It’s not about relief to owners. It is about making the cap truly equal. $8M / year in Florida is not the same as $8M / year in Winnipeg to a player after taxes. In Free Agency, those teams essentially have a higher cap to play with.
Curious if you love it enough to buy one? I’d say I’m indifferent on this jersey. Don’t hate it, but at the same time, I don’t find it compelling enough that it will be something I’d go out and buy. And if the majority of people feel that way, then it would have to be considered a failure as this is the primary reason teams do these jerseys Will be interesting to see how many of these we end up seeing around the city and at games
I think the issue in Montreal is also media driven. There would be reporters who only want to ask their questions in French. And if not, may not be kind to the club because of it Get a Translator? Or is media not as important and don’t have the impact they once did.
Congrats to MOBomerFan! Job well done and will be taking home a $50 Bomber store gift certificate.
It was a sellout. Empty seats are a symptom of the design of the stadium. Always a tonne of people at the rum hut and concourse. You can still see the game from there.
Happy to have Wheeler signed. He is your Captain. He has put up 78, 74 and 91 points in the last 3 years. High end production. Makes you wonder though if we come to regret that Little contract. Hopefully he can turn it around this season, but last season was a bit of a disappointment. Signing both these guys will cost us some of the younger talent coming in.
Picks this week need to be in by Friday @ 9PM Standings are below:
I do believe the original post was suggesting Tom Clements because he helped develop Aaron Rodgers. Not bringing in Aaron Rodgers.
Can't see them trading him, they are in compete now mode. Unless we are totally out of the playoffs come the trade deadline, he means more to this team now for a playoff push then future prospects. With where this team is at, keep him for the year and let him walk if he can't be re-signed.
Lets not bump threads from 2 years ago. It is confusing to people until they see posting dates and generally bad forum etiquette Plenty of other threads these things can be discussed.
Noose tightens, deflect to Clinton
As a "Season Ticket Holder For Life", we were invited to attend a Chalk Talk session with Mike O'Shea last night (anyone else here go?). He went over how the coaches prepare for a game, went through the post game film and teaching they would do with players, went through examples of the post game film and plays they would review, all with the most recent Ottawa game. For preparation against Calgary, he also gave some examples of formations and plays Calgary would do in other games, then show film from practice on how they prepare and practice for those things. Didn't hide from any questions from the crowd, was pretty open in his answers. Went out of his way to talk and engage the kids in the audience. Really got the feeling that once he starts talking about football, he could go on and on for hours. Was a fun time, and as a fan of the game who has never played at an organized level, great to see some of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on. Would be very illuminating to sit on these sessions regularly to get a better appreciation of the finer points of the game. Thanks to the Bombers, Wade Miller, and Coach O'Shea for setting this up, was a fun night. Edit: Moved my post over here since JCon started a thread for it.
Picks for this week need to be in by Thursday @ 6:30 PM. Current standings can be seen below:
Happy Birthday Bob!
Wikipedia says Osborne Stadium had a capacity of 7,800. Doesn't look like it would even be that high with those stands. Up close and intimate to watch a game though.
