for a lot of those bad years, no matter how badly we were getting crushed, there was always hope when Jovon returned a punt. Guy sparked so many rallies over the years. had a huge role in the Casey Printers retirement game .. played out of his mind during that brief hopeful three game win streak of 2009 .. along with guys like Terrance Edwards he was one of the very few reasons to watch the Bombers for a long stretch. Thanks for your time as a bomber, Mr. Johnson and all the best for your next act.

Voter turnout in some states for their primary was double what it was in 2016. Voting against Trump will be enough of a factor to get a good turnout.

Much better effort by BC to get fans interested

Racist, serial sexual abuser, rapist, misogynist, moron, criminal. Which qualities do you like the most?

Lots I don't know about the inner workings of American politics, but from my viewpoint: Trump and the Russian bots want to push the "they'll cheat Bernie out of it" narrative on Twitter, and they created the Biden scandal around impeachment, which seems to have legitimately hurt Biden at the start of the primary push. This tells me they fear Biden as the opponent a lot more than Sanders, so that leaves me wanting to root for Biden. As has been said, a Biden-Trump election focusses on Trump and what America's soul wants to be. Not sure that results in a Biden win, but it will certainly crystallize what America really is (if 2016 didn't already open eyes as to just how misogynistic and racist and old-boy establishment capitalist it truly is). A Sanders-Trump campaign is much more about capitalism vs socialism, and the US has been pretty well indoctrinated to hate socialism as Evil Empire old state Russia and Cuba communism. Vastly overblown, but simple fear tactics are remarkably effective in the USA in swaying the general populace. Don't agree with those who say that the safe Biden choice guarantees a loss where we need a radical Bernie shift to energize progressives. Young people flock to Bernie, and that may be the future at some point, but young people for all their (some will call it "woke") activism don't for the most part follow that up with actually getting out and voting. Older folks get out and vote, which is why the old white men so often are left standing. Dems need women and the African-American vote, and Biden carries that. Hopefully Bernie supporters won't be butt-hurt sore if he loses again and refuse to vote. They cried foul because Hillary took all the superdelegates even if Bernie led the polls, but the simple fact is that she still beat him 34-23 in primary contests, had a 450 delegate lead if you remove the superdelegates, and won the popular vote by 3.7 million in their run-off. Bernie backers need to get over the "he got cheated last time, and they'll screw him over again this time" mantra, he lost no matter how you look at it. He has created a movement, but right now America does not need radical to fight radical. Biden keeps pushing the "re-claim America's soul" narrative and it can work. Let AOC lead the march towards and more social democracy when she has a few more years under her belt - America could much more easily buy into her campaign than Bernie's IMO if that is the future. As for dirt, all Trump really can play up with Biden is Burisma and covering for his offspring who got a cushy job because of who his dad is, and do Republicans really want to push that narrative in a one-on-one fight, given what is happening with Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr. and Eric? Biden could easily say, "OK, let's open up that can of worms, but for both candidates - show us all how clean your familial dealings through the Presidency have been" and Trump can't refuse to play along but continue to push for transparency from Joe. With Bernie, it will be "socialism will destroy everything that America is" and Repubs are remarkable - I won't call them patriots - but flag-wavers for sure, who chafe at the idea that anything star spangled red, white and blue is less than the most awesome thing ever. Also, Obama will heartily endorse his former VP as the Dem pick, and it won't feel fake. Same with the Clintons. Dems need a recovery election right now (a course correction from Trumpism rather than a true "left vs right" debate) and Biden can offer that safety. But I agree that his running mate needs to be the spark for progressive change for the future. Warren might fit the bill nicely there.

Man, the officiating is absolute garbage.

We really need to let this thread die until a decision is made either way.

Canadian football is all about the bigger field and because of that I think the American game evolved differently. To score a rouge in the NFL game would be too easy. I can see why they wouldn't use it. The nuances and diversity of our game played on a big field makes it a very different game requiring a different skill set from the players and especially the kickers. You just don't see kickers with a skill set like Justin Medlock's in the NFL. A skilled kicker like that can completely change the outcome of a game in the CFL. Not so much in the NFL.

When nap time is over, we're going to be inundated with stories of yesteryear and the first time they heard of the rouge.

Not to mention, the poster made a great case for the stupidity of the alt right.

Hopefully they put out some kind of DVD/Blu-ray with season and Grey Cup highlights. That would be sweet! I still have the 1990 Bombers Blitz VHS! Anyone remember that beauty??

So I don’t mind it if it’s caught in the end zone and returnable then it gives the option of return or give up the point. But a straight miss that goes through I find silly. That’s a direct miss, doesn’t give an option for a return.

How about that rouge...!!?!!

