not just good up the middle, but guys up the middle who will put a hurting on the other team. It's really exciting. If they say a team has to be strong down the middle to be a good defense then honestly we are among the best in the league.

Kyle Walters not ******* around this year.

Well the theory is that between FA and the draft and the development of Wolitarski that they've got a bunch more competent Canadian receivers this year.

yeah no... that bar is set really, really really low.

yup he wanted to do everything so he owns all the blame for what happened.

I agree, let's blame the GM for all the unnecessary change that season. **** Mike Kelly. Worst thing to ever happen to this team.

people who know they've done shitty things will grasp at any straw to try and make themselves feel justified in their shitty behaviour.

God bless him for not allowing him to bullshit his way out of being a piece of ****.

Montreal has done stupider stuff than that.

Wouldn't be the worst idea.

If God forbid Nichols gets hurt in any significant way then we just pay the premium to get Glenn out of Edmonton or something.

Is he trying to make himself look like an even bigger pile of trash than he already is?

The fact that he up and retired is one thing, but not even mentioning it to the team first AND to flat out steal the bonus money he got for doing **** all.... what a piece of human garbage.

What a giant piece of ****. Sorry Darian I always felt people gave you a bad wrap but you're now on the trash pile of humanity.

"YOLO"

well that doesn't even sound like a remotely interesting story.

bad attitudes manifest themselves in ways other than in the locker room. When a guy demands to be among your highest paid and shows no loyalty to any one or any thing besides his pay cheque that's not the kind of person you build your team around. Those are guys you add in as supplemental pieces but you don't make them core pieces.

Bumping this thread cause I feel like it. Spent a few days in Vancouver, went to a few breweries and yeah had some pretty solid beers. If you like beer and are in Vancouver I recommend trying Brassneck. Sampled 8 of their offerings and not only is their beer naming game top notch but the beer is damned good as well. Fuggles and Warlock are the biggest nerds going but again good beer and good branding. I didn't think I would enjoy a gin and lime pilsner, yet here we are. Had a porter from Brittania as well which was damned good. Calgary International Beerfest goes this weekend so perhaps I will have more to add after that.

But again, it's about the balance. Walters signing Muamba to a reasonable deal and they put up with his prima donna act, but he won't pay top dollar, re-structure their entire teams payroll or cut others to fit him in. It's not like Walters didn't know exactly what Muamba was, he's dealt with him and his agent before, yeah he made him an offer but it was a case of "here's the offer if that doesn't work for you then we aren't interested"

I think it's time that people stop acting like it was just a case of money with Muamba as well. If Muamba was a different personality I bet that Walters would have ponied up the money to sign him, but the combination of money + attitude is enough for me to stay away. Or has no one else followed the type of people that this team wants in the locker room?

because 9 times out of 10 he's got a problem with what the Bombers do.

People bitching about this trade, never change Bomber fans, never change. I like the trade. They did add a lot of Canadians in free agency so what this really is, is Walters managing his assets. Probably figures they'll get a similar level guy at 7 or 12 but now he's got a couple first rounders to play with next season whether they use the picks on players or use one or both in a trade I really like it because a guy picked 7th overall this year is very unlikely to be the difference between winning and losing this season so why not play the long game?
