I don't know, I have a hard time seeing this as a Miller move. Why would he come in and demand that they start a guy who he has never seen in a game and never even seen practice yet? Doesn't make sense.

Wow. Didn't see this one coming.

Joe Mack's legacy, quite simply, is a 21-39 regular season record, 1-1 playoff record, an East Division championship and a Grey Cup appearance. There have been better GMs, and there have also been a lot worse.

So they could go back to having losing seasons I guess. It's working.

A disaster? He was the only guy that's been able to make Hamilton look somewhat respectable in the last decade

Are you sure? I can't find that anywhere and that is surprising to me too, if true. Can you point me to the quote?

Probably the same way you think "Buchko" spells "Joe Mack"

Grey Cup here we come

Having a QB coach is better than not having one, I think we can all agree on that much. Unless the QB coach is a moron, but that's different.

Because it shows how incompetent and unprofessional the current board is. These are the people that are supposed to be leading the franchise and they are clearly all pulling in different directions.

That would never happen. If he's fired as HC, he won't be here in any capacity.

You missed the most important part, that he's a TSN employee. I think the CFL and TSN have some sort of working relationship, but you'll have to check that one.

Like it or not, Gary Lawless is pretty much the king of Winnipeg media right now, and also a TSN employee. Not the guy you want to piss off.

That's called the Mike Kelly way of doing things. Not the way the franchise should operate. It's not on Gary Lawless to fix the Bombers' problems, it's on the Bombers.

Opportunity.

The Board needs to be accountable to someone. Right now, they aren't. Cute that you think that's not a problem.

You could be right. I guess its just tough to compare directly, especially when we've changed the spots we choose to use NI starters.

Maybe. I'm not so sure. When we talk about depth, that's guys like Stephan, Sherman, West, Labbe, Lucas, Swiston, Kohlert, Volny. Is that so much better than Fritz, Browne, Donny O, McKinlay, Mayne, Stephenson, Oosterhuis? Younger, for sure, but youth doesn't really help us win football games right now.

What's ridiculous about it?

If they're actually serious about getting rid of the leak, they should clear the entire board, guaranteeing that the one who leaked the news will be gone. This "If we ever find out who did it, there will be consequences" is just the same hot air as we've heard from the board a hundred times. They are not interested in real change, just keeping their spots.

As someone who lived in Calgary, I can say this isn't really true. The biggest hassle for me in Calgary was getting around. It's so damn spread out and if you have friends in different corners of the city, be prepared for some real travel time. And traffic... oh boy. I'm sure it's worse in places like Vancouver and Toronto, but I've never experienced anything in Winnipeg remotely close to rush hour on the busy Calgary thoroughfares.

Is our Canadian talent that much better now than 2009? I would disagree with that. Our receivers and running backs have gotten way better, but we've stagnated or gotten worse in pretty much every other spot. OL is worse, DL is worse, DB is worse.

You know that most Canadian players are special teamers and backups right? They can't all be starters and all stars.

Also, Poblah, Volny, and Woodson

I think Miller is going to come in with some good will built up. Last thing he needs is to start a war with the media.
