Free agency news
You think they keep all of them around? Unless Grigsby got some balls surgically added in the offseason he's not as good as the other two guys. Call me over sensitive but really beginning to think you don't like Grigsby. He gave us high hopes coming outta camp after.cottons injury... Then we realized he can't block, barely catch and is a lightweight when any contact happens... Any dislike is based upon his brutal season with us AND then blaming everyone but himself.. That's just incorrect... catching is one of the things he is good at... I believe there was even discussion around here about how effective is would be in the slot... His blocking was also very good. One of the factors sited by O'Shea for why he kept his job so long. It wasn't initially .. Willy took a lot of unnecessary shots while he sorted his sh@t out ..

The Free Money Thread
Geesus. If I could produce *ANY* sort of documentation about purchase during that time I could easily get more than the basic amount .. Computer .. yep. Printer .. yep. Memory module .. yep. Graphics card .. yep. DVD Player .. yep. Gaming Console .. yep. MP3 Player .. yep (had a Rio Diamond). I know for a fact that I've made those purchases during that time frame .. no way to prove it though .. doh!

New linebackers?
Lamar and Bass both have prototypical CFL MLB size... so that's start... What's really exciting about Bass is that he appears to have grown three inches since his pro-day. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=90582&draftyear=2013&genpos=ILB I think both Joe Lobendahn and Ryland Wickman clocked in around 5’10 / 5’11 .. both were effective for us in the middle ..

Drew Willy's presser today
Will never understand why they didn't do more, early in the season, to make an effort to improve the running game .. best friend of a young quarterback is a solid running game .. takes pressure off of him and keeps him from taking unnecessary shots.

What happened to ourbombers
at it's best it was pretty ******* epic, but that was a long time ago and a lot of those posters don't do the message board thing anymore. Back when men were men, dames were broads, and you could tell a moron that he was a moron without fear of repercussion. And pour me a scotch damnit!

Yes because the bonus money pool for undrafted FAs in the NFL is about $80,000. Thanks for that. By contrast, Brett Jones, who signed with the NYG received no signing bonus and despite the three year deal has no guaranteed money in his contract. But you can't turn your nose up at the $435k he's scheduled to make (at least in comparison to what he'd earn in the CFL).

2015 CFL Schedule
Huge. Two late season games against Ottawa? Yes please. Depending on how (dys)functional Ottawa is this year .. those two, potentially standing padding games at the end of the season are a gift ..

Doug Brown tweeted that Watson asked to be traded so the cost/benefit may not have been the main reason he's gone (I'm sure it played a part in it though). Probably didn't ask to be traded .. rather .. he was likely told he was being shopped and asked his preference .. Watson indicated that he'd want to go back East ..

Bombers trade Cory Watson to Saskatchewan
I see 2, 11, 15, 20, 29, 38, and 46. Traded 35 (which we acquired from Sask in the Neufeld trade) to Hamilton for Brohm. Traded 55 to the Argos for Portis. We just traded 26 and I have no idea where we got it. Thanks. Had a brain fart going into the second round (9 instead of 11), chalk it up to a lack of caffiene. 4 picks in the first three rounds .. that's gold .. especially in this draft.

I read this on twitter this morning too... this one blew my mind.... Getzlaf is good, yes... but that is a ludicrous amount of money to spend on a 3rd rec... Well .. let's be honest here .. cap management has never been Taman's strong point .. can't see how this is going to help that perception .. Insane amount of money for Getzlaf.

Bombers trade Cory Watson to Saskatchewan
Loved Cory Watson when he was on the field .. epitomized the way this game should be played .. best of luck to Cory going forward. That said .. I think we made out like bandits in this trade.

We interrupt your childish ongoing pot shots at the Riders for this public service announcement: The Riders at least won the grey cup in 2013 unlike the Cats who have lost 2 in a row. Are you going for a three peat this year? You're aware of which forum you're on, correct? Shots at the Riders are encouraged, expected and welcomed. In fact, that's in the disclaimer when you register for an account here! /innocent look

NFL semi final
Three phases to a football game: offense, defense and special teams. If, as a team, you've given up a TD in overtime it means you've ceded the entire length of the field. You want a chance to win? Go play defense and get the ball back. Hell, hold the other team to a field goal and get the ball back. Don't expect a shot if you completely **** the bed at the most inopportune time. The Packers had a chance to get off the field. They had Seattle 3rd and 7 .. a favourable down and distance .. and a situation where GB had been dictating play most of the afternoon. Instead they gave up back to back 35 yard bombs for a score. The rule is fine as it is.

TRADE HIM! Seriously if we can get the Evan Gill rights from the Ticats for him. I will do that. Pruneau for Watson? Seriously though .. I'm a huge fan of Cory Watson .. love this play style .. it's just a shame that injuries are starting to become more and more prevelant .. but that's the thing with soft tissue injuries ..
