Blue Bomber Media Guide 1997

Greg Battle

He used to work for the Bombers didn't he? They fired or laid him off, right? Carrying a grudge, I suspect.

This.

A very interesting interview with Dieter Brock....

Sad for me is knowing I'll never go back there.

We all know Osh. If all is well at the Bomber offices then why would he even think of saying anything publicly or trot LaPo out to say all is fine? He'll just keep it all in house & move on. That is how he works.

We used to fish at Pointe Du Bois when I was a kid & my father was alive. We'd drive to PDB & my father would launch the boat & then we'd travel about 20 miles up the Winnipeg River. Great fishing back then. Walleye, perch, smallmouth bass & Northern Pike. My uncle always wanted to catch that elusive monster sturgeon. My dad's friend fished for goldeye & mooneye. The Winnipeg River was a great fishery.

Do you guys remember Peter Watts from TSN back in the 80's? He passed away a few days ago here in Calgary. He had been working at 770 CHQR radio the past 20 years. He was in hospital being treated for blood poisoning & suffered an aneurysm. He was 68. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/video/wonder/peter-watts-at-coda-cup/vi-BBSqRI9

He'd never win anything in Cincinnatti.

Then if he quits, he quits. He still won't coach the Riders. You're quoting Rider freaking Stronson????? Is he even relevant?

If LaPo is THAT UPSET then he can simply resign & sit out the year without being paid. Disgruntled employees do that. They quit. But he's supposedly the highest paid OC in the CFL so will he do that because he's soooo unhappy like Lalji claims & Rider fans hope? Doubt it. He's got a great gig with the Bombers & he knows it.

LaPo's been a HC in this league. He's been an assistant for a long time as well so I'mpretty sure he knows the score. If he doesn't understand the situation then he isn't very smart or very naïve. Why would the Bombers just let him walk away now? If he's upset you have to ask why? They let him interview for the Argos HC position so saying that the team is denying him the opportunity to be a HC is completely false.

Riders doing their best to rock the boat on other teams after they know coaching staffs have been set. They should promote from within & move on. Jones ****** them over. This isn't the Bombers fault. Business is business.

So, Geoff Currier doesn't know a thing.

Thank you, Kyle Walters.

Why the hell would we do that? Why don't we worry about our team's interests first instead of the Riders? If this is true & we lose LaPo I won't be happy.

RedBlacks (Desjardins) taking a beating on twitter for denying the Riders permission to speak to Elizondo. All tweets saying Desjardins is being petty & unfair by not allowing him an opportunity to be a HC. They must all be Rider fans. It's nearly February & why should Ottawa hurt themselves to help Saskatchewan?

I'd love to see the old Winnipeg to Minneapolis snowmobile race come back. That race was world famous.

Wasted opportunity tonight.

It came down to me between Buddy Tinsley & Stan Mikawos. I went with the HOFer as it separated the 2 in my mind. You said a guy like D I c k Huffman doesn't deserve the award because he played in an era of smaller, less athletic & slower players then why even nominate players from the 50's & earlier? Just make it the past 30-40 years & be done with it. You are too quick to dismiss these players as non factors. The only thing that makes them non factors is the fact no one here ever saw them play. Again, just responding to your comments.

No one will sign him after what he did. The CFL GMs are a closed society. They may compete but they're all friends. He wrote his own ticket outta town when he stole that $70,000.

LOL

Had to think about this. Doug Brown is a given. But the second player?? I considered Joe Fleming as well as John Helton but those 2 players really made their names as Stampeders not as Blue Bombers. Then there was Stan Mikawos, a local boy who had a distinguished career as a Blue Bomber with 2 Grey Cup victories on his resume. I had nominated Joe Critchlow who was an outstanding DT in his own right but in the end I had to vote for 2 HOFers in Brown & Buddy Tinsley.
