all. If it is a tie game that needs OT even better. Not scared of either team in the WSF but we won the right to rest and they won the right to come in limping.

Only part that sucks is driving for home games but away games are awesome.

Pinawa is beautiful country. I love the Shield. I'm a lot further North but same idea. I will say this, if you are looking lakefront and building later then keep your eyes open. Undeveloped lake front is hard to find. PRO TIP: Running a 100 ft extension cord, an XBOX and a TV down to the dock to stream Bomber games while you fish is about as good as it gets.

Yea....my retirement was something that I sacrificed a lot for. I don't know what the answer is for you in particular, but I originally bought my cottage property first and then built as I could afford it. I was there for 20 or so years too. When I was first building up my business my wife and I lived in the stock room for the first year..lol. Drove to the public pool for a shower each day. I think that's what inspired me to go into the hotel business shortly thereafter...at least we would have a bed and a shower for sure.

It took a lifetime of hard work and I'm not rich...just comfortable.

Been humming and hawing on the idea of buying a nice lakefront home in the Okanagan for several years now. Would have done it a long time ago if they had a sliver of the fishing and tranquility I currently enjoy. Arthritis might force this decision in the coming years but for right now no matter how cold our winters have been, I have not pulled the trigger.

I think he was slated to make 195k if memory serves. Willie was the one who was to make 250k. Both men took considerable shaves though and should be commended for their commitment to the team.

You will get to see it again...and again...and again in different incarnations throughout his career. Lots of talent, not much effort will be how he is remembered.

Let's not discount some incredibly flukey plays by the Riders that made the game much closer than it really was. They had horseshoes up their butt in the 2nd half of that game.

Context is everything. Before Collaros multiple games playing our back up QB. At the time we lost Nichols we were 1st in the West. If you want to say mid-tier behind our backup I will accept that. However, saying we were mid tier with our starter healthy in 2019 is complete fallacy. Let me clear it up. With Nichols under centre we were a very good team. With Collaros under centre we became dominant.

No idea. Farhan simply states that there are 5-6 KEY Stampeder players who are unvaccinated and are refusing to get vaccinated. I don't agree that they need to put their names forward. The problem isn't them, they have the right to choose. Fans should be angry with the team for keeping them on knowing that they will be unable to play when it counts. I am confused by what happened to KSB in Saskatchewan. That kid seemed to be performing very well and was a favorite for ROY then bam....replaced by ham & eggers like Lenius and McInnis and riding the pine. Attitude? Locker room problem? Surely it can't be performance based.

If you want to add even more context, in the Northern region the vast majority of cases are all from one reserve that is having a very bad outbreak due to overcrowded living conditions. Norway House Cree Nation. The Southern Health region really has no excuse.

The report just came out last week, and it indicated that the 5-6 players in Calgary have dug in their heels and will not get vaccinated. They have two weeks to change their minds or it is too late.

We were better than mid-tier prior to Collaros but I agree that we became dominant with him. Sure that's part of it. Getting less than a millisecond behind that OL in Ottawa was the main factor though. Nichols is a competent QB behind a good OL. A less than average OL and he doesn't, and never did, have the tools to be successful. Zach's got a lot of football left in the tank. The only way he even remotely ponders retirement in the next few seasons is if the concussions become an issue again.

After watching Nichols this year behind the Ottawa OL, I will never sell an OL short again on their impact on QB play. Our OL made Nichols look competent, and is definitely a big part of the elevated play of Collaros. That being said, Collaros is just a perfect fit for any team with a great OL. He is, and always was even in Saskatchewan, a guy that was exceptional at delivering a perfectly thrown long ball. His injury year in Hamilton notwithstanding, what held Collaros back from what we are seeing now was the fact he had to play behind an atrocious OL in Sask that routinely got him killed. There is no doubt that our OL is a big factor in his success. However, Collaros reads a defence really well, extends plays like no other, and can make every throw on the field with great accuracy and timing. The difference between his natural abilities and Nichols is pretty substantial.

https://3downnation.com/2021/10/22/stampeders-have-five-or-six-key-players-who-remain-unvaccinated-cant-travel-for-playoffs/ Looks like the Stamps are going to be short a bunch of starters if they make the West Final.

They can feel that way all they want, but what they gain in the running game they lose double in Bo's inability to throw anymore. Unless his shoulder suddenly and miraculously heals, and he suddenly becomes a cold weather player, the Stamps are still worse than the team they had in 2019. I expect SSK in the West final actually. If Calgary can get out of SSK with a win they will be beat up.

Unions believe if wages and manpower aren't increased 5% a year that equates to a cut. The budget says there have been increases to healthcare year over year. Is it enough? That's a question we will answer at the polls next election, but it is entirely disingenuous to call them cuts.
