I want to see him get his NFL pension so bad. 

That's a great deal.  I'm already a long-time subscriber and I don't think Manitobans properly appreciate how lucky they are to have a paper of such high quality.

I'm guessing Jefferson and Bryant are the only must signs on that list....

As sweet as this victory is, I'm cheering with: 
-Terrence Edwards
-Chris Armstrong
-Clarence Denmark
-Charles Roberts
-Yvenson Bernard
-Doug Brown
-Barrin Simpson
-Milt Stegall
and last but not least, Matt Nichols, who brought us here. Thank you Matt for bringing us here, and thank you Zach for carrying the sword when Matt couldn't. 

The 1984 Grey Cup was sweet but this is by far for me, the sweetest Grey Cup win. I never thought I'd have to wait 29 years which is why it is so extra special . I went from a young man with a young family to a senior with a new knee between wins. I truly thought I'd never see my team ever win another. Thank you to all the Blue Bomber players & coaches for making all our dreams finally come true. 

I'm almost certain Andrew Harris has been immortalized here in Winnipeg forever because of this. We've witnessed the formation of a legend tonight 

Good for the Bombers for stepping up (not like they had a choice). But I simply don't buy the story. Been to a million games and the story as presented doesn't ring true at all.  Cue the SJWs.

The coaches have had all the right answers in the last 5 games so I'll defer to their judgement on this decision for this game. Playing the Riders helps

You reap what you sow

Eventually we're going to need to get better output from our offense whether it's the tough thing to say around here right now or not. Nichols got it done when it mattered, but if he had of gotten it done earlier in the game, this one might not have been even close. You shouldn't go +6 in the turnover game and win by 14. You should be stomping teams by 20, 30 points when you get that many short fields.
I like what Nichols is doing right now, but I truly don't believe it's sustainable. I'm not saying Willy is the answer, but he's going to need to get a look at some point. Then again, maybe once Dressler/Smith are back, Nichols can show us some more offense as well.

Since Dave Ritchie, the Bombers have had 6 head coaches. Not a one of them had even a single game of CFL head coaching experience. 
Of those 6, not a one of them has ever been hired as a CFL head coach again. What does that tell you?

I don’t think it’s that obvious Noeller.
 
1. This kind of thing should never ever happen. Ever.
 
2. The Bombers have been part of a 50/50 scandal in the past. I think someone went to jail for it.
 
3. Earlier this year there was another 50/50 draw that was not claimed. The winnings went to the next games 50/50 and because of the pot being so much bigger, 50/50 sales were way up. In light of recent events, that 50/50 draw has to be in question now too.
Edit: As Voodochylde and Bigblue204 have pointed out, this 50/50 draw was carried over because the winner was determined to be ineligible. That makes this point somewhat irrelevant.
 
4. After Mr.Ritchot checks the web site and phones in to verify and is told his is not the correct number, the Bombers realize their mistake and change it on the web site, but they fail to inform anyone of their mistake. They knew someone phoned in with the correct numbers and still failed to inform anyone when they realized their mistake? Making the mistake in the first place is incompetent, but not informing anyone that a mistake was made is corrupt.
 
5. The Bombers front office has a well earned image problem.  This kind thing exacerbates that negative image.
 
In my opinion this is a very serious incident and it needs to be dealt with in a serious manner. The Bombers have been so bad for so long when it comes to their front office that I can no longer make excuses for them or give them the benefit of the doubt.

Rats.
 
Again with the safe, passive hire. God forbid this organization hires someone that might challenge the status quo or actually try something interesting.    

LaPo is great if you like milky toast.

Brohm has been in pro leagues for what 8 years? This is LH's 2nd year. He deserves a break because he's still wet behind the ears and there's still a good chance he gets it together.

The CFL first of all needs to make a fundamental shift reduce the number of flags thrown. If an infraction has absolutely nothing to do with the play result, then either don't throw a flag, or pick it up after and announce that the infraction had no impact on the play. The number of mickey mouse calls is infuriating and are ruining the game.
 
When the only flags thrown are actual penalties that had an impact on the game, then it becomes much easier to review them.

good grief man. Grow up.

And then when they get to a level where someone points out that if they're good enough for the CFL, maybe just maybe they're good enough for the NFL, then they want to play in the NFL.
