Someone worth 100 million isn't working for anyone else.

Every one worth 100mil is working for, or owned some one else. Nearly all privately owned sports teams are owned by ownership groups not individuals.

Willie doesnt even get mentioned as a runner up for MODP, but Garry Peters does?? LMFAO. Joke list made by some clueless biased clown.

Calling 3rd down  nation media is being incredibly generous. 

Fanboi bloggers ain't media.

Top OL on a team that is tied for second last at protecting the QB and 5th in Net offense, not above 4th in any major offensive category.

Calgary just collecting vet receivers and DBs running on fumes.

Major personnel issues there.  Find some players.

Agreed, the Bomber fatigue is strong across the league. 

But, man... the Argo and Lions... ugh, I have tired about these two teams since last year's non-stop Rourke-ka-paloose-a-fest, turned 24/7 Betts-bloc-patry-rama, now the Vaj-matastic-gogo-thon-kneebrace edition... and the Dame-doo--whop-bopparama... it non-stop... like we get it... Doman's doing a good job getting interest in the Lions... good. But holy ****... take your head outta their asses for a moment and breathe...

And the Argos... GC Champs, 6-0 and still no one gives a **** about them- i legit feel sorry for them, they need all the press they can get...

Its funny they slobbered all over Betts forst 6 games...what a pace he was on...yet not a peep about his last 3 games...with no sacks....and minimal stats let alone impact...cherry picking at it's finest

No mention of guys like WJ's consistent play...Jeffcoats 4 straight gaes with a sack...with FF and FR mixed in...Lanier recently...Lemons immediate impact.....they just like to push their narratives for sure

What ever, Bomber fatigue or just plain hate- as long as we raise the Cup in November,  all will be as it should.

No Jefferson for MODP but Peters is a joke. Kelly for MOP is the same. Rice as top OL? This stuff's not fit to line a bird cage.

Sadly in the cfl that’s about as much as we get though. They are soo deep in bed with tsn it’s not even funny.

The mental gymnastics they had to do to avoid picking Bombers was comical.

We’re going to pick Kelly over Collaros because he had a big game last week, but we’re going to pick Betts over Jefferson even though he’s been held sackless over the past 3 weeks.

[Stickem]

Pay no attention guys.....They are tired of the 'their too old' gag'.....that didn't work so they've changed the narrative to 'anyone but the Bombers'....It's so obvious it makes you want to puke..BUT we'll soldier on and prevail....like we always do and piss them off endlessly 

[Noeller]

as has been mentioned, I couldn't care less about individual awards. I want to get back to the top of the mountain and be able to put up my "Defend The Cup" lawn sign again...

Peters has 29 tackles and 3 ints. Houston has better stats, 26 tackles but 6 ints, 3 ff and 3 fr.

Got ‘em right where we want ‘em! Bombers are a -been there done that- veteran team that still plays best with a chip on the shoulder.

yeah....most times they glom over stats as their main metric, so that makes little sense....same with Betts and Jefferson....Betts has a few more tackles but a lot of his are in chase mode after a runner breaks l.o.s....A difference of 2 sacks...WJ blows him away in Knock Downs...WJ also has FF'S edge, and has more of an impact game in and game out, so let the media have their fun....we shall see at end of yr who's left standing in the west

Funny as well the team with the best passer....best rusher, and a receiver tops in yardage has an oline with no love either....rather comical

believe it or not...Commonwealth has top notch facilities and amenities....actually up into the influx of the new NFL stadiums.....they put many NFL teams digs to shame and rivalled many others.....go figure eh?...Havn't been in that stadium in yrs, but from what I know it has been up-kept very well, its just so cavernous and at moment while team is floundering, looks like a grave yard with 17 to 25k people in it...even with mid 30k attendance it looks sorta empty.....stadiums like that set up for athletic games are not cozy and intimate venues for football

Cgy tho is a right dump, and antiquated...they need a new facility, or do the total reno-reconfiguration process one side at a time, as I not sure they have an alternate place in CGY to hold games where you hold over 10k attendees.... 

Consider the huge expansion of medical facilities across the street over the last decade, is that development associated with the U of Calgary or on their land?  That property is way too valuable for them to rebuild a football stadium on that spot, they're probably just waiting for it to fall down and repurpose the land.  A football team paying rent isn't much on an incentive to maintain the status quo and I don't know how much they care about the Dinos having a park to play in anymore, maybe they just cut their football program all together like SFU.

The cancer center being built at the foothills campus is not anything to do with the UofC. UofC has a couple buildings there but that area is mostly to do with the foothills hospital. Honestly I think building the stadium in the same spot isn't a problem, the problem is that no one wants to pay for it. The hockey arena is what the focus was on, cfl is an after thought in this city.

Calgary should be getting close to the top of Ambrosie's list.  They won't be able to host another Grey Cup which is really where most of the franchises struggling year to year make up that missing cash flow.

Dickie getting desperate, Walters needs to become his new best friend, can't get anything out of his half-wit brother but he could probably trade a spare DB for a good prospect or a future draft pick. Trade with him once and like a junkie he'll come back for more.

I'd prefer to not help out a division "rival". That team was too good for too long... **** them. Let 'em sit in the basement awhile longer.

Yeah other than Toronto being perpetually a problem in my mind Calgary is the worst off franchise at the moment in terms of potential crisis. Edmonton will be fine when  they fix the onfield product. Calgary just doesn't seem to care about the cfl and that includes the owners.
