Week 16 CFL - Mon. - Tor.@ Mont. (Sask. 15 - Hamilton 30)
Fatty Liver replied to Mr Dee's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Argo's just lost another home game. This time they're headed to Hamilton. This nightmare can't end soon enough for the Argos and the CFL. I hope they institute a permanent ban on any Rogers involvement with the CFL for all of eternity. -
you see how well longo worked out? top notch interior guys are not avail this late in season.. you get jersey fillers now. even 5 weeks ago it would have been a trial simply due to how much effort goes into building that cohesivesness an oline needs.. Longo ends up back on the PR and Neufeld is expected back for BC. Selvish goes back to LG and Goosen sits again? Not sure how they fared individually last game with the shuffle but they didn't give up any sacks in the second half. Statistically, we didn't gave up a sack last game. You're right, but you would have a hard time convincing Nichols that was the case. I believe he got "planted" at least 4 times.

Harper riding on the coat tails of a balanced budget seems disingenuous at best as it took him 8 years and some backwards somersaults to achieve that mark for the first time in his reign and during that time he ran record setting deficits. Doesn't matter who is elected, I don't believe a balanced budget is in the cards for the next couple of years anyway.

In general signing a great player near the end of his playing career is a very bad idea, be it Ray, Owens or Dressler. Better to invest the money saved on salary to find great players at the beginning of their playing careers.

The winners and losers have little to do with the individual countries involved. The TPP like all other free trade agreements before it mainly opens the door to unfettered market access for multi-national corporations. The Mom and Pop dairy farm (which we like) will become a thing of the past for the most part only to be replaced by industrial scale dairy ops (which we hate). Betsy can kiss the sun goodbye for evermore but I for one, can hardly wait to save $2.00 on that swell Chinese ice cream! Unfortunately common sense will never trump the dollar. How? Dairy is going to face at best very muted external competition and they are getting compensated for that handsomely That's in the short-term, they are playing a long-term game with these deals.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/robert-reich-saving-capitalism-tpp-1.3256940 "Contrary to the conventional view of an American economy bubbling with innovative small companies, the reality is quite different," Reich writes. And although we are only beginning to understand the details — mostly because the Trans-Pacific Partnership was negotiated away from the prying eyes of voters — one of the main criticisms of international trade deals like the TPP is that the main beneficiaries are large corporations, not ordinary citizens. "Negotiators worked overtime on terms to please multinational corporations — under close consultation with those same corporations. But there was no consultation with labour or civil society groups," says a release from the Trade Justice Network, a group that opposes the deal. Rigged gameIn left-leaning circles, the conventional view is that creating equality requires redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. Reich says the real problem is something he calls "pre-distribution." By lobbying for laws such as those that make life-saving pharmaceuticals expensive and technological patents unbreakable, large corporations and their teams of lawyers rig the game in their favour long before the issue of redistribution arises. Drug companies are rewarded not for inventing drugs but for extending the exclusivity of existing drugs. (The TPP does exactly that.) Companies like Google, Amazon and Apple capture the value of patents and then are rewarded for "strategic litigation" to prevent anyone else from using them. Because these advantages are constructed into the very fabric of the government and its rules, advocates of the "free market" fail to realize the winners have already been selected by the process of pre-distribution. "The idea of a free market separate and distinct from government has functioned as a useful cover for those who do not want the market mechanism fully exposed,"

Why would Miller do that? His greatest concern is putting bums in seats and generating more revenue and that can only be achieved through more wins. MB and winning are not compatible ingredients.

Thanks a lot, I just caught dyslexia from reading your post!

If you want to review Walkers skills re-watch the Bombers first game against the RB's last season. No doubt that he had the physical talent at that time but as we have seen until recently with Stoudermire sometimes these guys forget how to use it.
-
The way the O is cycling through receivers and RB's without giving them much of a chance to show their stuff does not inspire confidence. I smell desperation on the wind.

Yaaaaa! Finally, we're in play off mode

Mike is finally cranking it up to 11....and just in time. -
Chevon's one and only interview was pretty riveting.

Can't believe Pfeffer is sitting on their PR or that the Argos actually cut him, especially since Waters has re-injured himself. He looked very good earlier in the year. On checking the RB roster Pfeffer is listed on the 6 game IR.

Those are the kinds of trades that appealed to Brendan Taman, which eventually cost him his job.

Lirim might be having a problem with the visualization part of his game.

I think the Bombers have a very good chance of beating BC next weekend. BC put a beat down on the very worst D in the entire league last week, which coincidentally is also how the Bombers earned two of their 4 victories this year. This weekend BC will start a rookie QB against a D that has been steadily improving every game to the point that they are now respectable. If Nichols can continue on the trajectory from his last half performance I can see the Bombers actually winning comfortably.
-
Even if Castillo was bad I would expect him to hit at least 50% of his F.G.'s. Nothing to lose giving him a shot and whatever is ailing Lirim has been ailing him all season but has become terminal lately. Not something that can be turned on and off like a light-switch.
-
If they can afford to dress both Lirim and Castillo for the next game I think that would be a wise decision.

How could anybody have an opinion about the TPP when no details of the negotiations have been released? Anyway, I think the details of this agreement could be the tipping point of this election that breaks up the logjam.

I honestly no longer care about this issue. why should I? Americans think it's fine. so, let them carry on killing each other. saw an amazing stat yesterday about the number of children killed by guns that their parents can't be bothered to lock up properly. In the USA. two days ago USA bombed a doctors without borders hospital in afghanistan and burned a bunch of people to death. They've been bombing that country since October 2001. No kidding, and people wonder why there are so many refugees fleeing countries that are being bombed. Without ground forces and intelligence, bombing is completely unguided and the victims are of no consequence. I'm ashamed that Canada is participating in this activity.
