Austin bumps Stala - pays $5,000 fine
You think that love tap got back at Stala? Obviously intentional though. I don't know if the CFL can suspend a coach but this is deserving of a game in addition to the fine. Absolutely repulsive. Woody Hayes 2.0

Lawless: Chill Out, Let Miller & Co Do Their Jobs
Winnipeg Sun does it every year and publishes the results. Up to you if you want to vote, not limited to season ticket holders.

Lawless: Chill Out, Let Miller & Co Do Their Jobs
They should stay as long as there is real improvement. We decide that with a YEAR END review.

Henoc on his way to Hamilton & Toronto for visit
Puh-lease. He goes there, sees the new stadium and feels the love. Is he going anywhere else? He's serious about Hamilton and this will put it over the top.

Hufnagel going to Riders?
If true I wonder who he'd take with him? This could really hurt Calgary.

Henoc Muamba Released by Colts!
I'm making the assumption that he's old and doesn't like to get hit so he avoids it at all costs. A lot of QB's get like that when they're past 30. 40 in Burris's case.

Henoc Muamba Released by Colts!
The thing about Burris, overpaid that he is, he stays healthy. Would we would have won more games with an upright Burris or a banged up Willy? Something to ponder.

Henoc Muamba Released by Colts!
When the agent asks for bids from every team it's about the money. That's how we got Bryant, offered him 20,000 more than the next highest offer.

Yeah leave in Brohm Mos.....
Yeah, Bish played almost that whole season with a hammy that prevented him running, which was half of his game. He had only Kelly's offence to work with and both Bowman and Ralph dropping touchdowns left and right and STILL he got us one within one game of the playoffs.

Mr Miller, please do NOT hire Brendan Taman in ANY capacity!
Thank you Jpan, of course I meant Dave Ritchie. He was here the same time as Taman and went on scouting trips in addition to being head coach.

Mr Miller, please do NOT hire Brendan Taman in ANY capacity!
Ritchie did half the scouting while he was here. How do you even know who found who? Wickman finding Roberts is correct, just too bad Ray who was on the same college team didn't come with him.

Yawn
Personally I feel the coaches who yell on the sideline are more likely to be a nut job than a Vince Lombardi. I like the quiet, cerebral type like Bud Grant, Trestman, Shula and Tom Landry. To me O'Shea is fine except for his willingness to let MB run the offence come hell or high water. He's a QB killer and this is a QB's league.

Bombers Trade for Matt Nichols
No, cause they just traded it to Hamilton. How do you trade a conditional pick? Or was the only condition that Nichols report here?

August 23 practice report
Goosen is 23. It's not do or die.

Montreal Fires Higgins, Popp to be Interim HC
One September day when the Ti-cats had yet to win a game that season, then Head Coach Ronnie Lancaster surprised all when he said in an interview "Mathematically we haven't been eliminated yet". It's the CFL!!! Mathematically you stay alive along time. Realistically it would take a miracle for Sask. Popp is career .444 as HC and he had some better teams than he has now too.

Montreal Fires Higgins, Popp to be Interim HC
I only see one out...the Riders. Who is the second? I'm writing off Montreal based on Popp as HC.
-
Montreal Fires Higgins, Popp to be Interim HC
Considering Crompton is the best QB they have over there and he's not playing, I thought Higgins did as well as anyone would have. Popp will do no better, possibly worse. My take away is that 4 teams are in, 3 teams in the hunt and now 2 teams are out.

Week 8 Edm.@Mtl. BC@Ham. Ott.@Cgy.
This week just proves that the playoffs are not out of reach. Hamilton, Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton will be in but the last two spots are wide open.
-
Aug 12 practice
Why do we know this? Isn't it "upper body"? Anyway I'm sure he can play in a cast. More of a hurt than an injury.
-
Marve now the backup QB?
Marve is the new Bishop. He's going to make "who was that intended for" and "how did he do that" throws, possibly in the same series. Plus he can run. I think we'll win enough to get into the post season.

[MERGED] Drew Willy Watch 3.0 Has Ended
Agree BUT with the pounding he takes and two close calls this year there was a sense of inevitability about it. Still, nothing was done any differently. That's the one thing that I can't get over.
-
[MERGED] Drew Willy Watch 3.0 Has Ended
I dunno, I plan to party all week regardless.
-
[MERGED] Drew Willy Watch 3.0 Has Ended
We're one Lulay injury away from the playoffs. Hells no we're not out of it. We were getting steam rolled and the game was not a must win, not even a conference game. If not pull Willy at least call some plays that didn't put him in so much jeopardy. Waggoner: Muamba played nothing but special teams his first year did he not?
-
[MERGED] Drew Willy Watch 3.0 Has Ended
For the love of God will people stop mentioning Doug Berry every time we lose a game. He's out of the league for good reason. He's had his chances. How old is he now? 70? Ok, 67. I looked it up.

Big Ben Available
Almost every team in the league will bid, Bombers too I hope. I'm sure they had an offer ready if he had made it to FA. As for the Riders having cap space THIS year, Heenan will only be of help to them next year as playoffs are a pipe dream. I think he ends up elsewhere.
