Especially when we're giving them to Paul Lapolice and Tim Burke, not Wally Buono or John Hufnagel. Is Burke going to say no to a 2 year deal?
what is the league standard deal? And if the coach gets a new job, is the team still on the hook for salary? I see that Saskatchewan now has Cortez as their OC, after he got canned after one year as Hamilton HC. Is Hamilton still paying him a partial salary?
-
Hufnagel not prepared to say where they plan on playing Hefney. "We'll see how he does at SAM Linebacker." Guess Hef didn't say no to that.
-
According to Sun Media's Ian Busby Jonathan Hefney will play SAM Thursday for #Stampeders. Position he did not want to play for #Bombers
Perhaps he knows now that saying he doesn't want to play a position will get him cut?

Hard to know what happened behind the scenes. Always felt odd to me that Burke was handed the job without looking around and holding some interviews first. 52-0, 44-3, losing 29-10 at home to Jarious Jackson all would have been enough to give me pause.
and laying a 44-32 shellacking on the future Grey Cup champs in October is enough to give me hope.

Winnipeg 10-8
Toronto 9-9
Hamilton 8-10
Montreal 5-13
BC 12-6
Calgary 11-7
Edmonton 9-9
Saskatchewan 8-10
As impossible as it seems, our QBing will be better this season, and our defence will be too.

Alex Brink, come on down. That 3rd stringer Edmonton has is the reincarnation of Bad Banks. Tunnel-vision.

Buchko in his apology press conference referenced a "touchdown song" that the Bombers are going to play after every touchdown. When I went to a Seahawks game last year, I noticed that they had a TD song as well, and it was used to great effect. Their song kind of went like this song from Macklemore:

Especially at the 4:30 mark. The song would go "NA NA NA NA NAH" and the crowd would sing "HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY". It was awesome. I hope that the Bombers have found something equally as effective.
-
Is the team going 6-10 again? Because if so, yes I'll find something else to whine about.
I hope Jade does as well as you all think he will.
at this point, I have an incredibly open mind. I don't know if he'll do well or tank. But at least you guys could do the same, and give the kid a chance. All the pissing and moaning about JE over the past two years has been ridiculous. You guys just constantly set yourselves up for a fall.
-
I really hope Jade Etienne becomes the Manitoba posterboy for why people need to shut up and let development run it's course before trying to label a guy a bust.
Good luck with that. Even if Jade becomes a Hall of Fame receiver, the same whiners will always find a reason to whine about something. It's called chronic inability to ever see a bigger picture.
-
So according to CFL.CA there were supposed to be more Bomber cuts today but I didn't see any more after Hefney.

The Okanagan Sun just signed some behemoth O-Lineman from Winnipeg, it was in the papers last month...
Wengelinski graduates from Vincent Massey High School Trojans in Winnipeg this spring. Ryan is the first player from that school to suit up for the Sun
The 6-foot-4, 325-pounder was the top offensive lineman for his club and a conference all-star in Manitoba this past season.
Ryan says that his experience at Sun spring camp and the history of other players from Winnipeg in the Okanagan made his decision to travel 2,000 kilometres for football a relatively easy one.
“I wasn’t sure about playing here when I came to town, I really thought of it as just another recruiting visit. But after seeing camp, and how everything was run, how we were treated by the coaches, directors and other players…everyone made us feel really welcome," Wengelinski said. "It doesn’t hurt that Kelowna is one of the most beautiful places in Canada."

Potential future Bomber?

Pacino Horn sounds rather douchey. You wonder why he would want to leave the douchiest team in the CFL. He must fit them like a glove.
-
I think it's sad that $35K is considered "huge" in a professional sport. $35K is what NFL teams pay to vacuum up navel lint after a pre-season game. Who cares about the $35K?
-
new TV deal ought to have us out of the bail-out zone. must've been all the corporate sponsorship dollars from the prairies that prompted TSN to write the big cheque.
Really - I'm curious to know who from the prairies stepped up. Interesting.
-
Funny, when Jones was DC in Calgary he never blitzed much. But same thing, his DL did things that other teams didn't. His defensive schemes were complex. Calgary was near or at the bottom in 2011 for qb sacks sacks. When he left to to go to the Argos only a handful of Stampeder defensive players were sad to see him go.
and wasn't Calgary also leading the league in cheap shots at the time Jones was there too? No coincidence.
-
Why does Buck get a pass from Burke being upset with the vets? Somebody call in and ask him.
because Buck doesn't go on Twitter and make comments about Mack? Because Buck plays the way Crowton asks him too and accepts the responsibilities given him without complaining? Because Buck is a leader? Because Buck didn't get busted with pot in the off-season and didn't tell the team?
-
If I was a smart coach I wouldn't of let myself get into this situation. A smart coach would of axed Buck and kept Elliott and then have an open competition and hopefully Hall or Goltz steps up and takes the job.
a smart coach who wanted to get fired maybe. Keep Elliot - yeah don't think so.
-
What I don't understand is why resign a guy in the offseason and then turn around and say he's lost a step when you cut him. If this about his legal troubles then this is BS.
IMO, the way Burke has been talking to the media all camp, it was like he had his mind made up he was going to cut a vet before camp even started. Too bad he cut the wrong one.
LOL! The wrong one? One of those other vets that got busted for pot and didn't disclose it?

According to Bob Irving on Twitter, the Bombers feel Hef has lost a step...
-
wow....
-
with the new TV deal, we're expected to break even... which would be remarkable since it would be the only time in many, many years that the Argos don't post a loss (aside from hosting GC years)
I'll believe that when I see it. Perhaps if they hire Pamela Wallin's accountant...
-
Jones is a good coordinator. However he's teams play unethically and take way to many cheap shots. CFL needs to start fineing that team and Jones for the good of the game.
the league might as well just write the cheques for the fines, as the money the Argos pay for the fines is just going to go right back to them for their annual bail-out anyway.

So, Rod Black said the Esks are playing an exhibition game there. Are they nuts?
yeah - why would Fort McMurray want Rod Black in their city?

so wouldn't Cortez then just sit on his butt and collect a salary like Lapo is doing? Hmmm....
