No practice today. I don't think MOS will give up anything tonight on the radio. Have to wait till tomorrow to get a the injury report.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Quote from: dd on July 28, 2025, 03:45:39 AMMy current track record has me at #2 in pick ems, where are you?? Oh ya, 16 behind that tied with 7 other guys for 7th. Nuff said.
That's pretty awesome didn't see that.  I have had a bad run on pickems, a few years ago before there were prizes I was at the top right at the end.  Didn't pick the Bombers in the playoffs and I lost by a point or two.  That year I told myself I should have been betting on the CFL,  not really into that but I did make a few hundred on one cup win!

My point stands regarding ego, has nothing to do with the previous posts and convo.  Sounds like by the tone of your post, you are pumping your own, which is fine right the high while you can and good luck, very hard to win it!

I try to keep the male ego in check, I try to be humble.  Never afraid to counter people, state my opinion and often take the contraion view.  I don't swim with the school of fish, often  prefer to swim on my own in the opposite direction of the herd.   Been a long term supporter of this era of Bombers.  I'll stick with em until we rebuild and reevaluate my position as needed when the time comes.

I don't look at track record for one year or pickums for that matter, I was talking in general ones opinion of the club and players over the long term

Probably wrong thread but anyone know why we have Britt Dort and not John Lu on the sidelines?

Blue Bombers Add Dexter Lawson to Practice Roster.

He was here in camp. I thought he looked good then but he is not a big body. 5'9"

I do remember the name, was he also on the PR last year?  I wish we can add a guy with some imposing size & physicality.

Quote from: Blueforlife on July 27, 2025, 11:48:07 PMDisagree with your opinion.  We all have one, don't take away the validity of mine.  Been on here and long time and not going anywhere. Thanks.

If you post on an forum expect to be challenged imo. A variety of perspectives and debate brings balance to this place. 

Not a fan of the language that was used.  I believe they were over simplifying the current situation the Bombers are in.  Not the 1st time I countered that argument.  I am allowed to disagree and counter people's opinions. I will do my best to present mine.

A thumbs down button would make that process easier imo.

There is a group on here that doesn't like how I post, many that likely have no opinion and some that like and support me.  Over generalizing imo.  I could care less, not on here to be popular.

I rarely agree with what you post but it doesn't mean I don't value your contributions and I would never encourage you to change how you post.  Our diversity of opinions and posting styles is our strength.

The line about posting on a forum and expect to be challenged is interesting.

In discussing receiver attributes last night on the Coach's Show, O'Shea said size wasn't a top consideration, his preference was intelligence, speed and route running. Probably has similar thoughts about DB's.

I'd like to see him change his mind when it comes to size.

It only makes sense when we see teams fielding more bigger guys. I guess we just need to find that unicorn big guy that also has speed, and intelligence. Man, I miss Prime BA.

practice cancelled due to air quality.  not great but i suppose a back to back and being at home is the best case scenario

Who is next in line as the returner? Logan hasn't been practising at all and Vaval appears to be hurt?

Bombers bring back Dexter Lawson JR. 5'9" 190 DB. Lawson played well in pre-season and look good at TC. 13 games with Hamilton, 45 DTs, and 1 Int.

Crappy no practice today. MOS giving nothing away on the Bomber injuries.

Eli?  He has great hands, and he would sure punish any gunners hitting him at full speed
