Most overused and often times misused word of 2015 imo. But back to the issue at hand. Imo, Glenn is still very appealing from a supporting cast point of view but no where near a starring role that he once was.

I'm wondering if Popp believes bringing Glenn on board will help them get closer to that elite status he felt his team was lacking when he let Higgins go.

Worked though. Would have worked better if the left guard blocked anyone. I honestly don't know how people expect any offensive coordinator to build even an average running game with so many overmatched OL. Capers wasn't getting off the line at all. He looked fine at tackle. Neufeld looks bad everywhere. Routinely getting bullied off the line by guys like Khreem Smith in the run game. Just brutal. How much leeway does Nichols have on calling an audible, not because he noticed something with the defensive formation but because he believes the call is, let's say, inappropriate?

LH was handling kickoffs until that point. I wonder why ST had Castillo do it. It was a thing of beauty. Perfectly placed.

One game lol. Granted a fantastic one game, but still...ONE GAME. May Mike Kelly's quote of a schizophrenic fan base live in infamy. Anyone remember Rob Pikula's game with us when Westwood got hurt? What happened after... Why take anything with a grain of salt lol. Jump in with both feet. Sergio for president/ceo/gm/hc/oc/dc and emporor! Like I'm not trying to be a rooster (the alternative was understandably censored) contrary to what most people may want to believe. If it so happens Castillo turns out to be our kicker for the next 5-7 years, perhaps longer, fantastic. That being said I'm not going to proclaim him to be a kicking savior off of one game. You can make a very, very long list of athletes, football or otherwise that have had one solid game, or one solid debut, and accomplished a whole lot of nothing afterwards. Just a general observation, he seems to have quite the routine that he goes through from the moment he steps on the field, to the moment the ball is kicked. Rather interesting I thought. That's because he's crazy. Most kickers are in some way. This may be a good sign :-) .

I know MOS and others think Brohm gives us the best chance if Nichols goes down but why not give Davis (or anyone else for that matter) some game experience if Nichols can't go, knowing we are sitting at 4 and10 hanging by a thread, a very thin thin thread. In other words, put Brohm out of his misery, put some one on the roster that has, potentially, a future with us and let training camp for some start early. And yes I want to win the next four games, make the playoffs and win the Grey Cup, but remarkably for me, I'm looking at our existing situation realistically and practically for longer term benefits.

Honestly, I think trying to portray Mulcair as warm and fuzzy was a mistake by the NDP strategists. I much prefer the straight-shooter that we saw in QP these past few years. He's at his best when he's talking down to Harper and he only exposed that side briefly during the second debate. Nothing against him personally but when Mulcair smiles it kind of gives me the creeps. That's the problem though, it's easy to look good when you're just attacking Harper, if you want to be PM though you can't just attack Harper. The man is an easy target. Mulcair is just a straight up opportunist and people see that. Rick Mercer always said Canadian voters aren't as dumb as politicians think and when you treat them like they are they don't like it. I think the NDP are learning that with their sunshine and rainbows campaign and it appears that the Conservatives are going to learn it too with their war on terror campaign. Allowing the green party to break threw up the middle for the win. :-)

As you stumble back to your hotel, mumbling and muttering Gawd damn Bombers, wear our colors proud my friend. :-)

The NDP never really stood a chance federally once the momentum left them. Ontario is just not an NDP place. Bob Rae sank their hopes in that province and let's be honest, if you don't do well in Ontario you won't have much of a chance. I'd also say that Quebec bought the crap Jack Layton was selling last time and Mulcair is just so unappealing as a potential prime minister that they were bound to fail. Trudeau may just be a hair piece, but he's a face and that's all the Liberal party is using him as. The machine behind him has run a good campaign while the NDP tried to walk both sides of the line and never convince either side and the Conservatives spent the whole time saying "vote for us or the terrorists will get you!" It's quite frankly insulting and they deserve to lose for that alone. I'd tend to agree with you on this, with some reasons being valid and other reasons not so much, but the outcome being the same.

orange wave good-bye. Orange crush has turned into orange crash. Oh yeah, by the way, I really think the NDP is pile of smoking dog turds. Shocking :-)

Yes there are good and bad people and there are good and bad police officers. Yes I can see the validity with body cameras, absolutely. It's another story with Jane and John Doe filming though. It would make me very nervous to want to be a police officer nowadays or for that matter any profession where your job requires you to engage with people in public environments. The things that people (like people who hate the police no matter what) can do to fool people with videos/technology (e.g., no context) with an instantly judgmental society (not everyone I'm saying) is often times a recipe for disaster. Ultimately and thankfully in this day in age the truth usually comes out that correctly shows what happened. Unfortunately for some (Private citizen and/or law enforcement professional) the damage as already been done.

Nope. Mario could have been but wasn't. Can't label a player most special player based on what-if arguments. Hmmm...how about he was the most awe-inspiring player of all time (or at least his generation). Just ridiculous talent. Keep trying, Gretzky claimed that one as well, regardless of generation. :-) Not to me, he didnt. Fair enough, I can't give you a hard time on this, we all have our favorites. I once tried, with my Winnipeg Jet Bias in full use, to argue with some Oiler fans that my all time favorite Jet, Thomas Steen, was a better passer/playmaker in traffic than Gretzky. I didn't get any takers.

Not to mention the fact that both Gretzky and Lemieux made players around them better. I probably would have scored thirty myself if I had these guys banking it off head.

relentless logic and not allowing people to get out of erroneous claims? Yeah it does tend to win debates. Two terms that are sometimes overused and misinterpreted to make a point. We are all guilty of it, some more than others.

I absolutely hated that call, I'd hate it even if it was our QB . We talk about protecting the QB's, which is good, but now we're going to have defensive players not playing full speed, which is bad.

If her story is indeed true, I'm wondering if a) Tyler Johnson had a significant other while this happened and if yes is this person aware? My point here is its amazing how many people can be potentially hurt by her sharing this story with the world.

Good one. I'm interested in seeing how our goaltending situation is after 15-20 games.

Umm actually that would be a two tie between Mark Kumpel and Sergie Bautin . . . :-)

Yep some people are ignoring those things...probably because they have absolutely no bearing on this conversation. You can't apply generalities across the board as if they are absolutes. You judge MOS solely on his body of work, and with the facts you have, if you are the Bombers....certainly not on historical data. If we ignore history, we're doomed to repeat it. If you ignore context, you're doomed to sound like an idiot. Yup... let's ignore history because context (excuses) are so much more reliable. #haha As long as we want to remember history, let's do that by all means. I'm looking at our history of cleaning house every couple of years. Seems to me that we haven't done so well doing that, but by all means, let's do it again because 5th-or-6th-or7th time's the charm, right? The main debate, if we're all playing the role of GM, is how much patience do you show for your head coach before it's time to change? Obviously subjective and full of varying influences. But is there some general number that can be used as as a marker? Or is it strictly scenario by scenario that you can't put a number on? For myself, I think you give MOS one year with an option (can you do that with a head coach - option?) to demonstrate we're heading in the right direction, i.e., is in the running to win it all. You'll never attract a top quality head football coach with such a short contract. I understand what you're saying, but controlling for whether you think MOS is top quality or not, are you suggesting MOS would walk if this was offered?

Yup. Just a thought but as the Eskimos are heading into the post season, I have a feeling they may pick him up as insurance as they seem a little light on their tailbacks. Then release him once their season is over.

I'll take Toronto by 14. Get the broom out.

I didn't realize a) Bucknor can play safety better than he can at corner and Veltung knows how to play corner when matched against an experienced CFL Wide Receiver.
