I like Johnny Sears... some of his hits made me nervous... hope he doesn't do that to us...

I immediately just jumped over to riderfans to read the reaction... it's fun

Wait I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... Sask traded away the better player and the better draft pick?? I think someone already summarized this... but they essentially traded 2015 2nd, 2016 2nd, and Kris Bastien for a 2015 3rd, 2016 3rd and Jurgen Hus... Nothing against Hus, but this doesn't seem like good roster management to me... even if Bastien and Hus are a wash, they traded down in both years... confusing

Very happy about this signing...

Wondering is any of the big players from this site will be contributing to that site... by big players, I pretty much mean admins...

Does he have a mental illness? Lazy? Can't commit? I can't comment any further as I really don't know. Just that he doesn't like to be out performed and has a bad attitude when things don't go his way. No idea what the reason is, and of course this is purely speculation. He may have left camp for a serious personal reason, for all I know. Why bother making all these posts regarding his character if it's "purely speculation?"

Not to be confused with Hall of Fame TE Shannon Sharpe... Just wanted to make that correction out of respect to Sharpe...

the team is playing great and Pavelec is making the saves he needs to make... any stats, league average comparison, salary cap hit, and personal bias is completely irrelevant right now... "just [keep] win[ning] baby"... sorry Al, had to adjust to quote a bit...

Interesting story... Is this the guy Mike was talking about a few months back?

So thats what its all about... great if you know you are going to get a call on the play.so in the original clip Sanders is the only one who stays still....and I guess we'll never know if there was a flag for offside, but it doesn't make sense to me why you would remain in your stance. Is there some rule/reason in college ball that says this is the action plan? The only problem with this discipline is it can get your QB killed if the play isn't whistled dead... I guess that's more on the refs though

Doesn't mean he can't try... he's only 27 or 28... a team with injury issues looking for a veteran might be interested...

I've been intrigued by Archambault ever since watching him play vs the Bisons in the Vanier semis... I know he went from unranked to around 15.... I wonder if this weekend's performance will put him in the first round... didn't hear much about how he did in one-on-ones... or how much that even matters for LBs.... anyone know anything else about this kid?

Genetics do not determine athletic or intellectual performance, otherwise we would have a lot of hockey players named Richard, Mahovelich, Gretzky, etc etc and have our scientists all named Einstein, Feynman, Da Vinci and so forth. The only three generations of pro athletes are named Wilson. That Smith gene pool seems to be pumping out a lot of good ones...

The designated import spot has now been replaced by the "wildlife" spot where teams will be allowed to roster either a bear, deer or moose. I would like to see a Moose lined up at DT... good luck stopping that... until they implement the "designated Ford F150 for O-line" rule... then it might be close...

It's funny cuz it isn't just bitter Bomber fans or other CFL fans that are annoyed by this... I was talking to some family/friends recently who aren't even CFL fans and they wondered why saskies need to wear their rider gear everywhere... I guess we don't understand the insecurity of constantly having to remind everyone what team you cheer for...

I'd say the last paragraph of the article sums it up... "If this season unfolds as they hope and he lights up defences while leading the club to the playoffs, they know they'll be held up for ransom by Willy's camp next winter. And that's a big, fat cheque they'd then be more willing to write."

He stands 6'5" and weighs 215 lbs. Could be a FB for the Bombers. He worked out as a receiver and will do the same for the esks He has the athletic pedigree, and if he makes it in the CFL, maybe with the Bombers, it would be the second CFL/NHL brother combo. For a guy who didn't play any college football I find it hard to believe he is a CFL contender... if he was that good why didn't Dobie recruit him (or maybe he did and decided to play bball instead?)... this could just be a case of the name getting a try-out...

I thought this thread might have to do with funny twitter accounts... as in the guy posts funny stuff... not just what their name is... I don't follow a lot of non-bombers... but Rob Maver is on exception... he's generally pretty entertaining...

If there's one thing we've learned in Winnipeg... it's that media executives always make good CFL executives...

I think Sheets will be looking for starter money and starter playing time.... once he realizes no team will be paying that... his demands will likely go down...

For the record... I have no idea who "timeout" is... I just noticed he made one migs-esque post, then disappeared... seemed suspicious...

Seem to recall they both were on CHI when they won. So Ladd has 2? Yes, Ladd has won with both Carolina and Chicago. The win with Carolina was his rookie season. Never underestimate having some one on a team who knows what it's like to win a cup. Was Frolik not on the Hawks during their last cup?... 3 guys with rings, better than none
