"So...what's your point? Ours will end up being taxpayer funded too."
When that happens lets ***** about it. Until then, it's irrelevant. Ironic eh?
-
Quite right, it's not a pissing contest. Just an incorrect comment in passing: "The Bombers have yet to sell out a game this season" that I felt needed a rebuttal...I don't really see where a pissing contest about attendance breaks out. He's saying that the Bombers will be relying on a gate to service the debt (Buchko said they needed 31,500 a game to do it), while the Tiger-Cats won't be in that position, which could affect football operations and the money available.

The team does not sell out games in a 13k stadium in a city of 140k about an hour from their home city. They are hardly in a position to call down Winnipeg's attendance.
Not for this year IMO. Not a heck of a lot of people (I assume) were going to travel from Hamilton to Guelph 9 times out of the year, and I doubt Guelph fans would shell out $$$ for a team that is only there temporarily.
Comparing attendance is relevant.Comparing Winnipeg's attendance to Hamilton (guelph) is irrelevant
That makes attendance relevant IMO.

Not sold out yet? Drew has not done his homework. One sellout; average attendance 32,251; capacity 33,500. This for a 1 - 8 team.
Hamilton attendance: 12,939, in a 13,000~ seat stadium.
Just sayin'.

Its been 18 minutes. Any activity?

Time to give "insert journalist name here" an opportunity to manage/coach the Bombers.
That said, I'd love it if TN ran that football team. Just to see professionals in every role. Imagine, no more bozos in all the most important roles.

Ya know, most Bomber fans know by now the good ship Blue Bombers is in trouble. Must he spend so much time dwelling on it? Must he take every opportunity to rub it in?
In his defence, weicek is not the only Winnipeg sports writer incapable of rising above the obvious to write an original story that does not include shots at the team.
More's the pity.

The guy is money and unlike Pierce he only fumbled once!!!
On what? Four touches? Good call... Money. Yup.

How long is a piece of string?Define ready?
He scores two TDs
He's ready when the coaches feel he is ready?
Not sure what your two TD comment means.

Once again how many years does Goltz need before he is allowed to play
Hopefully, when he is ready.

Is this the same QB some were predicting great things for? Some of those peeps pilloried Mack for not going after Reilly, fearlessly predicting he'd be head and shoulders better than any QB in Winnipeg.
But it's only one game you might say. Sure, it is. However, those predicting great things from Reilly made those predictions based on Reilly playing very little in BC.

That being said we would lose to both of these teams since our offense sucks
Feel better now?

From your book "how to win friends and influence people"?Smart Alec.
Nothing changed, no veteran free agents were signed, doesn't matter who, when, where or what.
The simple fact that none were signed is proof that nothing has changed.
Sorry if the gang is too slow to get it, it's not my problem.
Your opinion might be right. Or wrong. Who gets to decide?
-
We missed the boat on a few game changers , but I don't think it would of really mattered.
Kindly name them.

"Wetenhal has been giving away trips to Europe as door prizes to players wives/girlfriends at his 'appreciation parties' for years.....it was all over the CFL site that Cobournes better half won the trip for two to Paris.......there is more out there too, you just have do your own looking."
The CFL knows and condones these perks?
The eight team governors have turned a blind eye to this recognizing it hurts some teams and unduly rewards others? Gracious people these CFL governors....

Enlighten you? Whatever gave you the notion I'm defending the board or the status quo? Unh, you opened the BOD old boys club conspiracy theory. I'm trying to understand why you believe that.
I completely agree the Bombers have been poorly run for decades, both on the football side and the business side.
Is the BOD inept? Possibly. There are political appointees on the board. That alone is enough to create suspicion.
Would a private owner make a difference? Who knows? It's all spekulayshun.

But what is their agenda? What are the old boys club on the board doing to sabotage the Bombers?
-
There are often comments made that the Blue Bombers fritter away trade opportunities. For the purpose of this discussion lets TRY to ignore conspiracy theories why the Bombers can't or won't trade. Lets just look at the world of trading in the CFL.
It's my recollection that there are precious few trades made in the CFL. For instance, how many trades have been made in 2013? 2012? 2011?
Perhaps if we can understand the dynamics behind CFL trades we might put the conspiracy theories behind us.
-
What do you suppose the agenda is of this old boys club? What is it they are doing that is resulting in the current status? What would you have done differently that would guarantee success?

Actually, the panel didn't BLAST anyone. Schultz didn't agree with the Bombers move. Climie was mostly on the fence leaning towards disagreeing. Dunigan agreed with the Bombers move.

The new Hamilton stadium IS being built exclusively due to the Pan Am games.
