Thanks for clearing that up.

Someone once said they didn't like that there is "Too much focus on being entertainment rather than a supplement to the game that they are showing."

Some people are being dicks about it, but it really is a legitimate issue to question. Pretty much everybody on this site wanted us to do it, until we didn't. Then it's no big deal, and as you say, we should all get over it. It's hard for us to know to what extent they went looking for candidates, but you're right. I do want a thorough search. I guess I just never expected a thorough search to mean what others thought it might. That's fair. I don't know to what extent they did. I wonder about it though b/c there were really no names leaked that were actually interviewed for the job. How many things have we been able to keep quiet lately?

So how is it that an HC and an OC are being hired at the exact same time? Doesn't O'Shea get to hire his coaches? I wasn't there, but my assumption is talk of coordinators came up in the interview process.

Is Mike O'Shea now considered one of the old boys club?

What substance do you think is lacking from their broadcasts? What do you want to see that they aren't doing?

If CBC loses HNIC in a few years, we won't be able to watch Ron Maclean sexually harass Andi Petrillo anymore.

Watch MacLean & Kypreos go back and forth for 15 minutes and you'll be begging for the TSN panel again. I could run a show out of my basement with better production value than Sportsnet has. Terrible news. I'm actually honestly upset about this. I love TSN's coverage.

I can't stand Doug Maclean. He's terrible and now we'll be forced to listen to him all the time. Awful news.

I subletted an apartment from Randy Turner about 13 years ago. Thought everyone would want to know that. The messy bastard left guitar picks on the closet floor. Other than Dan Hill & Celine Dion, Shania Twain is probably the best one they've had. The idea of a halftime show is to get new viewers to watch, & old farts like BTO aren't going to bring new viewers in. In that respect, the Biebs was a pretty good pull last year.

...Since you brought it up, I've been meaning to point out that its "Seeing as how"...and not "Seen as how"... That bothers me too...

It would be a huge risk to let him walk. Certainly not one I would take in their position.

So Grant rolls the ball down the fied and gets flagged, but Ferri crushed a Ticat receiver well after the balls on the ground and that's ok? Pats vs Broncos time...

That's my dream for today as well.

Love your optimism... Like JBR said, it would be crazy for Collaros to re-sign in TO and let them control what happens to him. They have to trade his rights or lose him for nothing in FA. And as 17to85 alluded to, who really gives a crap about tampering? The slap on the wrist from the CFL would be worth it, as this is too important for us to screw up.

Why is Glenn to Ottawa such a sure thing? He's a free agent next year so if the Redblacks take him in the expansion draft, all they win is an extra few weeks to "exclusively" negotiate with him. Glenn's not a FA this offseason.

I didn't hear this myself, but I read on The Extra Point that Knuckles said the HC options are down to O'Shea or Jones. He also mentioned O'Shea as his guess to be the new HC a few days ago.

That would be a hard-ass, unlikeable pair of coaches.

I'd like to find out who else, if anybody, Miller spoke to about the GM position. I'm ok with Walters having the job, but I'd like to think we at least kicked the tires on other cadidates.See if we had anything close to the "complete & exhaustive search" he talked about when he was hired. Walters with some combination of McManus/Worman/Moll could do a good job for us.

http://ht.ly/r69YU Walters all but official & the Bombers have asked for permission to speak to both Chris Jones & Rick Cambell. Apparently Walters told one of the potential HC's during his interview that he'll have the interim removed from his title after the Grey Cup.

Glenn was pretty good in the West final last season.

I heard that too this morning on 1290. Pretty funny and pretty terrible all at once. Taman also said that he fully expects to hear from the Bombers once the game is over.

While true, I stand by my point that he's a jackass. Like Zontar said, he goes out of his way to rile people up. I'm pretty sure he knew what kind of reaction he'd get as a TO journalist insulting a prairie city.
