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.

McGuire retiring knows his time was up.

Good question, in Mitchell's case I'd like to find out.

I was never impressed with Cornelius. That was Elizondo pushing him as a starter all the way.

A 7th round pick by Jones.

I think Elingson is a replacement for Adams. We still haven't replaced Lawler. Imagine if Bryant Mitchell signed?

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.

Rod Black comes home. Maybe CJOB waits till April 1st to make the announcement. As heads explode.

As Billy Joel once sang, "You may be wrong for all I know but you may be right."

When Harris goes into the Hall Of Fame., I don't think it'll be as a Bomber. I think he'll be pissed off enough to give the Bombers the finger. As I said a few weeks ago, this reminds me of the divorce the Bombers had with another 1,000 yard Canadian Fullback & All Star Gerry James. It was pretty messy having to do 100% with his toxic relationship with Bud Grant. James is still alive & to this day I don't think he wants much to do with the Bombers even though Wade Miller honoured James by putting his name on the Ring Of Honour. Old wounds still cut deep.

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.

Jones has Arbuckle & Cornelius. He should worry about his team. Jones has always been an ass clown.

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.

One year deals.

Yeah, we sure didn't run a professional organization back then like we do now. Cal cut everything & I remember how negative the feelings were about him back then. Poplawski retired because Ranger Insurance needed his full time attendance but releasing Reaves, Hufnagel & Clements made fans upset. Cal never saw a loonie he didn't like. Dewalt who replaced Clements played terribly & was eventually released. How we won the 1988 Grey Cup with Sean Salisbury & Lee Saltz at qb is beyond me.

I never heard that story.

I'd like tio see it here.

CFL contracts aren't guaranteed. Neither are bonuses. Players get cut all the time.

re-signed or resigned?

Nichols had spent 7 or 8 years in the CFL with Edmonton before he got here. He was no rookie. I want to be 25 again but alas... Ain't happening.

LaPo has no idea how to develop a qb. He was a receiver in D3. He's never had to stare down a blitz. Or standing in there while his pocket collapses waiting for a receiver to get open knowing he's going to get killed but does it anyway. He ran routes. LaPo is totally overrated. i expect we'll see it now with Massoli as his qb. He'll have no more excuses left.

That 88 off season was the one where Joe Pop retired, Willard Reaves & Tom Clements were released. That was also the season that Cal put a Coke machine in the locker room & the players had to pay for it which set off a lot of veterans negatively. As well as cementing Cal's reputation of a cheapskate.

One of the things Dustin Nielsen has to learn is being more assertive with Glenn Suitor. To reign him in so he doesn't set the pace of the broadcast saying stupid things or talks too much. Suitor thinks he's the star in the booth when he shouldn't be. I sometimes got the feeling he pushed Nielsen around in a verbal way at times because he's the "veteran" in the booth. I didn't get a sense of chemistry between them like we see with a duo like Jim Nantz & Tony Romo on CBS, for example. Romo may have been the star qb in Dallas but in the booth you can see he respects Nantz & isn't pushy like Suitor is. Suitor comes across as having very little respect for Nielsen. More like, "Hey kid, don't worry. I got this. You just do pbp & I'll do the rest". Nielsen just lets him get away with it. I'd say Brown will have a big say in who he works with.

That's the problem. They won't get rid of them. Police are useless. No one can't tell me that they aren't getting their marching orders from provincial governments. That is a lie. Politicians are interfering in policing.
