Our fickle-ass fans would be the biggest issue... I think Glenn's a reasonable enough guy that he wouldn't hold Mike Kelly's sins against Walters/O'Shea/Miller; 3 entirely new leaders. BC does have greater resources than we do right now to throw at the problem, so if that's what it comes down to, I'm completely fine with booing him as a Lion. BTW... a trade to BC would make Toronto and Edmonton the only CFL teams Glenn has not been a part of. He'd be a modern day Dunigan! Technically he has been an Argonaut. He would actually be missing Edmonton and Montreal.

Most teams carry 4 or 5 QBs through the season. No reason Hall and Brohm couldn't both stick around if we got Glenn.

I want to talk about something that really grinds my gears
Atomic replied to Mike's topic in General Discussion
Hell I'm still a big fan of Gondola pizza. But as far as small places go, Calabria just off Kenaston is pretty damn good. Not just pizza but also pasta and subs. -
Why does everyone forget this game???? This was the worst game I went to in Winnipeg. 3 minutes into the 2nd half, I went to the store, then walked to my car. Nov 2, Hamilton 37, Wpg 7 Name Comp Att Yards TD Int HALL, M 18 35 160 0 1 Worst game I went to was when BC was here. What a total disaster.

Great Bombers article from Gary Lawless today
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Lawless does a fine job. Look how worked up you all get. Mission accomplished. -
Better to trade a fair price for Glenn now than to wait until we are 0-4 and have to pay a king's ransom. IMO. I'd be willing to part with, say, a third round pick and Johnny Sears, if that was enough to get the deal done today.

I still think he ends up in BC.

Heritage Classic Vancouver - What's The Point?
Atomic replied to iso_55's topic in General Discussion
I will, no question. It will sell out in minutes. -
He finished the season on the practice roster, meaning he has been a free agent since the season ended.
-
He has been off the roster for a couple months iirc

Heritage Classic Vancouver - What's The Point?
Atomic replied to iso_55's topic in General Discussion
Well, if the regular season is monotonous, that's kinda the problem right there. Right. And having the outdoor games helps to alleviate that. Now you get it. -
Yes, when he came into the league. He was Montreal's OL coach for 4 years before becoming their OC.

They added the bagged BBQ flavour a few years back. Absolutely awful. I don't know why they changed it, but I'm glad you can still get the good flavour in the box. -
Buck Pierce set to announce retirement today
Atomic replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up on Winnipeg's coaching staff. -
Heritage Classic Vancouver - What's The Point?
Atomic replied to iso_55's topic in General Discussion
I don't understand why people get all up in arms about these stadium games, I really don't. It's a fun deviation from the monotony of the regular season and I can't wait until we get one. -
Most fanbases wouldn't be concerned about their #3 QB needing to win games for them. Unfortunately we've watched our third-string QB start at least one game for us in each of the last 5 seasons. How sad is that.

Bombers trade for QB Brian Brohm; cut Justin Goltz
Atomic replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I wouldn't necessarily assume that. It could be either one. In fact the condition may involve both picks, I.e. if he doesn't start any games it is the lower 4th round pick, but if he starts between 1-3 games it is the higher 4th round pick. Just as an example. It may end up being that pick, or it may not. -
Bombers trade for QB Brian Brohm; cut Justin Goltz
Atomic replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Pretty much, Alex Hall and a 2nd round pick for Neufeld and Brohm... ... not really. ...? Did we not trade a 2015 pick as part of the Neufeld deal? we traded our 2014 second rounder Kels may actually be right. We received a 2015 fourth rounder in the Neufeld trade. So it may be that same pick that gets traded to Hamilton for Brohm. -
Maybe my numbers are way off, I don't know. All I'm saying is that the owners need to be tough on the players and not compromise this opportunity to finally put the league in a really strong position, financially.
-
A CFL team is not an attractive commodity. This is why you have one guy owning two teams. Why? Because they barely turn a profit in most markets. Let's get some stability for the owners and maybe turn owning a CFL team into a worthwhile investment. Until then, the players are just going to have to settle for what they're getting.
-
Makes sense? No, that doesn't make sense. The players are easily replaceable. We're not talking about the best players in the world here. We're talking about the B-list football players and there are tons of them out there. If they don't like the salary they're getting, too bad, we can find another guy to do your job just as well for whatever pay he can get. The owners have all the leverage and they should use it. Caving to the players' demands would be a huge mistake.

More concerned about the health of the league than about whether Dwight Anderson can buy more diamond jewellry. 46,000 for six months work is plenty. Arena League players would kill for that.
