    hell, I am blind to most of the subtleties of football and even I can see that Holm is a ludicrous athlete.  Can't think of another Bomber DB past or present with his maneuverability. 

    Holm to me is kind of like "what if Charles Roberts grew a couple of inches and played DB?"

    Good luck to him with his shot.

    This kinda started out as an erotic description.

    Rod Black had Sticky -- MBB has Holm.

     That said, how can he teach techniques he never had?

    cmon man, I get that you like to gripe but you're just saying nonsense here.  Let's look at some GOATs:

    Scotty Bowman didn't play in the NHL.  Don Matthews didn't play above the college level and certainly never played Canadian rules.  Bill Belichick didn't play in the NFL.

    Closer to home, Kevin Bourgoin was the passing game coordinator / WR coach for the absolutely lethal BC Lions offense this past year and was our WR coach in 2021 when we lapped the whole league.  Yet another dude who topped out as a player in college and went into coaching straight afterwards.  And his playing career was so un-noteworthy that he's got no Wikipedia page and I had to google into a local news story just to discover that he did play at one time.

    I was at that Fred Reid game!  He had another TD but it was called back.  He got hurt and only sat out two plays - typical terrible coaching.  Fred came back in and promptly reeled off a big run for a TD, Wally threw the challenge flag and yup, he had not sat out three plays so no TD.  

    yeah, I remember that!  Didn't that challenge cost him a record?

    The alternative going forward without him isn't very promising. We have no succession plan. We had years to get that done & didn't. 

    well, we brought in Brown but he emerged a little too early for our convenience.  And Streveler could have been QBNext except for some devastating injuries.

    credit to this Bomber regime that they actually brought in two quarterbacks who could win games in the CFL.  Before Strev in 2018 and Brown in 2023 you have to go all the way back to Danny Mac to find a Bomber-recruited QB who didn't **** the bed when the spotlight hit them.

    say what you will about Kelly, the Fred Reid game in BC will always live in my memory ... watched it on a cheap little laptop from a hotel balcony in istanbul, drinking raki.  Poor Javier Glatt.  I was astonished he still had a career after chasing fast Freddie around all day.

    We got all of our anger against Dieter out of our system watching Tyrone Jones destroy him in the 1984 Grey Cup.

    Mike used to have a great avvy of Phil Hunt about to obliterate Kevin Glenn.  Wonder if one could make a similar one for Jones vs Brock

    Reinebold was just a bad coach with a bad program. Kelly proved to be a terrible human being, blinded by wild arrogance. 

    have been watching some 1997 Bomber games as CFL Classics has been posting them.

    Just watched the Toronto v. Bombers game where Reinebold rolled out Dexter Dawson as a DB.  Pinball and Flutie absolutely pantsed him.  

    (the offseason is so brutal I can't believe I'm watching 97 Bomber games to get my fix)

    Johnzo, since you live in Metro Seattle, I'm sure the Seahawks are glad that DK Metcalf is gone. What a distraction this week would have been for them if that incident occurred with the Seahawks trying to clinch the NFC West. 

    Man I have no idea what Metcalf was thinking.  Disrupting his team, getting suspended during crunch time of the season, and voiding millions in guaranteed money.  Just bad all round.

    quite a season by the Hawks this year.  I was not expecting them to be a divisional contender!

    This is like the Giants & Jets moving from downtown New York to the Meadowlands, NJ about 20 or so miles away. It's in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Kansas City Kansas & Kansas City , MO may be two separate identities in 2 separate States so it's probably not a big deal to Chiefs fans in that way. KC  is all one big city. Back in the day, before Winnipeg & the surrounding cities amalgamated in 1971, it was like the Bombers having Winnipeg Stadium in St. James but not actually in Winnipeg. It was no big deal. They weren't the St James Blue Bombers. The sad part is the NFL losing an iconic football stadium like Arrowhead. 

    Lots of people in Missouri are laughing today.  58% of the voters in Jackson County (the county in MO that would have imposed / collected a Chiefs tax) voted against the tax.

    Luckily for Phil Hunt, the owner of the Chiefs, the Chiefs taxes could be implemented in Kansas without requiring a vote.
