Nice gesture on the Bombers part to wear that young man's initials on their helmets. Well done. Shout out to our line that continues to give Nichols the necessary steamboats for certain plays to work. A lot of Nichols success is due to that line of his. I hope he is treating them well.

A suspension and fine imo is an appropriate consequence for his actions. I say 3 games plus maximum fine. That might expedite his idea of altering his tackling technique.

A suspension is a public flogging?

On TSN, he states he is going to change the way he tackles. Wow. Why was he not suspended? Wouldn't this be a good scenario for the new (er) CFL commish to make a statement?

If that's what happens, I don't see that as ugly if they play to their potential. That combo has the makings to be a pretty decent fourth line.

Thanks for the update. Some would call that move blackmail where others would call that move good business.

I haven't been following this story so maybe this has already happened but is the next move for ownership to say we're pulling the Flames out of Calgary if the City doesn't ante up more?

It matters only in the sense of grading out bubble players and to get the team into game mode for the start of the season.

Now that's funny.

I think you underestimate the qualities needed for a CFL receiver.

Fair enough. How would you suggest the person who submitted the original post read this? I love sarcasm, I think it's one of the funniest humor forms around but I am constantly learning when to use it and when not to and no where near perfect that's for sure. My rule: if I give it out, I need to take it in.

It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it.

Right, we don't deserve, but as a fan we are interested to know. It's a normal human reaction when things happen that doesn't make sense right away.

Great reminder. If one was a betting person, Edmonton is the likely place Thorpe ends up. JC likely heads back to BC if they'll take him.

It looks like Banks doesn't even try. Unbelievably bad PI call to get them to the one with 5 seconds. Unbelievably worse play came up next.

Hmmm. Okay fair enough. But I still like Hughson over Cuthbert. :-)

Predictable response. :-)

Other than us having differing opinions, I guess the only thing that would settle these differing viewpoints is actual evidence. Lots of complexity when it comes to that, because even comparing each of their ratings and viewership can be skewed by a few things, e.g., the importance of the game being played, the time of day the game is being played, what teams are playing etc etc. So I continue to disagree with you based only on my observations.

Knucklehead. He really does come across as someone who thinks he is smart and clever than he actually is.

Again, to each their own. I'm just telling you what I enjoy, color guy or main announcer.

To each their own. Matt Dunigan as a color guy for football and Jim Hughson for hockey are my favorites. Both get me emotionally into the game.

It's not a theory, it's preparing for, executing, evaluating and believing in their short, mid and long term plans. Obviously ownership is comfortable with those plans but not without I'm sure some disagreements. This is where not being privy to those in-depth war room discussions and details only allows us to speculate (which is obviously fun to do as a fan). There is something to be said for job security influencing where one's focus needs to be. Fearing someone into being productive usually doesn't work. Regardless of the extension, Maurice and Chevy will not sit back now and coast, the pressure has and will always be on till the day they are shown the door.

For years I've actually found Cuthbert worse than Suitor and others for both the Bombers and the Jets. Although on his twitter feed he professes to be neutral not cheering for or against any team, he has this subtle undertone of 'ah it's Winnipeg, whatever' feel to his voice.

Respectfully disagree, all facets of our game inflicted wounds throughout the game, some deeper than others but still hurt. This loss can not pinned only on our offense. All three phases of our game takes this loss. That said, we'll clean things up and even this series. I enjoy Carter's not so happy look over his happy look.

Great insight in how not trusting a teammate (s) to do their job can result in very bad decisions.
