Old school coach so Old School ways. He was from Oklahoma & played fullback for the Bombers in the very early 50's. His Bomber training camps were the stuff of legends. Exceedingly tough with hitting & full pads during 2 a days for weeks. In those days TC & a 4 game exhibition season went something like 45 days.

No, the Bombers in 2013 were worse. Remember Jason Boltus & Max Hall? I think it's over for Matt Nichols.

He was 2-14 in 1970 taking over from Joe Zaleski who was fired. In 1971, he was 7-8-1 with newcomers Don Jonas,at qb. He went 10-6 in 1972 & finished first in the West. In 1973, GM Lunsford ripped the team apart cutting Herron & Thorpe after they were arrested for weed possession. A team that was primed to challenge for the Grey Cup in 1973 became a 4-11-1 last place team in the West. Lunsford made Spavital the scapegoat worried about saving his ass. The day Lunsford was fired in 1982 & was replaced by Paul Robson was a great day for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

I lived thru the Joe zaleski years & while he was waaaay in over his head as Grant's replacement, you had to respect the work he did as an assistant coach with 4 Grey Cup victories in 6 appearances. But the team he inherited... all the great players retired en masse over a 2 year period. He wasn't left with much to work with. It was abysmal but the guy tried hard to make chicken salad out of chicken feathers. The worst period for me was the Tim Burke-Garth Butchko era. It was awful. Those teams in 2012 & 13 were the worst Blue Bomber teams I have ever seen. And as good as Tim Burke was as a DC, he was the worst Head Coach the Bomber organization ever had. The man quit on his team. So, his team quit on him, as well. It was total darkness for me as a fan. The Jeff Reinbold era was a joke. He wasn't ready but he had nice hair.

Actually Kenney going MIA is a good thing as he may set an all time record for dislike when it comes to a Canadian Premier. Something so low he & the UCP can't crawl out of.

The CFLPA agreed to this & the Esks will carry 5 extra players on their roster for those 3 games. They should have forfeited. The players & mgmt deserved this. No sympathy from me. Man up & get it done. Congrats Elizondo & Sunderland. Job well done. I'm just glad they didn't **** with our schedule.

I think I remember something about his wife being very sick when Burke was Head Coach. If true, then he was facing trouble at home with personal issues along with trying to coach a very bad football team. It might have been better if he had stepped down. It wasn't talked about much by the media but I do remember a mention. I hope she is alright today.

Mike Kelly was bizarre but the team was competitive to a point. You weren't around for the Joe Zaleski & Jeff Reinbold eras. Terrible coaching with tewrrible players. The most inept though was the Tim Burke era 2012 & 13. Probably the worst Blue Bomber teams ever assembled that I have ever seen. Certainly the worst HC we ever had. He just gave up.

I'm no Mitchell fan going back to the time he made fun of us in a halftime interview a few years ago. Yeah, he's cocky & arrogant but in the heat of the moment people say things they shouldn't. I think his best days are behind him. You won't be seeing him play at 35 or 36 like Michael Reilly.

Ha, ha. He wasn't wrong. Biggest play of the season & Andrew Buckley the backup QB carried the ball on third down & lost yards. All they had to do was hand the ball off to Jerome Messam from the one & he'd be in. Dumb. Just like the Seattle Seahawks not giving the ball to Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch on the one & threw an interception on the goal line to lose the Super Bowl. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Coaches get too cute & outsmart themselves.

Bo Levi has a lot of miles on that body as he's been beaten up pretty good. Zero threat to run even if healthy. He's been a starter for something like 8 seasons & he had shoulder surgery in 2019. People are noticing his throwing mechanics seem off like Nichols. He doesn't have the horses around him that he used to have although Dave Dickenson is a very good qb coach & OC. I think his best days are behind him. He may have some gas in the tank but the engine is wearing out.

The Stamps have removed Bo Levi Mitchell from the 6 game injured list & he is now eligible to start practicing. Basically, he's played like **** the entire season. Jake Maier who has sparked the team with his surprisingly fine play will sit when Bo is good & ready. "Thanks kid. You did okay but this is MY team. Not yours. Just remember that".

Elks are pretty disfunctional. They lied when they claimed they did their due dilligence checking if players were vaccinated. I think it was Jamie Elizondo whao said that.

No team is allowed to sign him this year. The anti vaxxers think it's unfair. The Eskimos used to be the best organization in the CFL. Now under Brock Sunderland, they've become a joke to their fanbase & around the CFL.

Tell us how you really think!!! Lol.

Yeah, pretty selfish & stupid.

Should the Bombers sign OL Jacob Ruby?

William Stanback again. Bounce back game.

Football is a collision sport. No way getting around that.

Stamps had a hot qb He really looked like a winner Ultimately we came through again.

Nothing for Ottawa.

Wouldn't Matt & Milt have to quarantine every time they flew back to Dallas & Atlanta? That's why they are doing remotes.

I wish we'd throw a pass to Woli as a slot. Every year we say he needs to get more involved & every year it never changes. And this answer should have been for wbbfan.

What are your dogs names?
