Save him for the playoffs!

You sure do love jumping the gun.

Since you have not followed the team for long and how the offseason/ end of last season progressed, it might be easy to say not to name the starter this far out. So knowing what went on its not hard to question that Willy will be  the starter. Firstly was rolled into town as a prized acquisition. The plan from the start of the offseason was to bring in one of three guys (Willy, Zach Coloras or Henry Burris). Willy was the one that they got. From the moment they traded for him it was pretty much in stone he was the starter. Willy has also seen the field and had preformed well in his time in Saskatchewan. Also come highly regarded from his past college coach Danny Barrett who was a very good CFL quarterback. Also the assistant GM who is a hall of fame quarterback in league really likes the kid. Plus we have spent the last 3 years with quarterbacks starting with very limited CFL experience, four to be exact, with disastrous results. Hopefully that gives you little background why he was anointed the starter.

Yikes...not even through mini camp and we are tossing the first coach under the bus for not being good enough. Typically Winnipeg reaction

Really like he is trying to say not that he does not have a playbook but its so different that you not recognize it as a playbook. I'll say this usually the first person to do something different in football is often given the crazy. Tom Landry and Bill Walsh were look down upon when they came up with systems that changed football forever.

I'm not blaming Friesen for the story.
 
I'm blaming Friesen for his whiny entitled attitude that goes along with his version of this story.

My seat looks dry

Come on.  Most of Friesen's stories and tweets seem to be about finding everything that is wrong with the Bombers.  The guy may as well write for the enquirer.

If I was the Bombers I wouldn't give Friesen access to see the damages either.
 
First, because Friesen puts a negative slant on almost everything he writes.   So he isn't the one I'm going to pick to bring in.
 
Second. I'm not letting any media in until any insurance claims and fault is determined.  
 
I don't have any issues with their response to Friesen.   It is a two way street.  If the media want exclusives and stories, they need to play the game back with the organization.

Miller knows Friesen only wants in to write a doom and gloom piece, I applaud him for telling Friesen to piss off. The media in Winnipeg needs to be taken in hand and controlled better. The sooner hacks like Friesen get cut off from the source the sooner they lose what credibility they had with the fans. 

Here is a great article from San Fransisco Gate from 2011 when Wylie was in Oakland http://www.sfgate.com/raiders/tafur/article/Raiders-coach-Bob-Wylie-boosts-offensive-line-2328642.php#page-2

It's Nate he will never set foot in the place but take pot shots at liberty.

Like in anything the truth is always found in the middle not on the margins. Although not fanatically on either side can not see the harm in reducing our GHG emissions and coming up with better mitigating technologies.

Stupid idea its masking the problem of under trained/prepared officials. Give them more support to actually do their job better.

Must be tough to negotiate and agree on issues in the CBA by the CFLPA. When half of your membership have way more value to the league than the other half who are easily replaceable. I don't a case like that in an other sport were the difference is as great as it is in the CFL as with the imports and non-imports.

Just listen to Rids podcast will be a good listen for draft info leading up to it.

Its going to last a long time with the it being part of a group of teams. Having the junior team, soccer team and football team under one umbrella gives them a lot more financial flexibility.

I miss Kelekis

I find it hilarious even though it was a terrible trade. MD is asking for more than Ricky Ray asking price.

Joking about Ukraine situation. Jesus....
There really needs to be a deadline on when all insults to past Bombers need to be concluded. Sick of hearing about Mack

Liram hirrajuju will make us all forget about palardy and his lack of muscles.

I like guys like Darrin Bauming and Kirk Penton. I may not always agree with their opinions, but it's still obvious that they actually follow the team and have some pride in their work. Ed Tait and Bob Irving are in that category as well.
 
I'd put Gary Lawless in a different category. I rarely agree with what he writes and I don't think he's a very good writer (blurs the lines between his job as a columnist and his job as a reporter far too often for my liking) but I still respect him because he puts in a good effort. He's just got a bit too much of an agenda for me.
 
Guys like Jim Bender, Paul Wiecek and Paul Friesen are just horrible. A quick review of anything they've ever written about the Bombers makes it obvious that they have pretty much zero understanding of anything related to football.
