Wpg. has hordes of football fans in waiting that will swarm back to IGF once they field a competitive team, a GC victory would be nice but it isn't critical to the survival of the franchise. Fans just want to enjoy the experience and winning is the key to that enjoyment. Not worried about their demise in the least.

I am a huge Khari fanboy. To me the pluses are: former CFL QB, success working with Durant/Willy/Jennings/Lulay, worked with a great OC is Cortez. The negatives are: only an average offense in Hamilton as OC, worked as an OC under Marcel. Yea i like the idea but just not as much as others.. I do think he is cerebral enough and aware of what an offense is needed to be nowadays but hes definitely a gamble. i would like to know who Khari would bring along to deal with the O-line coaching as I believe he would need strong support in that department. As we all know too well, if the O-line performance is not drastically improved it won't matter much who the new OC is as he will be doomed to failure.

just hope that the list of candidates is extensive and that they do their homework this time around.

So what are you saying? That those Muslim men didn't attack those gay people? I never understand why people attack the source rather than the content, other than because they have no other argument. What I'm saying is that highlighting these murders for their particular motivation is pointless when they are floating in a vast sea of murders that have equally inexcusable motivations. As for attacking the source, the agenda of the presenter has to be taken into consideration when vetting their message.

LOL. Oh boy. Did you ever stop and think that the reason this attack on gay people is "statistically insignificant" is because rarely are they even reported, and if they are, there is no mention that the motivation was religious-based hatred? (Islam being the religion). Ok, here we go. - See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2015/05/video-muslim-attacks-gay-couple-in-ny-restaurant.html/#sthash.nVwD1i9I.dpuf Pamela Geller? Really??? This is the woman who organized the “Draw Muhammad” cartoon contest in Texas and then took no responsibility for the carnage that predictably ensued. She is currently attempting to organize similar events but probably can not find a venue or community willing to host them. You're more credible referencing Ezra and his "shiny pony" rhetoric than referencing her.

All I’ve heard for three years is how no one wants to sit in minus-30 conditions for playoff games in CGY. Fair. I guess plus-10, too. — Scott Mitchell (@SUNMitchell) November 16, 2015 When the marquee franchise can't get 35k or so to a semi final their is something wrong Look back over the past couple decades and see how attendance was for semi-finals in both conferences. 26 is probably right around the median, maybe slightly above. For back-to back semis in 2002 and 2003, the Bombers drew 22,000 - 23,000. For the 2007 semi-final Bombers drew 23,000. BC, Edmonton and Calgary have never been know to draw great crowds for semi-finals either. Sasky was 3000 short of a sellout in 2013 for the semi. Seems like a reasonably fixable problem for the spiffy new commish. to solve...seriously. Makes no sense that attendance drops off for playoff games. To start with don't crank playoff ticket prices up above regular season prices and start the season 2-4 weeks earlier to keep the fair-weather fans interested. They didn't crank ticket prices up in Calgary though. Tonnes of $35 - $45 tickets available too which is the same price those seats sell for in the regular season. If teams choose not to sell playoff games as part of their regular season packages, which I believe Calgary does not do, then it will be tough to sell 35,000 individual tickets for semi-final games. The best the league will do is move the season up one more week so the first week of the regular season does not overlap with the final week of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Another factor is the draft. The league will not move the season up any earlier than mid-June (late-May for training camp) due to the NFL and CFL draft. People need to accept this. If by some crazy chance we see a 10th team in the CFL, the Grey Cup will happen an additional week earlier in mid-November. Here's hoping... Calgary isn't as rock solid in their attendance as people want to believe. Too many NFL only douchebags in this town who don't give a **** about the CFL. Too many economic migrants that have no past connection to the Stamps or Calgary in general who just want to jump on the flashiest party train, basically soulless zombies attracted to bright, shiny objects.

I like you guys. I really do. But honestly, the naivete on this subject is really telling. Just because our media doesn't have the balls to report on it, doesn't mean that it isn't happening. Hell, even when it's plain to everyone that the cause of a terrorist attack is "Islamic militants", they still refuse to use those words. Our media is trapped in fear, fear of retribution from the people Bill Maher talked about in that Youtube video I posted from our politically correct establishment (see some who even post here, using words like xenophobia and racist etc to shout down discussion), and fear of being attacked and killed like Charlie Hebdo. They can't win. That's an example of one persons actions and statistically insignificant but it does not predicate that if Canada brought in 25,000 refugees the gay population would be in any greater danger then they currently live with. Unless an organized group executed a successful attack on a gay pride parade, the numbers would remain statistically insignificant. Imo murder is murder and hate is hate, is it any different if individual murder is committed within a family as is so often the case or driven by ideological hate of a specific colour, race, religion or sexual orientation? I would like nothing more then to see murder eliminated but the logical place to start is with government sanctioned murder. If governments neither financed (through tax $), bombed nor supplied competing populations with military grade weapons and technologies most of these geo-political problems would be reduced to skirmishes in the desert. No way in hell they would ever do that though as it would greatly reduce arms sales.

