Oh. Looks like they just re-upped Thiadric Hansen's special team's cudgel. * *for reference.

My God.... how did I not see this? Glorious! I love How Osh managed to dump the first one back onto Thiadric.

On the cusp of a new year and a new decade, my wish for all here is that in 365 days after a year of celebrating, bemoaning and bickering, may we all meet here again in good health and peace. Sempre avanti!

Kongbo out...

One month and one week ago today...

Confirmed that he has signed a futures contract. As per Bleacher Report: Typically, futures contracts are minimum-salary deals with little or no signing bonus. Most players signed to futures contracts will be fighting for a spot in camp; teams aren't going to invest much into players who may well be cut the following autumn.

If we choose..our playbook and plays can be the same...Lapo leaving doesnt mean the playbook does too..its the Bombers My hope is we build off...some..of his stuff and expand to things to truly take advantage of certain play makers..it will actually allow Harris to be more successful as well..

There is always an ignore feature - it's called your own common sense and your brain. Seriously, how impossible is it to disregard someone's comments that you need a machine to do the editing for you?

chat is more fun, but needs moderation, which is difficult. If there was a block, or ignore feature, that would eliminate the problem. The people that were on for Jets discussion during a Bomber game seemed to be oblivious to the fact that people didn't want to talk Jets, and continued with it no matter what. annoying.

Nope. Evans is still making relative backup money. Masoli's return date is an open question so no cap impact. Question here won't be money it'll the usual qb controversy type stuff. Risk of injury is always there but there's no reason to think the wheels will suddenly fall off from Evans. Masoli watching Evans all year with the odd third and short wrinkle followed by the same off season questions of where Masoli will end up is what I expect in 2020.

That's going to be a really hard D-Line to break into. They're stacked all over.

Heaven forbid someone who enjoys wrestling and has the financial means to start a company does exactly that. This stunner happened after the show went off the air. It was a bit of fun for the people who purchased tickets. The horror! Besides, the use of the term "money mark" says it all. It's like getting called a snowflake. It's really hard to take a person seriously when those phrases start getting tossed around. Multiple times in this case.

Evans isn't going to be a FA until next off season. He can demand a trade all he wants it won't happen. Not unless the deal is good etc. But to say he's going to demand a raise/trade is ridiculous, He holds very little power in his current situation.

Masoli re-sign. Would have comfortably bet against it...my guess is there was too much uncertainty around the injury for Masoli to test the market so why not wait it out a year? All my friends are here, know the system...and perhaps a chance to get my job back ?

I think that has more to do with Nichols than playcalling. Nichols settled into this ball protection mindset and completely lost the mid-range 10-20 yard passing game. Good for him, kept him employed and on the field because he's relatively safe. Give the team a chance to win without turnovers. With Collaros being a little more confident in his ability to make those throws our offense was a little more dynamic and less reliant on Harris making something out of nothing in the passing game.

Good. Now they have 2 QBs who we can’t beat in the playoffs...

Those are just fan designs. He did one for each team. Not legit leaks

As a Bomber fan I'm 😭. As a Niner fan I'm 😃.

Great for Kongbo. Bad for us. Wonder what type of a deal it is?

...or so I assume.

I honestly think that the wedding segment from Raw will have an affect on a few people's decision making process. There has to be at least one person with a contract about to expire who saw that and thought "fuuuuuck this"

Yes and there's a cap on bonus money they can give on those deals as well. Not sure what it is now a few years ago it was $75,000 for all the futures contracts for each team.

Its funny because Ford has said he was fine with not being killed off this time. I figured it would happen and someone probably had to die in the first installment to raise the stakes. But everyone wanted Luke to live. Trevorrow apparently was really upset at Luke dying in TLJ and wanted to bring him back. If I was Kennedy I'd have likely called an audible and had Leia die in 8, if you really need to kill someone, and keep Luke.

Hefty price tag for both of those guys who look and want to be the 'guy' behind centre..I can't see Evans hanging around a team that is going to go with another qb. as the starter..Evans can get starter money elsewhere and there's a club back east that would give him the coin...Good luck with that one Ham....After the performance Evans gave them last season.he's going to demand a raise or traded...bet on it

