Testing Our Mettle: Eskies Coming Here
Fogg was #23 last year... probably the reason for your confusion... so you're excused

Rider depth gonna be tested
No, no.... if Jones gets fired after this year I guarantee the majority will say "good we never liked him anyways" "he was a garbage coach/gm from the beginning" "he's brought shame to this proud franchise that wins a cup every half century" etc...

EDMONTON over ottawa
completely disagree with the first part.... there is plenty of auto-tuned garbage out there... but also a ton of awesome rock bands that don't get main stream attention... I am not a huge Shania Twain fan (mostly cuz I'm not a pop-country fan)... but this seems like a safe and popular choice for the CFL... probably not winning over the younger fans with this announcement...

hahaha... exactly the first thing I thought when I saw this thread...

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
Without reading the thread... I just want to say that "elite" is such a subjective term and completely useless when analyzing athletes, especially QBs... Is Matt Nichols a good QB? Is he capable of leading our team to the Grey Cup? I say yes to both... so whether you want to call him "elite" or a "game manager" or a "gun-slinger" or "insert generic sports term"... all these terms are irrelevant... just win baby

Bruce Johnson Released
I might argue this is the case... Last game (the best we've had from field side all season) had Brian Walker at HB (Bruce's old spot) and Carmichael at CB... maybe the team sees: Randle - Heath - Loffler - Walker - Alexander as the best secondary we can dress... not sure I would disagree...

In Sask?... with the all-powerful Chris Jones?.... unheard of!

Regular Season - Bomber News, Developments & Speculation
seems about right... I'd be extremely impressed if an UDFA from a non-Div I school was any higher than 3rd on the depth chart...

Addison Richards Retires
according to my research Intzandt is on Ottawa's PR... but Butcher is a free agent... so if the team was interested in developing him, he's available...

Is it known which Western team tried to grab Spooner off PR??
probably lots of food at the stadium... their salary is basically "walking around" money... as long as they don't have 4 kids to support they will be just fine...

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
disagree,... fans don't make personnel decisions... and I am quite thankful for that most of the time... Kevin Glenn is better today, 9 years later, than any QB we've had since... save for Buck and Nichols... I also don't totally disagree with Spuds point... he was 1 win away from a home playoff game... however he made far too many stupid personnel and in-game decisions... I'll kindly refer to him as a bad coach, rather than a terrible coach...

Addison Richards Retires
I think the biggest difference is that Richards went, more or less, where he was projected... Jade was a 3rd or 4th round projection that went in the first round...

This is the exact answer to the trivia question.... how do the stamps seem to always have back-ups that can fill in without missing a beat?

hey, even if he ends up being the second coming of Julian Fioli-Guidino... that wouldn't be too bad! I think you need to turn on your sarcasm detector...

He's "advertising" a CFL blog... and when you click on the link, you get a CFL blog... not sure why you have such a problem with that... If you don't want to read another CFL fan's thoughts on the league... don't read it... Personally, I think we should be encouraging independent CFL bloggers....

Addison Richards Retires
It almost seems like this is a bit of a relief for both sides... Addison can now move on to some sort of real career... and the Bombers move on from a bad pick, erase his salary from the books and start focusing on guys like Coates and Wolitarsky... Good for him... hopefully he finds a nice career post football...

Bombers @ Redblacks
I'm pretty Bey, pronounced "bee" is the Beyonce thing... and BAE is what we all dream of waking up to in the morning... Bacon And Eggs... but what do I know... cell phones weren't even a thing when I was in high school... and I'm one of the younger ones on this board!

Winnipeg @ Ottawa GDT
I completely agree... but one problem... when is the last time this squad has played a complete 60 min game? I used to joke that the terrible seasons were so much less stressful... 2013 for example... I went to every game expecting to get blown out... if the game was moderately close it made it that much more fun!
