Crazy thoughts from a desperate and disillusioned Bomber fan ...
As someone who is only in his early 30's, I have no real memories of the bombers being a dominant, or even consistently good team. Sure we had a brief glimpse of success in the days of Jones and Stegall. Losing games and looking terrible on offense is just my expectation. So the good of this is I get over the losses pretty quickly, as they're expected. The bad being even if we win a couple games it will be hard to enjoy as I'll know the wheels are still going to fall off after another few games. I didn't grow up watching or playing football, wasn't an option to play in a small town. In my teens the likes of Stegall and Brown got me interested and started watching. Then i hit my 20's. The bombers didn't win a labor day game in my 20's. Loss after loss after loss. Every year we bring in new players, every year people are optimistic for the new players. Every year regardless of what coaches/players/Gm we bring in, the team plays like the Bombers, which is a painful experience.

Medlock - A Class Guy
that kick last night will cost him 1300. He's already donating more to charity than I do in a year, and he has 17 games left.

Calgary - Canada Day
I was considering going, after that depressing mess last night I think I'll be watching from my couch.

DraftKings now offering CFL contests
This caught my interest. Went to register, draftkings registration unfortunately requires more effort than I'm willing to put in at this moment so I'll pass on it for now.

Bombers Opener June 24 ... (also Laine Day!)
Just to be a contrarian? Right now there's a gap from 1/2 to 3. The Jets have gone off the board a bit with other first rounders, but I can't see how they do it picking 2nd.

Final Cuts
2009 - 17 games (1 game on PR, 17 started) 2010 - 4 games, cut in favor of prefontaine 2011 - 18 games 2012 - NFL 2013 - NFL 2014 - 18 games 2015 - 18 games Best I can tell he has missed 0 CFL games due to injury

Medlock - A Class Guy
he must have more faith in a Lapo offense than some of us if he thinks he's going to be making shorter kicks than 45 yards.

Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Medlock is basically 87-90% on FG every year, and makes quite a few long ones. I'm quite happy to have him. Hajrullau's good year is the same as Medlocks worst full season

question based on a comment I saw on twitter. Are the endzones in BMO not the proper depth due to space restrictions? Got the impression that they're 18 yards deep.

Cuts and Keepers
i feel the same about both of them. For what it's worth I've been in Edmonton 7.5 years now. I own 0 pieces of Eskimos gear. Last year as bad as the team was I went to Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa to watch them play. This year the Vancouver bombers trip will be on again, not sure about others.

there's your error, expecting bright moves from a riders fan

Or it's people who just want to wear a Dressler jersey to a Bombers game against Sask hoping he has a monster game in a Bombers blowout victory.

I traded in carbs for steak bacon and cheese, and a bit of pork and chicken. If I want a snack, no more chips, cook a couple pieces of bacon.

I might start buying merch again this year. It has nothing to do with management. It's the first year in a few that I might be able to wear some of it. The bombers don't really sell fat guy sizing. Down 100lbs this CFL off season (technically 98.5 as of this morning, but i'm going with 100), I may be able to get into some bomber gear again. (the secret is bacon, i have spent 0 time in the gym)

So did you buy a new jersey because Taman is gone, because there are new jerseys, or because she can't wear her Dressler jersey to games anymore I would expect most teams merch revenue to be up this year with the new jerseys

I'd be skeptical that the average fan cares too much about who the GM is. Every fan cares about winning/losing, the minority, such as the types who go on forums, care about other the behind the scenes stuff. If merch is down significantly, I'd be surprised if that many people didn't buy merch because of who the GM is.

Because you went and talked to each other instead of watching jab at the media, not you. You did better than I would have, I would have left if they weren't doing much.

In a league where after 3 years a guy can leave why sour the relationship early. No other league would a guy drafted first overall get a minimum offer.
