Renaming Sports Teams
I get the second half of your post is a very unfunny joke... but are you serious about the Red Wolves part?... or was that just the set up to the bad joke?

Renaming Sports Teams
Another thought aside from whether the name is racist or not... the financial impact of a complete brand change for the Edmonton Football club... why don't we wait to see if there's still a CFL and the club is still financially viable before spending millions of dollars on re-branding... I know, this is not the crux of the issue... but something to consider...

Favourite Non Bomber
As somebody else mentioned... because of Durant's disappearing act... we essentially gained Streveler and Bighill... so he did us a nice favour

Renaming Sports Teams
for me... the only opinion that matters is that of the Inuit population... I don't give a **** about a bunch of white people shouting about something being offensive or not... the only opinion that matters is the Inuit population... if they want it changed, it should be changed...

Favourite and least favourite Bomber
How about Onterrio "The Whizzanator" Smith...

Least favourite non-Bomber
Sure, I won't dispute that... but it doesn't mean he wasn't a great QB for a long stretch of time...

Least favourite non-Bomber
I used to hate Anthony Calvillo... mostly because he destroyed us sooooo many times.... as the years went on I began to appreciate his greatness.... (beating Sask in back to back cups helped 😀 )

Favourite and least favourite Bomber
From the era I grew up in the first two players that come to mind are Doug Brown and Milt Stegall... those two are probably my all time favourite Bombers... that's based on their play on the field and having met both off the field... both great players and great people.... Obviously this championship team... having the benefit of recency bias.... has produced some fan favourite players too... Harris, Bighill, Hardrick, Streveler... I really can't think of a Bomber player that I really "hated"... or even strongly disliked... Anthony Marlborough and Jovon Johnson are two players that I can remember really falling off at the end of their time with the Bombers... I would classify that more as frustrated with their play rather than actually disliking the player...

2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
delayed response to this... I agree with you and think they are both very good receivers... but on top of that, they are true Mike O'Shea guys... they take their role and give 100% on every play... they put the team success ahead of their personal success... when Bailey scored that TD in the GC (which we all know was called back) all he did was celebrate that they're going to win... not his personal accolades... Another quick story... after the parade, my friend and I went our separate ways and he happened to run across Lawler doing an impromptu autograph session... Lawler had a friend there saying "it's cold, let's go" (obviously paraphrasing)... and Lawler refused to leave saying the weather was fine and it's all about the fans... he wouldn't leave until they all got an autograph... These are the kind of players we want on this team...

2019-20 CFL Offseason
haha, what a joke... I wonder if they would've "ignored" the fine if Winnipeg, Regina, or Edmonton went over the cap... 🙄

2019-20 CFL Offseason
Of course... but you think a national CFL broadcast is entry level??... entry level is a radio broadcast for an MJHL team... CFL is about 5 levels above entry level...

He's on the payroll... he'll do what it takes to appease the masses... I think he'd be plenty impartial if he went back to a national gig...

2020 CFL Draft
I know this was probably answered at some point... but why did Ottawa and Toronto just get bonus "territorial" picks for no apparent reason?

Between Hallett(s) and Exumé is there a chance to have a NI spot in the secondary?

2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
It really made me smile watching those toothless rider fans claim they were going to destroy the bombers...

2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
Not exactly... his ask was too high... the bombers wanted him back but not at the money he was asking for...

2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
never, ever in his career could Milt be accused of not showing up... that man give 100% to every game, every practice, every workout... that's why he's the CFL's GOAT receiver...

Bombers recruiting Derel Walker
sure... but who's paying for all this?

2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
Someone obviously thought the "celebrity" of Urban would add credibility to the CFL... instead it just made the CFL look even more bush league...

2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
The only reason I wanted to watch some of the Hamilton game is b/c I had absolutely zero recollection of this game... after watching it, I realized why...

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
Never mind two years ago... remember two months ago when the xfl signed Derek Dennis and SJ green and a few alarmist were warning us about the “surge of cfl talent” headed south... 😆

2019-20 Grey Cup Champs Off-season discussion.
I watched a good chunk of it just out of curiosity... few thoughts... -I actually cringed when I saw those gold monstrosities they called uniforms. I think I forgot how ugly those jerseys were... - we had some good players in that defence: suber, Hefney, Bstew, marcellous bowman, Bryant turner, Alex hall (injured) and Jason Vega (inured)... - that offensive line was so bad it was painful to watch. The offensive game plan was just pathetic. They mentioned several times on the broadcast how the bombers tore it up on the ground the prior week and it took till the third possession to call a run... - buck pierce and Joey Eliot both showed some good things at qb but with about a half second to throw not much help there was only so much they could do. Terrance Edwards and Chris Matthews were pretty good... - don’t want to start this fight but Matt Nichols is miles better than any qb that played in that game... - I appreciate even more what we’ve seen from the bombers over the last 4 years after watching that game (even though I think that was probably a .500 team with a 0% coaching staff)

Without looking it up... I'm going to guess this is every Riders loss... 😂
