  1. Maybe, just maybe, he might be better than Kuale. But then there are people in personal care homes who probably are.
  2. I expect Mr. Heenan to be offered a high paying off-field "job" with a private firm which will allow the Riders to keep under the cap. It has happened before and will happen again.
  3. The secondary is about the only thing salvageable from the defence beside one of our linebackers and one or two of our D-line.
  4. Actually, that response might work well if you're being asked about choosing what live theatre to attend.
  5. With Willy upright, we have a decent chance of a win, maybe even a substantial win. Without Willy in the game, its a toss-up, maybe with an edge to Ottawa. Ottawa has nothing to lose and the Bombers have everything to lose. If the Bombers lose, its a death spiral downwards from here, and we've been down that road too many times.
  6. Obviously a man of few words.
  7. So people are wired like that though, they look at their own team through critical eyes but gloss over a lot of problems with other teams. See it happen all the time. Its the passion for ones team that sometimes prevents us from being objective at times. We're fans!! That automatically means we are neither objective nor dispassionate. If we were, what would be the point in watching games and yelling at the TV? My wife keeps asking me if I think they can hear me when I'm yelling. I tell her " your dam right." lol. If you yell loud enough they can. Especially if you wear your tinfoil hat.
  8. I sure wish I knew what on earth the coaching staff sees in Kuale that keeps him on the roster ahead of Kromah.
  9. …..The funny bone…….. …….It's quite a phenomenon, but most Saskatchewanites are missing it. Also worth noting is, the tendon that was torn in Durant's arm, I believe, is the tendon that leads to the humerus bone. Now isn't that ironic? Definition of irony: the opposite of wrinkly.

  11. Sooooo, like the Bombers at the moment?
  12. Have to disagree with you on this- if this was the 2013 Bombers, I could not find fault with your logic, but its 2014. We may be short on talent at the moment, but we have Willy, even if he's banged up and the overall team compares very favourably to Ottawa. This has to be a pride game and we could call it the Futility Bowl. If Ottawa loses it will be no big deal to them, but if the Bombers lose to this sad lot, they deserve to walk back to Winnipeg. What worries me is that Hank could have his one spectacular game of the year against us.
  13. I'm sure that if a chicken sacrifice would speed up Durant's recovery, the Riders would consider it, even if it meant a drop in the average IQ in the province.
  14. As posed earlier, a Sask trade for Nichols still makes the most sense- Edmonton has pretty much indicated by fawning over White that Nichols has no future there.
  15. Desjardin's action so far have been so laughable and nonsensical that trying to guess what he has in mind is a crapshoot. A rational GM would have kept Glenn at a sane salary and used the extra money to improve the rest of the offense, but here we are. Whatever Dejardins would have gotten in trade for Burris from Sask would have been an improvement over what he has now, and the team's record would not have suffered from Burris' departure. The Glieberguys are long gone but the stupidity lingers on in Ottawa.
  16. Straight down Main street.... moves the chains.... splits the uprights.... the ageless wonder, Anthony Calvillo.....
  17. It's gotta be Greg Battle- talent, fire, toughness and leadership. Had he not taken that "hiatus" away from the Bombers, there wouldn't even be a discussion.
  18. Why would Taman leak info about the offer for a player that was supposedly rejected knowing that a large portion of the fanbase can't stand the player in question? Sorry not buying it, Taman has nothing to gain by that. What was there to lose in telling Madani after Desjardins had told Taman to go fly a whatever?His reputation? You really are amazing. My name is Migs. Where I come from, GMs are always completely up front and there's no such thing as media spin. So you honestly think Taman & the Riders medical staff are being dishonest about Durant's return just to please the fans? Wow you got me. lol Let's just say they are being "overly optimistic".
  19. Something not as painful or expensive as an ankle divorce. Obviously.
  20. And still, no one wants to sign Jade Etienne. Sad.
  21. This is supposed to be the Bomber fan site, but if Taman offered a first round for Burris and DesJardins refused it, they both should be sent to pee in a cup while someone watches closely. Nichols for Bagg would make one hell of a lot more sense.
  22. Honestly, the biggest WTF this game was "we can't review due to technical difficulties with the command centre". WTF was that about. THAT IS BUSH LEAGUE STUFF. The CFL IS bush league. I love it, but that doesn't make NOT a bush league. The CFL is a bush league? Lets look at the NFL's track record: sheltering woman-beaters, drunks, druggies, and child-abusers. All this from a multi-billion dollar "not-for-profit philanthropic" organization which is fighting court battles to deny their cheer-leaders health care or even minimum wage. And does not pay a penny in taxes.
  23. An article in this morning's Freep confirms that Willy's helmet-speakers were out for the last bit of the game- don't know how long.
  24. Welcome to both of you- we're in the midst of a post-mortem on the loss to Hamilton. There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth here at the moment, but we will eventually get over it.
  25. With Grigbsy and no timeout, I'm not. The only run play I would have tried there is QB Draw. Hamilton wasn't going to let Grigsby beat them around the edge, and he can't make a cut to save his life between the tackles. A good idea in theory, but you may recall that the Bombers tried a QB draw a bit earlier and not only did it fail, it looked like a Keystone Kops routine. All it needed to complete the picture was the comedic sounds effects. And what was the gain on that play? I think it was about 2 yards and Willy got clobbered real good.
