Yea, but as we all now know… Irving is only great because of the sound of his voice… that’s a fact from a reliable industry expert…

I always felt that way about Lucky too… I remember constantly saying to my buddies, if our OC is such an offensive genius, why can’t he figure out a way to exploit defenses with a package that includes lucky and Grant… pure speed to overwhelm the defence… anyways, based on actual production, not a huge loss… but I can’t help but feel there was a lot of potential production missed…

Don’t want to start this up again… but the discussion about diversity hiring is completely ridiculous in this case… Kate Bierness is not only completely qualified but also exceptional at her job… she’s the best person for the job, end of story…

The guy who’s somehow still getting work based on a good half season five years ago… I would take a raw rookie over him any day…

Amazing… ten thumbs up… I wasn’t expecting any “I think you should leave” references here… I’ve been hoping to use “hitting is allowed at that price point” in casual conversation but it hasn’t come up yet…

I agree but I’m 100% sure coach would’ve sent Medlock out there if he had that option… I’m also confident he would’ve made it…. The higher the stakes, the better he was… I miss him already and fear the kicking combo we have could hurt us at some point this year…

True... those trades were all modern era successes... but Khari, Brown, and Nichols produced exactly 0 grey cups... that would be the major difference...

The vendors were a mess, no question about that... but the Bomber lost a whole ton of money by not being able to sell more booze... if there's one thing I know about the Wade Miller era of management it's when there's money to be made, he'll make sure it gets made... and if there's a major problem in the stadium, he'll fix it, ASAP (ok, that's two things)...

Alford's coverage on that TD was almost perfect... unfortunately the throw was perfecter (definitely a word)... 5 mins into the game and that was the last highlight for the Cats

I was laughing at one point... he was really hamming it up holding his ribs and visibly wincing... most real football players would suck it up and hide a minor injury like that... Whiny Banks and to make sure everyone knew he was "hurt" Loser... even if he was capable of putting up 1000 yards he wouldn't last on this team* of winners... Edit: "this team" clearly refers to the Bombers, in case that was unclear...

Not worried about that... once Adams is healthy, there's the upgrade... either of Stewart or Meredith also would be an upgrade... lots of options once everyone is healthy...

spoiler alert... they do not...

Construction on or around Pembina??? Unheard of!

Re: the receivers... I'm also slightly underwhelmed by Nelson... but I am looking forward to seeing what Baily can do in an increased role.... Lawler could be a force this year... Demski and Wolly are going to continue doing their thing... overall solid group, but there's always room for improvement...

I remember exactly where I was when that play happened... I was at a friend's house watching the game... I actually got up to leave but thought "f-it, I'll just watch this final play anyways".... so I was literally standing in the doorway of his basement entrance when the play happened... excitement ensued....

This should clear it up...

It's one of my pet peeves that some people just try to make anything and everything political... Dave Naylor was wrong about the CFL/XFL merger... what does that have anything to do with his political stance?... how does one even know Dave Naylor's political stance? (I suppose it could be obvious if you follow him on social)...

I really don't understand either extreme in his evaluation... I think he's a serviceable QB you can win with if all the other areas of your team are clicking... somewhere between automatic MOP and complete bum (which seem to be the only evaluations of him out there)

I'm a little concerned about losing one of the best LS/Kicker combos in the CFL over the past decade... but they got us a cup and they were both bound to move on at some point... I do hope there's more than one kicker at camp...

I also thought it was strange they didn't mentioned how a guy from Illinois who played most of his college and pro career there... ended up with a girl from Winnipeg... in case anyone is curious... I counted and there are 27 players listed as CB or DB currently on the roster.... your estimate was close...

I think you're just assuming that he is "being given the job"... we're still a month away from camp and could easily have another kicker or two by then...

Almost every team has the "we're in trouble if our starter gets hurt" issue... it's a concern, but not something I get too worked up about... "next man up" is how stars are made... we're just waiting for ours to come one of these days....

If you watch the video, the mostly compliment the Bombers... the whole "abdicated the cup" feels very tongue in cheek... any Bomber fan getting worked up over that video... is just looking for something to complain about...

I don't think it has anything to do with Ottawa, specifically... it's just very odd that there's two games against Tor and Mtl but none against Ott...

Why even change the helmet... obviously EE still works....
