I'm always a sucker for CFL gossip, but I would bet this last year was a doozy in terms of the crap that went on in that locker room.

Didn't Austin coach at Cornell? That's what the Nard-dog told me anyway.

I could never figure out why Calgary let that guy go. It would be like BC giving us Eliminian.

The original mascot looked like Kevin Glenn but they changed their minds and went with an even older more experienced version.

Hmmm....wonder what problems? Seems unusual for a team with a 3-15 record and a vacant stare for a head coach.

Yeah the old Bomber teams in the 1980's used to pick up guys from other teams that were deemed expendable and still squeeze some good years out of them. John Helton was another one, as well as David Shaw. Under Mack all we did was sign youngsters with no experience and be shocked when they looked like lost sheep on the field. It would be great if we could go back to those old days where we get the best out of guys that other teams didn't want any more.

They should hire Mack as a consultant, then they could be one of the youngest and least talented teams in the CFL.

Agreed. One thing I won't miss was his annoying habit he developed in the past two years of complaining to the refs after every incomplete pass to call pass interference. I hope that the receivers this year stop doing that. All it does is make the refs not want to call the PI, even if it's blatant.

so is Sims-Walker coming back? His twitter feed is an enigma.

Nate was mentioned in another thread and I just saw this post-mordem post of his on Riderfans: T Edwards was an above average import receiver who managed to coax 9 years out of a hurt body and a turf toe foot. His speed was average (or less), his hands were above average - he even ventured into unthinkable territory to nab suicide passes from guys like Pierce, Brink, Elliott, Goltz, Hall, etc. He's an instant entrant into the Blue Bomber Hall of Fame where the main standard (at least in last 15 years) is what kind of a community guy you were. His statue will be right beside Wadzilla Miller and Big Bubba Brown, other "Hall of Fame" bombers. Part of the 'amazing core' Mike O'Shea expounded loudly in his acceptance press conference. Of course, most bomber fans with a brain knew instantly he was just trying to be nice. Other than Muamba, Drew Willy and a handful of above average men, the bomber roster has been putrid. I don't miss that guy.

Nasty Nate told me $150,000. Then it must be true.

Percy Harvin better watch his back! Good luck CM - hope to see you with a Super Bowl ring this time next year. PS - if Matthews does make the Seahawks and does well, does this mean all year I have to listen to Joe Buck go on about how Matthews "toiled in obscurity up in Canada the past two years paying his dues" like I had to hear all year about Jerrell Freeman? It's just so condescending....

can he play center?

So Charles Roberts isn't good enough for your list? I see how it is. Hee hee...and if we are going to expand it even more we might as well invite Brock Ralph and Kamau to the party as well... As for CR, as much as I loved watching that guy play, it would have been nice if he could have showed up for the 2007 Grey Cup...

another veteran leader and character guy. May be worth a look.

maybe in 2015 when our Willy leads us to the promised land and we womp on the lowly Ti-Cats in the Grey Cup the CFL will allow us to add Terrence, Doug, Milt and Khari to the roster at the last minute so we have 52 guys on the actual roster. That way they can all get their names on the Cup.

it would be really cool to see Matthews grabbing passes from Tom Brady next year. The Patriots need an upgrade at receiver after losing Welker and with Gronk being constantly injured.

If Hargreaves starts running from Regina now, he may make it to Ottawa by training camp.

LOL - Mr. Irrelevant is what you are calling yourself now? Fair enough. Captain 20-20 hindsight is too obvious. Anyway - kudos on yet another great call oh great seer and knowledgable one. Yuck, I just threw up in my mouth.

As usual Captain 20-20 hindsight calls another correct prediction.

where is Bryant Turner ? Robe shopping. I kid I kid...

Have to admit I did. I just really didn't see a role with the team next year where his paycheque would be warranted. Ok then. Well it's good that the Bombers dealt with this then in February rather than having TE show up at camp and then have to go through the uncomfortable exercise of explaining to the fans and media and to TE that he was no longer in the plans. Good to see this done in a professional way.

thank you for your contributions Terrence. You are a class act and an all around great human being. We were lucky to have you for seven seasons, and your heart and ability made a lot of the suffering we had to endure as Bomber fans bearable. Good luck. Did anyone else see this coming? The timing just seems weird. He still has game left.
