Eternal optimist

A 3rd round CFL pick would be a very, very hard sell. Riders are stupid, but even they aren't that stupid. If Jones really wanted him out, he'd just cut him loose. I'd agree that Glenn is a better backup than Durant, but I think people are overestimating Durant's ability to bargain in the league right now - if he's relegated to backup status now, most teams are pretty stable at the position. A quick rundown of the current backup status for each team (I've bolded who I think would've made offers to him) Calgary - Buckley seems to have 2nd string down, besides they seem to have no problem digging up QBs. Edmonton - Signed Glenn - no need for another backup Winnipeg - We really needed a backup Sask. - He got run out of town here a few years ago B.C. - They have Lulay, but he could be done... Toronto - Argos acquired James Franklins' rights - even if Ray retires, Fajardo seems okay. Montreal - He just got released here Hamilton - Maybe - but they seem set on Manziel sweepstakes... Ottawa - I could've seen him going here too. Coming off another bad year - I don't think Durant would've been able to ask for too much. If we didn't overpay for him, I think it's a good signing.

Wait... what? 1. What would you give up to get Adams? It'd be a tough sell to our rival, especially for a player in the most important position in the CFL. I don't think they'd be interested in Davis or LeFevour. 2. Cato played 30 games for the Als over the 2015/2016 seasons - the Als were 6-12 and 7-11. Not only that, he's a guy that is known to have attitude issues, and you want to bring him in as a bench warmer? 3. Glenn (38) is even older than Durant (35). Besides, for contract negotiations, if you're pinching pennies, who would you rather negotiate a price with? - Glenn - who just finished another year leading a team into the playoffs, known as the best backup in the business right now. - Durant - Just released from tire-fire city, coming off some of his worst years. End of the day, management recognized that Davis/LeFevour aren't going to cut it if Nichols goes down. They tried for Glenn, he asked to much - so we got Durant instead.

By no means one of the greatest moments of all-time but for me, personally, one of the best bomber moments was their 4th quarter comeback in 2010 in overtime against the B.C. Lions when they were down 32-14 with about 10 minutes left in the 4th... got season tickets the next year and haven't looked back. Here's a link to the highlights if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8fPebMdPI

We have 10 Grey Cup championships right? Okay well those are my top 10 greatest bomber moments then... even though I've never seen any of them.

Isn't all pre-season time garbage time? Also - fun fact: The 2017 Cleveland Browns went 4-0 in pre-season.

Methinks thou sets the bar too high.

Throw a pick-6 for every CFL team?

I know we'll never really know exact amounts, but it'd be interesting to compare how much Denmark was making when he returned compared to when he was shipped out.

Any doubts I had of you being a father have been successfully extinguished. That is dad-level punnery.

Scaling back of the fishing expeditions was good... I think the only gripe I had this year was the 'Riders "injuries"... but there really is no effective way to police that unfortunately. The only thing I can think of that could possibly work would be limiting the number of injury timeouts a team has... but that would still be a very thorny situation, the PA wouldn't like it, and it would only be a matter of time before a player attempted to play through an on-field injury if their team was out of timeouts. tldr; No changes of note?

Say what you will about the schedule, but the Bomber brass actually took fan feedback regarding weeknight games and changed something. One thing I like about Miller's regime is suggestions don't seem to fall on deaf ears as they have in the past.

This.

Neat!

Ahem.. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Stampeders with another choke job...

I was less than 1 when the Bombers last won a Grey Cup so... (d) None of the above

I think this statement speaks more of the garbage coaches between O'Shea / Ritchie as opposed to complimenting O'Shea...

Is it June yet?

Gotta disagree with you there.... spending time on a burnout like Carr is time and resources wasted that could be spent scouting a younger rising star. Not to mention it makes us look like idiots... remember how much everyone here was laughing at the 'Riders when they brought in Vince Young? On top of that, nothing came of it, I don't think Young even dressed a game for them... It is unfortunate, but football is a business and as fondly as some of us remember Greg Carr in his prime - it's time to move on.

For others that are curious, Greg Carr bounced around the Arena Football League after leaving the CFL in 2013. He was even named rookie of the year in 2014 (in the AFL). He is currently listed as inactive on the Washington Valor roster.

It's too bad those those jerseys missed the mark. I think they would've actually looked alright if they just had some specks of gold in them or something. As is, they look awful and remind me too much of an Argos uniform. I do find it funny how many people I see at games with Drew Willy versions of that jersey though...

Too deep.

Well...I guess the call Maas made was at least a realistic field goal? Imagine if he had made that call on a 61-yarder haha... I think people are also underestimating how much respect he was giving Calgary's offense in that scenario. I think he would look at a tie game with that much time as ample opportunity for Mitchell to march the field for the walk-off FG anyways?

Do you mean 61-yard? I know Medlock had a bad year, but I think he could make a 1-yard FG....
