  1. and now some absolute ridiculousness http://cjme.com/story/regina-businesses-sweeten-dresslers-deal/410542
  2. People are quite dedicated if they sit through that first half of crap football again... I'd just skip to the 3rd quarter. But always awesome to have the option. Thanks
  3. Hate saying this but apparently, it's once more this season and once more next season.. If the reports are accurate.
  4. David Larkins ✔ @LarkinsWSun If you're in a "bidding war" for a receiver in the CFL, you need to burn your neg list. Haha. Good point there.
  5. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=460393 Theres the TSN story.
  6. gary lawless ✔ @garylawless for those asking, no, i don't think #bombers are in the Dressler hunt I don't think? Pretty much eh Gary lol
  7. I think 200,000 for Dressler is fair. Dude has had five 1000 yard seasons, He's very good. I'd actually say he's the best import receiver in the CFL the last several seasons. I've always liked the guy, was really angered to learn that he came from North Dakota and the Bombers didn't make a play for him originally. You know what, 200,000 base with a 50,000 signing bonus.. I'd do it. Hell, if need be, let's make that one time signing bonus 75000. Got cap space, why not use it.
  8. I dont buy it. Firstly, that would be the worst thing ISIS could do though I assume they'd gladly do it if they could. But that would be the end of ISIS because the US would decimate them. But the evidence mostly points to mechanical failure. Are you of the opinion the pilot(s) were in on a hijacking? I'm not sure any more and to be honest, have lost interest, just reporting what a few people have said. It wouldn't shock me one bit to see another 9/11, maybe 9/11 x 1000 so like 911,000
  9. 250 is insane, bet for 50,000 more you could get both alex hall and chris matthews. But with all that being said, just realized the guy has a young basically newborn child, I think he stays in Regina.
  10. I'm not convinced he goes to Ottawa. All that money or not, I'm just not convinced. He probably will but, one would assume that if they offered him 250,000, he would have signed it by now... Obviously he hasn't and is thinking his options over. Maybe money isn't the be all and end all here. 250,000 is way way too much but i'm still not convinced he takes it.. 40,000 more than Josh Bourke, 45000 more than chad owens... Ottawa is being crazy here, trying to win now but, it just won't happen.. Dressler or no Dressler, that Ottawa team ain't winning. Maybe it's just hope or a gut feeling, but.. beware of the quiet one in all this, we know sask and Ottawa are interested, we have assumed Winnipeg has interest.. Winnipeg is being the most quiet of all 3, there has to be a reason for that. Perhaps it's as simple as to not get anyones hopes up but then again, maybe it's too respect the wishes of dressler and his agent? Who knows.. Not sure i like this negotiating through the media that Ottawa seems to be doing.
  11. Probably because for as much love as Kromah seems to be getting, the real run stopper last week was Ian Wild who had 14 tackles and barely anyone is mentioning him.
  12. Miami might be a huge market but it's a market that doesn't care about hockey. They gave up on Atlanta, they will give up on Florida one day also. Phoenix also has an out in their contract coming up too, Don't be surprised if Phoenix is on the way to Seattle.
  13. There are some strong rumours going around that MH370 may have been hijacked by that ISIS group and some people in the know are saying there could be another 9/11 coming up very soon, on 9/11/14 actually.. some pretty big time military people, retired i believe are speculating that the MH370 plane could be used by ISIS to attack the USA.
  14. Gonna throw up in my mouth a bit here but so far, These ticat jerseys are my favourite. They look nice, clean simple and look like ticat colours. I can't give anyone an A, not even BC as i think all black is just too simple.. but Ticats B+ Lions B Redblacks B Als C Riders F Bombers F Arogs F
  15. Congrats to all of them, Only name i know is Ritchie, but congrats to all 4.
  16. The reason the media has somewhat moved on is because the bigger story is ISIS and a possible threat to the USA. These guys are for real, they ain't messing around, beheading people on youtube videos.. Remember MH370? dominated the airways for a long time, what ever happened there? Then it became about Ukraine for a while then something else happened and they went on about MH17 for a while, then ferugson happened, now ISIS.. Fact is, as much as some may not like to admit it, there are bigger stories in the world than a black guy being shot by a police officer.
  17. Asper has been around longer than Miller has been. Say what you will about Asper and all that, but without him, there is no new stadium. Facts be damned, Asper has done a lot of good for the team the last few years. People can talk about location all they want but for most the city, st james wasn't the easiest place to get too either. Fact of the matter is, Asper has been on that board for a long time now, without him, there is no new stadium. The guy might be emotional at times, but you know what, he's done a lot of good for the team too and this coming from a guy who honestly, I'm not a fan of Izzys kids. Not sure what ASPER ever did to some people, honestly, reading some posts, you'd think he's a murderer of some kind who has done no good.. The fact is, the guy is a successful business man who has his own development company, has done a lot of good for this city, more than you me and the other guys on here thats for sure. Not sure why people always have issues with people who are more successful than they are.. But honestly, that post above is so misinformed it's crazy. Miller didn't add asper, Quite the opposite actually, Asper was around long before Miller became president of the team, Hell Asper and the BOD are the ones who hired Miller.
  18. Apparently 2 teams will be moving, the guesses are florida moves to quebec city, they are already in the same division. One team moves to the west and the Toronto and probably Seattle get the expansion teams.. 32 teams apparently still, 16 west, 16 east. Anybodies guess as to who those 2 teams that move are but one would assume Florida has a good chance of being the one that goes to quebec city.

  20. Sounds like it's just as simple as restructuring. It happens in business all the time. This is a community owned team, the bombers are looking to save some money. I can't really blame them. Bell, don't know the guy, seemed like a nice guy but he was a nice guy who got paid a nice chunk of money for a very long time. He will be fine. In the end, it comes down to money and i'd suspect this one did too. The fact that they aren't going to go out and hire another COO and VP says all any of us really need to know.
  21. The only thing I'll say regarding the post about it being an old boys club, Miller came in and got rid of some of them "old boys". Not really sure those posts really make sense. Unless people are referring to the BOD, but the BOD has removed a few older guys and added a few new younger guys and gals for that matter. Thinks are a changing, for years and years people referred to us as a gong show, Bell might have been a nice guy, Bannon too, Others also but... Times, they are a changing. I'm fine with whatever decision Miller makes. He knows what he is doing regardless of some pretty obvious personal shots a few posters have taken against him. People talk about Ameet Pall kicking Iso's dog on the other thread, Well apparently Miller has done the same to a few on here too. It's a business after all.
  22. If Matthews is released from Seattle, my guess is he's on the first plane to Winnipeg the second he clears waivers.
  23. How can a guy who has had five 1000 yard seasons in this league be over hyped? Some people obviously don't like him because he was a rider but that doesn't mean he hasn't been one of the best most consistent receivers in the league.
  24. Maybe they are just releasing players who haven't really done much with them? Not sure why releasing 3 players, i guess maybe some people have heard of them? is that the reason? cuz some have heard of them? but not sure why releasing 3 players is a big deal.. Anderson? Discovered he was a ******, more of a distraction than a help Johnson? Slaton and Steele Sinkfield? Obviously, he has not play that well.. Had a chance to step up with all the argo injuries and didn't. The marketing people? I'd release half of them too if only 10-15,000 people showed up, why bother paying marketing people when it's not working... I refuse to admit that argos are the problem in Toronto, The problem is the Rogers Centre, It's the biggest issue the argos have. If they could get out of the Rogers Centre in to a 25,000 seat stadium of their own, They would probably sell it out.
  25. Dressler,Denmark, Moore would put us right up top on that list of teams with elite receivers.
