Needs a catchier name like "LaPocalypse"

From Kelly Moore on twitter (copied/pasted to spare you guys on mobile): -DE Jackson Jeffcoat told reporters during a media conference call that being wanted by @Wpg_BlueBombers was a factor in his signing a two year extension and foregoing CFL free agency. -Jeffcoat says he "thought" he had something going with Cincinnati- only to receive a call personally from the Bengals because they did not have contact info for his agent- who has since been fired. -By the time he hired a new representative, he was more or less going to be training camp fodder. So he got in touch with Mike O'Shea, and then Kyle Walters. Numbers started getting tossed around about a month ago, -And then negotiations took on a more serious tone over the last couple of weeks, leading to this morning's announcement. Jeffcoat says the Bombers are close, but he's not interested in being close. -And he sees Wpg as his best chance to win a championship for the first time since at least middle school. Sounds like we are lucky he slipped through the cracks. Glad he's back in the fold.

Moved to Bomber News

Walters tried to upgrade our receivers by adding Bowman last year. Who knew the tires had fallen off him that badly. Considering the turmoil going on all over the West and the number of 1-year contracts being signed from here on out you'd think Winnipeg is considered the best bet for a sure playoff cheque or two this season.

Congrats Brodie and KBF! You're looking fresh faced buddy!

What did iso used to say? Million dollar athlete, 10 cent brain?

Did this get posted yet? It's official.

Like they politicize the NFL at anthem time? I love this campaign and know others who do as well. Nice contrast to the hate and vitriol and phoney patriotism we see down South.

Better tell O'Shea then.

It would be funny to see Americans scrambling to get their Mexican citizenship... in order to boost their chances of getting a job... in Canada

Equally sad as it is unsurprising. Not like he can't be re-signed if he somehow comes back strong. Certainly one of our more exciting players in the past few years.

Nope, probably the contract extension he was given in 2011 that paid him through 2014 was why he worked for TSN. Kept collecting his 220k+ annually while double dipping with TSN as analyst until we re-hired him in the winter of 2015. It's the smart move, LaPo loves the smart move.

I dunno, if we can't score TDs we're going to need those 57 yard field goals and punts inside the 10 yard line. I don't know how much he gets paid but he's worthy every penny.

Bet I know who our starter is next season. That settles that, I think.

Seems like fans in the 3rd row were open all game!

QB quality the way it is around the league it's not like Nichols is going to up and disappear any time soon. Glenn found work this season.

Chip away at the ice in the outhouse

May be we should start Streveler next year if he can win or lose a game in one play and he doesn't even need 4 quarters to do it.

I just think it's a bit of a stretch to say this one specific play 'likely cost us the game' when Nichols had all game to do something and he couldn't. It may not be all on Nichols, but it's definitely not all on Streveler "You get one play to win the game kid or it's all your fault!"

Yep, winning is the goal and it's tough to do that with training wheels on. Let's see who we can bring to camp before declaring anyone our starter for next season. Streveler will still have his role to play, starter or not.

Let's not lose sight of who actually beat us today. Calgary is a good team and their record reflects that. They have one of the most effective QBs the CFL has ever seen and their depth at receiver is ridiculous. I sincerely hope they choke because frankly it's sickening.
