Chris Jones can't close practice. The extra 25 guys in the party house wouldn't be able to attend.

Regular Season - Bomber News, Developments & Speculation
This tweet is confusing. I first thought the Bombers dropped Mulumba rights.

I've been trying to sign into online, on-demand television today with limited success through my Shaw Direct account. I checked with Shaw and they said something is going on in the cyberworld which isn't allowing subscription data to get to TSN. No timeline was given on the repair.

GDT: Toronto @ Winnipeg
Hey Speedy, Not sure if you know this, but the NFL has been crosstraining their officials in the CFL during the summer season. This year the system was expanded. https://www.cfl.ca/2017/05/16/cfl-nfl-expand-officiating-development-program-second-season/ I wonder if the ref who threw the flag was a CFL official or NFL official...

GDT: Toronto @ Winnipeg
Yes, Dangerous precedent. The contest is based on the results on the field using real refs. The line judge called a penalty which he deemed reasonable from his perspective on the field. Whether or not it is the right call, it was the call on the field. Awarding extra prizes to the entrant is dangerous to the game and to any contests out there: 1. It undermines the Refs (it was a call, it was a penalty, you can't challange it, get over it) 2. What happens to the next person that is close to winning? Do they get pity prizes too? If not, why not? They should sue for the same treatment. 3. Using logic from #2, The next penalty could stop a TD, thus stopping the next kick off. This could easily snowball. What if the penalty screws up someone's CFL sponsored Fantasy Football pick? There are so many scenarios that this opens up.

I don't agree with the blown call hate on the kick return. The line judge on the Argos' side of the field made the call. The video is from the Bomber's side of the field in slow motion. The two perspectives are completely different and without a view from the east, it's tough to prove how it looked to the ref who through the flag. As for being robbed, its a contest which relies on the outcome of a game with refs. Until a scoring play happens and is cleared by the refs and command centre, it never happened. This is a dangerous precedent that the CFL, Bombers and Sobey's are setting. Are they going to give prizes to the next person who is inline for a 2nd kick return? There are lots of penalty calls (or missed penalty non-calls) that can negate a TD and ultimately a chance at a 2nd kick return TD.

Drew Wolitarsky
I hope he eclipses the 1 catch Etienne and 1 catch Richards had in all of their first 2 seasons.

I bet he goes to Saskatchewan. The original "Ruby" from Corner Gas was torn down last year.

Stripped TD
Camera angle was not the best and not enough evidence (100%) to overturn the call. Air between the receiver's arm and the ball would be irrefutable.

Second Round Final Cuts
To sign off the 46 man roster you have to talk to the player, get the player to agree to move, have the player sign, then the original team can still roster that player to protect them (and drop someone else off their 46 man roster to the PR). From https://cfldb.ca/faq/rosters/: "Practice roster contracts allow a player to be signed by another club to a regular player contract, meaning the player must take an active (46-man) roster spot (sign a standard player contract). The club that currently holds the practice roster contract has the same option to sign the player to a standard player contract (and place the player on a 46-man roster spot) to avoid losing the player. Players under practice roster contracts are not allowed to sign a practice roster agreement with another team until they are released from the contract or the contract expires. There are no league restrictions to how long (how many seasons) a player may stay on a practice roster. It is purely a player's decision to accept a practice roster spot when offered by a team."

Bombers Training Camp 2017 - May 28
We have to get used to other teams looking at and using our cuts on their teams. For QBs, it's been a long time since that's happened with success. If MBT and Bennett stick, that would be a first in a long time (please don't bring up Joey E). We're seeing it with receivers (Ricky Collins, possibly Mayo). Walters and the WBB are showing to have a good scouting network. Other teams are realizing it. The Esks, the Stamps, the Lions all had periods where they led the scouting, now we're starting to do that.

Jersey Ideas
Get a navy blue and gold#27 Teague Sherman jersey. BTW, do you wear a XXL by chance?

Bryan Bennett was 4th on the depth chart and because of that was automatically a free agent at the end of the season. He chose to sign with the Riders. The Bombers only option to not being on the PR would be to list a player on the IR with a phantom injury. They needed Dominiqu Davis and Kevin Glenn active for the West Semi Final.

Fixed it for you. Other acceptable corrections also are Coach, GM, stadium, weather, or fans.

I don't know any of you personally here or at the other site, so this is a sincere question: The pair in the west side upper deck wearing jerseys with OURBOMBERS.COM nameplates on their jerseys, were they part of the ownership group or did they win jerseys from the other site?
