Love this post from Chris Randle:

Randles post/thank you to MOS really drives home the relationship aspect that takes place between MOS and the players. How many times have you seen a player discuss a HC like that AFTER they were cut? I don't think I've ever seen it before.

There's never a wrong thread for hating on the Leafs.

If you want to write stuff without people commenting on it, get a diary.

The Bombers are developing their backup QB in a refreshingly innovative way. They obviously have a number of "Streveler" packages that include pass/run options primarily centered around intermediate to short gains (less than 20 yards). Last year they consistently inserted him into the game when the stakes were real "the game was obviously still in contention" to play those Streveler packages. It's WAY more consequential playtime than any backup I've ever seen get outside of injury to a starter. Allows him to build confidence in a more natural way while simultaneously providing additional offensive depth to the Bombers attack.

Good luck to the Goose in his retirement....Class guy all the way and by the sounds of it is going to miss us and the game....

Our fanbase hasn't gotten used to having a lot of good players that other teams want. Calgary goes through this every year.

In order - it is just you, no he hasn’t, and no he isn’t. Matt Nichols took a lot of crap on this board at times last year (I was not exempt from getting on him when he complained about the boos), but when it’s -30 outside and many Americans head south ftom the day the season ends to the start of trading camp, here’s our offensive leader giving back to the community and doing more than just a quick autograph session for a fee. I’m impressed to see him engage on a personal level with the Brandon fans. Kudos to him!

The man is doing things to give the CFL more exposure and opening up possibities for future development of players, and more importantly, revenue streams. Better than sitting and waiting for the football world to pass us by while we wait for things to happen. We need more forward thinking like this. Absolutely no harm in talking and exploring this avenue.

Bob Cameron. Close the poll.

Miles was set to become a free agent next month. Miles has spent the past two seasons in Winnipeg after signing as a free agent prior to the 2017 season. He has recorded 26 special teams tackle and nine defensive tackles in 36 games over that span. Prior to signing in Winnipeg, Miles spent three seasons with the Toronto Argonauts after being selected 33rd overall in the 2014 CFL Draft. Through his five CFL seasons, Miles has recorded 67 defensive tackles, 42 special teams tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble in 76 career games.

I say we start a riders board! And then let it be one bad ass free for all. And then use the advertising revenue to buy a badass sign right outside of Mosaic. And then troll the **** out of all of Saskatchewan. Sorry, but I'm cruel.

All joking aside, the Riders faithful are upset at the situation but the blame should solely rest on two men Chris Jones and Reynolds. In 2015 these two men engaged in back room negotiations during the season in order to completely blindside a divisional rival. This stunk so badly the CFL had to create new rules to make sure it didn't happen again. For the first time in CFL history other teams now needed league approved consent to hire a coach away from another team. Rider fans cackled with glee at how they screwed over the Evil Empire. 3 years later the man who tampered with Jones got a heavy dose of karma by trusting him. Gone was the savior because Reynolds was too stupid to get a cutoff date on Jones NFL out clause. Now faced with needing to poach another coach got an even bigger dose of karma when the rule created because of his cheating bit him in the nads. Rider fans are still crying foul...but the rest of the CFL says ..HA HA Karma beyotch! Hows the tampering and acting in poor faith working out 4 you now?

Ouch... It would actually make sense for the #Bombers to spend a ton of money on Willie Jefferson. He was easily one of Matt Nichols' favourite targets. #CFL #Riders pic.twitter.com/9wRi9A2cz4 — Peter Mills (@TweeterMillsCBC) February 12, 2019

I think there's two things wrong here: 1) It's ridiculous to believe the number we have for him is arbitrary. 2) It's ridiculous to believe they'd let an all star NI OL walk for "a couple thousand dollars". Nothing about Kyle Walters FA history says any of what you're thinking is even remotely possible.

With free agency coming up, we should clarify one thing: to resign is to quit something (see Goosen, Matthias) to re-sign is to enter into a new contract with your current employer (see Bighill, Adam)

Not sure where this goes. but man- Gotta love Strevs: https://www.argusleader.com/story/sports/college/university-of-south-dakota/2019/02/06/chris-streveler-south-dakota-coyotes-usd-cfl-winnipeg-blue-bombers-football/2777011002/

Hughes disappeared only to be found later passed out on the side of the road with his truck motor still running. 🍺 🍺🍺 🍺 🍹 🍺 🍺

I'd rather overspend on Chungh then Burnham/Walker....

I mean ... really? You think this is salary cap related? He's most certainly taking a pay cut to do this. He's just planning for a career that has a longer term outlook than football and props to him for it.

O'shea has taken his fair share of criticisms over the years but it's undeniable that he's been instrumental in turning around the state and reputation of this franchise. We were the absolute laughingstock of the league and slowly but surely Walters and O'shea have turned the Bombers into one of the premiere destinations in the league and year in-year out contenders. I have no doubt that O'shea will win a grey cup as a head coach at some point. What I'm glad to see is that he didn't "learn" to do the job here and move on to Toronto to lead them. I'm 100% on board with O'shea's extension.

all I gotta say tho...sure glad we are in the situation we are, and have the structure in the front office and down the coaching ranks we have
