He doesn't have any interest in Rabb.  It is the fact that the Bombers don't want him that Nate has interest in him.    If the Bombers were welcoming him with open arms, then the rhetoric would be about the Bombers old boys club being back in play.  That a business man instead of a civil servent is representing the city.
 
Don't you know that anyone in the Jets or Bombers organizations are either incompetent, vermin, or 2nd rate.  So anything they do is wrong, and anything they don't want to do... they should be doing.   Keep that in mind, and you will understand pretty much all of his posts.

Maurice was just on Dave Naylor's radio show talking about how great of a leader Ladd is. Said he was impressed the way he got them to keep going full out even though they were out of the playoffs, especially the Saturday night game against the Leafs. He also talked about what a great show of leadership it was to voluntarily take the bag skate with his teammates when he could have skipped it due to his injury.
 
He said the way the leadership group kept this team going at the end of the season was a big part of why he wanted to stay with the Jets. He could have found work elsewhere if he wanted to.
 
So in summary, Ladd's a terrible captain...

I hate to pick on Nate but again I wonder if you watch hockey.  You seem very negative on everything.
 
As for Ladd, 30 goals puts him in top six in my opinion.  A great team probably has him as the 3rd line LW or *maybe* 2nd line LW.  And thats how the Jets use him.  Kane-Scheif-Wheeler became our top line regardless of how the depth chart was printed.
 
Ladd is a good leader and captain but maybe not the right leader and captain for a team like the Jets. I have no problem with Ladd.  He's the type of character guy that championship teams have up and down their line up - not flashy but good.

I'll take a Grey Cup win in November 

Debatable whether they have to release Glenn due to salary.
 
They would have inherited his Calgary contract, where I believe it was heavily based on playing time since he was signed to be the veteran backup there.
 
Glenn would still be making decent coin, just not QB starter money if he doesn't start.     The question is can they afford that with the truck load they paid Burris.

When you get a loan from a bank to buy a car or a house and that car or house gets damaged, is it your responsibility to decide who and how the damage is going to be repaired or does the bank get to step in and tell you how to do it.
 
Doesn't matter if a payment hasn't been made yet, the terms of the loan specify that they haven't had to make a payment yet (yes its been renegotiated but it still has been agreed upon).  The Bombers haven't defaulted on any payments yet.

You really think in the heat of a game when a player takes a penalty that this is what is going through their minds?

Disagree.
 
As I said the taxpayer is entitled to know the cost of the damage and who is going to pay for it. 
 
That is different then letting in media and photographers for the sole purpose of a splash headline and photo.
 
You as a taxpayer can't walk into any government building and demand to see their books and investigate yourself.   You can only see auditor reports.

Why do people think they are entitled to see the damage in the stadium?  Is it because the team is community owned?  The price tag to the club or the tax payer is fair game once it is determined, but nothing else.  
 
As for diffusing the situation with the media, once the leak got out, nothing was going to diffuse that.  Parading a bunch of reporters and camera men in so that news outlets can get a splashy picture and headline would not have made this news any better.  It would be much worse. 
 
If there was water damage in the MTS centre over the summer, do you think True North would acquiesce to any media demands to see it?   No, they wouldn't.  And it probably would never leak either.

If I was the Bombers I wouldn't give Friesen access to see the damages either.
 
First, because Friesen puts a negative slant on almost everything he writes.   So he isn't the one I'm going to pick to bring in.
 
Second. I'm not letting any media in until any insurance claims and fault is determined.  
 
I don't have any issues with their response to Friesen.   It is a two way street.  If the media want exclusives and stories, they need to play the game back with the organization.

Look on the bright side, Toby Enstrom won't be the highest paid Jet anymore.
