After many years of losing I can remember conversations with Noeller saying to him that some day they're going to win and all of this will be worth it. We're just enjoying the moment because as fans we earned it the hard way.

It doesn't have to say ignore this, it doesn't have to mention a new contract because it only applies if they exercise the option year! You're so hung up on what is written you are willfully ignoring the option to just not use the option year. Sure BC could force Rourke back that cheaply by simply picking up the option year... but why would they do that when they could give him a new multi-year deal and secure the most important position long term rather than gambling that the guy will be happy making peanuts because bc wanted one more cheap season?

Needlessly?

I just don't want to go back to the days when we can't just talk nonstop **** about other teams. We took so much crap from the chuckleheads in other fanbases it is very liberating being able to throw it all back at them and I don't really feel like getting off this high horse

Because no one else is dumb enough to believe that the option MUST be used if they want him back.

Until Sunday he would have still had to have this week booked for the grey cup. I agree it's a bad look to skip out. I mean it's dumb that the leaguenis going to give an award to a guy for half a year but he should be there to accept it.

Ugh I'd take manitobas premier over Smith any day. Smith is acting like winning the ucp leadership with 54% of the vote and winning a hand picked riding in a by-election (by 6% less votes than the back bench candidate got in the general election) means she has a huge mandate to pursue a bunch of stupid **** no one wants. Buckle up we are about to see how much one person can **** up a province in a few months.

They were all in! They had former west mop* Cody Fajardo at qb! If only they knee brace wasn't there...

No one is denying what the cba says about an option year. Only disagreeing with your understanding of the situation. Nice to see you slide in an out for yourself in there too. Well done.

That game was infuriating. It was there for the taking and they refused to take it

/s Apparently

Tburg gonna tburg. I hope Rourke comes back to the CFL with a fat NEW contract to watch the back pedaling

The guy I was most disappointed in was Roberts. Veteran star running back and you play that awful when you know you have a rookie in his first start... I don't blame Dinwiddie for making rookie mistakes, it happens. But guys who should step up to help him? Lot of problems there.

Big if true...

We got enough guys can lay the wood that he will get that droopy bottom lip sure enough.

The argos will not win the Grey Cup. It is possible the Bombers might lose it, but it will be because they give it away not because the argos win. So there. Take that!

Everybody knows Harris will downplay it himself, but make no mistake that guy has a chip on his shoulder about it and it will be obvious. just the player he is. He plays the game angry and uses those chips he's collected to motivate himself.

Yes he was damned ******* good in that game no question about it. Earned the awards he did, should have been the league MOP that year.... but he is still just a running back, probably the most replaceable position in football. Always have a ton of respect for what he did for this team, but if he didn't come here it would have been some other running back doing the job adequately while the defense won us the 2019 grey cup.

This isn't about hurt feelings. This is about Harris while being very good is clearly not the difference you think he was... I mean the team won 15 games and is in the Grey Cup this season again without Harris so maybe he wasn't even the most important piece on the teams that won?

Yeah slow your roll there. Harris has a place among the team legends but he ain't the most important player in the teams history.

All week it's going to dominate the media cycle, and I suspect much like BC and Rourke being the media story the Bombers will get tired of hearing about it and do what they did this past Sunday and remind people why they are 2 time defending champions and why they went 15-3 this season and why they are the best team in the league.

Also curious how his foot feels after that... bombers made him have to run a ton because the coverage was too tight for his usual first read and throw quick. Ritchie Hall really did do what he alluded to in his pregame interviews. Toyed with a young qb. Only things of note Rourke did were when they got to desperation time and he just heaved prayers hoping his receivers could push off and make the catch.

Psst.. 2019 was 3 year ago...

Yeah if you're from the eastern part of the world... like I said, northern Europe specifically.

Honestly if your heritage is northern European chances are you got some viking ancestry. Those guys were everywhere.
