The girlfriend is out for the evening, so a quiet night with a glass (bottle?) of rye and the Bomber game. Win or lose, this is a wonderful Thursday night in store. Go Blue!!!!!!

*edit*

Cornish didn't get one last week??? **** right off...I was only watching at a bar with no sound, but I coulda sworn that he punched one in. Damn it all to hell.....but I'll pick him again. Cornish.

Yeah, my first thought after reading the Penton piece was that Poblah shouldn't be protected. Done nothing to deserve that courtesy. Etienne and Kohlert need to be around next year.

Bottom line, as shitty as this team was this year, there's few things better than a summer night watching football, especially at the new barn. Hell, 17to85 and I have batted around the idea of getting STAMPS seasons (blech...) just because we love watching CFL ball that much. If I was back home, I'd go to the ends of the earth to get Bombers seasons...

Yeeeeesh, that's an atrocious list of "we didn't even bother trying..." Need a lot more experience, and a lot less "these were the cheapest guys that were actually willing to come to Winnipeg". Time to open the bank and pay the right people whatever they need to come here.

Herp! Better than Mack! Derp11!1!!

But he's on TV! TSN won't just hire any fool.... oh wait... I like him more than a lot of others guys they've used. Doesn't make him any less of an idiot. He and Mike Johnson are just complete *******...

But he's on TV! TSN won't just hire any fool.... oh wait...

I'll stick with Cornish -- thanks!

oh? Tell me what they are cause to me it seems like business as usual here from a players perspective. We don't know who the GM will be, we don't know who will be coaching, there's still no established star veteran players here, all we've done is trade a veteran qb for a backup receiver and trade arguably our top defensive player for a backup offensive lineman. How soon we forget the firings and placement of personnel that is the first step in plugging the dyke. That sent a massive shockwave throughout the league...people took notice. And it seems you're talking about our player's perspectives I was answering about outside our club. Some of the moves you mentioned just don't happen at this time of year...that gets noticed as well. It's quite obvious changes are on the horizon, but I agree the biggest and boldest moves are yet to come, What will cause FAs to consider Winnipeg as a viable team? 1) Snagging a "big name" starting QB. 2) Naming our next GM 3) Announcing who our next coach will be. I think what you're confusing is showing other GMs that Winnipeg wants to do business and showing players. Cause if I was a player I'd still see a team without a GM or coach right now, with a history of losing records, a team that fires a lot of coaches causing lots of turmoil... There is a hell of a lot of work to do to show players around the league that things are changing and it starts with hiring someone at GM or coach or both who has the ability to convince people that things are stable. Well, of course we don't have a Coach or a GM right now. Everybody knows that. But players don't decide right now. Everybody knows that too. But what we have shown them is that the way we used to do things...are changing. We are looking for stability. And the second part of what you said is exactly what I listed, except, in my opinion, we'll be going after a QB right away, while Walters is still the acting GM (I doubt his title would change that early) 3 more games...then the overhaul begins.... Is this like a haiku or something? Iambic pentameter?

...and Collaros could very well be another Spurgeon Wynn. I just don't trust other teams back-ups to come in here and have success....

Man, I can't tell you how much I hope the Argos brain trust is like you guys and chooses to keep Collaros and deal Ray......

Maybe I just haven't watched enough, but what the hell has Collaros done to get all this hype from people?? I really haven't been that impressed, and haven't seen anything to suggest that he can perform outside of this taylor-made offense that Milanovich has.

....and I'd take Burris WAY ahead of Collaros or Demarco, honestly. I don't trust either of those kids in a system outside the one they're currently in. Even if Hank is a short term fix while we train someone else, so be it. At least we know he can get it done in any situation.

what's being said in the post game?

Well, sir....these have been few and far between all year so I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna sip my whisky and enjoy the week not being a complete and total joke this time around...

Trying to wake up some ghosts today...wearing an early 2000s era jersey with my Milt jersey-tee under. Let's go, boys...gimme something to be happy about for a week...

There was at least 2 articles in the FP this week about it...

If you have a chance to get Ricky Ray, you do it...period. He's the best in the league, bar none. Need to have an OL to protect him, but without question, if he's available, you go after him. You pay him any amount of money...it doesn't even matter. Can you imagine if we could get Dave **** to come coach, and Frito behind centre?? We'd kill teams....kill 'em.

Didn't Taman leave before that season...?

Kelly's largest flaw, by FAR, is as a human being. All the on field stuff is almost forgivable, but who he is as a person....that's what ruined him for me.

From Jeff Bannon's FB page, there was a discussion about Kevin Glenn's .700 winning percentage since coming to Calgary. Someone called out Kelly for cutting him, and lo and behold, Kelly showed up and explained himself: Mike Kelly you're welcome Cary! Kevin got himself in shape, lost the braces and became focused again so I'm glad the change of scenery motivated him to improve...now I'm sure you also understand the business side of those decisions too, right? Each year is different and there are a lot of things you simply do not know. Our record from 2009 would be a play-off team this year so it's pretty difficult to give equal measure to different years. 2009 Montreal was 15-3, what are the now? Toronto was 3-15 what are they now? 3 of the last 4 years the Bomber record has been less than 2009 and the lone season it was better they went 3-7 in the last 10 where we won more than we lost after Labor Day...LeFors surgery went well by the way but he has chosen to coach high school football and doing quite well...enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend!!

lmao, did you seriously work a leg hump of joey smelliott into this post as a reason for our o-line looking respectable? your a riot man. i call and raise you a season in which buck pierce played his most games without injury AND reids stellar play.. *you're

LOL! Please tell me you didn't type this with a straight face, Mr. Kettle....
