Depth Chart - EDM @ WPG - July 17th
I am a little surprised to see Kelly listed on the Depth Chart, I thought he had been ruled out. Would have expected him on the 1 Game I.R, and someone else added to the roster.

I really appreciate this news, due to other commitments we gave our tickets to some friends and will be catching the game on the tube.

Comparative analysis - How bad is the Bombers OL?
Thanks to everyone that puts the effort into providing detailed analysis. I can only provide my on anecdotal evaluation. I completely agree with everyone that the O-Line needs improvement, simply by the number of times I find myself holding my breath hoping Willy gets up off the turf and returns to the huddle.

Should The CFL Impose Cap Limits On Amount Of Flags Officials Can Throw?
The refs don't create the penalties the players do. They have the hardest job on the field and are the lowest paid ones out there. Anyone hear how the Ump that got taken out last night is doing? Would really suck to not be able to work at your real job Monday after getting hurt doing your part time job. You want better refs? Find the money so these guys can train and do this full time not part time.

Herb Zurkowski's article about Bob Irving
I had never heard anyone else do live radio play by play until a couple of years ago we were in the States listening to the broadcasts on Sirius. It was then that I realized we really are lucky to have Bob broadcasting the Bombers.

I am just surprised he actually has seen the hit Do you really believe he has or is he just jumping on the twitter band wagon?

Turf Laid Down In Ottawa
I look at those pictures and wonder where will people park, how do they get in and out? As someone that has lived there do you have any insight?

Week 2 CFL Schedule
I agree with those thinking Sask will have a hard time against the Argos. We all know the team we beat last week is better than they looked. Ray will be out for revenge and I will gleefully accept it at the Riders expense.

[MERGED] CFL ON DEMAND / TSNGO
It's driving me crazy that every other game from this week is scheduled to be replayed on TSN2 but the greatest Bomber game in 3 years is locked away in purgatory.

Improving fan experience & traffic flow after games
I heard in a previous interview that this Rum Hut will be portable. Will start the game in the Tail Gate area outside Gate 2 and then move to the smoking area at the North End. You will also now be allowed to take your drink with you when you go to smoke.

Gary Lawless on Bombers roster
Just finished reading the article on the Free Press site, decided to come here and see if there was any discussion on it yet. I thought it was well balanced (not negative) but nothing that hasn't already been discussed here. It is reassuring to hear such high praise for guys like Peach and Thomas, Monday had me a little worried about the D-line but I am a little less concerned now. Well, concerned less about the people, the scheme still has me nervous.

Doug Brown does it again?
I checked in here a couple of times today and expected to see some ranting on Doug's CBA related column this morning, couldn't even find any new action in the CBA thread (mods feel free to join this with that if you feel it should be). Is Doug intentially being an alarmist or is there actually a real chance of job action by the players? Just when I was starting to get excited about the season... http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/good-news-blue-may-not-lose-a-single-game-in-2014-250733011.html

Selinger promising to put fan-elected board in place
It pains me to suggest it but I like what I know about the Rider's ownership model. As I believe it, the team sold shares and the shareholders vote on the board of directors. The board of directors doesn't have a say in day to day football operations, just responsible for putting the right people in charge and managing the business. If WFC sold shares that money could pay off the debt and we would truly become a community owned team.
