Mike

I guess this would be a good time to mention that if Mack always listened to Walters, we'd have Edem and Pasztor over Mulumba and Pencer but we'd also have Mitchell over Muamba.

Third year is rarely guaranteed.

It's true, you told me your story and it sounded like a bunch of baloney to me.

Is that what I got that email from Pinnacle for? BriceDream, what do you think???

I'd like to see Burke given the key to a city. Preferably Toronto or Calgary.

Not that I need to say it, but there's (as of right now, since who knows what could happen) absolutely nothing to any of that crap.

Think again. Ownership approval on trades is pretty much standard in ANY professional sport.

If week after week you prepare flawlessly and then fail to execute then newsflash you are not preparing flawlessly.

What ever happened to in game coaching? If the problem was practice habits not translating into game execution, where were the adjustments? What approach did they take to coaching these guys up on the sidelines? Aside from standing there like a miserable statue or screaming their heads off.

Where did it say he was leaving? Nowhere. false. Last in 2010 Tied for last in 2012. Probably last this year. There are no ties in the final standing because they have something called tiebreakers. I know Bombers technically finished second last because they beat Hamilton in the season series. Big Deal. They still tied for last with 6 wins. Last is last. And the Bombers have had good practice at it in recent years. And this is still Joe Mack's team as far as I'm concerned so the probable last place finish this season will be on him as well. Last is last. Except when I'm trying to argue. In that case, second last is also last.

You think Calgary would have found a way to coach Goltz into any kind of successful? The guy is Russell Wilson without any remote semblance of accuracy... Really? I likened him more to Doug Flutie with some height but no arm. ... what a weird comparison

A whole lotta this. It didn't work out for him as HC, and there's no question it's time to move in another direction, but really...he's not a bad guy. Hell, we all LOVED the guy for a long time. Some people act like he killed your family... He's killing our football team and to me, that's pretty close.

I don't think it's right to come out and publicly doubt the work ethic of your players and then tell people they can figure out who those players are by whether or not they're kept in the offseason. Because now you're putting that doubt in every player we don't retain.

I think that he's making a lot of reasonable decisions that will probably appear as conflicts of interest, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad choices. If Buchko brought in Worman or Fisher, I wouldn't be complaining. So why would I complain if Miller does it? As long as he's capable of making both kinds of hires, I'm fine.

Here's Burke effectively throwing every player we don't retain this offseason under the bus So what he's saying is that he's not going to name names and now people are just free to assume that anyone who doesn't return could be because of poor work ethic.

It was already in place.

Well that'd be awfully ironiclol touche.. but burkes only been a hc for how long? mistakes are to be expected unfortunately.. Burke's been a head coach for longer than the majority of our roster have been pro football players. i dunno, guys who go thru big colleges are trained to be "pros" living by certain restrictions and acting a certain way.. you pull the same stuff as a pro in college, you get the boot.. i get you despise burke and his HC ability thus far but you gotta admit, he is (was?) not in the best position for success.. he would have to been an outstanding head coach to have any.success with the bullshit that has gone on here in the the last 2 seasons.. rarely. As for Burke, he has himself to blame for a strong majority of this team's issues.

false. No kidding lol 1 out of 3 seasons and it was his first

Just thought this was worth mentioning ... For all this talk about how bad our team is and if we're really right for assuming the staff is the issue, all that discussion as to whether the problem is the staff or the players ... There are now three players on other rosters in the CFL who were originally on our negotiation list but refused to play for this franchise because of apprehension due to the current staff that is in place. DE Eric Norwood on Hamilton, good rotational guy in his first CFL season. Very Kenny Mainor-esque. WR Jeff Fuller on Calgary, I'm sure we'd love to have a 6'4" receiver going across the middle like this guy has so far DE Aaron Maybin on Toronto, waited almost two years for this guy to show an interest in the CFL and then when he finally did, he said "sure, but not in Winnipeg" and now the former first round NFL pick is in Toronto

So you really have no idea, you just don't think the optics are right?

I'm actually pretty pumped for this. Good for the club and the city. Hopefully we're fielding a CFL team by then.

I found a copy of his shit list. Found here: http://bluebombers.com/roster/index/team/5

Denmark, no. Max Hall, yes. Muamba and Jade ... those are raw first round picks who start with a base of what is basically zero. Of COURSE they're going to improve. What about our imports?

Please name one player who has improved under Burke's watch.

If Burke gets to stay on with the club ... I don't even know how I'd react. Probably ... followed by followed by
