  1. Harris is the one mouthing off & not the organization. He's the one crying "poor me" in front of every mic he sees trying to make the Bombers look bad. Right now, he's being an asshat. His choice. Screw him.

  2. Meh. He is pissed at bc for telling him he was done. He is pissed at rhe Bombers now, eventually Toronto will say the same to him and he will be pissed at them too.

  3. Maybe Harris should have used that motivation and drive last yr a bit more...and then when asked to prove to the Bombers that he was healthy and still had it when they asked and secure a deal he felt wasn't a slap in the face....instead of pouting about it and acting like he was disrespected...put your money where yer Yap is if u truly wanna be here ..that's my take He did and gave a lot to the team...not denying that..but only after he had a bit of a sit down scolding when he first got back here...we will be fine and from sounds of a lot of the things I hear..and some other stuff coming out....he isn't really the heartbeat of the team and what made it and the locker room tick....that's all still here ...we will be fine and I bet u the game Toronto has against us that defense is gonna step it up to shut him down ..and shut him up

  5. Yeah..it's more of a situation of allocation of money/sms this and next yr in order to continue being successful ...ongoing and not be left with nothing. Securing young promising talent while still staying on top of league...and not letting talent leave because u took risk signing a very old for the position rb who just had a season that causes alarm with aging players...I'd rather have management looking forward and not back....and if he felt hurt or dissed at a reduced role...less pay for said role and had to basically do a physical and show what he had prior to signing ..and didn't like it...well guess it is time to turn the page with grace and class..I don't see the bombers talking in the media or saying anything remotely negative...or even another teamate saying anything...even cryptically... I hope he shows everyone what he has left as we wrap up first place and a west final again next yr

  6. Gardwine is running ads for truckers every morning on CJOB. They make a point of "saying without saying " that they can still use unvaccinated truckers. When this whole thing started I said that it was all BS. I seriously could find a job for any competent trucker vaccinated or not in an hour. That's not an exaggeration.

  7. I'll say one thing if he was hired, the listener would have no idea what yard line, down or distance the teams would be on. And half the broadcast would be about unimpotant things like how he misses Wet n Wild & the River Rouge.

  8. Sports journalists cherry picking juicy tantalizing soundbites is nothing new. I'm sure at some point Andrew Harris has fondly reminisced about his coaches teammates and fans but that isn't a very juicy headline or tweet next to 'the Bombers made a mistake'. Likewise, Kenny Lawler has surely praised the people around him for helping him get where he is now but we love to focus on how 'he' won the cup. In a lengthy nuanced conversation with sports journalists a player might get 5-6 of their boldest statements show up in print. Usually quoted directly, usually without full context. Not that I care very deeply about how someone not on our team feels about our team anyhow. These sort of disputes get settled in time, on the field.

    Jason Kenny, who, like Heather Stefanson, had asked for federal help a few days before the Emergency Act was invoked, has now decided that it is a good use of several million dollars to sue the federal government over the implemantation of that act. In a CBC interview this morning, he said that things were pretty much in hand and there was no need. Now he has added stupidity to cowardice and hypocrisy.

  11. Perfect example demonstrating the major problem with social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook etc and how people and groups know exactly how to use it nefariously for their own wacked purposes with absolutely no consequences for this behaviour, for the freedom of choices they make. Ooops I'm sawwwy I'm made an ooopsy. (Thinking in Mr. Burns best voice, damage done). Meanwhile Twitter and Facebook know these wacked people draw millions and millions of dollars in advertising revenue for them so they'll skirt around it with they're crazy speak (see that weirdo Zuckerberg as an example) to explain why they can't censor people. It's just a game, we all just happen to be in it thinking we're playing a completely different game with completely different rules. There's my motivational speech of the day.

I’ve always had to prove myself, always had to kind of overcome things and it’s nothing different this year.” “I want to prove to myself, prove to the Bombers that they made a big mistake for doing what they did,” Harris emphasized. “And then ultimately just prove to my new teammates that I’m here to come win and play hard.” I wish he would just stop airing out their dirty laundry- it just really doesn't look good for him... I wish instead of proving to his new teammates that he is there to win and play hard, he would have just proved the bombers. It feels so weird not wishing him success... I am not wishing anything bad to befall him, but I can't find it in my heart to root for him anymore...

