It wasn't voided because he signed without a registered agent - the court seemed to agree with the arbitrators decision that the breach of the collective bargaining agreement caused by signing without a registered agent wasn't fundamental to the CBA contract and therefore would not void the contract

Not actually... The court ruled that the letter the Tiger Cats sent to Williams to exercise their right to force him to play out the option year in his contract was insufficient per the terms of the contract he signed initially. Essentially at the start of a player's option year the player's team must send a letter to the player telling them that the team is exercising its option to keep the current contract valid for the rest of the year. The letter the Ti-Cats sent was, per the court's opinion, vague in that intent and THEREFORE the Ti-Cats did not adequately meet that requirement of the contract they signed with Williams. --- Basically this won't affect any other teams if their boilerplate letter to the players to inform them that the team is going to renew their contract for the option year isn't as shitty as the Ti-cats boilerplate is.

Khari was fun to watch

Well if Goltz gets hurt early at least we'll see the reps for Simpson we wanted earlier in the season

Consider what the coaches are seeing in practice as well

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released import receiver Isaac Anderson and non-import kicker Justin Palardy. --- I guess BlueAndGold is going to lose it

Jon Cornish

Rays of sunlight... nope Bob Irving ‏@BobIrvingCJOB 18m Looks like smoke on the bomber practice field--just another reminder of the black cloud over this team. Irving in a bad mood today?

Interesting... Cauchy must be hurting our defense more than we know if they are already looking at going IMP at that spot That or we go Cauchy at S for plays where we have a all IMP DLand Smith at S when we put an NI on the line

Chris Garrett and our Defense playing LIGHTS OUT won us that semi-final.

BISHOP, M TOR 185/355 52.1% 2920 22 TD 11 INT 87.5 QBR only played like 12 games - Projecting these numbers over 18 4400 yards 33 TD's 17 INT's Compared to Pierce in 2011 261 411 63.5 3,348 92 14 3.4 18 4.482.0 I can't remember how many games Pierce missed in 2011... I think he played like 16 games or something amazing like that I'd rather have Bishop from 2007 than Pierce in 2011

In my opinion, if we had stuck with Michael Bishop in 2010 instead of signing Buck Pierce, this team would be in a better situation right now. I actually don't disagree with this... You should, because it's ridiculous... IMO Bishop was a back-up for a long time, during that period everyone said he was dumb as a brick but had an awesome arm. HOWEVER - I only really see him as having one year where he was in a good situation - 2007 (been with the team awhile, in a scheme that suited his skills, etc) - He was something like 3000 yards 22 td-11 ints having only played 12 games (he got injured on a freak play) 2002-2005 - He was getting used to the Canadian game... 2006 he looked like he might have potential 2008 was a **** show in SSK - he came in to a completely new system halfway through the year (and performed at least somewhat well...) 2009 - Who didn't look like a total ******* idiot in Kelly's system? He did, however, win us some games (I still remember the play where he called the long TD pass to Edwards to the opposing D before the snap and completed it anyways... hilarious) My big problem with Bishop was that he seemed to be really hot/cold and obviously is not a possession style QB (his accuracy does not do Dink/Dunk style schemes) - Build a big play offense around him that uses his arm strength and ability to run... I think he could have been a real decent QB for the Bombers

In my opinion, if we had stuck with Michael Bishop in 2010 instead of signing Buck Pierce, this team would be in a better situation right now. I actually don't disagree with this...

Wonder why Hamilton cut him in may?

First half of last game Hall was basically 12/12 (his passes on the Matthews Drop and Poblah Drop were both VERY catchable) Only 3 drives ended up as punts: -One where Simpson rushed for 0 yards and on second down Hall was forced to scramble - I don't know if anyone got open before Hall could have found them. -When Matthews dropped a catchable pass for a 1st down - a drive where we couldn't get 2 yards running on second down. --- I'm pretty sure the SAM blitz where he got flattened and lost the ball should have been slowed by our RB although I guess if he had stepped into the pocket he might have dodged it - After that point he just wasn't playing quite the same. all in all the first half I thought Hall looked pretty damn good... just some miscues from OTHER PEOPLE on offense stopped us from scoring any points.

Sheets

524 yards of offense and not a single rushing td...

My picking the running back playing Edmonton strategy just got stronger! Seriously that sucks for him... One of the few bright spots on that team

Bob Irving ‏@BobIrvingCJOB 21m Expect sandro deangelis to kick for the bombers on friday. Is Palardy hurt?

In hindsight it looks like we would have made out like bandits trading Glenn for Matthews

^this... Nobody ever said Hebert wasn't a good tackler and didn't have an ability to shed blocks (he was always recognized as a DEMON on special teams) Montreal's defense almost has their WIL playing as a 5th Dlineman (and their safety as a 6th, and their SAM as a 7th) - I guess you could say they are playing a defensive game plan that emphasizes a player like Hebert's strengths and masks his weaknesses (he rarely sits back in coverage)

mmm... Forum suddenly far less irritating this morning now that I've tried out one of this forum's new features

Yeh but you're playing Edmonton this week

I was on vacation and missed picking before the Edmonton game...

Whomever Bluto picks I assume Steele
