Ugh. I hate it when guys can't stand up to their wives and give them jobs in their companies that they don't deserve and aren't qualified to do. It's never good.

This just in - Kavis Reed has been hired as a "special investigator" with a mandate to find the leak, and to also give recommendations on consequences. Apparently fines are against the Director's collective bargaining agreement.

Finally, some common ground.

Yes. Zurkowsky tweeting "Mack is a moron" last year after firing Lapo is an "imaginary" slight. I would hope Penton or Friesen or even Ed Tait returns the favour and tweets that Popp is a moron, now that the Als are imploding at the speed of light.

Well exactly. If you are going to make the tackle position an Import position then at least bring in guys that are better than what you'd get with a Canadian playing there. So far we've been playing imports at that position that are just wasted there as a Canadian could have been a turnstyle too. One of the reasons I think the Riders are doing well is that they were able to convert Ben Heenan to tackle this year. Swiston should be out there already. Pencer should be there next year, backing up Swiston. We have to get to 4 NI on the OL. There's no point on having 3 if the import tackle is crap. Keep January. Make the other side an NI position.

I think that by now Mack should have found an NI tackle. He had four years. Having 4 NI on the OL opens up so many other options including having more import receivers on the field.

and it will be settled internally.

I agree. Seems to be how things work in this league. The Bombers have some issues and it's blown into some massive deal with every single media clown with an axe to grind across Canada weighing in with their opinion. Meanwhile, Montreal, Hamilton and Edmonton are at least 50 feet of crap below us right now and everything is apparently hunky-dory. Herb Zurkowsky from Montreal has been one of Mack's biggest protagonists, even calling him a "moron" on Twitter IIRC, and yet here is the sports writer for a team that served up the biggest bowl of crap yet in 2013 last night. Mind your own knitting guys. We're down but we're not out. The same can't be said for Montreal. They look like a team that is on the verge of collapse. In this league, you can never say that next year you are already dead. You can go from zero to hero in one year. It's been done many times before.

Actually, the original post was my opinion that Walters has done a good job as AGM. It's still my opinion. And no one here is going to change that. That the discussion degenerated into yet another rehash and bibble-babble about our draft picks is just how this forum works sometimes.

What Penton doesn't say is that the executive is Eric Tillman....

Troy Westwood.

I think one question that no one has asked (or at least not that I have seen) - are we keeping Ken Moll? That's the key guy in our US scouting. We lose him and we are back to the Taman US scouting method (not his fault, he had no budget for scouting) - walking into the dressing room and asking "hey any of you guys know any runningbacks looking for work? I'll give you $50 a lead".

I'm not having this discussion yet again about our draft picks. Sigh.

only if he had palmed a burrito and stuffed in his mouth right before being locked up.

I've really liked his draft picks. For once we've been going into drafts with a plan, instead of just a dart board.

sorry but I am biased due to my dislike of Lawless. Formula: gain trust of director, wean info from said director, report it, then sit back with smug smile watching nuclear bomb go off, stand at bomb crater press conference with even smugger smile on face saying "Look what I have done". Just makes me want to puke.

agree 100%

I think Walters has been a much better AGM than ST co-ordinator. I actually have been impressed. Especially given the quality of talent surrounding him, or lack thereof.

it bugs me that Lawless caused this problem by leaking the news, and here he is front and center wanting to know what is going to be done about his leak. What an ass-clown.

CFL - conflict football league. Like a broker once told a friend of mine when he told the broker that his firm was in a conflict on a deal he was trying to get financed: "If there is no conflict, there is no interest".

I still want to know who the rat is. I think I know, given the psychological profile of the kind of person it takes to do something this unprofessional. Hmmm...

Poop - good GM. Shitty coach.

Dunigan just said "cusp". LOL

If so the Bombers should grab him. He could turn the season around like he did for the Lions in 2011.

Perfect landing spot for Mack.
