We can criticize a lot of things about the Big Blue...but we can't say they don't do well at recruiting DBs.

I have zero confidence in their ability to fix things

Presenting a typical scenario inside the command centre as a pass interference non-call is challenged: Reviewer 1: Oh yeah that looks like pass interference to me. Reviewer 2: Yes it does, I agree. Reviewer 3: Yep that's pass interference. 1: But is it clear and obvious? 2: We have to keep in mind we're looking at it in slow motion. 3: Right. That's unfair to our officials. In real time, it was close. If it was CLEAR AND OBVIOUS, the officials would have called it! They are pros. 1: I agree. It could be clearer and obviouser. 2: Yes. It looks like pass interference but for me it's not clear and obvious enough. 3: So we're all in agreement. There was pass interference but it was not clear and obvious enough. Therefore the non-call stands. Great work gentlemen. 1, 2, and 3 in unison: We deserve a raise!

In cricket, the command centre (equivalent) reviews the play live and explains their decision to everyone in the stadium and viewing on TV. I would like to see that level of transparency. Explain what you're seeing (and what you can't) and the decision (outcome).

There are plenty of things every day that I would happily classify as woke garbage. This isn't anywhere near it. Even a little bit. I liked the Eskimos. I liked the name, the history, etc. I was bummed that it had to go. But ultimately, it's a name that hurts certain people who would have been traditionally described as "eskimos" and as far as I've seen, nobody anywhere who would have been traditionally described as an "eskimo" has popped up to say that it is inoffensive, that they love the name and they'd hate to see it go. So it gets firmly placed into the "this name sucks" category.

Calgary we have a Houston problem … 😉

Thank you Masoli....Crum doesnt win that game for them Snag that win now this weekend and we sit in 3rd....and I assume Rider's lose....the return of Harris is a big whooptydo...take out Hamilton next week...could easily be sitting alone in second with the series tie breaker over the lions and Stamps

The people who broke it can't be trusted to fix it.

Go Montreal. Also for your viewing pleasure

yup...he prob doesnt want that stipulation...or any ongoing counselling either to be allowed to play....so this yr could be a wash for him...if not totally T.O would be dumb not to try and pry Vaj out of B.C also...

I always ask myself, if Edmonton were an expansion team looking for a new name, would Eskimos even be an idea or option? No, it would not come close to being an option.

Or at the very least allow audio feed of their discussion at the Atco trailer they are using as a command center...then we can hear it live and make sense of how utterly incompetent they are at times....that alone may even make them a bit more conscious that people are listening and less apt to make the stupidest decisions...and if not....would make good comedy interludes as to the schmucks they employ

yup...they will see the balance of the odd "key" pic....amongst some of the others is far out weighed by the times he gets abused, and the tackles he whiffs on....Bang definitely aint worth the buck there Bonds for us....you only here is name for most part when he makes a solid or a big play.....not from being burned...Same with Ford....solid as solid can be on corner's here...and both can tackle too and play physical

For crying out loud…. No one is saying put Murphy in the lineup because he’s the best option. It’s a way to keep Adams on the roster. That’s it. Adams should be playing. Period.

Even if it isn't, can almost guarantee he screws up again...

Interesting to say the least....is this the last we seen of him??

Agreed, my comment was tongue in cheek about some folks getting swallowed up by "woke" and the scary times it's sure to bring

Not 2024 related but the Bombers released the seating map/pricing for the 2025 GC. Almost identical pricing to what they charged in 2015, with a couple more price points (7 sections vs 5 sections).

Calgary fans now realizing why Winnipeg had no problem letting him walk...

But all teh picks!!!!!

massoli is still good to bad he had such bad luck with the injuries

Is that for the entire season or his career?

This one is on my list

Watched Bad Monkey the other day with Vince Vaugh , very enjoyable and can't think of a actor more perfectly cast. 😊😄

If you want the STM discount, you must commit to 3 more years.

The cricket reviews are more straightforward, but I would like to hear the command centre's decision-making process. I think that's reasonable. But, yeah, I would anticipate that the TSN announcers would have to decode their chatter to explain what they were seeing.

Bare minimum, I'd like them to say that when they aren't overturning the call on the field due to the video being inconclusive.

https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/new-owner-thompson-says-edmonton-will-keep-elks-moniker~2977810 Oh ohhhhh looks like they're staying woke

They've been using it all season thusfar. I can't believe that that team is 6-2-1.

Houston got beat bad on two plays that were RB penalties too. He's not a good CFL DB.

but that would fix about 90% of the problems tho....we can't have that

Too much time for that. Calgary's OL is a horror show.

Bad play call… go for the FG or through the end zone.

Not hearing anything in there about simply not being a bunch of blind, incompetent jack-wagons

I heard she out ran him.

Good Commentator Lapo: breaks down passing concepts crisply, makes me smarter. Bad Playcaller Lapo: "I always run on 1st and 5 and then again on 2nd and whatever!"

Masoli looking great... happy for him.

Lapo is so nice to have as color...straight up football talk with ability to explain things not only to the uneducated fan..but the educated Rock...runs hard...love that...and for Masoli not having played in 3 yrs...he's looking like a savy vet...and looks like he dropped..80 pounds which helps

Nobody had said he should start. We’re talking roster spots only. if you bring Murphy on as the backup receiver, then you can take Johnson off the roster and start Lucky and Lawler. Keep Adams on and take one of the CDN d-linemen off

Easy for me. Move Haba on PR if you really want him or cut him. Leave Adams on the roster. Haba is a very borderline CFL player. We should still be beating the bushes for edge help. Adams and Woods have been quite impactful. Haba for Adams = weaker pass rush and weaker overall DL. If you get injured every 2-3 games you play yes you can lose your job to injury. That's happened to Haba. And then he steps up and bombs it downfield because the pocket isn't being collapsed.

I've been wondering if that's any good... I generally don't really trust streaming movies. Good to hear it might be worthwhile...

Why is the rum always gone?

SLO-mo, repeated replays as desired, many camera angles, access to rule book, experienced staff, numerous sets of eyes, unlimited time. The higher standard should be the minimum. Besides the decision announced by the head ref, they should be compelled to provide a justification by real time tweet, cutting to the booth or other method for the decision to hold them accountable. Let them incompetent Bastages answer with their face and not some hide in the booth thoughtlessly absurd anonymity.

Masoli definitely looks in better shape then his return from injury last year. Last year looked not ready before getting reinjured

Well, the Liquor Mart approach could make a difference - but then they'd have to pay a decent wage...

They're fine. Same sugar rush, some brain freeze

The best! Like I mentioned before...former Bomber in it..."the hitman" Patrick Hinton...r.i.p

So on the Coach's show, O'Shea said the league told him tha the Toronto interception that he challenged should have been called as DPI. He also said the league will be calling delay of game penalties against teams that call a time out when they dont have one. If they called that against the Argos then the Bombers probably would have won.
