Fatty Liver

Very hard to cut the Peach, team leader and one of O'Shea's favourite sons, plus his motor runs on nitro.

Sunseri has been evaluated and cut.

Curious, did you notice him exhibiting this?

Our thirst for blood is unquenchable.

Problem is unlike Willy and Brohm, Marve isn't naturally a pocket QB so he has a bigger learning curve to overcome to fit into Marcel's scheme. I'm not sure it is in the best interest of the Bombers or Marve to try to convert him to this role as I prefer the flexibility he offers with his motion when the need arises to use him. Watching the beat down cement foot Sunseri took from the Esks. last night (5 sacks) indicates how vulnerable a pocket passer can be against certain D schemes. Brett Smith who played prior to Sunseri was able to scramble to avoid the rush, looked good and was not sacked even once. Even with an improved O-line whoever the Bombers play has to be able to evacuate the pocket in order to succeed against a team pinning it's ears back to kill the QB. They will not survive the game otherwise. Hopefully Willy can adapt as the Bombers play the Esks. in week five and it could get ugly.

They did the same thing last year.

No but he was wearing a bright yellow hat with the rest of his "outfit". Then some guy went up to him and said "hey Paul" like he wanted to talk to him. Wicek just kept walking like he was some big celebrity who's too good for the average Joe. I stand corrected, even Don Knotts wouldn't stoop to wearing a bright yellow hat.

That was in reference to Michael Sam. Chad Remple was at the doctor today. Thank you and thank God!

Bauming tweeted Chad Rempel was MIA. In response to a question about that he tweeted "He left the team. Unknown if he'll return." Uh oh.

Obviously Wicek is going for the Don Knotts at the race track look.

Goltz only played the last 6 minutes but he engineered the winning TD and made a nice play for the 2 pt. so good on him. Chad Simpson looked decent as well, running hard as usual.

Sunseri just lost his job for #3 to Brett Smith, I believe Tino is done.

I think Johnny Adams has made the team so I would expect one of Bucknor, Bruce Johnson or Unamba could be cut from last years squad.

-10 and with the wind chill it ranged from -17 to -19 Apparently I'm a pansy Preferable to being a weather nerd!

Online link to the Als game is on the front page of TSN.ca website. I'm Stateside and TSN video won't play down here. The second game is on ESPN3 though so it'll be a good night. I'm more or less in the same boat as I'm basically off-grid. Would recommend keeping your eye on the following site for game day threads until a few reliable streaming sites are established. http://www.reddit.com/r/CFL/

Can't really blame him, he has to make hay while the sun shines in any way that he can. In a short time the spot light will move on, likely never to return. Sam is already on the outskirts of a football career, hope he picked up some book learnin' along the way.

Speaking of Suber, whatever happened to the other mighty midget Marty Markett?

Let's hope he can continue this in game action when the danger level is raised.

The drop off in attendance is also exacerbated by televised games and having the option of watching the game from the comfort of the living room instead of freezing your ass off.

I noticed that too, maybe TSN told Rod to tone down "The Rod".

Dirty bugger!

He's just another player, no different than the multitude of others that will be cut in the next few weeks. Too much attention has been directed his way already.

Yup. Looks like Cronk will be the long snapper Rempel is still here. We shall see. Nothing to see, surprised Cronk is still here. What added value does he bring other than backup L.S.? I am honestly not sure but I don't see Rempel bringing a lot to the table outside of long snapper either. Cronk is 27, Rempel is 33. If Cronk can do the job well you gotta think age would be on his side. I think it's a given that they brought Remple in to start. I honestly don't want to see him involved in any other activity that could injure him including riding in a car.

Glad this conversation has received it's "official" start, there will be complications like the draft but I believe the benefits outweigh the negatives and I expect the CFL to implement the earlier start within a few seasons. League wide, colder weather equates to large number of no-shows and poor walk-ups which hurts concession and merchandise sales.

Calgary Stampeders President Gordon Norrie made the following statement. “There’s actual traction at the league level,” Norrie said this week. “It’s pretty much unanimous amongst the teams. We’re working with a couple of our partners that also have a stake in it, namely TSN, so it’s still very much at the top of the priorities of all the teams. “For the most part right now, the topic is ending the season sooner. Once we get everybody involved that has an issue or has a stake in it, then we’ll start to work out the details.” While the players are fine with earning a paycheque in any type of weather, the changes are being looked at with the fans in mind.
