TSN just won’t shut up about Awe :laugh:


Pretty funny how Dickenson has talked about how important it is for his team to win tonight so they know they have what it takes to beat the Bombers

Didn't the Bombers ha e Awe in Oshea's first year? Hit like a truck, took dumb penalties, kinda sucked?

Put much more diplomatically put than I could have.

I'm incredibly pessimistic by nature, but I try not to let that effect me too too much. I used to be worse for that, but really just realized what you are saying here, why be miserable in advance? Enjoy the ride, it wasn't that long ago when just getting a win on Banjo Bowl, even if the season finished 1-17 that was all I wanted that season. Just barely getting in playoffs was a great year. Hosting a playoff game was pie in the sky that'll never happen. Now we're talking realistically about Grey Cups and potential dynasties (4 straight finals with 3 Grey Cups is easily dynasty territory for me). If it doesn't happen it'll suck, but right now enjoy the ride.

Also in this vein to balance out my positivity instead of doing favourite players as @snowkiddin suggested, I'm gonna do least favourite players. Cause why not? And doing favourite players I'd be typing this list up until 4am...

QB Kerwin Bell - One of my very first memories of my CFL fandom was hating this guy as our QB. Don't ask me why, I just remember thinking he was awful and killing us all the time. The only good news is after he left he provided the best CFL highlight of all-time (see the video below)
OT Glenn January - How was this guy on our roster for so goddamn long. He was just awful year after year after year. I never saw what anyone did in him. I remember this one play so visibly where he stood up in a pass block mode with no one in front of him, did a complete 360 with his hands up and everything until he was in the exact same spot still standing with no one in front of him having touched no one. Meanwhile the DE lined up 2 yards outside him took a straight run at our QB. He was awful.
CB Roc Carmichael - Came in all swag as somehot top NFL prospect. Handed a starting spot for some reason. Proceeded to allow 3-4 20+ yard completions in nearly every one of his games for most of a season. Then just left at a bye week and never returned, thankfully. Team improved quite a bit after that. I feel like that may have been Kevin Fogg or someone who stepped in for him and it was such a breath of fresh air.
LB Micah Awe - I bemoaned this signing SO SO much when it happened. He was a dirty POS. Hated his game. Why did we need a cheap shot artist to back up one of the all-time classiest cleanest most fierce MLBs of all-time in Adam Bighill. I got shot down hard by people on twitter, including people like Farhan Lalji. COVID then hit and he wasn't re-signed meaning he never dressed for the Bombers. And history has shown out how dirty this asshole is with 5 max fines this year. He's up there in tackles, but I just can't stand this type of player.
SB Weston Dressler - Listen he was a class act and I guess I didn't hate him...it just felt so so dirty to cheer for him. Felt tainted when he scored. Too iconically Riderville.
QB Darian Durant - Fleeced the Bombers of 90K as a retirement gift. Asshole.

There's some examples through the years haha. Oh and that I clip I promised...

You are not wrong about Micah Awe.
 
They forgot to run spell check on Brady's tweet :laugh:

But seriously though, hats off to the award nominees. That is phenomenal. What a season for #20.

Khari is not to blame in montreal - if Adam's wouldn't have had that shoulder injury they had a good combo there... then he was basically sabotaged by macocia

If I'm sask I'd hire khari and throw $$ at dru brown

I agree. I thought Khari did a solid job as HC in MTL.

Unfortunately though I think they cap committed to Trevor Harris next year. He has big guarantees in his deal for 2024.

Brown might find the market for his services pretty soft this off-season. Thr timing just sucks as this year upcoming year is the first year of guarantees in deals, and most teams tossed money at guaranteeing QB salaries for 2024 which will make it tougher for a couple teams to move off the QBs they have. Streveler, IMO, is coming back plus you have Dane Evans and Dru Brown as guys out there looking for starting spots. Be interesting seeing how the QB carousel will play out this off-season.

However, that's a problem for later. Super excited about the playoff games today. I don't really expect either game to be an upset, but it'd be cool if either team pulled it off. I expect all 4 of these teams to be clown pounded by the division winners next week though haha.

Rooting for Montreal, I guess, because I think they have a better chance of knocking off the Argos, and for the Stamps, too.

Im predicting that Legghio gets the game winning field goal... 16-14

Think Adams lights up Calgary but Carey is a bit of a wild card...