You cant compare the 80's to today. And even then, they still did goofy things with non wrestlers (Fink, Gene etc). Vince was very against putting himself in the ring until Lawler convinced him to do an angle in USWA in early 90's. But you cant be critical of Tony and ignore Vince putting himself in angles just because Vince did it 10 years into his run rather then year 1. Its a common thing in modern wrestling to do goofy things for the live crowd. That wasnt the case in the 80's. When WWE did angles with Gene and Fink, it was on the live show, not "dark". Nothing I've heard about Tony indicates he's a money mark. Hes a smart guy and has a lot of other smart guys around him. Dark Order is a mid card gimmick. Wrestling, including WWE, have a long history of out of shape guys. Hardly an AEW thing. The whiffed punches was horrible. It happens when using locals as extras sometimes. I guarantee they'll be better vetted next time. Since you obviously didnt see it, that whole show ending angle was terrible (there ya go). Who was the biggest money mark locally (that didnt get in the ring). In terms of promoters getting in the ring, you're conflating money mark with wrestler/promoter. And you're subtly buyring all of them with remarks like "living their fantasies". When an active wrestler is also a booker, they either book themselves too strongly or not strongly enough. I generally disagree with the practice but most indies are started by active wrestlers so what are you going to do. Outside of Ernie Todd, I cant think of any local promoters who egregiously put themselves in the ring (refresh my memory if Im missing out on anyone). Wrestling is rife with examples of non-wrestlers doing angles/matches and there is nothing wrong with the concept inherently. The execution is a different matter... ECW had a lot of bad workers. Lets not romanticize it. RVD was arguably their biggest star and he was as green as a wrestler as he was great athletically for a long time. What Paul did that WWE and WCW didnt, was give small great workers a shot (especially from Mexico & Japan when the big promotions thought they wouldnt draw in the US). But those guys were quickly scooped up by WCW. But WWE and WCW didnt horde talent back then. WWE has a massive, massive roster, some of whom they keep for the purpose of keeping them from AEW. Talent also wasnt paid like they are now. AEW has a really good roster but they've been on TV for literally 3 months. Their roster will get deeper as time goes on and contracts come due.

I have been teaching for 20 years - first as an EA then as a Teacher. I have yet to see a government who did not change one or more of the curricula as part of their mandate.

I said, "pardon?"

That's a big move by Hamilton. Masoli's expected rehab is supposed to last into the season, correct? So they could theoretically begin the season with Evans and than switch to Masoli.

She'd be in the Top 3 women in the WWE. Her feud with Sami Callahan was awesome.

Good chat is way better than a get, but like has been mentioned, it was ruined by a handful of people.

based on what?

the worst thing that ever happened to this site, was Jets fans who aren't Bombers fans found the site to use the chat function during Jets games and stuck around to use the site as a secondary Jets board. Ugh....that's when the chat really went to hell. It was really great at one time.

yeah, the chat isn't fun to use during games, whenever the Bombers suffer any minor reversal it's the ******* end of the world for some, which gets tiresome. If the chat had an ignore feature I'd use chat more. I tried to implement my own a few years back, but stalled out on it.

Certain people made it unbearable so I stopped caring to go chat.

Say it ain't so.... those are horrible.

okay Scheif and Helle are going to all stars https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/connor-hellebuyck-and-mark-scheifele-named-to-2020-nhl-all-star-game/c-313241646

Tessa Blanchard would be a HUUUUUUGE addition to the AEW roster. She could be the back the women's division rides on.

Chris Jones takes VP+GM job in Montreal?

The stupidest thing they could do is mess with our uniforms. The only thing I’d like to see is for them to get rid of the blue shoulders on the whites.

I finally got a chance to see the movie and now scrolling through this thread. I won’t make any comments, but just something that went through my mind at the end. I was a kid when A New Hope came out, so I was part of the generation that grew up with it from the start. Back then I remember Lucas talking about how he had nine movies planned. Then, after ROTJ when Lucas said he was done with it, I always thought “OK, we got three movies out of it”, and didn’t think there would be anymore. Then in the late 90's he announced the prequel trilogy, and after those it seemed like that was it. And now we finally got nine movies. The whole series has its ups and downs, good and bad, would have been nice if it had been planned from start to finish to make it more coherent. But I sat there during the closing credits and thought “wow – I never thought I would actually see nine Star Wars movies". It took 42 years to get there. Regardless of the quality of the whole series, I’m so glad that I got to see the end one way or the other.

Buzzwords like bold and progressive and targetting a new generation of fans just sets off alarm bells because you know that just means uglying things up for the sake of change. Don't **** with the classics.

New Era better not **** this up. Our uniforms are basically perfect right now. https://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/4-bold-predictions-canadian-football-2020/ 4. New Era ushers in a new era of uniforms Last year, New Era took over for Adidas as the CFL’s official on-field equipment provider. It was the first time New Era, best known for being the leader in providing baseball caps, was making game apparel. Thus, the uniforms themselves didn’t change that much. Other than a uniform and logo rebranding by the Montreal Alouettes and some subtle changes to the look of the Toronto Argonauts, the uniforms across the league were pretty status quo. Expect that to change. Now that New Era has a season under their built, expect the partnership to not only expand, but for new uniforms to be pretty bold and carry the CFL’s progressive mindset into the new decade by targeting a new generation of fans.

Also: Brandon Zylstra, Carolina: 6 REC, 96 YDS

Burris.

Or Ottawa. If any team learned the pains of not having a true no1 qb last year it was them. Both can't be gone soon enough. Alot with Maas and Hervey they are in the top tier of crap

and Nash Hutmacher wins the best name category!

An investor savvy enough to realize Vince is a screwing shareholders but not so savvy that he wants Vince to spend MORE time with wwe.

Season finale of Mandalorian was solid

I suggest the nutless monkey replace one of the local media voting on next year's Bombers outstanding player nominees.
