I think I heard somewhere that 98% of all stats are mad eup on the spot....or something like that.

Rick Ralph and Don Landry just talked about this on TSN1290. Scott Milanovich apparently did this last year in Toronto. Said no coordinators to talk to media during training camp, preseason and playoffs. Allowed a few interviews during the season. Said the reason they did this was it allowed the coaches to coach and not have to worry about what they have to say after practice or after a game.

And if he has a bad day at camp all you will read is a story from PF on how bad of a decision it was to pick him #2 overall and that the sun won't come up for another 23+ years because our new coaches and management are complete morons.

As Bauming said this morning if you simply ask O'shea anything you want to know he will tell you. If you don't ask he's not going to say anything. Pretty simple if you ask me. Well, that's the story right there. Mike O'Shea has been totally accessible and forthright, he is working with, and including the media. Give him the respect he deserves and he will do the same. You don't make friends by kicking someone in the shins, and hiding behind press credentials. Here we go with that C word again......I'm fairly Certain my 5 year old has more Credentials.....

I sort of like......."It's a Non-Issue......It's Handled Internally......I'm not going to talk about it.....next question......."

Whoa whoa whoa WHOA!!! You actually had some respect for him? Well yeah I had respect for him.......i'd never want to write anything in the paper relating to Sports in Winnipeg. It's not easy to write an article and make everyone like it. But it's really easy to write down anything you want and just put it to print. It takes a skilled writer to see both sides and be able to write a balanced article. I don't even care what Friesen wrote in this article but to come out and compare MO to MK after barely watching a practice is laughable. The ONLY thing these two coaches have in common is their first name! After that it's a sheer drop off.

As Bauming said this morning if you simply ask O'shea anything you want to know he will tell you. If you don't ask he's not going to say anything. Pretty simple if you ask me.

Are you implying that he has credentials??

I stood behind Friesen for almost a half an hour at noon today and not once did I see him glance at the field more then 10 seconds. All he did was as he puts it "Flap his gums" to all the other media guys there. So was this his first day at practice? Did he bother to show up for rookie camp? Because if he is comparing Kelly to O'shea after maybe 3 min of watching practice I have lost the last ounce of respect for that guy.

Was down at IGF at noon. Caught the last 20 min of practice. And wow Willy does have some nice throws! Woods was lining up at WR for a few plays and made some nice catches.

Fixed as I don't like getting lumped into the negative crowd.

I contacted the bombers about the nine markers last year. When they dug down to put the tenth one in they found some buried cables so they now need to move the tenth one over and then add the eleventh one next year

They will be putting up a statue of Bud Grant this year. But shhh I didn't tell you this yet

With the injuries that are happening I hope they aren't pushing the guys too hard too early.

Someone needs to forward that article to the Sun with the Subject: How to write a Sports Article 101

Cleo Lemon and Cody Pickett immediately come to mind. who?

I didn't.....but then again I don't live in Winnipeg

That pic looks like a good "Caption this" photo

I remember all of this too, sammy had nothing to do with any of it, im fairly certain of this. Katz is just a photo op pig, that's really what he does best.. takes pictures and then pretends he actually knows what's going on. I dont disagree with anything you said cuz i remember the same interview. Pretty much word for word actually what you said i agree with. I said sammy wasn't at the press conference and the people that actually mattered and who were actually in on it where. I also remember hearing TNSE was peed at sammy for actually going on about things like he was in on it. Fact is, he wasn't. Had no clue, and just spouted off about things because it would get his name in the papers. That's all katz really cares about.. getting his name in the papers. As a side note to Spuds.. pretty tough to avoid politics when it was a political decision that actually made this become what it is now. This whole transit decision was kaiboshed by politicians. Hard to avoid politics in a thread when politics are the reason for it really. Correct. He was at the front of the Conga line don't you remember!

Keep the reports coming! I can't make it until the weekend Always so much optimism this time of year

The sideline

I'm not sure they can afford a ball if they go on strike.....Isn't this why they are going on strike in the first place!

Great too see from the young QB!