So what's the difference between their views on homosexuality and the "Christian right", who are already embedded in N.A.??? Neither group is stupid enough to openly attack gays.

Brady's contract runs out at the end of the year, so he is free to leave if he chooses to go for another opportunity. What's wrong his current situation I suppose is that he's under Milanovich's shadow. Brady has been play calling this season and bits of last season as well (called the Argos first game last season then took a backseat to Milo), from my understanding Milanovich can and does override the calls, especially if the offense is struggling or slow out of the gate. This season Milanovich has given more leeway to Brady though, due to Milanovich involving himself more in the other two phases of the game. The offensive game planning is still a collective effort (Himebauch also has some say), but it's still the Milanovich show in TO. Sounds like Brady has enough valid reasons to leave T.O. I'll jump on that boat. With all the fixes coming the Argos way next year I'd bet they still average well under 20,000 in attendance, as it could take them many years to fix the mess.

No, I just don't paint entire groups of people with the same brush or justify treating entire groups of people differently because of certain individuals within that group. Well, terrorists & criminals are within that group you say we're painting so you can rage on. You can't change that. Most Canadians aren't against refugees coming here if they are screened properly so the criminal element aren't allowed in. Not just having the borders flung open so any Syrian refugee can come in. I'm sure this attack will heighten refugee scrutiny but they can't punish all refugees for the crimes of a few.

Wasn't he the propaganda minister for Adolf Hamster?

That is only an Assumption. This is a fan forum, and while some may have more knowledge then others. No one here really knows what goes on during meetings etc etc. If O'Shea was aware of these problems and still sat on his hands that long, does that make his status better or worse? Assuming he did nothing while seeing the issues that would obviously make his status worse. But again, there is no way of knowing either way. I'm hoping in his third year that O'Shea finally realizes that the hands off approach to any phase of this team does not work and that his coordinators are representing his best efforts. If the the individual coordinators are not achieving the desired goals he needs to get in there like a dirty shirt to correct the deficiencies asap. If it's personnel, he needs to honk Walters horn. If it's something in the scheme he sees that isn't work he needs to work with or over-ride the coordinator to get it on track. Can't imagine Huf. calmly watching one phase of his team lose games week after week without taking prompt action to correct it. In the case of MB, if Buck or Howell or Wylie had contributions to make they should have been implemented and tried whether MB liked them or not. No excuse to trudge through a full season watching bad reruns of the same ole **** show week after week.

..... what? The offense was by far the biggest sore spot on the team and you don't think the OC should have been taking the fall? Come on now Iso, I know you want to fire everyone and blow it all up but the offensive coordinator wasn't a fall guy on this team, he was a guy needing to be fired. We know O'Shea is a good coach because the STs got a lot better when he got more involved and we know players have said they came here because of him. Why fire a guy like that when he has been hampered by a shitty offense for which he fired his offensive coordinator? You need to give people chances to rebound or improve but you seem hell bent on firing people for the first mistakes which doesn't work in the long run. I count at least TWO mistakes. 2014 2015

The gf and I have been doing that kind of collecting and decorating our house with a lot of it. She loves collecting growlers from different places and other signage. 17to85 says we're immature and the house looks like a frat but we enjoy it! *waves at dave* Yer lucky the GF puts up with it now but once she starts thinking about kids her "taste" will change, guaranteed.

Area 51 is still promoting that Westerman is a bust over on the Rider Forum.
-
Westerman will get short-shifted imo. If you look at his total numbers, sacks, tackles, tackles for losses and hurries he put up total numbers that are rarely seen by a D lineman in one season.

One things for certain, we're living in the golden age of Canadian beer, there has never been so much choice. Hard to believe 25 years ago Canadians were basically restricted to the products of 2-3 breweries. Harder to believe now, every time I get in line to pay for beer invariably the guys in front and behind me have cases of Bud. On a scale of good beer, Bud has always fallen into the piss-poor strata. Goes to show the power of marketing overwhelms the power to think with one's brain.

Dominique Davis Named Starting QB vs Argos

.What is a runners physique? Has legs... is capable of moving them... Best if there are two and they are of equal length. -
Leggett thinks we need to get tougher meaner
Fatty Liver replied to Jpan85's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Sad that the Bombers wasted a good chunk of the season playing Lin J Shell at safety, he stole reps. from players with a future who could have provided flexibility to the ratio. They continually choose vet. place-markers over developing new talent, Romby and Kuale in 2014, Shell and Peach in 2015. -
Westerman & Adams named West All-Stars
Fatty Liver replied to bigg jay's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Just wait for the day the RB's cut him, Jovon will run that organization down too. It's just his style. -
Miller won't do that with MOS. He'll earn every penny win or lose. I can't imagine the pressure that poor guy will be under next season. Ever worked at a job where you know that your firing is an inevitability? I have & it's a terrible situation. Except his firing isn't inevitable. Seems to be the tiny detail missing from your theory. He wins, he stays. So what record will O'Shea have to achieve next year to earn another contract? 9-9? 10-8? Surely it must be better then .500.
