O'Shea's cups don't count once we hire him.  Friesen logic.

with that arm/shoulder tattoo you'd fit right in here in Kelowna Mike.

The press conference is at the Fairmont as that's where Ron Burgundy is staying.

Way to go Milt!!!  This is why we love you...

 

STEGALL TO GO DEEP TO PROMOTE RACIAL TOLERANCE IN MANITOBA

 

MORRIS, Man. - A well-known member of the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame will speak out against racism later this month in a southern Manitoba town that's trying to shed any image that it's racist.

Milt Stegall, a former star wide receiver with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, will be outside a restaurant in Morris called Thea's Diner on Dec. 14 to deliver a message about tolerance.

Thea Morris, the restaurant's Jamaican-born owner, recently said she's closing her business because of racist behaviour on the part of some people in community.

The 53-year-old woman has said she's received an email referencing the Ku Klux Klan and has been told by one of her customers that people are avoiding her business because she is black.

Ron D'Errico, president of Winnipeg's Impact Security Group, says he contacted the U.S.-born Stegall about what was happening in Morris and he was very upset.

D'Errico says Stegall will talk about what racism does to a community and will strongly encourage Morris residents to work together.

does Burke get to bring Creehan along as a signing bonus?

Let's hope that half-way through next year the Argos decide to give Milanovich his walking papers and appoint Burke as Head Coach.  That would be interesting to watch indeed.

I like these moves - including Morris... I would like to see one more Asst GM of Football Ops

 

LOL - just add "assistant GM" to everyone's name.  "Assistant GM of cash register operation" for the girl at the Bomber store.  "Assistant GM of toilet scrubbing" for the janitor...

now they just need to hire a QB coach and everyone will be happy!  Of course, that assumes we have a QB to be coached.

wow - sounds like a pretty impressive resume.  I have never heard his name mentioned anywhere before, not on here by the resident pundits, or the media.  I guess this is why they didn't talk to Higgins.  Call me impressed with this hire.  With McManus and Goveia it sounds like the Bombers mean business.

Toronto Argonauts ‏@TorontoArgos5m

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.