  18. Steven Jyles?? Wow, talk about stretching your point.. He was never a starting qb & never would be. He was nothing but a career backup. I like Nicholls & will never say anything bad about him as he played with a lot of courage. He fit LaPo's style of offense. Checkdowns & passing to Harris. He did a lot of horizontal short passing but not a lot of vertical passing. With Matt's average arm & later on his lack of mobility it was an offense where getting rid of the ball quickly was Job 1. How many times did we as a fan base found it frustrating that we'd need 7 yards for a first down & Nichols would throw a slant for four? He did this constantly & it drove us all crazy. How many times did LaPo sit on a 10 point lead in the second half because he was afraid to lose? He didn't play to win as he was very conservative. We didn't see much of that under Buck Pierce & qb Zach Collaros. The same personnel last season but a different outcome. That was Pierce vs LaPo. Most of us never want to see LaPo calling plays as an OC for the Bombers again.

  22. This is a very interesting point. I don't instatwittergram so idk but I haven't seen any post shared the places I've seen other guys. Stove also didn't. But Lawler broke into the league here became a star and like you said the team had his back in a tough time. Maybe he wasn't happy with the teams offer but still strange. I loved what Lawler did but with Ellingson I don't think we will miss a beat. If Blake Jackson is healthy this year I think he could have a year similar to Bailey last year. Hoping Meredith comes back some decent depth wrs still kicking around and a new crop of young talent for camp.

  24. As far as I'm concerned Harris is and will always be a bomber. When he retires this whole mess will be forgotten and I can't wait to see his name go up on the ring. I don't think that or him going into the hall as a bomber changes. What happened between him and the mafia stays between them imo. It was time to move on. With the money required go retain augustine and Brady plus at this point in their progression they are ready to start and need significant reps. This is going to be the best position battle in camp if both stay healthy. Hoping that a dual back rotation wins out early on. If Harris came back for a cheap deal it'd have been great for this year but hurt us in the long run. We'd probably lose borsa hurt the development of Brady and auggy and still leave us with a very expensive back field.

  25. It's tough turning on your own BUT it seems that's the way Harris wants to play this.....If he would have been a little more accomodating ....as we were.... he'd still be here....I see we only play T.O. in the big smoke this year......All I can say is that'll be a slobber knocker and when the dust settles we'll leave with the 2 pts.

    My understanding of what happened to Ledger was that he was really messed up from this movie and was having trouble with his sleep. They got him on some meds to help with that and he started taking more and more of them and eventually too much. For anyone that might be interested, the HBO "I Am Heath Ledger" doc on Crave is awesome.

  29. When this first happened, I still wanted him to go to TO and lead the league in rushing, hell, so two more years. But yeah, when he starts talking about the "prove us wrong" thing. It's hard to root for him. This isn't even about being right or wrong for the Bombers, it's simply advancing on a three-year plan to move forward. If Brady wasn;t injury in his rookie year and/or the 2020 season wasn't cancelled, this could happened one or two years ago.

  39. Yeah, I remember GM's like Earl Lunsford being well known as cheapskates & treating players like ****. Trouble was, most teams were the same. Hard headed management style who didn't want to pay the players. Even per diems in training camp was incredulously low. The CFL players struck in 1974 as players weren't being paid during training camp & exhibition season.

    this reads like shenanigans to me; the Post is attempting to moderate PP because they really like him. I suspect he's pro-abortion just like Barack Obama was anti gay marriage.

  42. Gotta wonder if the Elks president Cui would have hired Jones as gm if he’d gotten his job first, because now they’re stuck with him due to money/front office salary cap. The franchise went from inept to bizarro land clown-show in the blink of an eye. Can only imagine how relieved Ellingson is to be out of there.

    my KN95 (a base layer in a 2-mask system for me) is excellent. And anyone who says that a 3rd dose of vaccine doesn't do anything is just dumb and possibly ignorant. Getting your booster shot is HUGE in terms of protection. The data is very clear.
