No kidding. I think it's funny when people pull the Labatte thing out like it's a major point for some kind of strong argument. "Look at how Taman went out and got him." Newsflash -- the same thing happened to Taman at the exact same time with Andy Fantuz going in the other direction. It had nothing to do with who the GM was. I could have signed Labatte if I was in charge of Saskatchewan. Just like I could have signed Fantuz if I was running the Ticats. Those guys were the two biggest free agents in recent memory. They both went home. Ho hum. I don't blame Taman for losing Fantuz, I don't blame Mack (or Lapolice) for losing Labatte. You're not going to win a bidding war against geography.

Instead of picking coaches for each position, let's focus on getting a quality head guy who knows how to surround himself with the people that fit his mantra. Burke is not that guy. Especially because, in my opinion, Burke doesn't even have a mantra. He is the epitome of a coach who seems to just be wingin it

No kidding. If they turn things around, they're more than welcome to stay. It IS quite possible, while not probable, that a switch will go on for our offense.

a) Buck hasn't been better calling someone a "dipshit" isn't going to fly, so let's not let that happen again please. c) Even if Buck had been better, I'd certainly hope that isn't the ceiling he's expected to reach as a 7 year CFL veteran.

WHY OH WHY do we keep accepting mediocrity from guys like Morley, Boatman and Denmark when the defense is a freakin revolving door if you aren't in top form.

sell it to me.

As much as I want to disagree, I can't. Our team sucks and while I don't know what the answer is, I'm sure not going to enjoy watching these guys try and figure it out.

How baked are you this afternoon?

why the hell are you teasing me? Consider this a written warning. Next time, I'll ban you. (just kidding)

sell it to me.

Had me worried. Feels weird that the game is late on a holiday though. I expected a 2 PM start.

What is depleted about BC's offensive line? Isn't it just Fabien out of the lineup?

If you do and you're willing to sell ... I'm interested. Men's M/L I'd prefer a blank but I'd consider anything I can get my hands on.

Here's what I don't understand. Would January-Greaves-Sorenson-Swiston-Pencer really be any worse at this point than January-Greaves-Sorenson-Morley-Boatman? Throw Swiston and Pencer into the fire like Calgary has done with Brett Jones or Edmonton has done with Matt O'Donnell and hey, maybe they surprise you. And if not, it's not like the guys we don't have in their spots currently are doing much better.

Let's go with ... Matthews and Sheets

Just saw that. They look nice. Maybe I'll pick one up before Labour Day.

I'm at the point where I'd probably let Belt Loops run our team if it meant a better chance at a Grey Cup.

It's a vote of confidence for Goltz, which he deserves. This is the proper way to develop a QB. He's had time to develop in our system and now they feel he's earned the job without having to deal with the same **** guys like Brink and Elliott did on a weekly basis. This is really the proper way to do it. Saying he's the starting QB for the rest of the year gives him a chance to work through issues without feeling like he is at risk.

A number of them. lol

I don't expect Goltz to do anything. But he shouldn't have to. Buck should be a better teammate. I'll be honest though ... the locker room is tired of this sideshow. The team as a whole has been ready to move on for a while.

agreed. There were plenty of games that Buck got hurt in where you could have easily justified pulling him for not performing.

Exactly. Like it or not, Pierce is basically telling people he thinks he is better than Goltz.
