The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Mount Rushmore and the all-time Happy Honkers
I can't see Jacobs getting the support that Brock and Ploen will. But might make third?

Looking for memories of 1991 Grey Cup week/festivities/hoopla etc.
Sorry, I was a toddler.

CIS Draft - May 2nd
All the names mentioned are firmly in the bust territory - people are just arguing semantics about what to call an unforseeable failure.

Players You're Excited To See
He did last season. I think he needs to prove it now. And Streveler needs to prove that he's growing as a passer and last season's success wasn't a mirage.

CIS Draft - May 2nd
They were certainly busts. Corney was not a bust I'd put on Walters - these things just happen - but in terms of value received versus draft capital invested, we did not get the return we wanted.

It'd be really nice if we could get everyone on the same page in the same season.

Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
Zing! Not what he was saying though. He (seemingly) wanted the league to cover play off expenses. That's not going to happen.

I don't see anyway around that.

Wouldn't the reverse be true also? Players could sign contracts with the CFL and the AAF would have sue to get the contract rescinded?

The MBB All-time Blue Bomber Team: Tight Ends
You have to think that Funston would have had a huge role in the WING T that they ran.

Look on the bright side...
Oh, obviously. That would cut down on revenue. More teams, games, rounds, etc.
-
Look on the bright side...
If anything, I'd reverse that.

Look on the bright side...
I think that's because they're not as good.

The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Mount Rushmore and the all-time Happy Honkers
I'm going to need a run down of some of the older guys, because I'm immediately thinking Edwards for third slot and don't know much of anything about most of the WRs - other than knowing the names of the big guys and assuming they were the best.

Doesn't make much sense to me. Signing a contract with a different league in a different country. What's stopping them?

CFL 2019 Predictions, Surprises And Grey Cup Drought Ending Chances
Definitely not. There was bust talk because he took some time to get in the starting line up.

Holy Hannah. He did have a reason for rushing. https://3downnation.com/2019/04/10/the-nfl-wants-in-on-the-international-player-action-and-that-probably-isnt-good-for-cfl-2-0/

Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
The constant rule changes have happened every year. That's not on Ambrosie unless you expected him to stop it (for the record, it also annoys me). I don't agree with the "more important things" argument. These things have been problems forever and he's simply attempting a new way of fixing them. It's most likely why he got the job in the first place. The revenue streams. Increased audiences. Increased sponsorship opportunities. I believe 2.0 has been rushed. My guess is that Ambrosie needs things in the new CBA and didn't want to wait until next time around.

Rider fans never change. Although, to be fair, Szarka was around for over 10 years so had the "better career". As opposeed to the extremelt stellar short period that was Mike Sellars.

The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Running backs
I was young and Roberts was my favourite player. I remember creating arguments in my head for why he was better than Joffrey Reynolds.
-
Bomber News: 2019 Off Season
I like the vision - agree that it's terribly rushed. All of these drafts could easily have been announced...for next season. At least pretended that teams can look at the players before drafting them.
-
The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Running backs
Looking back, he had a lot more receptions that I had given him credit for. My bad - I just remember myself thinking "why doesn't he get more receptions?", but my past self was clearly talking out of his ass.
-
The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Running backs
I think I disagree with this. He was ever used in the passing game, so it's hard to say, but I don't really remember him forcing the issue by being spectacular during limited opportunities.
-
The MBB All-time Blue Bomber team: Running backs
Even if you include his BC numbers, he doesn't stack up to Roberts or Lewis.
