Oh yeah, he's gonna change. Don't be stupid. As far as you calling me, negative? Check the mirror, pal.

If Walters sits on his hands under his fat ass & does nothing again in free agency, we're cooked.

My son Tyler texted me this morning about the shooting of a former college coach at Laney College in Oakland, California. He was very upset & was questioning what is happening to society. Turns out the text was about former Laney College Head Coach John Beam. Tyler played against Beam & Laney College when he was at College Of The Siskiyous as they were in the same conference. Beam saw Tyler throw at a private qb workout on the field at Laney College back in 2011. They talked about him attending Laney College but Oakland is an economically depressed city & the campus at laney is right in the middle of that urbal blight. It's a dangerous place. Poverty, homelessness, drug use & crime was & still is very high right around the campus. When we were at the campus, the police came into the stadium to clear out people living in tents under the stands. Laney did not offer on campus residences so we'd have to have found somewhere for Tyler to live in the Hood, No way he was going there. Then Tyler saw the Netflix series last Chance U that featured John Beam & Laney College. He saw what kind of coach & leader that he was. When he found out Beam was shot dead, I could tell he was very upset. Rest In Peace, John Beam. For everything you did for others, you didn't deserve what happened to you. What a shitty world we live in. https://www.cp24.com/news/sports/2025/11/14/john-beam-beloved-former-football-coach-featured-in-netflixs-last-chance-u-dies-after-shooting-on-california-campus/

So, so right,

Osh's first OC & DC were Marcel Bellefeuille )I believe) & Etch. Osh was STC. No promising assistants would come here. They aren't the Canadian Mafia anymore. They're the Three Stooges. This just smells so bad. It's like it's 2013 all over again. With the admin cap if this team craters then we're totally effed so bad.

If anyone thinks Osh will change is dreaming. Another year of the same. Include Jake & Kolo coming back.

JFC, what a joke. Same old ****. Nothing changes...

I used to call him Muchacho when he was Esks HC. Ole...

The Als had no CFL All Stars either. Think they'll be fired up to win on Sunday?

Coach leaves pretty much guarantees he's gone. Knowing Osh, if he stays he'll probably bring him back. Wouldn't want to admit he was wrong.

Old coaches do lose touch. Ritchie sure did. I remember OL Coach Bill McDermott coaching in the CFL. His last stop was Edmonton in the early 2010's. The man was in his 60's & needed two knee replacements. McDermott could barely walk & every step looked painful (I could relate as I was just like that before I had my 2 knee replacements). I wondered why he put himself through such torture everyday during the season. It's all these older coaches know as they've been at it so long. It's like being in cruise control, Fourty five or more seasons coaching will do that. Guys like McDemott, Allen & Ritchie just do it. Sounds like we can add Osh to that list. Premature aging. I'd still like to see Alexander laid out. He needs a serious case of humbling that huge ego he has.

I DON'T like Davis Alexander as he is a total dickhead but my hate for the Riders run deep. I don't want them to win in our barn. So, I'm pulling for the Als.

Former LA Rams & Washington Head Coach George Allen was just like Osh. Allen claimed for every starting rookie in the lineup, it equates to losing one game each. So if 7 rookies started they'd lose a minimum of 7 games. Of course, Allen was in his late 50's or early 60's when he coached Washington & lost in Super Bowl VII. Allen wasn't wrong as it does have some merit. Rookies do make mistakes but I've seen veteran players who know better make stupid mistakes as well. So to base that as a team building coaching philosphy is absolutely ridiculous & closed minded. Another reason I hope Osh leaves.

I find these awards fire up the team that gets shut out or doesn't get as many awards as the other. Remember the cockiness of the Ti Cats in 2019? They acted like they were going to wipe the floor with the Bombers. I know our players used that as motivation to put Hamilton in its place. The East being shut out should get Montreal going to prove the voters wrong.

Our problem isn't drafting good Canadians. The problem is we don't keep them. Either we undervalue them going into free agency or just let them walk. That's an organizational thing that falls on Walters shoulders & it makes no sense. IT NEEDS TO STOP!!!

Michael Ball is a nutbar. The guy is an embarrassment to his son Ethan, his family, the Riders & the Bombers. .

That's one guy we should be talking to. I wonder who the Als American scouts are? They found those receivers & Davis Alexander. No. I'd have to agree. He's retired. It's hard to believe that in 1988 & 90 when Mike Riley won those 2 Grey Cups that he was the youngest head coach in the CFL.

In pro football, the NFL the coaching eras of Tom Landry, George Halas, Vince Lombardi & Bill Belichek all came to an end. In the CFL. Bud Grant, Frank Clair, Wally Buono & Don Matthews all ended. In hockey, Punch Imlach, Emil Francis, Scotty Bowman & Al Arbour all came to an end. In baseball so did Managers Sparky Anderson, Tommy Lasorda & Billy Martin. They all ended. Some on their own terms, others not so fortunate. Eventually the message dulls over time & players tune out. In Winnipeg, Mike O'Shea's time is ending & he should sense it before he's shown the door. Now's the time to bow out on his terms.

I'd like to know who works under Maccioccia as Asst GM. That organization is outstanding. They've found some great talent the past 3 seasons. Whoever that is, would be worth an interview.

We have 3 good young OL now in Wallace, Vanterpool & Randolph signed. I like those 3 pieces a lot. Now with free agency maybe we can pick up a starting Center or LT. We have Neufeld & Stan as well who probably won't go far away. They can change positions & still we'd be okay.

Macciocia. Football poobah & czar.

Whoops, meant Bud. Not Mike. Bud was Brock's first CFL Head Coach. He was a miserable sumbitch as Bomber HC. Feuded with the media & in particular Jack Matheson. The fans used to get on Bud something fierce with the playcalling. Sound familiar? But his son Mike was polar opposite. Loved by everyone. Gonna change that name. Thanks, Booch,

Great coach. He resurrected Dieter Brock's career which was on the rocks under Bud Riley. Riley made him a sprint out passer. left & right. See just half the field, do a couple of reads & throw on the run.... Jauch took the time needed to teach Brock to read the whole field, go thru all his reads & get rid of the ball with his lightning release & rocket for an arm. Built an outstanding OL around Brock to give him time to throw. The rest is history.
