TBURGESS

I don't mind moving the hash marks in, but I don't expect that will result in anything more than higher FG %.

Yum. My next quest shall be to Fat Burger.

No love for 5 Guys? Great burgers, lots of toppings, great fries. Happy happy joy joy for any burger efficienado.

It's a problem right now. It will continue to be a problem until it is addressed. Will Walters fix it? We'll see. It's not like he's always fixed things in the past.

Our kickers proved they couldn't get the job done last year, which is why we brought Castillo in in the first place.. Maybe they get better. Maybe they don't. It's a problem unless one of them works out. That's not sour/angry or negative. It's just a fact. This regime has made tons of mistakes in the past. They've had 1 great season + 1 great playoffs. That doesn't make them infallible.

I'd go Hill then Murphy.

You're using terrible 'equivalencies' as usual & we don't even know if Tui wants to play any more. He's given up once before.

Politicians are lifting restrictions right now, but that doesn't mean they'll still be lifted by summer or fall.

Gotta say, I'd go back to Vancouver in a heat beat if I could afford it. Love the weather. Not as much rain as I was expecting and the city shuts down the 2 days it snows each year. Beautiful City. Great food. Great parks. Go to the beach in the city. Walk everywhere if you live downtown or take the skytrain if you don't. Skiing in the winter. Trips to Seattle or down to the warehouse stores for my wife whenever we wanted. It was paradise for us. I wouldn't move back to Winnipeg if you paid me.

If the player is one of ours then a DUI or getting caught with PED's in your system is fine. Players from other teams with similar situations are pieces of crap with low moral character who would never be welcome on a MOS team and should be suspended right away. It is known. It is the way.

There are no rules for jersey's for me. Be a fan what ever way you want to. Even if you wear another teams jersey I'm OK with it. I wore Bomber jerseys in pretty much every stadium in the league at one time.

Just gotta give you a on a Joe Pop jersey. One of my favourite players back in the day.

I never heard about it, but If I had, I would have mentioned it and all heck would have broken on these boards. If Harris had signed with us, it would still be a fact that wasn't blabbed about in the papers or online.

I'm someone. I feel it was strictly about the money. I'm discussing it. If Harris was really willing to sign, hand him a pen and he'd sign. If not, then he wasn't really willing to sign. Disrespect is the excuse/justification. You can call that calling him a liar if you want, but understand that's your word not mine. Nothing is offensive and no one is saying it is. No one is telling you what you can or can't discuss. No one has any problem with the discussion. Some of us are simply pointing out that Bomber fans are just like Rider fans when players leave. Last year, no one talked about Harris not being in shape or that his head wasn't in it or his personal problems or losing MOS' trust (Why was he even talking to MOS anyway? He should have been talking to Walters) or his lack of practice (He didn't need to cuz he's a vet) or anything negative at all. He was the home town hero who got us to back to back GC's. He was worth every penny of his contract &, he needed to be re-signed to retire as a Bomber at all costs. Saying anything else would get you 3+ days of arguments. It's not just about this article. Rumours started last month about Harris' attitude & work ethic last year. 20-20 hindsight would say that's when we should have known that Harris was done with the Bombers. The media machine was already gearing up to the Bombers moving on from Harris. Fans are lapping it up.

Not even being the highest paid RB on the team is the disrespect that Harris is really upset about. The Bombers had to sign the other RB's first. If they don't get that done, then they need Harris back and the offer goes up, which works in Harris' favour. Saying you were willing to sign a contract that you didn't sign doesn't mean anything. If he was really willing to sign it, he would have.

If that's true, then folks are focusing on the wrong things. When a star leaves a team for another team, stuff will be said that wouldn't have been said in the past. Info will be 'leaked' that shows the star in a bad light. Folks will 'remember' things that show the star in a different light. Fans who are upset try to pull the star off the pedestal and find 'reasons' that moving on is OK. For Harris it was get less than 130K and retire in blue or 165K and play for Toronto. We all know his decision and good luck to him.

It's about the money, not the workout or anything else for that matter. Has Augustine's contract gone public? Harris was offered less than Augustine, which was the right thing for the Bombers to do... Give Harris the chance to end his career at home in blue. Harris chose money, which was the right thing for him to do. Bomber fans act like Rider fans when a great player leaves, which is what both teams fans always do.

Castillo is rumoured to be going to EDM. I'd hardly call him a fringe guy. Eli is the 6 OL, but likely won't be back due to Covidiot-ness. Not a starter yet, but a key backup piece. Alexander isn't signed yet and even if/when he is, he won't be a starter for the first third of the season. McQuire looks to be moving on, meaning our backup QB spot is actually worse than it was last year and it was bad then. Grant's not signed yet. Maybe he's back. Maybe not. It is what it is. When you're the top team in the league, other teams will want your players. You're destined to be worse the next season UNLESS you can sign good replacements. We'll see if that happens before TC.

As it stands right now: Out: Adams - OTT Alford - NFL Antigha - EDM Darby - OTT Harris - TOR Jones - MTL Kongbo - NFL Lawler - EDM Richardson - BC That's a ton of talent and more losses to come. In: Ellingson

Andrew Harris is dead to me until he signs his 1 day contract to retire as a Bomber.

Now that Lawler's going to Edmonton, BC has some money to sign other FA's. Any decent OL left?

Alexander's going to be gone for 6 games. Why would anyone sign him now instead of later?

I love it around here in the off season. Our guys sign for less than they were reportedly offered and it's what a great guy, he loves it here. Other teams sign a player for less than they were reportedly offered and it's Ha Ha Ha, they were never offered that and they are overpaid at what they're getting.

Hawaii and it's not even close.

I'd take Brady O over Harris at this point in their careers. Harris was the highest paid RB in the league for good reason, but we don't need to pay his salary level with our O line to get similar performance numbers. Harris can make more on a team like Ottawa or BC who need starting grade NI talent badly than we should pay him. If that's his decision, then more power to him.
