Which CFL newcomer will make the biggest impact in Blue N Gold ?
McRath, Maurice Leggett, Leon Williams, and Mario Urrutia are all interesting prospects. Certainly whoever wins the starting MLB job will have a great chance at making an impact.

[MOVED] Lyle Bauer back in Manitoba - Politics, not football
Rule 3 from the Lefty handbook: When someone says something you don't have a response for, act offended and cry 'Politically Incorrect'! Too funny!

Thanks for the clarification guys.

You can't play AHL the year of your draft. It's either NHL or back to junior. I don't believe that's true? JC Lipon and Brenden Kichton were both drafted this year and played in St. John's....

No, you come on. This time, he relates just the story. That shows me you didn't read the article I'm talking about. Here: .http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Melting-snow-damages-new-stadium-254417861.html Far different take than Friesen. My mistake, I actually was looking at the wrong article.

Oh come on. Kives does the exact same thing Friesen does, but because he is not a sports reporter his target is the City of Winnipeg... not the Bombers.

Alright then. Bogo and Pav for Eberle and a draft pick. Yes, that will be fine.

There is no chance we could get Hall for that price. He's one of the best offensive players in the league. Those type of guys don't get traded for 2nd pairing dmen & subpar goalies. Yeah but Edmonton's management is confused and desperate. We should be able to take advantage in some way.

I wonder if we could move Bogo and Pav to Edmonton for a stud forward like Taylor Hall. Though I'm not sure who would take a chance on Bogo with him going through rehab yet again.

Is Hutch The Real Deal?
He has been pretty damn impressive. But we just don't know.... I mean, the guy was in the ECHL for a reason, right? Keep him in the organization, but don't make any plans around him being part of the Jets equation next season.

Bombers Ink two Canadians
Experienced bonafide starting non-import offensive linemen aren't just floating around out there. There certainly weren't any in free agency and you don't see teams trading their starting Canadian OL very often... or ever.

The NDP puts money directly in a lot of people's pockets. That's why they are in power and that's why they will stay in power.

Sorry guys but the NDP is not going anywhere any time soon.

Quentin Saulsberry?
From everything Walters has said, I really believe it will be Lavertu or Foucault. Whichever one Ottawa doesn't take. I don't think anyone else is even in the conversation.
-
Quentin Saulsberry?
That's all I can say about Evan Gill. If Ottawa takes Lavertu, and they are really sour on Goossen, maybe take Gill or trade down for a later first and a second if anyone is interested? I really don't see Foucault fitting our needs for 2nd overall either. He's a pipeline pick, and we already have some guys in the pipeline. Coombs is one hell of a gamble for a team like the Bombers to take IMO. Gill was a man amongst boys. But Coombs got you out of your seat... he was electric. Truth be told I'd be happy with Gill or Coombs if we can't get Lavertu.
-
Quentin Saulsberry?
All I can say about Anthony Coombs is that he was the best football player on the field at every Bison game I went to this year. He won't disappoint whichever team gets him. It would be a shame to pass up on him just to take another OL that won't see the field for a year or two.

Bombers sign 2 more imports
This happens every year you know that right? They have about 70 or 75 players at the start of training camp but rosters are only forty some players. You basically sign a 2nd team in the offseason then cut most of them before training camp is done. I know it's "supposed" to happen every year but I haven't seen this many training camp signings in a loooooong time. I can recall maybe half as many players signed last year and there is still almost two months till camp. It's just nice to see a change. They've gone in with full training camp rosters every year, just because you are choosing not to remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen. They did have the same number of players in the past... but there is a lot more turnover this off-season. Last off-season, we finished the season with so many guys on the injured lists that we almost had a full training camp roster already. Couple that with the fact that we re-signed almost all our practice roster players, and by the time the CFL draft rolled around, there were still only 15-20 new faces on the roster... compared to the 35+ that we already have this year, with the expectation of still signing a few more before the draft.

I find Paul Friesen as repulsive as the rest of you but I don't think you can pin this one on him. He's just doing his job. All the media outlets are talking about it. I just heard on the radio on my way home "And on CTV News, learn about the damage at IGF and how much the Bombers' stadium is costing YOU!!!"

The Ultimate Warrior, Dead at 54
Ultimate Warrior's speech on Monday Night RAW two days ago: "No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them bleed deeper, than something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever. "You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior. "In the back I see many potential legends, some of them with warrior spirits. And you will do the same for them. You will decide if they live with the passion and intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends as well. I am Ultimate Warrior. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans. And the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever." RIP!!

Paul Friesen @friesensunmedia 53m Breaking News: Stadium flooding exposes more design flaws at IGF. Around one-third of suites are flooded, source says. #Bombers Paul Friesen @friesensunmedia 51m Source says water from melting snow on roof flowing up against suite doors and through celings at IGF. #Bombers Paul Friesen @friesensunmedia 49m Source says repairs will be in the "hundreds of thousands." #Bombers CEO W. Miller downplays flooding as "a little water from spring thaw." Paul Friesen @friesensunmedia 49m #Bombers CEO W Miller says builder or designer, not team, will be on the hook for repairs or redesign. Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 47m I have a friend in construction who told me last year more problems may arise at Investors Group Field come its first spring. Sure enough. Paul Friesen @friesensunmedia 47m #Bombers CEO Wade Miller refused Sun's request to have access to stadium and see damage, first-hand. "You're not getting in there."

Keep Jokinen, Trade Kane?
Bottom line is that Kane will be our highest paid player next season and this year he was 7th in points and 6th in goals. Not good enough.

Right. Because humans have perfected engineering to the point that only earthquakes can ever harm any man made structure. Nothing else could ever go wrong.

Which part of the article wasn't factual? There is no opinion or bias there. To deny it is to deny reality. Nuclear power is dangerous.
