The Toronto Argonauts would like to wish Ted Goveia best of luck in his new position as Assistant GM w/ the @Wpg_BlueBombers

is Ken Moll still going to be on staff?  Or is this his effective termination?

 

Honestly, Simpson is easily replaceable. I'd let him hobble on one leg.

 

 

 

FYP.

Anyway McManus can still play QB?

 Let's wait and see what Kyle does.

 

I'd like to see Roger Whitaker or Ann Murray as the half-time show entertainment.  Enough pandering to the teeny-boppers and bobby-soxers. 

 

Give me O'Shea at HC, Khari at OC, Stubler at DC and Maas for the QBs and I would be so stoked.

 

Very small odds of that happening.

Is Stubler actually available? Why would he be leaving BC?

 

 

yeah exactly - where is all of this Stubler stuff coming from?  Why would he ever leave BC to move to Winnipeg?

 

 

 

 

That was one hellacious halftime show with Hedley playing tunes & snowmobiles flying in the air behind them. That had to be one of the biggest WTF moments in the 101 years of Grey Cup entertainment history. That it made no sense means nothing as much as having Hedley play the halftime show. Memo to Mark Cohon as he sat yawning beside our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Hey Commish, the CFL doesn't cater to 12 year old girls unless you sic Eric Tillman after them so quit hiring these **** teeny bop girly boy bands at halftime. As I watched the snowmobiles hurtle thru space, I was hoping they'd try a combine for that jump for a few laughs but aw shucks, they disappointed me.... What was Jennifer Hedger on when she introduced Hedley anyway???  

 

No surprise you'd hate the halftime show seen as how you pretty much seem to hate everything.

 

That being said, the halftime show isn't meant to cater to people already at the game or watching the game on TV. They're already watching, it's not meant as a "bonus" for them. The halftime show IS to cater to, as you put it, the 12 year old girl demographic. Get TV sets that wouldn't normally tune in to switch the channel. Up the ratings, up the ad revenue, it's that simple. And as much as I can't stand Hedley, I'll take them over outdated acts like BTO mumbling out lyrics nobody can understand.

 

No surprise you'd pick out something as ridiculous as this to criticize me for. You can be an ass just like everybody else even though you claim you aren't.

 

 

In a single post, you called something "one of the biggest WTF moments in a century", made a joke about sexual abuse against children and suggested Jennifer Hedger was "on something" during the halftime show.

 

Speaking of ridiculous.

 

Yeah, so what??? It's a HALFTIME show!! Who gives a **** what I called it??? Chill out,man. You're actually serious???? 

 

 

man you guys make me and Tburg look like old friends.  Yikes.  Give it a rest.  We've got six months now to think up things to talk about, and I already know most of them are going to be about finding new ways to describe how much the 2014 Bombers are probably going to suck almost as bad as the 2013 version.

In summary damn kids todays

 

 

 

 

Feel free to add your lyrics.

 

I'd rather have some Swish cheese - it sounds delectable!

Burris will find work somewhere

 

 

I'll be booking my hotel for Vancouver 2014 very soon, as that city is just better equipped to host the game.

 

Yeah I've been to three Cups in Vancouver now and everyone has been better than the last.  They really are getting the hang of how to hold a party there now.  1999 was just plain brutal, with 20,000 seats empty.  2005 was way better even with the Black Eyed Peas as the Half time show (which I missed to go drink beer instead).  2011 was a great party.  It helped that the Bombers were in it of course.  I know this is wishful thinking but it would be great if the Bombers fluked another Grey Cup run and were playing again next year.  And this time they wouldn't have to face BC, unless they were a cross-over.

It's too bad Tom Hanks had to be at one of the worst turd-burgers of a Grey Cup in a long time.  It went exactly as I called it, and it wasn't even that cold!  Burris sucks.  Glenn Sucks.  Bring on Collaros.

I think Bluto stayed home this year. Can't say I blame him.

 

yeah he didn't want to sleep in some hill-billy's basement and wake up with a size 12 poop-chute and a ball gag in his mouth.

I love this crazy league of ours and this is the final game for six months.  Plus it's my birthday and a bunch of people are taking me out to the Canadian bar here to watch the game.  Plus I'm entitled to an entertaining Grey Cup after a year of shitty Bomber football.

 

There's a Canadian bar in Seattle?  Where-abouts?

 

Those guys swore up and down during the pre-game of the last Bombers/TiCats game, that there was absolutely no way they'd be behind schedule at any point. They had assurances, and yada yada yada. They were snickering about what happened with the Bombers site, and said without any hesitation that it wouldn't happen to them and everything would be done on time, no questions asked.

 

God, how I'd love to see them get ****** right around, too...to hell with those guys.

 

Do they have a clown-shoe president with hair like the lead singer of Platinum Blonde promising that they will start the season in their new stadium?

 

 

Platinum Blonde?  Man you are really going back in time for that reference!

 

For all the youngsters out there who have no clue who Platinum Blonde are.  Next up - Lover Boy and Winger.

Wow. That just screams mediocrity. "We were going to interview some more experienced, higher profile guys but then decided, well, **** it, its Winnipeg."

 

Yeah.  Was hoping that they would at least give Higgins a half-hearted shot.  Maybe he's not interested?

The 2008 WSF, the 2011 East Final and the the West Final last week proves that Glenn can't perform in big games, especially not those with bad weather.

 

and the Grey Cup last year proved he can't perform in big games in good weather either.  The last time I saw him deliver in a big game was the 2007 East Final.  He's never been the same after breaking his arm.

Woah!  I was just kidding Iso!  Here's my first pick for "second chances"....   

 

It will be interesting to see what the Riders look like next season, they clearly loaded up for the Cup this season and are reportedly over the cap by $400k.

Could be a very different team next season and who knows what the new cba will bring.

Taman IMO is a mediocre gm, who is loved by the Winnipeg media because he gives them the time of day.

If this is accurate, the Riders will be paying approx $500,000 in fines and will lose their first and second round draft picks.

 

 

And yet if they win on Sunday, not one hill billy will say that it wasn't worth it.

It's time for a second kick at the can....

 

I'd take O'Day. 

 

I just don't see him leaving the Snot and White.  He's Rider through and through.  It'd be like Bob Dyce or Khari going and coaching in....oh never mind...

 

 

I voted for Higgins because of his wide experience. I want him as GM/HC to be honest, I'm not sure if he will come in as HC only but if Miller/Walters can convinced him to be then all good. The guy is just winning wherever he goes.

 

Second choice will be Cortez, for obvious reason. We haven't have a decent O in 4 years this guys can fix it real quick.

 

unless Cortez is going to go behind center himself, he's not going to fix anything without a decent qb who can execute plays.  Bill Walsh would have failed here in 2013.  A good QB can make even an average OC look good, but a bad qb can make a good OC look terrible.  Cortez is good, but it helped he's had Burris and Durant the past two years as his QB's.  Justin Goltz or Jason Boltus as your QB?  Good luck with that.

 

 

Do you honestly think Miller / Walters will go with Hall, Boltus and Goltz in 2014? 

 

 

ah....that's why I said he needs a "decent QB".....????

I'd vote for Higgins to be GM, but not coach.