But don't you find that single point adds a lot to the game? I'm not sure what's silly about it. To get that single point you have to drive the ball fairly deep into opposing territory. You also have to do a good job of containing the returner. I find it very exciting and it adds a new element to the FG when you realize it isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. If the game is tied and the field goal is missed but stays in play you have to get it out of the end zone or risk giving up that point. That point can cost you the game, or win it.

Been there done that..move along people there is definitely nothing to see here.

With health professionals like this..............Good Luck America

Please let us sign someone so we stop discussing whether a field goal is a ‘failure’...

When racist policies just aren't enough - vote for an actual racist!

Well, that silly rule has been around for 110 years & it has worked out pretty well. You don't like it, fine. I just get tired of hearing it's silly (as you keep saying) because it isn't. It's the Canadian game grounded in history. You change or take away any part of the Canadian kicking game & the result will be closer to the 4 down version of football in the States. I like both games. They have their own set of individualized rules that make them unique. The single point is here to stay. It won't be tweaked or changed.

Majority of American blacks vote Democrat. Stop the presses.

I'm pissed at the establishment too, but I'm terrified about what 4 more years of Trump can do to the world (not just the U.S.). What Sanders and Warren are proposing aren't actually radical, but real change takes time. The reality is there are a lot of people in swing states who hate Trump the person who will still vote for him cuz "soshulizm". Ten years ago, a Democrat could not call himself a "liberal" and single-payer healthcare was a pipedream. Look how far we've come. The democratic primary process isn't really that different than trying to figure out how to best use your non-Conservative vote in Canada. That's why we get Trudeaus and Chretiens instead of Laytons and Mays.

We got 5 guys with 20+ goals and barely playoff team. We need quality D!

Well I guess that's a pretty big indication of where he's going (dont watch if you dont like spoilers)

Just random but amusing.

Biden is simply the "business as usual" choice for the lobbyists and donor class. He won't rock the boat. Naturally the minute Sanders started to look like he might run away with it.....the ole establishment forces brought the money and endorsements flowing, just before Super Tuesday. Loosing Texas, in particular has put a brake on Sanders's momentum. Biden actually looked wide awake, speaking after the vote, last nite.....he is alright when married to the teleprompter, but speaking off the cuff, is a challenge. The VP slot for him is vital.

The Rugby roots... Once the anti-rouge-ists are allowed one concession they will keep coming until the rouge is eradicated from the Canadian landscape. As for the idea that the rouge “rewards failure” I would like to turn to Toronto Argonauts broadcaster Mike Hogan and his rebuttal via his Twitter account to such fallacy: “Going back to the game’s rugby roots, the rouge rewards the team for the 5-10 plays to get into a position to have the ball cross the goal line. It’s a reward for gaining field position, not for failure.” https://www.cfl.ca/2020/03/03/cauz-defence-rouge/

I'm scared to know how much this book is going to cost... because I will 100% be buying it.... I'm still recovering from Rage and Tool tickets going on sale so close together

Yup, that was a fun time. Wish they could have gotten it done for that group...

2020.03.03 - NSH loses VAN 65G 74P WPG 68G 74P

Came here again hoping for good news. No news.

I guess we need to wait and see but I can't believe we'd be any more timid throwing the ball than we were when Lapo was here. Now that Lapo is gone I think it bodes well for the likes of Adams, Demski, Lawler, Whitehead, etc. I also think #33 will fare a lot better and be a fresher, more effective player when everyone in the house doesn't know when he is getting the ball.

The only thing that's embarrassing is that he hasn't signed with us yet. Does he owe me anything? Absolutely not. However, and I may be a little biased, but I believe we are still the best team in the league and any player that's interested in winning a championship should run, not walk, to Mr. Walters' office and sign on the dotted line post haste before the money runs out. Since he hasn't done that, fine, but how comfortable is he going to be when we are stomping him and his team? I don't see how signing with us could be a mistake for him or make him uncomfortable. If it's about playing closer to home isn't Texas closer to Winnipeg than Toronto is? If it's about playing in the NFL then it's about the money and not about winning a Grey Cup. I've already stated that I'd be over the moon if he signed here. If he signs elsewhere he becomes the enemy and I'll look forward to watching my team kick his team's ass.

It does look like it has the potential to hold up for 29 years....

So going by that logic, can a team bomb a throw into the end zone? The ball made it into the end zone right?

Can't wait to see the finished product!

I'll never forgive Sleepy Joe for slowly dismantling Swaggerville...

I think it's funny suggesting Zach Collaros hasn't experienced "a little adversity".

Also:Rogue: noun, see "Nissan automobiles"

not sure I like your tone, suggesting adversity.....

******* nerds...

There is some point there. The point is not for missing a field goal by the way. The point is for not allowing the opposition to take the ball out of their endzone. When you look at it this way you are not rewarding failure.
