I'm not a big fan of how things were handled. The people who voted against Harris for top Canadian should be ashamed of themselves. Their job is to pick the best player in the category not to make some sort of moral statement. And it is certainly not their job to collude the way that they did. Clearly the anti-Harris vote in this category colluded to not only make sure Harris didn't win but also to make sure they sent some sort of additional message by picking a player who wouldn't be one of the top 3 Canadians on the team at the very least. They should all have their voting rights revoked. They turned this whole situation into a debacle and really they've embarrassed Miller. And unlike John Scott, Miller doesn't seem to have a sense of humor about this sort of thing.

I knew there was a reason to like Chris Cuthbert..

John "da bag-man" Bowman ought to shut his flap, you can't tell me as the longest serving Al he didn't know anything about Kavis's pay-roll shenanigans.

Bauming was on 1290 today and he thought the Bombers had won 2 out of 3 against the Riders. Guy can't even do basic research and he gets a vote? The club should ban all 3. Its not like anybody would miss the content they provide.

Bugs me that Bauming, Hamilton and Wyman all came up with Miller. I wonder if they talked?

I came in hot on this yesterday, and today, I still feel the same. If the CFL wants to create a rule saying that any in season suspension makes you ineligible for any league awards, fine. But, no rule currently exists. So, the media's job is to choose the most outstanding in each category, not impose some individual, moral judgment in absence of a rule, or take some ridiculous "bad for CFL 2.0" stance. Your job was to vote for the most outstanding in each category, and by choosing Mike Miller for anything other than special teams, you failed at your job. If you did for click bait and hits to your site/twitter feed, well played. But, don't defend it as the right choice. It wasn't. It makes you look dumb. Particularly when Harris' numbers were so good. Leading rusher, 6 yards per carry, 500 receiving yards! And you chose Mike Miller? Still stunned, one day later. End of rant on this for me.

Bowman have any comment about receiving money under the table? Don't forget that was the story when Kavis was fired.

Gotta Love this guy!

In all likelihood we will see the CFL make it so that a player suspended for PED's is ineligible for individual awards. Personally I think they should take it a step forward and disallow all players who embarrass the league (i.e. Speedy Banks for Recreational Drugs and Hughes for a DUI). The offending player should be good to go the next season as long as there isn't another violation. Clarity and consistency would benefit everyone.

Trump uploads photochop on Twitter and Twitter responds well as you might think.

So... you're saying that the Republicans are making this a partisan thing- because they all voted lock step against the dems and the Dems voted how ever they wanted?

Whaaaat? the cons driving policy based on ideology and not facts? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!

Conservatives did not do their research on how a carbon tax is actually working in various countries. To say they would just ‘scrap it’ was rather telling.

Re-watching the highlights to the game.. and holy shitvare the stamps a dirty team.... The first hit Zach took from 93 when he hits him in the head and then proceeds to drive his head into the ground... no flag (dafuq was upbwith those refs?) That hit on Zach as he's sliding... total intent to injure. And everyone that got a td still got a hit put on them. Adams... #11 hit him after he caughtvthe ball. Demski walks in for a TD- gets a lick put on him 2 yards after he broke the plane... Stumps are assholes ...

Now you can see how easy it was for Trudeau to buy journalists off. At least Bob Irving did the right thing. I can only imagine what jack Matheson would have said if he was alive today.

If Harris has contract incentives for being most outstanding Canadian, I hope the organization steps up and pays that incentive regardless. Players around the league will know we support our players.

Top running team Top run defence Numerous big playmakers on both sides of the ball Ability to dominate both sides of the LOS These are all reasons people should not sleep on the Bombers quite yet. This team is built to win games in November.

FYI... New temporary Bomber store open at St Vital Mall. If you're a season ticket holder you'll get a double discount (it seems) on Saturday, November 9th. Xmas gift buying time! From the email: New St. Vital Store to Open Sunday <--- They say Saturday below A new seasonal Bomber Store in St Vital Mall will open this Saturday, November 2 for the holiday season. The store's grand opening will take place November 9th with Buzz and Boomer, and a double discount for season ticket members.

The league should have handled this ...they didn't...instead left it up to the whims of a few loser media people sitting in their little ivory tower...I won't forget this and neither should the Bomber faithful...This was just plain over the top discrimination against a star player in this league....Makes you wonder about their motivation....was it really all about keeping the league snowy white and clean (pious bastards) or was it something else....something they have against the team ??...In any event I hope Andrew Harris uses this as a motivation in the playoffs to further make those a-holes look stupid... Inspired play taking us to the Cup would be great...otherwise I hope Andrew runs wild on defenses and shows those idiots that nothing else but his talent and desire were needed for him to play this game at a very high caliber ...In my book Andrew is a winner.....

Calgary seems to be hurting as well. Might be an interesting battle of the backups this weekend.

John Bowman can go fornicate with a steaming hot plate of poutine. What a jackwad.

One day this will be the way Trump is remembered

As much as I wanted a horsecollar call on that play in real-time, after seeing the replay the defender clearly grabbed the front of the shoulder pad, which is clean and legal.

How Walby has never been employed by CJOB in some capacity, is beyond me.

