  1. Drinking and driving.....with the horrendous consequences I don't see why people still do it.....Chances are they're going to get nailed and rightly so.....While I was reading Speedflex's account of his family's nightmare with drink, it brought back a memory I can never forget....My dad suffered from PTSD afer the war and his choice for an anesthetic was alcohol...We owned a Fargo panel truck in the fifties with an old davenport couch set up in the back for all of the kids...I remember going down Main street about 80 miles an hour....through red lights with my dad drunk at the wheel....My pregnant mother was sitting beside him and all of us kids were in the back...My mom was pleading for him to stop or at least slow down but to no avail...I just watched the traffic barely missing us as we went through intersections...Finally something must have gone through my dads clouded mind that this was a disaster in the making and he drove us home...He continued on and went off to McPhillips and finally the highway where he flipped the truck into a waterfilled ditch where the mounties found him with a broken neck and his nose just above the water line....How he survived is beyond me but things could have been much worse had he not dropped us all off....Drinking and driving should never be an option for anyone and if you do it ....the consequences can be a disastrous life altering event....Don't do it
  2. Faj can only be accurate with long throws if he's trying to hit crossbars.....The Duke will lose his title if he hangs around there long enough
  3. Hard to pick just three guys in a total team effort.....Woli....Lawler stood out....Zack for his pin point passing....Have to mention Mourtada.....I thought the guy was going to be on a bus trip outta here after his first game but he seems to have found his mojo.....Now IF he can put a couple of long one's through the uprights ..say a 45'er or a fifty yarder, then I think we may be on to something
  4. Lucky wasn't so lucky....I like the guy and it's a tough break (no pun intended) BUT I'm more concerned with Woli and what looks to be a tear in the leg muscle ...Hope he shakes it off for the next tilt ....he's proving to be an invaluable asset.....The team excelled in every facet of the game ....solid and we are in a very good position heading into the last leg of the season....Hope the injury bug doesn't rear it's ugly head ...I got a little nervous in that one ....Is Mourtada for real?.....looks to be
  5. Bee careful ...they might send you off to see an entomologist
  6. So the up coming dome game should tell us for sure IF we have a competent kicker on our roster...I know we aren't going to see any 55 yarders BUT both Mourtada and Leggs have the leg strength to put it through the uprights from inside the 50....It's the accuracy that seems to have eluded them...They better get it right (no pressure lol) or the hunt will be on for a kicker that can get it done...Like the coaches say ...'see the ball....kick the ball'....lose the yipps or you'll lose your seat on the flight home
  7. when the Stove gets hot....watch out ya can get burnt.....Just Grant me the returner for the next one and we're good to go
  8. Don't know what they gave Reilly on the sideline during their last game against the green guys, but he hobbled off after a run, and then in their next series came out like a 24 yr. old not 34....He was jumping around...looking fresh as all get out....and ran a couple of plays where he took off and picked up decent yardage....I think sometimes he puts on the 'dog' and gives the opposition a false sense of security ...then sneaks in some pretty impressive yardage on a run....Don't know if that's advisable against us as we handle the run game really well....BUT it's best to keep the pressure on this guy most of the time or he'll kill you with his arm...Looking forward to this contest AND I hope we don't come out with a little rust after our bye...
  9. Manufactured.....???really...You actually believe the league operates in a clandestine manner???really
  10. IF we don't straighten this out it sure as heck will come back and bite us......The word is that Grant is ready and likely to return (hope that's the case)...so we should be alright there BUT the kicking game is a work in progress....We better progress in a heluva hurry by the results and look of our last outing
  11. Everything out of Suits mouth in the broadcast was all about how the horned guys should take the Bombers apart with this and that and when the BigBlue we're taking the elks apart he skipped over that briefly....I think this guy really dislikes us........................Harris moved up in the overall CFL rushing dept. last night....Kudos Andrew
  12. Now if we brought Sergio in ...we could get him to kick from the right hash.....get Mourtada to kick from the left hash ... and let Leggs take car of the middle.............................then place another call to Meds.
  13. Isn't Hajrullahu still available????....Maybe wants too much coin, in any event, or I think we would've brought him in....Wyman said that we gave Medlock a ring (besides the Cup one) and he apparently said I'm busy so not right now...Sounds like he might have left the door open
  14. GEEZ'''''what the hell is wrong with our kickers.....did Meds. hex the position, leaving what seems an impossible task to replace him...IF I see one more makeable field goal go wide from inside the 40, I think we have to call Meds. or call for some meds....Just brutal
  15. Demski........that bulldozing run he made into the end zone....fantastic The two little DB'S....Alford and Nichols....they're giving notice.....don't throw in my area Jefferson/Bighill.......fearsome twosome on D......Biggie is having one heckuva year Honourable mention to Adams and Zac....MOP not out of the question and he just keeps getting it done
  16. Geez I miss this guy.....not as a former Argo owner but as a comic and his style of comedy....Not enough John Candy's around anymore
  17. which brings us to....'what is the dif. between an arse kisser and a brown noser.....answer ..'depth perception'.....I know I know....that would be a verbal cheap shot lol
  18. Thanks for the clips on Mourtada....impressive .... hope his know how will rub off a little on Leggs
  19. Can't quite pick up our player's name on his jersey after that 'sucker punch' by Johnson...Think it's time to be like Gordie Howe did back in the day....take a players number and 'ask a few questions' on their next meeting..What a cheap shot by a chap shot artist
  20. Has anyone got a clip of Mourtada place kicking ....or any film on him period????
  21. Dickenson playing a little reverse psychology ....sometimes that works.....sometimes it can blow up in your face....I like coaches who are straight up but denigrating your own squad would be bottom of my list ...It might give some players an inferiority/ insecurity complex
  22. Suitor is a rider hack.....It's so obvious and he slips up from time to time in the broadcast exposing his bias....I think he still thinks he's a rider db .....Message to Suits.....get off of the rider wagon and maybe consider giving the homer telecasts a miss.....your rider underwear is showing
  23. After watching that film bit....I really think he might have been the best back we ever had....No taking anything away from our present guy Andrew...but pound for pound he has to be ranked close to the best this league has ever seen.....How soon we forget ....but watching Charlie cut it up field and making the opposition look silly, just brought back all of those thrilling moments he gave us
  24. You're only miffed at Charlie cuz he made Glenn reach for that ball, Roberts let slip out of his grasp, and the T.O. player jumped on it and Glenn's arm.... and we know the rest ...Probably cost us the Cup BUT I've thought about that play for a very long time, and I'm willing to cut Blink a little slack...Glenn was also part of that muffed play ...bad result for both of them and the Bomber faithful ...We were so close and 'boom' ...it was gone...A lot of us were down on Charlie at the time....and I was one of them ... However time gives us a dif. look, I find
  25. Leo Lewis ....Roberts......Harris.........some of the best talent ever to wear BluenGold and we've had some good ones.....Don't know why Roberts ended up the way he did...He sure gave us a 100 percent on the field ....lot of thrills ....His private life...not so thrilling...Though not football, Derek Sanderson (NHL) reminded me a lot of Blink....All the talent in the world and ended up essentially 'bums'
