3 hour cflpa conference call. This is either, they are telling all players the deal is done or they are gonna walk out shortly. 3 hours is very long. heart wants to say they got a deal done, head and gut know better though. Its to implement their strike strategy cuz how would it take 3 hours to let players now a deal is done.

I know i said buff, but i'd suspect that kane would actually be the guy moving in that deal, so essentially the lw marchand replaces the lw kane.

Drew Edwards ✔@scratchingpost A source close to the negotiations between the #CFL & #CFLPA says progress has been made today and talks are continuing. Drew is a very reliable source, one of the, if not, THE BEST, writer in the league. This has got Good news written all over it.

yup. my mistake there. Don't use park and ride so really was just concentrating on the 2.55 thing.

man if this iglesias kid ever sees the field and scores a td, they need to play "hero" by enrique. That would be oustanding.

bleacher report (pretty reliable) is reporting the bruins are shopping marchand and the jets are interested. Buff to boston for marchand and a pick?

i'll explain, i used to live in ek, still sort of do but... the 2.55 for example would be for me to hop the #11 bus lets say, then i would get a tranfer downtown and hop on to the 60 university bus, this is how i got to school every day. (most days) it's not different for the bombers... 2.55 gets you on a regular transit bus... all you have to pay is 2.55, you can get your transfers cuz unless you live on that side of the city, you are more than likely gonna need to transfer once.. the 5$ is for the park and ride, it's my understanding that the 5$ covers just the park and ride.. you pay your 5$ (per car it seems) and you hop on a school bus. Bombers must have got a pretty decent deal there if you only paying 5$ for a car load (which could be 5 or 6 people per car)

its day 7, lets not look to far in to who is getting reps where, it's all irrelevant, its likely if that game goes ahead monday that there will be several cuts afterwards, the who the oline, how the ratio works out will sort itself out over the next few weeks, i'll go on record tho here, no chance in heck we start 3 import oline. NOt a chance.

Gonna be honest here, i don't particular care for talk radio, when i turn the radio on in my house or car, its not to hear other people talking. I hate it actually, it frustrates me to no end, i did however give tsn 1290 a chance to sway my listening habits a bit, and they completely sucked in my opinion. Now i rarely to never listen to the radio (only for bomber games) and only to listen to music, really i have an iphone and i'd rather just plug that in and listen to it. Talk radio is just not something i care for, heck even on the music stations when the hosts start talking i switch it, it's just not my idea of entertainment.. entertainment to me is not listening to other people ***** about everything.

Just saying but almost positive DB means Darren Bauming.

Lucas and Thomas were inked in as one of the 7 starting NI's. It's not likely at all that Lucas was getting cut. Our NI starters took a hit when Lucas tore his ACL and we need to find another NI DT to rotate with Thomas if we still plan to use an NI at DT. It's much more likely IMHO that we will be forced to use 4 NI O lineman which is a shame because January and Jones were our two best O lineman last year and we won't be able to start both of them this year. No they weren't. I didn't hear anybody say that. You are speculating all the way out there in BC again. You are assuming that was the case but... you have no facts to back what you are saying up. That's your opinion. That's all it is, stop pretending like your opinion is always what the bombers are going to do. Speculation at best. What was actually rumoured was a non import field corner and safety. Never did hear anything about lucas or thomas. Not once, maybe from a couple of you on this board here but walters in the past mentioned field corner and safety as 2 likely spots.

i'd probably debate if kane scheif wheeler is our number 1 line, i'd say its ladd little frolik actually.

I'll be honest, i'd rather have guys getting hurt giving it there all than floating out there, training camp is time for work, if a few guys get hurt, so be it. it means they are busting their butts. That's a good thing in the big picture.

Monty wont be back, it's gonna be PAV and Hutch.. Pav only has a couple years left on his deal, he's what you call a stop gap until helly or comrie are ready.. in a few years, pav will be gone and helly or hutch will be starter and backup. Makes sense now to stick with Pavelec, Montoya isn't the answer, he's a 30 year old career backup, people need to get that, montoya is a backup. When pav was "hurt", they gave monty his chance and what he did was win 3 and lose 3. It is what it is.

