  1. ...and in the distance the original Polo Park which was replaced by the mall in 1959.
  2. Bunk, no beds in flophouses.
  3. I believe Wally owes them some payback, hope he gets poached.
  4. No problem, as long as Simonese is comparable to the best 2 import receivers they can field. I see Petermann as Dressler's best replacement and Wolitarsky fitting in wherever needed, slot or WR.
  5. Mostly from what he has shown this season, which isn't much. Admittedly I have not seen a lot of footage of him in other locations, so I could be wrong. Bird in the hand scenario, I'm happy with the 3 Natl. receivers that have produced and shown more promise and don't see room for 4. Long list of Natl. receivers across the league that never evolve beyond promise (Bailey, Chambers, etc.) also influences my opinion.
  6. Not sure what you see in Simonise but I don't see him panning out, he's all arms and legs (Aaron Kelly) and doesn't seem to have the physical presence needed to be effective in today's game. I could be wrong but I'd hold onto Petermann, Wolitarsky and Demski and pair them up with the best two imports they can find, as long as LaPo is running the show. Forgotten man is Matt Coates who will probably catch on with another team once healthy.
  7. What I really like about this year's game plan is they rarely abandon the run-game, that can make the O look very conservative but for the most part it pays dividends.
  8. The TEAM wins 31-0 and you come out the other end worrying about Nichols' individual stats??? Credit must be given to the efficiency the Bombers used to dispose of the Riders, all 3 phases played very well, not a lot of mistakes were made. Next game is next game and different circumstances will be at play but if Nichols and crew perform with the same efficiency they will most likely win, no matter who the opponent.
  9. Isn't Solly being paid around $225k? It seems well out of line for an import, but I think Bighill will be looking for his biggest CFL payday ever and may be aiming to earn in the same ballpark.
  10. I thought Gray played Tackle? Either way he's not stepping in and replacing Neufeld this season.
  11. I'm pretty sure that strut was aimed at Willy Jefferson and was intentionally mocking his strut from the B.B. debacle. As I understand it they are actually friends from their time together in Edm., so none of this should be taken very seriously. It was good to see Nichols shed his bout of mid-season gloom.
  12. Highly recommend Snowfall if anyone likes watching TV series about the drug trade like Narcos or The Wire. It's a drama based on the crack epidemic that occurred in L.A. in the early 80's and even has a tie in to the C.I.A. Iran-Contra affair during the Reagan years.
  13. How about a free kick in the nutsack from Justin Medlock?
  14. You're left with a big pile of horseshit laying all over the field???
  15. Both newly acquired Blake and Lavoie will be playing for the Riders this weekend according to Jones.
  16. Nothing screams "yokel" quite as much as a dork waltzing along a tropical beach wearing an ugly green Riders jersey and flip-flops. I've seen them but hang my head in shame, it's absolutely embarrassing to consider they're our neighbours.
  17. A very good example of this was in O.T. vs. Ottawa. Nichols made use of Harris to run the ball and threw high percentage passes to march the ball down the field, never putting the ball in jeopardy. On the other hand Trevor Harris relied heavily on his ability to throw to small windows and his receivers to come up with great catches. On many of these receptions the D.B. was right in the receivers hip pocket and had a chance to make a play on the ball. I think it's obvious which is the smarter approach.
  18. Funny thing is Collaros will probably ask for more next season and Jones will have to pay him after looking around the league and concluding there really isn't any other viable starting QB's to be had. I seriously doubt any of the current starters make it to F.A. when it comes right down to the crunch, no teams want to be caught short at QB.
  19. I'm still waiting for them to send Thompkins deep, he made some nice plays on the ball in pre-season.
  20. A lot easier to do if you're working 9-5 with weekends off but that's not always the case, some careers demand more and you have to cut out all extraneous activities in order to succeed. Kind of like becoming a football player. 😀
  21. Washington has done this before, can't seem to stay off twitter.
  22. Sending out only 3 receivers doesn't help when none of them can get open. Their O scheme is based on outstanding receivers making outstanding catches, shut that down or pressure Reilly and they're almost as toothless as Sask.
  23. Both Solly and Lulay expected back shortly. The BC Lions could have linebacker Solomon Elimimian and quarterback Travis Lulay back from injury this week, in time for their next game against the division-leading Calgary Stampeders. According to TSN's Farhan Lalji, Elimimian will get final imaging and hopefull clearance to play on Tuesday, while Lulay is also optimistic about being able to play next week.
