Fatty Liver

From Jeff Hamilton: Matt Nichols wasn't at practice Friday so he could be there for the birth of his baby girl Parker. #wfp I would have named her Shiny Nichols or Woody if she had been a he.....opportunity lost.

Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB NO Matt Nichols on Bomber practice field!!??? Resting, relapse? The intrigue continues. I still expect him to play Sunday. This has gone well past strategic announcements and gamesmanship, Nichols is going to be worth half a Nichol if he plays at all on Sun.

That's just science, one discovery supersedes, enhances or replaces the last discovery, and it's a never ending process.

Both O'Shea and Hall deny that their D scheme is "bend but don't break" and they've denied it several times over the past two years. Sheesh.

They have their post-game show archived but not the pre-game. http://www.tsn.ca/radio/winnipeg-1290/blue-bomber-game-day-1.96495

Go back to pre-season against the Esks., Davis threw the ball about 60 yds. in the air on a completion to Washington.

Season 2 was great, didn't like season 3 as much as the first two but still worth watching.

I honestly prefer Lankford over Washington, he's been great on those jet-sweeps and he can run down any returner in the league when he plays ST. I also think he's a better kick returner than Givens, but won't admit it publicly.

Harris was running rampant once he got to their second level.

Worse yet, Messam did not seem to adjust his footwear for the second half.

You to!

Hmmmm......satellite imagery tracks back to one "Nasty Chris Jones".

Is this one of those photos taken from outer-space?

Sure, and what happens to the team when they run out of money, hold a telethon and beg? For owner's like Braley and Wetenhall owning a CFL franchise is not a good investment of their funds as they they could easily create better returns elsewhere and are probably losing money running these teams in the current market. They like football and they like owning CFL teams and supporting the league and their communities, don't take their generosity for granted as it is currently essential to the stability of the league.

Are you a real mailman or just a clever stalker?

Nightmare scenario. If Bond is not ready to go Neufeld will be facing off against Sewell frequently on Sun., if he goes down they have to bring in Couture to fill his boots and Almondo is going to eat him like Christmas dinner. With Nichols less than 100% this could be fatal to post-season plans, it might be wise to dress Foketi as a backup for this game and flip Hardrick to LG if need be, sacrificing Washington for Coates or JFG. In the end unless there is another possibility only two of Bond, Nevis or Poop is likely to dress. Why they couldn't sit Knox.... I DON'T KNOW.

Wetenhall literally owns the ball and without him the CFL has no team in Quebec, it's his folly and he can do whatever he sees fit. The CFL has other problems that are more pressing, if you want to dictate how the Als. are run, step up with your own $$ and buy him out.

Not by a long-shot, you want to rain down on an owner that puts up his own cash to support CFL football in Mtl.? In favour of what, pray tell?

Rushing 3 sure didn't work well for the Riders as the Edm. O-line is huge and fairly good at protection one on one. Bombers had 0 sacks on Reilly the first game and only 2 the second and they still beat him, having Wild back in the lineup should certainly help add pressure.

It's been all down hill since the Mafia discovered he wasn't really Italian.

Need to play JFG from here on in, not sure if he's been injured or what but he's a great secondary outlet when nobody else is open.

The last Bomber victory against the Esks. was an impressive performance seeing as a lot of their injured players had returned, D shut down Reilly in the first half completely and held him to 31/46 on the night. O responded each time the Esks. scored in the second half and Chris Randle sealed the victory with a timely pick off. Edm. has had trouble containing the Harris/Flanders combo. this season so hopefully that trend continues.

Win the G.C. this year or not, it appears the team has pulled itself up to the next level and can consistently post 12 win seasons and play competitive, entertaining football against any team in the league. If they can repeat that performance next season and make it three in a row in the top echelon I'll be satisfied with their progress. The playoffs often come down to a crap shoot of weather conditions, injuries and teams getting hot at the right time, but as long as they're in the mix every year, you can't ask for much more. Any one of Wpg., Edm. Cgy or T.O. has a reasonable chance to win the G.C. this year if they are capable of playing their best.

One did, apparently there was a shootout and he may have fatally wounded the suspect. Details to come. No laws were put in motion after the Las Vegas shooting to cut down on assault rifles, so this is just business as usual and will be quickly forgotten in the Land of the Free.

I'm convinced Wally is going to follow through on his retirement plans this year, he made public comments a few times recently that the players in that locker room are not focused on the task at hand nor buying into the team concept. Time to throw up his hands and walk away into the sunset and leave the rebuilding to somebody else.
