My only problem with Mike is his condescending "know it all " approach to others, and how we have a 20 year old kid giving lectures to posters on these forums like he knows it all, and has life all figured out. His approach just rubs me the wrong way, and he's the only person on these forums that stands out like that because of his know it all attitude, and just dismissing other posters ideas. I think I might need to just start doing what you used to do with Mike's posts and just ignore them. And I get it he has his posse on here, who back him no matter what, so I'm going to lose any internet pissing contest, but that's fine with me. I'm here because I love the Bombers and love discussing Bombers, not to make any friends. lol who's defending him though? Everyone is just saying, stop with the pissing match. Please, stop thinking about ignoring his posts. And just DO IT.

Yup, I come here to catch up on news. Maybe laugh a bit etc etc. I don't give a damn about what who likes who, or if something someone said wasn't 100% correct. Mike is knowledgeable, if you want to deny that....great. But shut the **** up about it on the forum and just ignore him. It's annoying.

Did you actually think he'd say different?

wonder if they will give him a chance to line up as DL in training camp

With Mateas going to the Redblacks, looks like Walters will get his guy.wait...what? It doesn't start till 7?Correct, but the Redblacks beat reporter said Ottawa is taking Mateas. oh ok...thought I had the time wrong...I'm still at work! Don't start the draft yet!!!

While this is true. Taman's MO is to build a powerhouse at any cost, and then rebuild. That's not what I want. Especially because we just had Taman do it...and if you don't win it all...it's even worse, as we all know. I want a huff or a Pop or a Buono. Someone who is going to build a powerhouse that stays that way for years. I'd trade that for a GC win at home 100%. While the jury is still out on the Riders this season and Taman's legacy there, bomber fans have seen this all before which is why it's so funny.

Some rider fans think taman is going to make an offer to Walters for #2 that would include hus....but considering he's currently exploring the nfl...why would anyone risk that?

This is just another step in the direction the riders where bound to go once they signed Taman.

I don't mind that. But I think Bucknor is better than JFG. But I guess it also depends on....would the INT rec make a bigger impact than the INT db.

Is it June yet?

This is awesome!!!

Hey Mike, what about all your long-drawn out speeches about how it's not cool to post in here to prove when you were right? I guess it's different when you do it. Gotcha. You really make me laugh sometimes. Those are Walters' words not Mike's Yes, I know, but he's doing it and bolding it to prove he was right. Nit pick all you want, it's clear what he's doing. I don't know about Mike. But I WAS right. When this whole kerfuffle started, I said it would be resolved before TC and that everyone who was panicking was overreacting. So.....HA!

what was he tweeting?

We need to go shopping at Sears.

Meh, just a player saying exactly what the fans want to hear.

I would rather have a guy that can do both, you know...like most of the other GMs. Yeah, I'm not sure having 25% of your starting lineup really strong and 75% kinda meh is a formula for success. Every GM we've had has demonstrated some positives and some negatives. What with them being human and all... Pff lame humans.

Or maybe we draft two receivers that we value more and just cut him loose. PR and TC spots are not infinite. If the Bombers feel that he is too long term a project and have other bodies they feel can contribute at his position then they would cut him loose. Without knowing how the rest of the offseason unfolds, how he does in mini-camp (yes there is the distinct possibility that he looks incompetent there), and who else we may need PR spots for, I am at a loss as to how anyone can pencil him in as a PR guarantee. He will have to beat the odds to get a PR spot imo. They would be making a mistake to cut him this year IMO. It's not often you find an CND with his size playing a skill position. Even if he is useless at first, keeping him on as a project is almost guaranteed.

Yep if it's an uncontested offensive game it's not exciting. One of the things that makes football great is one side winning those individual physical battles. A receiver making a great catch with e DB all over his back. Now we'll see some minor contact drawing a flag and teams will move 20 yards up field for doing nothing. It's a tough physical game, why are we pussifying it like this? This is the rule: It will allow a defensive player to contact a receiver that is in front of him within five yards of the line of scrimmage, but it will not allow either player to create or initiate contact that impedes or redirects an opponent beyond five yards. ​There is nothing there that will prevent D players from making plays on the ball or getting position on O players. Not all plays in the past have had D players restricting the movements of O players. That was still illegal contact. Battles for the ball will still be viewed as who has a chance to get the ball. It does not automatically mean interference calls on either side. ​Let's slow down a bit before the panic sets in. It will not be the flag fest nor the offensive wild spree that is being portrayed. The players know how to play football…they will adapt. I believe you are giving CFL refs way too much credit. Guaranteed the first time a Defensive player jumps up to get a ball and contacts an offensive player while doing so...PI on the D.

excited for this guy. Hoping he shows well and can grab a spot on the roster! 6'5 Cnd Rec would be nice to have around.

Mentioned this on Twitter once or twice in February, but the longer we wait, the more I think he may just have been offered a shot at mini camp or may have been released by now in favor of someone they liked better.

I told you, Kuale was cut already

Someone asked what he thought of Volnys comments after he was cut and showed a picture of an article with a headline - Volny on O'shea - "he is a terrible coach" I can't find the article. And that's the first I've heard of him saying anything like this. Anyone have any idea about it? Is it a fake? Also...he never answered my damn questions!!!

The designated import spot has now been replaced by the "wildlife" spot where teams will be allowed to roster either a bear, deer or moose. I would like to see a Moose lined up at DT... good luck stopping that... until they implement the "designated Ford F150 for O-line" rule... then it might be close... Ha, ford F150 tryin to stop a moose? We're better off lining up Will ford against it.
