    OK you're right, if only the Bombers could have had those 8 players we would have won the Grey Cup.  LOL.  Get real.  The Bombers weren't in any worse of a position than Ottawa was.  Desjardins just made it work.  Give credit where it's due.

    I won't minimize Desjardin's success just because he didn't have to deal with our franchise's ineptitude. Sure, they had the expansion draft, but our bloated salaries and a possible perception that we were not a destination of choice, was on us. The fact that we started the race while wading in sand vs. them on dry pavement, was as much, our making as it was them having a head start. 
    I'm OK with being envious of their success, but now, we're moving forward..... and I hope that the way our team was run in the past will become a distant memory, and can be a cautionary tale for future leadership to remember.

    This lessens the chance that some of the infractions (see: Rider's phantom practice squad & player house) will be addressed in a meaningful way.
    An interim commish will be hesitant to start his/her gig by causing waves...unless the other clubs raise a stink and demand they be slapped.

    That would imply that Richards is behind Coates, both on the depth chart and talent.  I suspect neither is the case, but the sample size isn't much to draw from.
    Despite the resentment that has built up among some, Richards has been unlucky, not lousy.
