Kind of, I just went to save your picture and his name is in the file.

 

However, I did this a long time ago. I've seen pictures of Feynman but always younger and always black and white. I didn't recognize him in your pic.

Ssssoooo disappointed.

I didn't recognize him because he's not killing the bongo drums in the pic.

Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin'ichirō Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965.

I thought it was Scott Bakula with longer hair. He was also a physicist.

I looked for a gif of Peter Nygaard playing the bongos as a witty response...

And, um, don't ever google 'Peter Nygaard bongos'.  Just don't.

One day I'm watching random science videos on YouTube (as one does) when all of a sudden a suggested video popped up with Atomic's face on it. "WTF", I exclaimed. Intrigued, I sat and watched a one hour documentary called 'The Fantastic Mr Feynman' and learned a lot about a very interesting and intelligent man (Feynman, not Atomic ). It's definitely worth watching.

I thought it was Guy Lafleur.

I'm not convinced that Addison Richards isn't still in their plans.

We, as fans may see him as a guy with potential, who isn't worth keeping around due to injury issues. But I think that the Big 3 must have something else on their minds than hoping he recovers and hoping he can perform.

I watched him in a practice last year shortly after Darvin Adams went down. For much of the day he was given first team scrimmages because Rory K was taking a knee, and Richards did not look out of place. Call me an optimist, but I don't see Walters/O'shea as the types who hang onto a guy like him without seeing big potential. They also have the knowledge of knowing what exactly his injuries are.....something the fans can only speculate upon.

Cue the Jade Etienne Comeback at age 27.  Sheppard better be ready to give the #88 jersey back.  

[Taynted_Fayth]

IMHO Richards will need to do something, anything really this year as it will be year 3 and come season's end will be requiring an extension or walking.  If he doesn't do anything again this season, I just can't see any justification in extending him, even if he looks good in a few practices

[TBURGESS]

I think we'll draft a receiver in the first or second round  and he will go head to head with Richards for the last NI receiver spot this year. If newbie wins it, then Richards will either have another injury or will be among the last cuts.

Is this the last year of Richards' contract?

Etienne might have grown into an adult body finally who knows. Richards has the physical tools, with his healthy and preparedness though who knows. Im not holding my breath on him by any means. I do hope we get a wr with one of our top 3 picks. Ideally top 2.

That would imply that Richards is behind Coates, both on the depth chart and talent.  I suspect neither is the case, but the sample size isn't much to draw from.

Despite the resentment that has built up among some, Richards has been unlucky, not lousy.

That's exactly what I was saying. Richards has been unlucky for sure and lousy when he's been given chances.

[Floyd]

Not sure I'm sold on a receiver even with our second first round pick...

Coates basically has as much chance to succeed as Richards - a high 2nd round pick...  look at receiver prospects all around the league - either moved on from their draft team - Bailey, Chambers... - or plateaued much lower than anticipated - Ianuzzi, Giguere...

I'd take a chance on Carter or Picton in the 3rd round...  keep building depth at OL, DT and S with the first three picks - would even be tempted to go Woodson/Wright at #6

[holoman]

I still can't imagine the Bombers  not going OL/DL/Rec with their first 3 picks

Alrighty then. Which beige is beiger? News at 11.

[Goalie]

Marty Costello named OL coach.  Assistant under Wylie last year

[M.O.A.B.]

Wonder what happened to Boudreau Sr? I thought he was a candidate.

[bigg jay]

So does that mean Boudreau Sr is not joining the coaching staff?  It was never confirmed that we hired him, just that the Bombers were hoping to finalize a deal and I assumed they were after him for OL coach. 

[M.O.A.B.]

Just noticed that Boudreau Jr shows as the Special Team coordinator and not Assistant anymore.

Although it says Assisstant on the profile page.
