"Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently determined fool".

Bridge has kinda shown the same, but he has played a bit more and a helluva lot cheaper. It may come down to who is more coachable.

The Edmonton Inuit could be forgiven for feeling overconfident. They have the healthiest starting quarterback in the league and overall their starters have not been decimated like much of the rest of the league. Given Streveler's inexperience, their defence is probably smacking their lips, but his tendency to take off with the ball may be a big advantage. I do not think much of their linebackers but their D-line is solid,

I see several problems with a trade for Franklin, if it comes to that. Firstly, it would leave the Argos without any credible backup to Bethel-Thompson. Secondly, he would not come cheap and it has been very evident that Walters treasures his draft picks and has done well with them. Thirdly, it would be a clear signal that the Bomber brain trust has no confidence in either Streveler or McGuire, and that would be a Bad Thing. Fourthly, since leaving the Esks, Franklin has shown very little. So- a hard no.

You will be using the XFL for comedy relief?

Yup. the Lions, Argos and probably the Riders would have to be interested.

For all of Nichols' accomplishments, all the team has to show, but if this year results for his time here is...one playoff win. Before you succumb to apoplexy, this is obviously not all his fault, but if at the end of the season, all the team has to show for it is just one more playoff win, a shakeup has to be considered.

They were going to meet Manase Foketi for lunch.

Agreed. The common theme that has been in interviews with players who were in the NFL and then came to the CFL was exactly that. The NFL is a machine- all hype and money

Gotta be Bridge.

That would be major-league dumb.

I would bet the farm that Harris could start Friday, but I wouldn't put it past O'Shea to hold him out so as to keep him spry for the Rider games. I do not know if this would signify that they are conceding the Esk game or if they think that the team can get along without Harris and Nichols.

If the Bombers do well against the Esks with Streveler at the helm, it ought to make the back-to-back against the Riders a whole lot easier.

Maybe he has upped his game since.

Today O'Shea was quoted as saying that they would not get serious about looking for another QB until early next week.

To be fair to Desjardins, he lost a very good QB, and a top receiver with no way to replace Harris with a QB of equal or near-equal ability. Hard to pick up and carry on like you did before under those circumstances.

That's what happens when you're on a perpetual Bender.

So far as we know....

So....we should nickname him "peanut'?

Heinicke looks to have all the physical tools but I would questions his smarts. Still, everyone has the occasional brain cramp, particularly after some demon rum.

I would not call him pretentious. He took a principled stand that has cost him a lot of abuse and has given up millions in income.

Moreover, you are apparently literate.

You are among the blessed.

And wasn't LeFevour both useless and a dink here?
