I'm taking Chad Simpson this week.

They started off great last year too.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you know if Bryant Turner has read any of the comments (past or present) and what he thinks of them? Pretty much a continuation from last season.

Tweets by Penton: Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk Isaac Anderson in the starting receiving corps this morning. Denmark still at wideout #Bombers Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk Starting DL - Mainor, Anderson, Frazier and Dexter Davis. But I think that may have been in practice because he later tweeted... Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk Alex Hall will play on Saturday. Aaron Woods will not. Dexter Davis makes his #Bombers debut. Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk Jade Etienne is back on the practice field today. Chad Simpson and Glenn January also back. #Bombers

I enjoy reading these Bryant Turner things but can someone explain how this whole thing got started.

IIRC Fantuz signed for a base around $180,000.

It hit Ford's hip on the hand-off - that's what caused the fumble.

But like he said, we did trade up to get the #3 pick to pick Pencer.

WOO HOO! I'm guaranteed to last until at least week 6!!

I can't believe that guy called Simon "moderately expensive" when he's raking in $170,000 for the season.

A quality control coach is involved mostly with off-field game preparation.

You would think they would play better once the brain started, wouldn't you.

Just because a player is on the 1 game IR doesn't mean he's injured.

Where did you hear this? The Bombers issued a statement saying Turner's injury is sprained chest ligaments and he is questionable for Saturday's game. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Bombers-Turner-back-in-city-questionable-for-next-game-214478941.html

The time-out was called to stop the clock before Whyte punted. He didn't exactly have a stellar day punting the ball so I would assume they hoped they would get good field position, run a play and, if successful, maybe try a field goal but as it turned out there wasn't enough time.

And with TSN switching things up so far with Cuthbert/Forde doing Eastern games and Black/Suitor doing West games it gives another reason for the Bombers to stay in the East.

Saw a report earlier that Turner is out of the hospital and on his way back to Winnipeg.

Edwards injured his shoulder and missed most of the second half. He is expected to be out for a week or two.

From TSN: After the game, Bombers defensive lineman Bryant Turner was being taken into the dressing room on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask. The team did not provide an update on his status. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=426970 Any updates on the post-game show? Edit: Apparently they took him to hospital as a precaution and he should be okay.

According to an article by the Canadian Press that's posted at CFL.ca, Simon isn't playing in the Riders home opener. http://www.cfl.ca/article/simon-out-ruled-out-for-riders-home-opener

Is there anyone in the Winnipeg print media (besides Tait) who knows what they are talking about when it comes to the CFL? In Tuesday's Sun Penton called Hefney one of the stars of week 1 because he had 10 tackles and was around the ball a lot. I really don't think it's too much to ask to have someone who is knowledgeable and unbiased covering teams in pro sports.

Andrew Harris

And the one who dropped a sure TD on the second last play of the game against the Argos.

It wasn't tampering. Buono said he had given the Eskimos permission to talk to Reilly before the trade. He did not give that permission to Mack.

How reliable is Green Buddah at RiderFans? He posted quite a while ago that Anderson is bi-polar and didn't take his meds on game day. If that's true then that would explain a lot about Anderson's behaviour that last game.
