Why are so many people OK with a guy we fired twice already?

How a website looks really doesn't matter as much, until the CFL gets better content on their website they'll still have the same old problems.

There is plenty of evidence that the current warming trend is both more severe and more rapid than the natural cycle of warming and cooling that the Earth has undergone historically. I find this defeatist attitude very depressing. Did not humanity act quickly to save the ozone layer from CFCs? Granted that was a much smaller issue as our lives weren't dependent on CFCs, but the point still stands that humanity can act with self preservation in mind when we put our minds to it. the natural cycle of warming and cooling is all over the map. Sometimes it's been slower in the past sometimes it's been faster. There is no historical trend. The chart of warming and cooling is all over the place. This idea that it's warming faster than it ever has in the past is hogwash and fear mongering.

Michael Moore is a self important *******. He could have some really good documentaries if he kept his own opinions out of them.

my favourite was always the Chris szarka is just as good as mike sellers types.

The book laid out pretty clear what was happening with Jon. The entire Melisandre chapter said it explicitly and the prologue happened for a reason

We did that with Barresi... then Crowton... then Bellefuile... Why would we need to give OCs time... should Redblacks have given Mike Gibson one more season? If the offence doesn't click within the first season, its not going to... So what would make Khari unsuitable? He's pretty much the stereotypical pick for a guy to get an OC position.... ex quarterback in the league, been on several offensive staffs the last few years and always has a job so he's not being shunned because he's a poor coach.... Seems like exactly the kind of guy who goes on to become an offensive coordinator. He got bumped out of the position in BC because of Cortez coming available so when you lose your position to a guy with that kind of track record is it really a black mark? His time as OC in Hamilton he had Bellefool as head coach and Kevin Glenn as quarterback, pretty much the recipe for mediocrity at best. If Khari Jones was anyone other than a former Bomber people would be more excited about hiring him, but having a past connection to the Bombers brings up too much talk of old boys clubs which are seen in a negative light around here.

I liked the movies but Tolkien was boring as **** to read.

That's mostly a show thing and I ******* hate it. The show missed the point of Ned and Robbs death entirely and opted to just try and continually shock people with meaningless deaths. Serious season 1 was good because it was pretty faithful but season 2 on they just butchered it. Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit are boring as **** books and hardly a representation of current fantasy. Show only watchers are missing just about everything that makes the books great.

He better win because he isn't the nicest guy around. I bet he'll do all kinds of things like not talk to local media, close practices & alienate fans. That's all okay but as Mike Kelly found out here that'llonly works if he wins. yeah Jones has that same mentality as Don Matthews. Guy is the biggest ******* going but if you win no one cares. Lose though and the knives come out quick.

Does Ottawa have money to go after big free agents? They have some big names of their own on that free agent list and presumably they're going to be getting some raises after this season...

With even less written material to follow I am not even going to watch the fools running that show bastardize even more characters and story lines.

NO! I can not stress this enough. Don't hire a coordinator expecting them to be the next head coach. How the **** has that worked out for this team the last times they've done it? Daley, Burke, disastrous. Hire the best OC for the team right now and if OShea gets fired midseason then just ride out the year cause the year is already ****** anyway and do a full search for a new head coach in the offseason. Didn't say it was the right thing to do Dave but, money will always be the driving force with the BOD and if they can save a few bucks on severance, they will. bullshit. I guarantee that thought hasn't even entered their heads because they aren't entertaining the idea that they would all fail. Isn't O'Shea going into the last year of his contract anyway? So if they fired him there's only the pay out until the end of the season anyway. This is just some nonsense fans cook up because they think they're being smart. They aren't. It's not bs, who is going to sign on as an OC/AHC for just one year? This affects more than O'Shea, your talking about potential cleaning house of everyone if O'Shea is fired, an interim HC installed, and then a new HC search next year, who will want to pick his staff. The beauty is that coordinators contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on so you give a guy the standard 2 years. If we're worried about O'Shea only having a year then I guess we aren't hiring any coordinator because of that? You don't need to make the new OC hire a new head coach. I'll say it again, no one is taking the job with the idea that things are going to fail and people will be fired. That's what makes it bullshit.

That's actually an idea I would really get behind. He did a lot of the OC work in 2000 did he not?

What is that argument? Asking in good faith -- I'd really like to see Cortez in blue but all I'm going on is the numbers and the couple times I watched his Jennings O late last season. Very curious what you see / hear. Is it an X's and O's thing? Is it an interpersonal thing? Something else? Mike likes to shun the old guard and hop on the bandwagon of the up and commers?

Yeah, but we have the Miller-Walters-O'Shea Flaming Hoop Of Mediocrity. The other franchises may be question marks, but our missing the playoffs again is basically guaranteed. The sentiment was actually "If we can't elevate ourselves let's drag everyone else down to our level"

probably. Never understood why the idea exists that format flips are the answer for a radio station losing ratings...

After wandering around the MLCCs last weekend man do I ever feel sorry for you Manitobans. That selection is just sad. There is some good stuff don't get me wrong but the options are so limited. Getting some more local breweries going will help a ton but man oh man... Maybe we're more spoiled here being so close to BC but yikes you guys are limited so badly. That being said there was some stuff at Barley Brothers that we don't see out here that makes me sad. Mostly stuff from Ontario that hasn't migrated out here yet. It's sort of a shame that Fort Garry was sold to Russell Brewing company... Russell has some stuff that I really want to like but it just seems a bit underwhelming to me and I fear Fort Garry might suffer the same mediocre fate. At least Half Pints is solid. I like what they're doing there.

I could see the locals in Sask turning on Jones quick if things don't go well. His attitude is basically a big **** you to all things media or reaching out and I can't see that playing well in that market.

Wasn't he even just the receivers coach not the qb coach? Seems like Wally is pretty surly in his old age.

You should. The CFL is a constantly evolving league. Would you want Wally Buono as a head coach these days? I sure wouldn't. Why? Because the game has passed him by, and there's an argument to be made that the same thing has happened to Cortez. Cortez wouldn't be my first choice. Like I said ... if Willy likes him enough, fine. But I'm wary of hiring him. Given that Cortez wasn't exactly a one off successful OC, he's been around forever and ran good offenses forever I think he has demonstrated an ability to adapt to a constantly evolving league. Maybe he's just getting too old for this ****... but I won't question his ability to keep up with the times. He's got as proven a track record as you can ask for, including with our current starting qb so he'd be in the top group of my wishlist for sure.

Do the Esks hate the Riders as much as we do? Yes, yes they do. Doesn't everyone hate the Riders? This should be in the league positioning statement somewhere....F*** those guys. I got their new marketting campaign right here.....