Them walking off at half time would also be a big FU to the fans who showed up to the game, not the smartest thing to do. The other thing is, how many vets are going to be playing monday? i'd assume not that many

when did the bombers say lucas was going to be starting? they didn't. why do we assume he was going to be? for all we know, he would have been cut. Yeah our non import depth is an issue but lets not assume that a guy like lucas would have been starting cuz its just as likely that he wouldnt be. we know and all knew about our non import depth issues a while ago, there is only so much you can do in one off season, the free agents weren't out there, gonna take a year or 2 or 3 to get to the point we want to be canadian depth wise.

Lots of these injuries are hamstring pulls or ankles being rolled on, it's not like guys are out there breaking necks, it's just part of football, im not sure there is much you can do to avoid hamstring pulls or ankles from being rolled, it just happens. again though it seems some are making to big of a deal out of a depth chart, the depth chart means nothing at this point. O'shea has said several times already that the depth chart means little so really wish some would stop pretending some guys are being penciled in as starters right now when they are not.

didn't use park and ride last year, used get dropped off and picked up after I have no issue with this though, it should make no difference to most people any ways. If people have issues paying to take a bus, then we got bigger problems here.

Irving has been known to take issues with members of the BOD from time to time, never really says names (actually doesn't ) but does from time to time let people know that he thinks there are some members on the BOD who are in it for themselves. ( my best guess is he's referring to Asper as Asper has been there a while now and this goes back a bit now with Irving and the BOD ) I thought i recalled Bob mentioning something relating to how can people who are fans of the team and always let their emotions get in the way of business actually know what's best for business. Not exactly that but.. pretty much. Made it sound to me that it was obvious he was talking about Mr Asper. I'm not sure how far CJOB's archives go back but.. if it does, i'm sure irvings rant on the BOD can be found, it was one of those "rants" irving does every so often about different things going on in the sports world, like a 60 or 90 second clip discussing the random events of the week relating to sports.

Kind of wont happen but... the ideal situation this summer for the jets would probably be something like Trade Kane to Florida for the 1st overall pick and a prospect. Take Bennett who can play LW and would probably look great with scheif and wheeler. Maybe even try Kane to florida for the 1st overall and Huberdeau, Scheif and Hubs has history together, played very well at the world juniors together. Hubs,Scheif,Wheels. Ladd, Little,Frolik. Bennett,Richards, ?? ??,O'dell/Slater,?? could address those 3 question marks on offence with a trade of BUFF.. get back a pick a good 3rd line winger or ideally a 2nd line winger and move frolik to the third line with bennett and richards. Yeah none of this will happen, just saying.

richards is the kings 4th line centre right now so playing third line here would be a step up I'd see if he was bought out, then if he was offer him a deal in the 3 million range, 3.5 even, got a few guys on ELC's here so 3 3.5 for richards aint gonna break the bank, especially if we move buff or kane or even don't resign jokinen.

It's interesting the different opinions you get on here from all the camp reports by those of you who have gone. one guy says grigsby looked meh, other said he looked good. Goossen standing out as being good to one, as being not so good by someone else. Quite interesting. Do appreciate the reports though.

The last thing i will say about this topic is... i dont know how much actual information we would gain from interview positional coaches. Just saying but... one of our media members didn't know about the canadian ratio a while back, they didn't know that the aussie kicker would qualify as a non import, i'm not even sure they know anything actually. Just pretend they do more often than not. Irving, Tait ok,maybe those guys but guys like friesen and even penton, man, what are you gonna ask the DC for example.. how can they ask the DC a legit question when they themselves have very little clue about what is actually going on. i couldn't imagine some of the questions these guys would get... honestly, you'd be better off having fans off this site asking the coaches questions, at least here you got guys like JBR, and got ok, i'll stroke his ego, MIKE, and guys like this who actually understand the game and probably could come up with something better to ask these guys.. what would a friesen question to lets say etcheverry be? or the special teams coach, what would he actually ask them, i'd imagine not much cuz the guy really doesn't have a clue about football. Hard to take some of our media guys seriously when they think they are experts on everything. Seriously, rapid transit, politics, bombers, jets, they think they know it all, But really.. the truth is they don't and it's pretty obvious.

same old same old, o'shea is a breath of fresh air is all i will say Oh and the callers need to be screened, pretty sure every 30000 year old man calls in.
