Fatty Liver

Asking for trouble going into a game like this without a viable backup to Grigsby imo. Things are not shaping up as well as I'd hoped looks like with all the injuries the Bombers won't be able to field their best lineup.

We can only hope it will be Glen Suitor and not Rod Black gushing on and on and on and on...... To be cautious I'm turning the volume down 3 hours before and 3 hours after the game just in case he's still blabbing on about Westy.

I think it's Max Hall. Good gawd.

And well he should if the reports of the offer were true. Wouldn't help his team much if Dressler ran off at the end of the current season. That's one way of looking at it. However, one could also say Desjardins not in a great position to insist anything. Sign Dressler for the rest of the season and work on getting him signed for the next year and beyond. It's a given that Desjardins is insane but if he offered Dressler $250,000 for the remaining games this year with no commitment to next season he would need to be locked away for the benefit of all.

Good gawd.

I think it will take O'Shea 3-4 more losses until he sees the need for improvement on the D-line, right now he's delusional. D-Line is not a major concern for the Bombers from where I'm sitting. O-line and National depth would be more pressing issues. Thanks. Tell us something we don't already know and haven't discussed ad-nauseum. Going to tell us where the BB are going to pick up some good Natl. O-linemen????

What's Kelsey's? a Saskatchewan fine dining experience Living in Calgary you would know all about mediocre dining experiences. IMHO of course. I've only been out here for a couple of years, but I'm still searching for a really mediocre greasy breakfast joint. All the places close to me are the type of restaurants that charge $12 for eggs and have huge lineups I lived in Calgary for 10 years and that city can't compare to the Wpg. for culinary experiences other than corporate chains and the upper end. Doesn't have 1/10th as many independent burger joints or greasy spoons. Closest I found to a good greasy spoon was the Deerhead Cafe low down on Edmonton Trail in the N.W. and it wasn't great. Husky serves up a mediocre breakfast as well but nothing to compare with the Red Top, Nick's in Headingly or the old Paladin. Did they ever re-build after the fire? Problem with Calgary imo is that it doesn't have any soul.

He's a free agent so no reason other teams shouldn't pursue him, hopefully Walters is making inquiries.

I was thinking Ottawa will go after him if he springs loose but I think they'll get Matthews for a lot less than they offered Dressler, maybe $140,000 to $160,000 depending on how much of a fight the Bombers put up. Matthews has great potential but he doesn't have much of a track record so I doubt he's going to be offered top dollar. If the rumours that the Als are looking to move S.J. Green are true can't see why the ORBs wouldn't go after him. In reality he's a better receiver than Dressler.

well, if we are playing 3 imports on the OL, 1 import must sit... and it could be Cotton... I dont think Anderson, Unamba, Stoudermire, Kuale/Kromah will sit. IMO shouldn't be sitting Sears if he's healthy and they shouldn't be going into the game with out a backup for Grigsby, re: Cotton. Can't quite figure out why they would dress Unamba, other than special teams what does he do? I suspect the RR may play Messam and Allen and try to run the ball down the BB throat, would love to see Kromah and Kuale on the field at the same time to counteract the running attack.

Desjardins might last two years as Ottawa's GM but he's going to leave a hell of a mess in his wake.

Even a collection of all Ritchie's quotes would be priceless.

I've searched high and low for recordings of Dave Ritchie interviews and post game comments and haven't been able to find anything. They were priceless, the guy was a card.

You talking about Cal or Dave Ritchie? Imagine how people would freak if Tim Burke had said that and yet with either of the other two it was cause for a good laugh.

http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/ That sucks. Why would O'Shea remove Kromah when the run D looked so good last week? Cuz if you asked O'shea he would say that Kuale has played well this year. Final answer.

No goodwill for Cal Murphy?

Is he out of football now?

Don't hold your breath on this, every team that misses out on Dressler should be very interested in competing for Matthews as well.

Hard to say for sure. His girlfriend is from Regina so if they are back in Regina I'm sure she wants to be there. Also, the Riders are where he started, who has familiarity and friends with and where he has a tonne of connections already. He definitely won't want to get ripped off but who can blame him? 9 out of 10 CFL players high tail it back to where they came from when they're playing career is over, mostly to be close to family. If Dressler was any kind of College star the business opportunities for him in the N.D. would likely dwarf what could happen for him in Canada especially if he was ever a member of a fraternity. Just look at how far George Bush got in life.

absolutely. you add someone at the level of a Dressler and I'd have no problems calling the Bombers receivers tops in the league. IMO Dressler is over-hyped, over-rated and soon to be over-paid. His biggest season was 2012 when he gained 1,206 yards and most seasons he's right around 1,000 yards. He does not rank with CFL greats such as Steegal, Simon or Allan Pitts. Calling Dressler over rated, and making spelling errors in two out of the three greatest receivers to ever play the game is about all that needs to be said about the above post... Dressler runs fantastic routes, he has deceptive speed, makes catches in traffic, and he runs a tremendous corner route (which Willy happens to LOVE throwing in the endzone). He'd be a great addition to the team. Good catch moderators, you're on the ball!

Checks with judges...yes, this indeed would be considered irony. The proper, non-Alanis Morrisette kind. What are you referring to?

Question is are they clearing the deck for players coming off the injury list or NFL cuts?
