    Yeah, he was in discussion last year with us. He has been an oc in the nfl and cfl previously. He was an nfl offensive qc/pass game co another 6+ years.

    Mike Miller Toronto QB coach, not our current ST coach.

    That seems right... So that would be another week from today. So if they wanted to talk to him THIS week, they needed to ask permission... Or else wait until next week. 

    But let's be honest... Rules or no, O'Shea and Pinball are old friends who both are likely to be hanging out this week during GC week. Conversations are going to happen, regardless. But Pinball being Pinball, is going to take the high road and keep up appearances...

    Already have according to Naylor.

     

     

  4. CFL East Division Final: Montreal @ Hamilton

    Other than him grabbing his hammy one time, did he look injured? I didn't even notice.

    Yeah he did his best to hide it but he wasn't moving quite right & the Als had MBT warming up for a good chunk of the 2nd half for a reason.   If that happened early in the game, I doubt he finishes so the question is can he last a full game against the Riders?  You'd have to think they're going to bring a ton of pressure in order to make him move as much as possible.

    the prestigious MBB poll voted decisively in favour of Montreal.

    Would be interesting to see how the MBB predictions fare against the cfl.ca ones...

    Historically, we do better in our picks and this year is no different but it's close.

    On CFL.ca, Pat Steinberg is in the lead with 56 correct picks.  The rest of them have 53 or 51 correct picks. For this game, they are pretty split (3 MTL and 2 HAM).

    On 3DN, JC Abbott leads with 57 correct picks.  The rest of their group ranges between 46-54 correct picks. They are picking the Als in this one by a margin of 8-2.

    Not saying Dinwiddie isn’t a great coach but gm also is interesting. Good luck to RD tho. Wonder if we see sone interesting changes in ottawa. Not if actually but how many. 
     

    I think lapolice is the obvious choice maybe with Khari as OC and maybe grab a Montreal assistant as DC. If Osh leaves. 

    From what Dinwiddie said at his presser, he was already doing a lot of GM duties in Toronto because MLSE is cheap and ran a lean front office.  He actually expects his workload to lighten in Ottawa because Burke will still be doing a lot of the GM stuff (like contract negotiations).  Dinwiddie made it clear to MLSE earlier that he wanted to be HC/GM but they were happy keeping Pinball in the GM role so that's what prompted the move to Ottawa.

    I mean I’m fine with that. He’s the head coach. I just think 9 straight playoff appearances 5 straight cups and the first time it’s like no cup final it’s time to move on is a bit premature. I think O’Shea actually deserves to be here. Kyle or the GM tho needs to put their foot down a bit and not sign guys past their prime. It’s that simple. If Osh doesn’t want to move on from Jake kola Willie Neufeld Stan etc then you either move on from O’Shea or you don’t sign the players to contracts or you release them because it’s football. The goal should be winning. And that means making the “tough” easy decisions.  If it’s not to O’Shea anymore then ok time to move on.  But I’d give him an extension and tell him it’s time for change. Cuz they ain’t getting any younger. That leash would be short tho. Much shorter than it has been. 

    That's pretty much what most people here are saying.  If MOS is not willing/able to make those much needed decisions, then like it or not, we need to part ways. If he can do that though, he should be brought back ang given an opportunity to right the ship. But I would be having that conversation before any extension is given.

    So the bombers could save lots of money by letting every other coach besides O’Shea go then. Cuz wtf is the point of the other coaches. Youngers D would be lethal with the right guys. lol. Hogans O would be with 5 milt stegalls also. I mean the right guys. If only O’Shea scouted and kept all these pre season all stars working at foot locker. 

    He might not scout but it looks like he has more say in the roster than you seem to think,

    Quote

    ou also wonder what the expectations would be as far as job title. While every other coach has a second role – either as a GM or co-ordinator – O’Shea is strictly the head coach, giving him the best gig in the CFL. As for roster control, he has a lot of that, too, seemingly the same as general manager Kyle Walters. I don’t see him getting that anywhere else but Winnipeg, so I’m predicting another extension with the Bombers, which is where he belongs.

    Arbuckle in 15 games was 365/504 with 4370 yards and 26/15

    In Kellys MOP season in 18 games he was 270/394 for 4123 yards and 23/12

    Only real difference between the two stats wise is Team wins and Kelly also ran the short offense and has a bit more mobility.

    There really wasn't much of a drop off between Kelly and Arbuckle

    It is a team game though so I'm not completely blaming Arbuckle (Toronto's defense was really good in 2023 and terrible this year, allowing the most points, by a fairly wide margin).  They have bled a lot of talent on that side of the ball over the last couple seasons.

    Stats can also be misleading and don't tell the whole story so I wonder how much of his numbers came in garbage time?  I looked at their season schedule and they trailed going into the 4th quarter in 13 of 18 games so there was a lot of opportunity to put up numbers in a losing situation.

    So our answers are a guy who isn't available and an imaginary coach with no name. lol.

    My buddies have had this discussion but based on Walters/MOS leaving on their own. 

    GM - Danny Mac
    HC - Younger

    These are not my choices, just actual examples lol. My choices are the guys in the roles currently.  IMO they've earned the right to attempt to right the ship.

    Even if they decided the best course of action is to maintain the status quo?

    I agree that they have probably earned the right to try to correct things but at the same time, this wasn't an overnight event either.  They've let the team veer off course for a couple seasons now and if the best they can come up with is to keep doing the same things that got them here, then I no longer feel they have that right.

    CTE + rampant use of Meth in Hawaii.    Tony Ferguson will be the next guy with this wrap sheet....  

     

    With how long he's fought and the number of head strikes he's taken, you can probably add Max Holloway to the list too.  He's just not as far gone as Tony.

    I don't blame him for kicking around and seeing if he can get on an NFL pr for the remainder of the NFL season. It makes a lot more sense than sitting as the 4th QB on our PR for part of the season.

    So long as he doesn't waste next years TC here trying to fish for another NFL TC invite. 

    Yeah didn't make sense for the Bombers to bring him in late either - that would have just burned a year off his rookie deal.  Let him sit by a phone that's not ringing for now and try to get him here for a full season next year.

    Those "reports" are apparently incorrect.  Dana White confirmed they are working with the FBI on this and they (UFC) actually questioned the guy before the fight but still let him compete.  Once they saw how the fight played out, they got in touch with the FBI.

    CTE is a terrible thing.  Here's the cliff notes for Penn's 2025 so far:

    • 1st arrest: Arrested after altercation with his 79-year-old mother (issues with his family stem from his claims that his family had been “killed” and replaced with imposters).
    • 2nd arrest: Arrested for a violation of a stay-away order from his mother
    • 3rd arrest: Arrested for failing to appear in court
    • 4th arrest: Arrested for violating a restraining order by breaching a property
    • 5th arrest: Arrested for entering a property and violating a court ordered protection order filed by his mother
    • 6th arrest: Arrested for third-degree assault on a 45 year old man