I can't disagree enough. Bauming was passionate but is so ill-equipped for any analysis. He just repeats what the coaches or real analysts point out. Westwood is just a fan. He offers no insight beyond how the dressing room reacted to things 20 years ago. The only one worth anything on that station is Walby. He's great. I also like when they have Landry and Cuthbert on. They're good.

So you figure Claybrooks will end up in Toronto too? Interesting... 😉

Especially with such an outstanding running back in Andrew Harr... err, fullback in Mike Miller, who just received a nod as our Most Outstanding Canadian! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-blue-bombers-andrew-harris-mike-miller-cfl-award-1.5341326

Have looked into this a bit ... Google has implemented a new feature called auto ads, where it basically uses AI/ML to try and better serve ads and placement. I had turned it on a while back, but with restrictions. I found this email from yesterday: As someone who works in software, this is something that really pisses me off. You never unilaterally make changes to how a customers account works. Most people never read those emails, and I almost never log into the account to see notifications. These have been turned off. Let me know if you are still seeing them.

A lot of people pencilling in MTL for East Final. Not convinced. Me thinks EDM pass rush spells trouble for Adams. Really want a HAM WPG GC.

Most reasonable people on this board (that excludes some), just want to win -stats are secondary to us. Nichols was a winner - he wasn't flashy, but he often got the job done. He was the best option we had at the time. Collaros' stats weren't flashy, but we need to remember he hasn't played a whole game in about a season and a half...and he had only 2-3 practices where he ran our offense. He likely has a higher ceiling than Nichols (i.e. makes some plays out of nothing). Let's hope he stays healthy for 3 playoff games!

The horsecollar rule is intended to stop a particular mode of injury. It is actually called more liberally now than the original intent. Even with the wider interpretation, that tackle started at the front of the shoulder and it was not a penalty.

Pritchard Farms is popular. Wheeler lives in Royalwood. The newer end of Tuxedo has some really big places on fake lakes. I know a couple have rented in Van Hull. I think, if you're settling in Winnipeg for a bit, you buy something in town, in a quiet enough neighbourhood with good schools. You're probably not spending the off-season (after school ends) at that house anyhow.

Didnt several players get homes in Waverly West? Kane had a condo on...Wellington? Ladd was living in Towes condo on Snow (I think its Snow, behind Victoria Hsp).

I'm a very good stalker. EDIT: It's just a rumour that he bought land south of the perimeter, along St Mary's. As soon as I see my journalist source, they'll be able to confirm this. That being said, it would surprise me greatly if Buff were to sell his house right now even if he was leaning towards retiring. It's too soon. He would likely wait until next year to do it. I think this is just a coincidence.

Taaffe was set up to fail here. No foundation to work on thanks to Youngs penchant for hiring people with little or no experience then trying to fix that mistake by hiring experience and expecting over night results. Joked at charity golf tournament.."best two balls I hit today was when I stepped on a rake"

Thanks Rich! Appreciate the site and if you ever decide to open it to donations I’ll be the first to pony up some cash!

He ain't wrong.

I'd still prefer to support a small business that uses locally grown (as much as possible) ingredients. The Farm to table aspect of the craft beer industry is still a really big part of it to me... ...as I sit here sipping a Township Stolen Canoe and ponder the industry...

I like Bauming because he seems to have a real interest in the CFL, however on the radio at times he sounds really fake and cliché.... Sadly when it comes to Bomber coverage Westwood seems to be the most genuine.

fwiw, in his media availability, Willie Jefferson also indicated that he is representing Harris for MOP. This team will rally behind this, you better believe.

Bottom line we know that many members of the media have a very self important attitude, like they are the ones who decide what is right and wrong. This is just another example of this. You also see it all the time in the NHL too where people will not give the awards to players on shitty teams because of the arbitrary have to make the playoffs mentality. Media needs to come to grips with the fact that they aren't the only ones who are knowledgeable about sports and their opinions are really dime a dozen in this day and age.

Charleston Hughes plead guilty to DUI in April. But he gets the team award. Good thing he didn't kill someone.

I'd take Claybrooks over Richie Hall... He'll be hungry to show he's not washed up.

What I expected was the Winnipeg media to stand behind, and alongside of Andrew Harris, and let the chips fall where they may. From their approach, he has no chance...and that just ain’t right. Somebody has to support him.

Wtf are you talking about? What argument? I said your comparison doesnt work. Because it doesn't. But please go ahead and tell me about my argument since you know it so well. Lol Also sorry I for shitting in your cereal this morning.

From Mike Miller:

Riders win. "Don't act surprised. Told you we were this good. Suck it ". Riders Lose. "First year QB, HC, didn't think we'd get this far. So proud of the progress we've made. So set for the future it's scary"

Don’t run the site to make money. I’m happy to break even. The ads do pay for hosting, software costs, prizes for Pick ‘Ems and Lock of the Week, and we’ve donated a pair of season tickets to allow those less fortunate to see Bomber games every year running the site. So if they are detracting from the enjoyment of the site, I’m generally against them.

Thanks, Beerpants! It's been bugging me too.

Let's face it, if Nichols puts up 221 yards, despite the win, this board loses it mind. Fact is, we need a manager. And Manager Collaros is on duty.
