Guest 1916 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Didn't see a thread about it, so I figured what the hey? I don't know how many Canadians are on this board, or how many of them actually watch the CFL. There have been some significant goings on so far for my Winnipeg Blue Bombers this off-season as they have... -Signed Doug Berry as their new Head Coach. I think this was a good move, as Berry came from Montreal, who are contenders almost every year, with a proven program, that Berry helped build. -Signed Barrin Simpson, the best MLB in the leauge. This was EXCACTLY what the blue needed. Kudos to GM Brendan Taman, and Doug Berry for bringing him in. (Plus it feels great that for once we out-bid one of the rich teams for a star player...Hey BC! ) -Re-signed quality young talent, like DL's Gavin Walls and Tom Canada (who ironicly is from the U.S.A.) -Signed quality role players like experienced DB and special teams player Mike Crumb. Hopefully, (but not bloody likely considering my sports luck), the Bombers will win their first Grey cup in 16 years, and also be the first team since '94 to break the curse and win the cup at home. (which BTW I will be attending. Upper-West, right at the 55 baby!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I remember the Grey Cup thread this year after the fact. I'm blanking on any others. All I need to know about the Renegades is that their new GM forgot the name of his starting QB during an interview, and they let the starting RB go to Hamilton. Chalk up a 4-14 season here.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I'd probably watch some CFL if it was on occasionally over here. I actually prefer their rules and such over the NFL. And that Grey Cup game last year was a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treble 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I know I started at least 1 playoff thread, maybe 2, but there wasn't much traffic so I didn't bother again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Chalk up a 4-14 season here. Actually, chalk up NO season here. Ottawa's CFL franchise has been suspended. That's the second time in a decade that a team has been taken away here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
