Let's see, in one scenario I spend my Labour Day weekend at the lake and do some golfing, then get to come home and watch a rivalry game the following weekend. In the other scenario I have to either miss the only cabin weekend I get most years, or that rivalry game, and I have nothing to do the following weekend. The thought of your petition has filled my Friday morning with sadness.

Some of my naps are longer than others. It's that last one that's going to be a doozy.

I tend to regard Buono's occasional one-year absences from coaching BC as rest breaks more than anything. It seems fair to me. When I'm his age I will demand nap-time as part of any employment agreement.

Dressler's fast, so to make room for Wallker we'll slide Dressler to running back, and Harris is solid thick with quick feet, great attributes for a tackle, so he can move to Bryant's spot, and big ole Stanley can bust holes in the line for Dressler as lead blocker when he becomes our fullback. You can't stop Stanley! He's too big! It's science!

Hey, just hold on now. Sam Giguere wouldn't just be a starter, he'd be the MOP as far as the RodBlacks are concerned.

Players don't always rush out of town when they're released. They might be one injury away from having a job again. As long as they have a couch to crash on and access to the team buffet and workout room, going back home and going thru the classifieds isn't always the first choice. Besides, Winnipeg is almost mosquito-free this year. How often will that happen*? *with the rise in global temperatures one of the long term effects in our region will be increased droughts, so a byproduct of this may be a decrease in mosquito numbers. So, possibly much more often.

I doubt the Bombers have to cut anyone to find $100k. They don't spend their entire cap budget on the opening day roster. No team does. All teams budget some slush into the roster for injuries and mid-season signings. If it were me, it would be at $250 - 300,000, at minimum. The idea that the Bombers have already fully committed over $5.05 of the $5.15 million in cap space they have for this season with more than half the season remaining is preposterous. Walters is not that dumb.

100k. I think you could get him for less on a multi-year deal with a chunk up-front, but as a hired gun for 2017 there will be a few teams that would use up a lot of their remaining cap space to land him. And since he probably wants to be back in the NFL next year, I'm not in a rush to show all of our talent the door.

Rider dumb. So there were some swing moments last year where Toronto and Montreal became part of the conversation of "biggest joke in the league". For a time, those two did enough questionable things that the Riders firm firm grasp on that title had just a little doubt. Even if it was for a moment, we were so wrong to doubt Chris Jones. That team is hands-down the laughing stock of the CFL.

There are fields in the CFL where the Bombers do not struggle to win. McGill Stadium is one of them.

You're avoiding the question. Jones bought a case of these. Of course, he thought "diversity is strength" was a reference to the defensive end position, and how many different types of players he should convert to that spot.

As far as I'm concerned, every time a pass is thrown both teams should have equal claim on the ball. Yet on 50-50 jump balls the penalty always goes against the DB. The CFL needs to stop bailing out QBs who make these irresponsible throws.

2 completely uncatchable helicopter punts! How exactly did he get that bizarre rotation on those? I've seen plenty of end-over-end punts before; I've never seen an end-around-end done for any meaningful distance.

Joy Behar of the CFL... Every word about Stafford coming out of camp was the opposite of what Madani is suggesting. So the idea that he got beat out as the reason he's no longer with the team when he quite clearly got beat out jives with me.

Perhaps a motorized old-timey bicycle with an oversized front tire?

At first I saw the thread and it was like, hey man, starting a thread to call out another poster...not cool man...and then I read it and it was like...yeah...that's cool...that's cool...

They have a whole package designed around Lefevour's athleticism and they've been using it with decent success all year. I have no problems with that call. The execution of that read-option was simply terrible. It looked like they literally had never practised it before and were trying it out for the first time after watching an instructional video on youtube.

If that's the case, then you all are to blame for the Harris to Adams...whatever that was on the first drive. You keep accusing him of being too conservative in the red zone; you get plays like that just to prove you wrong.

I'm very in favour of renaming IGF "Fort Hew". One of you social-media types get this going on Kickstarter or Tinder, whatever society is doing these days.

That's Vince Young to a University of Texas T! He was recruited, his girth has a lot of quantity which many people prefer over quality, and compared to Glenn, he's definitely new. I wonder what they did with that large green #8 tarp after Young left? Incidentally, 8 represented the yards of fabric used to make the jersey. That's your Thursday tailoring joke!

About once per game per game the ball gets scrimmaged from the wrong spot on the field or there is a noticeable error in timekeeping. Sometimes the refs walk off the incorrect distance on a penalty. Sometimes its the correct distance but they started at the wrong spot. This likely falls on Castillo Maher though, as the kicker is usually handed the ball and places it himself.

I'd expect the trolls will quickly abandon their Bridge.

Might be? Here's a thought - if someone is going to start a thread titled "Injury Report", why not provide an injury report? mark as read mark as read mark as read mark as read mark as read clear blue ocean clear blue ocean clear blue ocean mark as read

And as for Riderfans thinking he's a scrub, we already knew that board is filled with morons.

Don't care, don't see any need to come up with the perfect category for everything that happens everywhere. Internet and 24 hour sports channels have turned have made hyperbole commonplace and routine to the point where no one even thinks to call it out anymore. Game 1 of the CFL season, Rod Black already anointed something as the catch of the year. Game freaking 1. Every QB in this league has some strengths and weaknesses. Different coaches, different systems, different receivers, different Olines. Swap them out to different teams and you will get different results. Nichols is playing well and we don't need to actively be seeking a replacement. Can't say that every year. So among Bomber QBs this decade, he's definitely elite.
