Open poll question for the masses. Rank the “alternate” jerseys from best to worst. Can rank as just the jersey, the entire uniform combo including pants, socks, and helmet, or do two separate rankings. The contenders: The 75th Anniversary game uni (white pants): The 75th Anniversary uni, Grey Cup version (blue pants): 1950’s retro: 1960’s retro: 2010 alternate (grey face bars): 2013 alternate (blue face mask): 2014 camo: 2022 alternate:

We can keep throwing out suggestions, but I don’t see one topping Maier McCheese. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat and concede the win to the superior player. This may be the most brilliant nickname since Kamau Incompleterson. That one is in the Hall of Fame.

And yet we managed to fit him in with our top 2 receivers pulling in $425K and a QB adding another $600K to that total, which exceeds Edmonton’s $908K when you add in Cornelius (now THAT is the real overpay at $392,000!). Roster management! 😁

I am framing this post.

New dad Demski.

The block is legal if the pass is caught behind the line of scrimmage (like Hamilton did against us in the 2019 Grey Cup). On Bailey’s block the LOS was the 6 and McCrae caught it on the 5.

Just name them all Saskatchewan. That place is a real hole (a little low hanging fruit for Noeller this morning).

Matt Duigan also threw 7 in game as an Argo at Winnipeg July 20/90 as part of a record 13 turnovers total by Toronto. BTW the single game record for one team is 8. Not sure if anyone else had an interception that game, which occurred Sept. 9/90 at home to Hamilton. Bombers had a CFL record 48 interceptions that season.

Hope you enjoy buying tickets for a non-playoff team for the next three or four seasons.

But what if Mike O’Shea helped hold them down for Holm. This explains your motivation on both counts!

We’d better rein in these puns

Do you want to do something about that horn couple next year? I’m holding you personally responsible if I hear that goose convention again, lol.

Were you?

I guess next we should sue all the 9/11 first responders who called a mayday evacuation and got out before the towers collapsed, rather than continuing to climb up the stairs.

That is hilarious!!!!! ”Do you think the league rigged the draft for Chicago?” “No” “You seem pretty confident” [looks at camera] “Very confident”

Edmonton has lost 7 straight going back to last year, Ottawa 5. Edmonton has a 19 game home losing streak, Ottawa stands at 13 straight losses at home, and 24 of their last 25 (their lone win was against Edmonton in October 2021). May want to pick the road team here, and if the over/under is 0.0 points, bet the under.

So lock of the week is essentially down to two games then? And 3 of those 4 teams are the best defences by scoring average (this season). Maybe I should pick a defensive player for a pick-6 as my choice.

Fake news. No starting pitcher stays in for 9 innings anymore.

This point exactly. Against BC he had a couple of chances at jump balls that I recall thinking he played it improperly. On one he jumped up but tried to cradle the ball in the bread basket rather than stretching and high pointing the ball with arms extended. Gave up a good 3 to 4 feet of height advantage and the DB was able to break it up despite being noticeably shorter. On the second he tried to keep running and go over the top of the defender he was behind on an under thrown ball (Schoen did this too at one point), while BC’s receivers who got behind the defence deliberately slammed on the brakes on under thrown balls and allowed the Bomber defenders in chase mode to catch up and run into them, drawing 2 PI flags on the opening drive. Given how the refs were flagging the PI, the Bomber receivers would have been better trying to draw the PI rather than competing for bread basket catches on 50/50 balls. I say this merely as a viewer and not a receiver or coach. Is this a flawed analysis?

O’Shea was only close to being fired in the eyes of certain impatient fans. The powers that be had faith in him. They were rewarded, and again showed why clubs should not make decisions based solely on fan emotion on a message board. And we’ll agree to disagree on “repeatedly making bad rosters”. I see 6 straight 10+ win seasons, 3 straight Grey Cup appearances, 2 wins, two straight home West finals, and the best regular season won-loss record in the 93 year club history last season. Don’t usually see bad rosters pull off that.
