Had a buddy send this to me.

I'm 41 and still waiting for it to kick in. I'll tell you that at 27 I was having a LOT of fun and not even thinking about maturity...

Every attempt of 20+ yards for Fajardo. Yeah, put all your hopes on Duke and keep on chucking 'em Fajardo!

If that Joey story is true. Fans should boycott the team until Brock is fired. That is absolutely a disgusting thing to do.

TD celebration!

He was playing in the slot against BC (which I loved seeing). Hopefully that's where we see him going forward.

Say what you guys will about Fajardo, but the guy doesn't throw picks past 45 yards

Imma laugh hard when McKnight absolutely goes off vs Edm....ha ha ha.

Oh My God What a POS

Bauming made a point that really is the only relevant take: As fans, you can ***** all you want, but the coaches watch hours and hours of film on these guys and know who's going to be the best fit for the game. They know a hell of a lot more than the fans do.

The most confusing part of this article might be the first statement... "Entering the season as many people’s Grey Cup favourites, the star-studded Edmonton Elks..."

Why do all these things happening feel like it was 20 years ago? Man Covid-19 has certainly distorted time in a weird way!

What a weird season 2019 was. Chris Matthews gets stabbed, Nichols goes down, Harris gets suspended, the meltdown in TO, the snow storm game, Gaitor leaving/kicked off the team, Collaros coming in. And that was just the regular season

Because the infraction occurred in Mb., Lawler will require an appt. with AFM's IDP (impaired drivers program). There he will receive an assessment and be involved in educational workshop(s). Anything further will require additional investigation. He will also receive a fine and be subject to license suspension. There are many different types and intensities of treatment (rehabilitation) he could choose to be involved in, both in, and out of province.

Kids are fine. I wasn't using that money or time or sleep for anything anyways.

they only get pay during half the year too, its basically like a regular person losing almost a month of salary. Quality player, great person. No matter how his career goes, he has done the team and city proud.

Ryan Smith he could catch the ball without even looking at it lol.

How dare you bring facts into the argument !

Okay, Tommy Joe Coffey, Hal Patterson, Nik Lewis, Allen Pitts, Geroy Simon, Milt Stegall, Craig Ellis, Terry Greer, Mervyn Fernandez, Tony Champion, Joe Pop, Brian Kelly, George McGowan, Earl Winfield, Terry Evanshen, Ben Cahoon, James Murphy, Tom Campana, Darren Flutie, Rhett Dawson. Tom Scott.

No love for Kamau Peterson or Kito Poblah?

I'm pretty proud of MBB today. We can be fragmented as a forum on a lot of issues but I think we all understand the gravity of this situation and I don't see anyone downplaying it. We may not agree on the punishment but we're not dismissing this behaviour as acceptable.

@DarrinBauming · 2h Watching now, Wolitarsky looks no worse for wear and is working with the first-team O. Kelvin McKnight just pulled in TDs on back-to-back plays as Collaros runs the goal line offence.

Meh, would have preferred to have the veteran slot presence of Rosevelt in the lineup. McKnight hasnt done much of anything to stand out in the 3 games he's played. And at 5'9" i expected him to be a bit more of a burner/deep threat.

These experts are still out there trying to sell this as though it was plausible.

Haha and Eddie Steele is the problem

Glad Woli appears all right. Would prefer Naaman over McKnight.

