well Mack for one doesn't talk to the media much outside of scheduled press conferences anyway, one of the reasons the press is so quick to jump on him. The media in this town is entirely too used to having a guy like Brendan Taman around who was more media friendly than most GMs in the league are.
There also is the fact that other than Sask and Winnipeg, the media doesn't even know who the GM of their CFL team is, and in Toronto, don't even know they have a CFL football team.

Not that it's really relevent to the "What's The Problem" topic title but I don't really agree the 2001 Grey Cup appearence was an illusion.
2001
The year before the rebuild from Reinbold finally clicked in. They finished strong and won a playoff game.
Then 2001. 14-4.
The year after the finished 12-6 and lost the Western Final by 3 points with Stegall and Roberts both injured.
Even 2003 they finished 11-7 and hosted a playoff game. That's the last time they won 11 regular season games.
2001
Year before they were the worst team in the league.
Then 2011. 10-8.
Then the worst team in the league (tied, technically)
Then this year...
Maybe setting the all time Bombers win record was a bit of an iillusion but making the Grey Cup was no fluke. 2011 was definitely a fluke.
By that same token then making the 2007 Grey Cup was a fluke too.

Speaking of garbage defences, man is Hamilton terrible. Right now I have to say that it is a shame that two of Winnipeg, Hamilton, Montreal and Edmonton get into the playoffs this year as all four teams are complete crap.

How you could improve the "fan experience" at home games:

Better than the banana gif from last week.
You can say that again...

Road Griller has been playing that Roughtrade song over and over today. It goes a little Like this "he makes me cream my jeans".
J\k RG...hope your boy plays well tonight and we'll look back on tonight's game as Goltz's coming out party. And we'll celebrate many more victories in the coming years. Maybe a Grey Cup too.
Before I die I hope to be able to celebrate one Grey Cup victory in front of the statue of Justin Goltz that they'll be erecting in front of Investors Group (China) LLC Inc Field in 2034. Which will probably be in 2058.

I find it amazing how guys are justifying how Etienne was a good pick by throwing Poblah under the bus...
I love how you just pulled that assessment out of your ass. None of us are doing that.
-
I'm with TBurg on this.
Unless you are drunk, you really need to re-consider starting off posts with this statement.
-
I just want to see what a healthy Poblah can do. It seems like he is constantly plagued by injury. So far Jade is looking like a better pick......and very few of us can say we saw that coming.
I know hindsight is 20-20 but imagine if we had taken Laurent over Poblah...
-
Obviously a defensively minded head coach can work if you have a strong OC, No one is calling for Chamberlins or Benvedies (sp) head right now or saying they shouldn't have been hired.
I have a feeling if we had Lulay or Durant as our QB no one would be crying about our situation either. It's amazing what a difference a QB makes.
-
Marcus Howell, Geoff Drover, Wade Miller, Glen Murray, Susan Thompson
Troy Westwood played a few downs at safety IIRC.
-
Was that when Tom's dad Mike, met and married Carol Ann Martin and brought her 3 daughters into the fold?
wow - quite the bunch of Bradys if that was indeed the case.
-
here's an interesting factoid - Goltz grew up in a small town in Michigan but played college ball in California. Tom Brady grew up in a small town in California but went to school in Michigan. Amazing parallel!
-
4.3 is fast for a returner or cb let alone a qb. I'm not calling you a liar, but do you have a link for that? that's like Michael Vick in his prime or RG3 speed.
I found this article from 2009. http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2009/05/walled_lakes_justin_goltz_does.html
In the comments section it mentions that Goltz ran a 4.5 40 in school - but its a post from his uncle so who knows if it is accurate. Also interesting was the fact that Goltz and Obama went to the same school - Occidental.
-
I watched Glenn January being interviewed about the Charleston Hughes comment and he just said "If I was in high school still I might care". Hee hee. I'd like to see the hogs put in a good effort this game as the Toronto d-line was pushing them around pretty good last game. It does help if Calgary comes in over-confident.
-
With how scrambled his noggin is, probably still happens.
and the fact that he played for so many teams. I liked how Dunigan called Gord "cruel" or something to that effect when Gord pointed that out.
-
We're only paying Lapo for 2013 I believe, 2014 was non guaranteed.
Yes. I believe you are right. That's when he'll put himself back on the market and end the TSN gig, after he no longer is getting paid not to coach. I think after Montreal implodes this year and they send Gary Busey packing Bart Andrus style you'll see him in Montreal as their OC. I hope they are smart enough not to hand him the HC job.
-
Who cares? He does stupid things and says stupid things!
-
Look how often Mike O'Shea changed teams between the 2. I wonder how many times he got in his car from home to go to work only to drive to the wrong practice?
Wonder how many times that happened to Dunigan?
-
. The first thing he led with when he took over last season was "I don't know anything about offence."
At least he's more honest than Lapo and Crowton.
-
Goltz could use a strong performance from Simpson
with Goltz's scrambling ability, that hopefully will open up some holes for Simpson as they can't just stack the box like they do with Buck and force him to throw or just stand there like a deer in headlights waiting for a DT to fall on him.

When he was a bust the IMWT crowd repeatedly called him Lapo's pick. Now that he's producing he's MAck's pick.
I guess I'm part of the IMWT crowd by default only because I wasn't wringing my hands and screaming like some others were doing, but just saying that patience was a virture. And I definitely think that was the message that most of the people who thought JE could one day be a great receiver for us were also saying. I don't recall ever anyone saying that Etienne was Lapo's pick. How could they support that? They couldn't, as Mack is in charge of the draft. JE has always been Mack's pick, and anyone with a brain who isn't in constant panic mode knew that JE would need a few years to grow stronger and get bigger. He's done that. Now he's contributing. Why is that so hard for people to grasp? I don't get how something positive always has to be turned into a negative around here. It's just like the NDP...oh wait...I'm not getting political anymore on these boards....

Very true. Losing those two guys has been a killer. We also need JT Gilmore back.
