I feel bad for Rob Bagg. You've got to admire all the comebacks he's made, and each time he's come back he's played at a high level.
Saskatchewan 2013 looks like Blue Bombers 2011 -- they started like a house on fire, but they have some structural deficiencies.

Leffe Blonde. Super delicious.

That picture of Wade Miller in the Free Press makes him look like a Coen Brothers character.
"You always gotta put one in the brain!"

Glad to see Butchko gone.
His announcement that there was absolutely positively completely 100% certainty that the team would not play at Canad Inns in 2012 made him a zero-credibility joke. He should have resigned immediately after he had to walk back that statement.
Mack goes with my best wishes. At least he achieved something during his tenure. He gave us a Grey Cup appearance and had a peculiar gift for recruiting brilliant one-year-wonder receivers.

The jersey is fairly high quality but the numbers & name are iron on... They didn't sell premium stitched CFL jerseys back then.
Did the Bombers even use stitched jerseys back then? When I watch the old 80s games the numbers and letters look all shiny and plasticky like vinyl iron-ons.

This is the one Bomber game I'll get to see live this year.
Hoping for another crazy upset vs. BC like we had in 2009 and 2010. Hope Chad Simpson runs like Fred Reid and Marty Markett ruins a QB's life like Deon Beasley did...

Simpson and Sheets here too.

The thing I really love about this forum is the relatively small number of topics active at any one time. Back on the other site, every harebrained article from Lawless or Friesen would spawn a corresponding useless rage topic. Certain posters would start a new topic every day and three or four after a loss, and they wouldn't be substantial, they'd just be spleen venting.
It's so much better here. I don't know if the mods have run off the irritating posters or if they just haven't showed up, but whatever they're doing, I want them to keep it up.

Mack got us a first-round pick for an injured QB with very limited upside. That was a nice piece of work.

iso, I'm in the same boat, I've got a handsome #97 Brown 70s throwback that looks great and starts conversations on the streets here in Seattle ... and 200 bones is a lot of money to spend on yet another sports jersey ... but I was a HUGE fan of every one of the players in the photo that WBB Fan Girl linked to so I'm definitely tempted to spend the money on a #35 Jones or a #63 Walby.
Like a lot of posters here, I think both the 70s and 80s throwbacks look way better than the current jersey. That royal blue looks so sharp and distinctive; the navy blue is boring and generic.

Is playing OT in Canada much different than playing OT by American rules? Do American OT's have to be brought up to speed on the CFL like American QBs do?
I'm just wondering how easy it should be to recruit a new tackle. American colleges are graduating hundreds of OTs every year, you'd figure the numbers game would make it relatively easy to recruit a good one.

The only QB that I could think of that could match that level of crazy at the coaching and GM level would be Drew Tate, WITH the stupid long hair.
I don't get the hate for Drew Tate's hair. What's the big deal?
-
If they brought in Tillman to be GM they might as well bring back Mike Kelly to be OC, Kavis "Consequences" Reed as our DC and Jeff Reinebold as Head coach. Let's just have the entire clown show under one big tent. They could even play "send in the clowns" before every game as our theme song.
Oh man, who would be the QB of that team? Mike Quinn? T.J. Rubley? The 1989 version of Sean Salisbury?
-
Sure, he cut his former coach off at the knees. You know Popp talked to him before the firing.
So if you've got an incompetent boss, you should just shut your mouth and let your team keep on sucking?
-
Wonder if Berry is going to make AC call his own plays?
Oh man, I'd forgotten about that.
That was when Berry lost me, when he decided that Glenn was going to call his own plays, and then Glenn told the media that he wasn't really all that into calling his own plays. Seemed like Berry was really grasping at straws there.
-
Calling out his HC & OC publicly, how does that help the Als win?
He just upgraded his coaching significantly, didn't he?
Never mind Popp, I think Mtl is in much better shape with Berry calling the plays than with Miller.

The day we hire Eric Tillman is the day I become the newest Ottawa Redblacks fan.

It also gives would-be candidates a heads-up that a GM job has opened up, long before their current employers can renew their contracts.
Do GMs and front-office staff have the same kind of job mobility that coaches have?
I understand that coaches are generally free to consider changing teams so long as the new position is a promotion from their current position.
-
The fact that BlueBall (and others) will pay whatever for the jersey is probably why they're priced where they are.
I think it's branding driving the price there, moreso than material & labor cost.
-
The only thing I want to hear right now from the Bombers is "We have no interest in Eric Tillman."
-
No love for ET.....it's not like he could trade away our franchise QB.
You can't be serious.

He reminds me of Chris Brazzell. Great speed, deep threat, but not much of a receiver otherwise.