touch down, winnipeg blue boomers!! 😆

He's a high 4.5 guy. It's pretty fringe speed. His field speed is a bit better than that number, similar to demski, but he'd be on the mid to slower end of imps on most any cfl wr core. He has a really well tuned stride. He's clearly put a ton of work into it. He changes gears better than most any one. He uses the speed cut, and pressure step expertly. Like milt, he's maximized his physical tool set to an exceptional degree. He doesnt have the quickness to make guys miss from a stand still (like blink), or the acceleration to gash through cut back lanes (like stokes), but his top gear is pretty good. With his ability to create cushion and his top gear, past the 40 yard mark, he can escape guys who are faster than him. He isnt a speed tool guy. He isnt a guy you could toss a screen to and watch him run away from the entire defense and score, or out run an angle with just speed. He isnt explosive and able to jump cut to make defenders look stupid. He's a smooth, crafty, professional wr. If lucky had his polish and craftiness, (or if darvin had luckys speed tool) he'd be a pro bowl wr. Its kind of funny, we have such freak athletes at DB and on D, but at wr we look for a totally different package. the 5 fastest players on our team are all on defense. Kyrie probably out run all of our wrs in the 40. Grant is explosive with great acceleration and top end speed. But nick taylor is easily our fastest guy. He'd roast any of our wrs in a foot race. even grant. Idk. On one hand I can kind of get why he was fired. But on the other, he doesnt work for the elk. In this situation steele comes off sympathetic for being honest and reporting the truth. The elk come off poorly but the radio station comes off smelling like a turd imo.

Steele said the issues with the Elks starts at the top. And I think anyone who has been paying attention knows that to be true. Not surprising he was canned, but I think it speaks to what he was saying as well.

Bobby gorgeous and Terry Vaughn aren't getting nearly enough mentions in this thread.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I guess that's the thing. You see what other teams and you say "good move" "nice addition" or what ever with out the temperance of "but", "yet" or anything else... Yet with the Bombers, it's always a compliment with the "but, yet" or whatever else... I think you're the Blue Bomber's hard to please father or Tiger dad. And that's a good thing, it means you care a **** tonne about the Bombers and hold them to a higher standard. Well, that's my impression. T"iger Dad" Burgess 😁

Dude you forgot one of the weirdest things... We surrendered 21 points unanswered to MTL and choked the game away.... And clinched a playoff berth doing so.

You know what I hate? Pants!

87.2 efficiency rating right now is proof positive...midway point in the season is a good measuring stick...compared to 113.6....111.11... and 90.6 for Reilly, Zack and Adams who have played all games, MBT and Harris who have played 5 and 4 have 110.3 and 99.7, and Evans and Maier are at 101.7 and 99.4 (though only 3-4 games each) Also that 7 TD to 8 INT ratio just validates it more...guys a back-up...cut and dried, And Duke is coming from a lousy BILL's camp where he was slowest guy there, and basically couldn't get open, he will be a nice toy but not take them anywhere they already haven't ventured to this year...

10/43 344 yards 1 TD 7 INT Yowza

That is...wow. Yikes.

It seemed personal. I will never forgive him for busting out in Edmonton

Overpants or underpants? Or both?

some roster (and other) thoughts from Our Man Tait: https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/10/05/quick-hits-week-10-day-1/

One vote for George Costanza

To also put this into perspective, the guy who maimed my mother for life had his drivers taken away for 1 year. Then he had to pay a very high cost to get it back, 2-3 grand. His parents paid it. He didnt miss any days of work or get fired. He wasnt arrested or charged. I lived in a small town and went to school with his younger brother, and at an earlier point he dated my sister. He bitched and moaned endlessly to all who would listen about not having his license and the cost of his insurance. My ex's dad got soo many tickets and DUI's they took his drivers permanently. (he was intoxicated and flipped his truck on a back road in the middle of summer for the "final straw") Only he drove long distances for work. And his boss hired a high end lawyer who was able to get it knocked down so he could drive for work for 3 years then got his full license back. They listed his residence as his cabin, and since he worked all over basically every car ride could be considered work. I can share too many stories like that. I take DUI very seriously, and personally. Our society does not. Drive around the south east of the province and youll see more intoxicated drivers than drivers on their phone on the weekend. Most people arent good or bad. Every one makes a bad decision every now and then. Lawlers actions past this point will forever come under a greater deal of scrutiny. If he has a minor issue, he may get passed over completely by the NFL and miss out on his window. Half way through this year he's on track to get an NFL deal. If this went worse, he couldve been out of football for good. Id say the punishment, and potential further punishment is in line with the crime. Far, far more so than it is for most civilians.
