I would have to go back to my old avatar.

Goltz can't live the button-down life like you guys. He wants it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, he might offend a few of the bluenoses with his cocky stride and musky odors - oh, he'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Justin Goltz?"
Een the CFL, first you get da suger. Den you get de money. Den you get de power. Den you get de weemen.

Being here in Calgary & seeing Tsoumpas play, I strongly believe that he is the true anchor on that OL & there's no way that Calgary trades him to the Bombers. When Tsoumpas was healthy, he & Dan Federkeill dominated on the right side of that line. I'd be shocked if Calgary let him get away. To me, there are very few dominant players on the OL like Tsoumpas. No matter what Calgary did, they'd never make up for the loss of that guy. Even though the Stamps have gone 14-4 & plugged in & played other guys all over the team losing Dmitri Tsoumpas was a huge blow to their team.
He's a pending free agent.
I agree Calgary would not trade him but would they be able to resign him?
He'd be a priority signing. Yes, I believe they would.
Unless the Riders send in another female agent on a special mission to get pregnant. Then all bets are off.

Oakland sure could have used Christo against the Eagles. Yeesh that was an ugly game for Oakland's defence.
-
So you protect Matthews even though he's a free agent and has publicly said he's going be trying out for NFL next year? Seems like a wasted protected player to me.
Based on how his season went do you forsee a lot of NFL interest in the guy?
Yeah, I see more NFL interest in Muamba than Matthews, quite frankly. Matthews when he did play looked like he had gone to the Kamau Peterson school for dropping passes into your midriff during the off-season.
-
The next time I see Goltz I expect it to be as "guy in background" in a boner-pill commercial.
-
yeah with the way Burke generalizes I have no doubt he was referring to Tsoumpas. I also don't see how Burke saying they are interested in some free agents could be seen as tampering - unless they are contacting the players directly and talking to them, kind of like Edmonton was doing last year with Reilly.

Go to the Audio Vault on CJOB website.

21:30 point - you can go straight there. 3 FA NI O-linemen they are looking at, one guy that had a concussion all year.
-
great post Mike - thanks for taking the time to type that.

No surprise that Kavis as let go. No surprise that Edmonton did it before we get rid of Burke. They always seem to be one step ahead of us.
Burke is the best guy to do the exit interviews, the player analysis and to create a baseline for the new HC. Getting Burke's input on who we protect and who we should go after in Free Agency is a good idea too. We don't have to go with his choices, but the more good football opinions the better IMHO.
You totally contradicted yourself with those two sentences. First you say that Edmonton is one step ahead of us by firing Reed, then you say it's good that we are keeping Burke around for a few weeks. ?????
I see your reading comprehension hasn't gotten any better. I'm not contradicting myself.
LOL. Well then you should have been clearer in your statement. The poor writer always blames the audience/reader for why they are misunderstood.

What's the deal with MSW's knee? Any ideas on the 3 NI OL?
He said one had a concussion all year...
-
Burke - five guys packed it in during the season and definitely by the end of the season and weren't earning their paycheques. He won't name them though.
-
This guy doesn't even know the length of his own contract holy ****.
A shame to hear about Sims Walker though.
Yeah sounds like Sims Walker has played his last game of pro football.
-
LOL - Burke can't remember if he has an option year on his contract...LOL
-
Kubie Kid gets the first call. I met Kubie at the Grey Cup in 2011. Cool dude.
-
Man....anyone who is suicidal or has some serious personality issues shouldn't listen in...man is this depressing. Burke actually admitted that "deep down" he knew that they were a bad team after the second game of the year. So he knew they were going to suck, and did nothing....sigh...
Bob just said that Burke has one year left on his contract and has not heard from management as to what is going on.

My prediction
GM: Walters, possibly Duningan (then Walters will be AGM)
HC: Khari (possibly Bellefeuille)
OC: Dyce, possibly Khari if he isn't HC. (Wildcard is Cortez)
DC: Fat Greg Marshall (possibly Kavis)
ST: C Dickenson
any hope of any reasoning as to why you select these people? Or is this just a random list? If random, then I'd like to see John Elway and Bill Belichick as GM and HC.

This line in wheat-chex article today made me nauseous:
"Sources have indicated the club is determined to follow a sequence that will first see Wade Miller get the acting tag lifted from his job as CEO, followed shortly afterward by the naming of a new GM, which will in all likelihood be acting-GM Kyle Walters."
There's not even a mention of a cursory GM search.
I would love to see C Dickenson get his first HC role here. But with such an amateur-hour approach to filling upper management roles, why in holy hell would CD leave the comfy spot he has under Huffer, especially if Huffer leaves the sidelines soon?
Miller will get Walters as GM and his business partner/buddy Khari as HC -- Bank on it!
I'd like to see Khari at OC, but I don't think he's got the experience to be a HC just yet.

He said QB'ing would be better? He was right. Max Hall has been the best Bombers' QB since Buck in 2011.
Joey Elliott still played better than Hall did.
Higher peaks, lower valleys but even as a major Elliott guy I'd say Hall is more consistent.
well do we put a factor in there for Crowton or not? Cause Hall didn't do **** all until well after Crowton was gone. The problem for both of them was a propensity to turn the ball over, to me Elliott was better at his best and that makes a big difference cause Hall had some pretty damned low lows himself.
I can just see Dave and Cory on the couch in 2055, mixing in their rye with their Boost and Ensure energy drinks, going on about how "that Elliot guy would have won us a cup in 2013".
-
Hyproracy personified. People on here have wanted to run Burke and most of the coaching staff out of here for weeks. No you want these same people to evaluate your players? Perhaps that is more appropriate for GM and HC to do.
I don't think most people "want" this. We are just saying that this is what is currently happening, apparently. In answer to all the people who are asking why Burke is still at this moment at IGF in the coach's office, as opposed to doing something more in line with his talents, like learning how to run the hot dog machine.
Playoff Predictions

I see Hamilton winning the EF, in a squeaker, but only because the game is indoors so Burris will actually try, and put in a decent effort. Without McCune, and Burris having his head in the game, the Ti-Cat offense can be lethal, so it really will about the Ti-Cats being able to stop Ricky Ray. Same can't be said for Burris' fellow fair-weather QB, Kevin Glenn. According to Google, it's -16C in Calgary at the moment, which means that KG is going to give it his usual half-hearted try for a few series and then pack it in. If I was Huffer, I'd have Mr. Fairweather on a short lease, and have BLM and Nutjob ready to go ASAP. If they stick with Glenn, then the game is already over.
So I am calling - Hamilton/Sask GC, and Sask victory, as Burris just gives up trying to do anything in the -20C wind chill by half time. If this GC had been indoors, then I'd have picked Hamilton to win it.
