Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
SpeedFlex27 replied to Wideleft's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I've been saying this since pre season last year & yet we can't seem to rectify the situation like other teams can. We let Sayles go to free agency & didn't seem to go after any free agents as well which is a real concern. -
2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Read a story about the Montreal Gazette which is owned by Postmedia. They were supposed to lay off a number of writers, reporters & production staff last week. Something in the order of 30 people. However, public backlash once the move became public was so severe that PM only laid off a handful of employees, including longtime sportswriter Pat Hickey who covered all the pro sports in Montreal. A consortium headed by former Gazette columnist David Farber attempted to buy the Gazette from Postmedia so they could run it independently. However, PM refused to sell even though PM itself is losing hundreds of millions of dollars itself each year. Seems the majority of PM's shares are owned by hedge fund out of New Jersey who seems hell bent on destroying the newspaper industry in Canada. In other words, they'd rather grind each paper into ground than sell off their newspaper assets. -

Tait works for the Bombers. He can't be critical of the team by calling them out or he's fired. He's not a columnist. Columnists are paid to have an opinion & for giving it. Having said that, I like Ed Tait. I'd rather he be doing that than being silenced by the Postmedia purge of the newspaper industry in this country. So many talented writers & reporters silenced. Postmedia are ******* bastards. -

Why haven't we addressed the interior of the Defensive Line. Why can some teams find big run stoppers in the middle & we can't? This is our defense's achilles heel. Please ask both Walters & O'Shea that question. As the Lions only gave up a conditional fourth round pick & with the contract he signed, did the Bombers try to acquire Dane Evans? -

The Bombers should launch a lawsuit aginst him & the Riders for slander. That would get that liyttle urchin's attention. Probably lead to his firing. -
Everybody trashes the CBC but if it wasn't for them we'd probably not know who Gordon Pinsent was. The CBC gave Canadian actors work back in those days. I know Lorne Greene, John Vernon & others got their first tv exposure with the CBC.

He got a two year $4.5 million deal with incentives for another 2 million. They wanted Beathard back. Rourke's going to find the NFL a humbling & frustrating experience like most CFL qbs that went through this also have. -
i first watched Gordon Pinsent on the CBC tv series, The Forest Rangers from 1963-66. He plays RCMP Officer Sgt Scott, a Mountie who is stationed at Indian River in Northern Ontario at a Hudson Bay post called Indian River. Rest In Peace, Gordon Pinsent.

What? Is this a Manitoba problem? That's terrible. Having to go to Cleveland?? You can say what you want about Alberta politics but I've never heard that option being mentioned to anyone on a waiting list here. My orthopedic surgeon has a waiting list of a year. It took me 3 months to see him this time. I didn't need another referral as he already knew me & kept it open for me to get my knee done when I was ready. He has wanted me to have the surgery since I first saw him in late 2018. I guess I'm lucky. I hope things work out for you getting your knee done much sooner than later. He's finished before he started. Beathard is Number 2 in stone. The articles I've read don't even mention Rourke. -

I think I've told the story before where the Stamps refuse to do what the Bombers do. To have a 3 or 5 game flex pack. They have no special packages for families. The club used to have the Safeway & London Drugs Family Section where a ticket was $30 at one of those stores. They had them for years but Safeway no longer sells those tickets. There's virtually no marketing/advertising for tickets of any kind. It's no wonder the team didn't have more than 15-18,000 at most games last year. The Stamps have to be the worst (laziest? cheapest??) team in the CFL. Speaking of Flex Packs, I have to decide if I'm going to renew my 3 game pack. I got a call from the Bombers last week asking me what I was going to do. I want to renew but I have a knee replacement booked at the Rockyview Hospital on April 19th. I won't be able to travel for 6-8 weeks as I could be at risk for a blood clot. Then I'll have to do some pretty intense physio to get my range of motion back in my knee. So, by the time I can actually go to a game it'll be September. I'm hoping to get to the Banjo Bowl. That's my goal. Go to the Banjo Bowl. I'll probably give up my Flex Pack for 2023. -

Obviously not. -
If they don't, they don't. Things happen for a reason. I'm sure Chipman will extend Chevy's contract if they don't.

We all know Evans & what to expect. We also know that when he plays if he has a couple of sacks or gets smacked around. his game craters. At 30 years of his age, it's hard for a Leopard to change his spots. Looks like he's a backup now. -

SpeedFlex27 replied to Wideleft's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
You're correct but most kicks bend as they travel. This one was left almost right off the bat. I could tell on the replay Leggs didn't hit it like he should have. i just want to be clear, I think Leggs will be a great punter. I'm just not sure he's a pro kicker. He'll be on the Bomber roster next season in some capacity. -

I saw MBT ratch out being when being taken out of a game up 35 or down 35 it didn't matter. Or start fighting on the sidelines with Brandon banks. I guess that's unique leadership. -

He hit it & it was going to the left. Fans & media at the game who saw it were also saying so. -

I have no problem with Legghio being our full time punter but I sure do as a kickoff specialist & kicker. We need real kicking compettition at TC & not someone who was even worse like Ali Mourtada. -

It takes years to rebuild an OL as we found out here. The Riders are hoping a couple of old veterans will turn things around. Which it won't. -

Or the talk that we give up too soon & don't bother to develop them. Like one poster said, "Does it matter??" -

Again, like Colin, I ask you just who are these great kickers you both allude to? Give us some names. Don't say Paredes as that's already been covered. And we replaced Lirim Hajrullahu with Medlock which was a no brainer. American kicker Brent Maher??? Since 2014, when he was releasd by the Bombers he's been with 11 CFL & NFL teams. How can a team develop a vagabond kicker whose only interest is to chase the money like that??? Take away those 3 names in the last decade to 15 years, then who are you talking about?
