You're looking for the next Milt? So is every other team. Now if you are referring to Dave "sticky" Stala, well he may be available.

That is an aspect of the coverage that is really noticeable after watching the World Cup. Nice wide camera shots so you can see the entire play develop, I think CBC used those shots a lot more in their football coverage back in the day. TSN really likes to focus on closeups of players sitting on the bench after a big play sweating or spitting or just staring blankly into space.

Looks like Lawless has gotten into his nasty pills again. Here is his article in today's FreeP. I suspect he wrote it months ago and was waiting for the opportunity to dump it on us. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/o-line-a-disaster-area-267614001.html

Apparently Bob Wylie was nowhere to be seen last night. Can someone who attended the game please confirm this? When we got to the game I swear I saw him in the south end zone during warm ups wearing the same white shirt he always does coaching the o line guys. Unless we have another 300+ lb man as a coach? I didn't see him during the game however. I guess he could have been up in the spotters box. Is there elevator access?

Great work! That was more enjoyable than the actual game.

Turner was penalized for an equally ridiculous roughing the passer call.

The entire defence including that guy that lives on the island should be penalized for "tackling with no arms". Correction that should read "attempted tackling with no arms".

It was a hard fall back to Earth for Bomber fans but I'll be happy if they make the playoffs.

I want to see Woods, Leggett, Jarvis Jones, Kelly, Will Ford and Odell Willis back in the Bomber lineup next week.

Yeesh - sounds like Bobby is getting suicidal...if anyone sees him at IGF make sure and give him a hug... Never thought I'd see the day, Bob's actually giving "shout outs" to different groups tonight.

I can't see the CFLPA getting behind this lawsuit if they have any sense of self preservation. They are a "me first" organization that has shown little concern for past or or future members. As this lawsuit could theoretically bankrupt the CFL they would be foolish to jeopardize the careers of their current members for the sake of a few "walking wounded". Could well be that Arland has already tried this route. It would be way cheaper for the CFL to squelch this before it gets a head of steam, settle out of court with Bruce and place a restrictive gag order on his settlement. Every under-employed ex-CFL player on Earth will be lining up to feed at the trough if they don't handle this quickly.

Here is a clip of Mark Cohon on TSN basically standing firm on current CFL policy regarding player health and stating that adequate concussion procedures and deterrents are already in place. Zach Collaros may disagree. http://www.tsn.ca/VideoHub/Default.aspx?collection=109&show=400849&section=Sports

Good points. In the "good old days" teams and trainers would have pushed players back onto the field or the ice with a sniff of smelling salts asap after having their "bell rung" but this was before they fully understood the repercussions of concussions in sport. If the athlete can prove that he was forced into action by the team before he was fully recuperated than he has a case. Athletes also play under economic pressure and the risk of losing their job to a replacement if they don't or can't perform and this is a huge factor in the CFL. It's not always the players fault he often has no other choice but to "suck it up" and get back out there. I think the scientific knowledge of the damage repeated blows to the head causes has been in existence for a long-time as there are references to the term "punch drunk" as far back as the 1930's to describe the condition of retired boxers. It was most likely the business end of sports that delayed tying the two views together for as long as possible. To this day I think the sport of boxing refuses to acknowledge this condition has anything to do with their sport.

That's utter nonsense. If it's not related to the case it can't even be presented the evidence they would be examining is medical not character related. Trying to paint the claimant as "unlikeable" or an "unworthy" human is called prejudicing the jury.

This is the real danger, Arland Bruce by himself doesn't pose that much of a threat because the effects of concussion on him are probably not that apparent but if this does turn into a class action lawsuit, watch out. They won't need Arland to make their case if they have someone like Matt Dunigan on-board or any of the families of CFL players from the past who's lives ended tragically.

I remembering watching a documentary on The Fifth Estate years ago about a handful of Eskimo players from their dynasty years who met with untimely deaths after years of severe depression, Bill Stevenson the big D-Lineman was one of them featured. If this lawsuit gets rolling it could stretch way back. Can't find a video but this article discusses the show. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/dynasty-to-death-cbc-s-fifth-estate-examines-head-injuries-in-football-1.725631 I beleive there is a similar show on YouTube about Chris Benoit the Pro Wrestler who committed murder suicide under similar circumstances.

You could see this lawsuit coming a mile away but don't worry the NFL represented by the world's top legal talent only had to pay out $765 million so for the CFL it's a frivolous matter. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000235494/article/nfl-explayers-agree-to-765m-settlement-in-concussions-suit Don't rule Buck out, if he has any brain cells left he may be jumping aboard this bandwagon lawsuit as their star witness. Quick burn the evidence!

"Cause the CFL is failing to protect it's most valuable assets and young Zach just received a kick to the nutz in the vicinity of his brain.

It really does open up a can of worms. I predict Hail Mary throws will become a regular occurrence this season, flood a small area with receivers and there is bound to be a P.I. call almost every time.

Interesting thought. The actually fundamentals of form tackling are changing to chest plate tackling, safe contact which is going to take some time, some commitment/buy-in and some tweaking before it works itself up to the professional leagues. Getting back to the changes in rules concerning tackling I've seen the NHL implement some pretty drastic rule changes one season to the next and they usually use the "zebras" to carry out their dirty work. The players may b*tch and moan about the changes but within the first 10 games they get the hang of it. Difference is the NHL has 6 months & 84 games to rectify things. The CFL doesn't. I don't understand your point. Both leagues have off-seasons to make rule changes.

Couldn't figure out where they're other DB's went to. Cox is a LB. Even that catch was a miracle coming straight over JFG's head like it did. Next time they try that play I hope they skew the angle of the throw at least 10-20 degrees to reduce the difficulty of the reception.
