  1. I find it difficult to blame a guy for walking away when his pay is cut to that degree, especially at a point in his career where he must already be weighing the potential benefits of playing versus the costs to his personal health. It is also my understanding that a PR deal can be walked away from at any point, so he wouldn't have had to retire to get out of his contract. But I'm not sure of the details on that.
  2. I guess L'Damian Washington would return to the roster, or Gary Chambers would get a shot. Hopefully Thorpe plays though, he has been a valuable part of the offence.

    Yeah, Jermaine Gabriel got injured this week so they needed some depth.
  4. I didn't even know that happened. Was there a report of this?
  5. It would seem that this was not a good draft pick

    At one point in the 4th quarter it was 9-3. Maybe that's when he began to wonder.

    They said at the beginning of last season that the refs warned teams they would be looking for hands to the face blocks. Seems our nasty boyz are the ones who get called for it the most. Whatever, **** the rules, we're the meanest team in the CFL. Eye gouging, nut punching, body slamming sons of guns, just like Mike O'Shea was.

    That's what I'm thinking. Year 1: 7.0 2: 7.5 3: 7.5 4: 8.5 5: 8.5 6: 9.0 7: 10.0 8: 10.0 8 years, $68M for an $8.5M AAV. Seems somewhat reasonable. Only possible downfall is if he becomes a band-aid, locker-room cancer or a cokehead. The skill is definitely there.
  9. I think the chance of a crossover was almost 100% already. The real question now is.... will the Riders have a better record than the second place team in the East and get screwed out of a playoff spot??? God I'd love to see that.

    Tough break for the Argos but can't say everyone didn't see this coming
  11. Atomic replied to Rich's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Yeah I got it.

    Uranus opens and closes to let out wind. Come on.

    Indeed. Nichols is next.

    I just don't have a good feeling about this game. Ottawa is ready to break out... just like everyone is saying, they are better than their record. On the other hand, something special happened to the Bombers last week and it may have brought the team together. Mo Leggett returning is another plus. Ottawa has had trouble with killer mistakes. If we can keep this game close, I believe our defence or special teams will come up big when we need them. Just don't let Ellingson and Harris move the ball up and down the field. That's what worries me most.

    The second option. Sorry.

    There is something weird going on with specific poster notifications. Like if I try to say something to someone it doesn't work @Rich Did you get that notify ^ ? Oh well it worked when I edited. But when I make a post, I type the @ and select a name, it looks okay. But then then it gets stripped when I click save.

    Nah man I don't get it either. @Fan Boy is on another level from all of us.

    How much money does a potato farmer earn??

    I didn't even know that it was weird for an HC to wear shorts until the dusty old balls in the media mentioned it.

    So if bae asked you if she is lit AF you'd say no?
  21. I'll wait for more than one game before I decide if I like it. Right now I still don't think it was the right move, but I'm willing to wait and see.
  22. Ignore? No. I think he would listen to arguments. And I'm sure there are daily discussions with both Walters and Miller. But ultimately the decision would be his, and his alone. I don't believe there was ever a directive from above stating "Willy gets one more chance and then he's done" and MOS went along with it even though he disagreed. I don't believe that happened.
  23. REDBLACKS!!!!! should go back to their day jobs
  24. So many great clips.

    Maybe but compare their win-loss records over their career so far. BLM is the best until proven otherwise, IMO. Anyways my point still stands even if he is a close second to Reilly.
