Artie Johnson passed away on July 3 of this year. I enjoyed watching him on "Rowan and Martins Laugh In". Boy that was a long time ago.

I don't know?... I certainly didn't expect a double overtime win... but I did call a 5 point Bomber win, Montreal has always been a thorn in the side...

In my humblest opinion... The West -It's still Calgary's game to lose ~12 & 6 season. -It's going to be the battle for 2nd between Wpg and BC, this should be good! - EDM pulled off an " Error in judgment," but I think they will pull off 4rth in the west and be the crossover team again. -I just can't see Jones setting Sask on fire this year. There are just too many holes to fill, defense looks like they will be better, there are some great receivers, but the QB situation, and a suspect O-Line. 5 and 13 is the best I can see here. The East - The east could be a battle between Ott and Ham. But then injuries happen. So I will reluctantly call this a Tigercat 1st with caveats. -Toronto could pull a rabbit out their hat this season and pull off a 2nd place upset. -I think Montreal is still a mess. It's (still ) rebuild time.

How about... "Hey you kids get out of that Jello Tree!" Is that old enough?

Just a side thought, but I wonder how much the Canadian Dollar and the taxes play in these decisions.

Do you want to supersize that?

Let me know if he is planning to go on a cruise. I know some pirates.. ... from Saskatchewan... ...Just make sure he brings a lot of bling on the boat. It will be cheaper for me.

I'm not very good at this whole draft thing, but I will throw in my opinion on a possibility at the # 6 pick. First, I'm not sure that I agree with this statement, Harris is not done yet and this is a great time to bring in a national to develop. I was wondering which way we might be going since we let Lochard go? But I kind of think that with the strong showing from Johnny Augustine in the combine, I could see the Bombers taking him at 6th or 15th. He seems to be a highly rated prospect.

Yah! We'll probably end up with one of Hamilton's castaway's again!

Thanks Mr Dee, I love these reports.

I think I am going to have nightmares tonight, I gotta stop reading this post...

I have been considering something like this. I'm not sure if these reviews are really making the game any better, the fans seem to be getting tired of it. No reviews, the game is called live. We all make mistakes and so do the refs, just let them play!

No they are not. 3 out of 12 is a 25% chance versus a 1 out of 3, a 33% chance. You are the coach, you have 10 seconds. what do you want to do?...

So , if the play offs were held now, we would be the cross over team. Edmonton plays the Argos next week, well we can make the "DUH' pick on that one already. The Riders are off to the winning Lions team, and it seems like Jones is in " let's see what kind of players we got" mindset (which I think is OK), so it's lookin' pretty good for BC. And now we are going to TD place to put the RBs in their place, I'm worried.

Watermelon overdose? Perhaps?

Math is hard....

And on top of that, they just might be looking for a new GM and HC, and this is what your going to be selling them to jump on board. Kind of sounds like the 2012 Bomber mess...

This is kind of surprising, I read an article a few days ago (can't remember where) that stated how the viewer ratings for the NFL are down 20% this season. Always a good read DEE, keep up the good work.

Yeah, a little late to the parade but I found it.

As far as the fan draw for this game, I believe that really this was the premier game of last weekend. The top dogs of their respective divisions going at it. It was a game that I was looking forward to (along with the BB @ Mont.). As far the mic'ing of coaches and players, people probably tuned in out of curiosity.

I was just wondering how you guys felt about the coaches and players being mic'ed-up for the Stamps @ Tigercats game? Personally, I didn't care for it too much. I really believe that this is getting to be a bit too intrusive on the teams. It was tough to follow, the play by play guys would be yacking away, like they are supposed to do, then one of the mics would kick in and you miss the 2-3 words. Not that it really mattered, 99.9% of the fans (me Included) have no idea what they are calling anyway. The ones who do understand and are able to figure this out are the opposing coaches, I certainly hope TSN does not want to carry on down this road. Let the guys play.

No, we would never do anything like that! We would never hire managers who mess with salaries so we can't keep premier players (Taman). We would never release proven commodities so we could bring in some flash in the pan (Kelly). We would never let someone decimate our Canadian talent because well, I don't know how that happened (Mack). We're smarter than that... ... now. Sorry Ripper, this could get real ugly before it gets better.

You and a bunch of other Bomber fans! Even on TV it sounded like there was more cheering going on for the Blue Bombers than there was for the Argos

Thanks Mr Dee, it's a great read! You do a great job putting this together.

Do you have any links to any of this? I've pounded a few nails in my day and they're pretty tough!
