Yup. So looks like he's a 24 year old Canadian with upside and a three year contract.
Anyone who thinks this is a bad trade is nuts
Next up, Muamba.

Rattling of makes of terrible choices proves nothing.

I think the structure is fairly decent. Where the board went wrong was in wanting to reduce the power of the CEO (Lyle). From that point on it was all down hill. Let's hope Miller can make better decisions.

Regardless of why he won't sign here now, trade him.  If Sask is desperate and will over-pay for a rental, do it.  Do it all day long.  We need to set the table for next year.

This premier is a joke. Look for more acts of so called accountability as his arrogant party shuffles towards defeat. What a jerk.

The completion of the Rapid Transit corridor to a dedicated transit station on the Golf Course is a must.  Once that is complete, it should be a tremendous experience getting to and from Stadium events.  Hopefully they include some enhanced landscaping/park space at that location too.  Walking through that area coming up behind IGF is a great view of the building.  Would be wonderful park, gathering, tailgating space.

I argued against firing Burke. But that game demands consequences. Someone has to go.
I understand the point of seeing what you've got but pulling Hall signalled the throwing in of the towel and that disgusts me.
All eyes should be on Wade Miller tomorrow morning. Something must be done.

Stewart even said "if it was for Buck so be it" or something like that. The players know the cheers were somewhat meant as a shot to the team.
If it was anyone but buck I have no doubt the fans would not have given a standing ovation. So I believe it was sincere. But I also think it was partially motivated by disgust with the bombers.I guarantee if Buck had tossed a TD the fans would still have cheered.
But that only happens because it's buck.
The players should stop throwing around words like disappointing and disgust when talking about the fans because the real shocking thing is how there are still fans at all.

Hall should have stayed in because he was moving the ball. Make some adjustments, sit him down. Coach around the int's. But pulling him for boltus was be equivalent of taking a knee at the half.

On the surface it's more government cash flowing to he team. But those crown corps have advertising money so I'm glad it's being spent on the bombers.
Whether they should have any advertising money at all is another discussion.

Come on , to suggest Burke would do something desperate or crazy is ridiculous.  You might not like him as a coach but he's not an axe murderer or anything.  He deserves a little respect.  He's not going to to do anything maliciously to hurt this franchise.

No. But much like disagree with a lawless article doesn't mean he's a fat bald ugly stuttering hack with no writing ability, calling Burke a **** idiot coward is emotional. Does anyone truly believe Burke the man is a coward? Or that he knows nothing about football.
I guess I much prefer the intelligent football discussion that this board was created to promote not the name calling.
Having said that, if he bombers had won in overtime I do believe people would still be upset with the knee. But Burke isn't paid to "go for it". He's paid to win and he felt the knee have them the best chance. I don't agree

Hall seemed to be trying to thread the needle a lot. And he came close many times. His accuracy and confidence could be a big positive. He needs some starts. Goltz is a waste of a roster spot at this point.

I understand now.  My opinion is different than yours so its easy to dismiss my point because I am "hanging off Buck's nuts".  Thats how people without a point to make try to make points.  I'm not disputing the validity of Buck as a starter or not.  My point is that Buck did not harm the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.  It's not a situation where we should be happy to rid ourselves of some terrible person who was maliciously harming the franchise.  If anything, mack was far more of a negative presence.  Buck showed up and did his job to the best of his ability and health.  Period.  He did nothing negative to the team.
 
I'd also argue strongly that Buono gladly took him because he recognizes that Buck has the ability to me an emergency fill in if needed.  Buono looks at the Bombers and likely puts more onus on a TERRIBLE O-line and TERRIBLE O.C. than he does in Buck's inability to play the QB position.  Buck was decent in 2011.  What changed in 2012 and this year?  Worse OC, worse Oline.  Upheavel.  etc.

This, whether anybody likes it or not, is the difference between a fan who knows what they are talking about about, and one who doesn't. Well said, well thought out. Great post.

As an unknown commodity, he is doing the right thing by trying to put his stamp on the team.  Wade will know what Walters is all about.  If the move was made tomorrow to make him official GM, I wouldn't be upset.
 
That might also impact the coaching staff.  Lawless reports that Wade and Walters both like Burke and want him to succeed.  The efforts Walters makes to improve the team this season will have a direct impact on whether Burke gets another chance with better talent.  Which ofcourse will determine the likelyhood of the other coaches staying on too.

Just because you think someone's hair is ridiculous doesn't mean he played poorly.

I would like to thank Buck for the time he spent here! They weren't pretty and he had to play behind some bad olines but He is a great community guy and has done lots for the city of Winnipeg and its fans. I wish him luck wherever he ends up.

Nope. Goltz was awful again. Take away a couple of circus catches that only are made once in awhile and its even worse. We still need a QB

IGF is tremendous.  I've sat in the end section of the upperdeck, no issue with sightlines there.  I dont think concourses are an issue either other than I know a lot of people that spend a lot of time in the concourse rather than their seats because you can see the field.  The Federal funding came in because of the tie in with the UofM.  Was the land also donated by the University?  ie. would the fair market cost of the land have pushed the fina; price tag way up had it been required?
 
I for one hope the UofM and Bombers use some of the surrounding land to increase the experience.  I know there is a transit loop going in at the Golf Course but that area should include some parkland and "gathering" space.  No reason why a Bomber game or concert can't be an all day major event in the summer.

I dont care who they hire, how old he is, how much "experience" he has.  I want them to feel they are hiring the best man for the job.  If thats Walters, then great.

Goltz raised my eyebrows. He deserves another shot

Private ownership is tough with the debt.  But if the debt could be re-assigned to the Stadium itself, maybe it works.  Sell the team for X amount of dollars, debt free and lease IFG for $1 with the caveat, the debt must be serviced at X amount per year.
 
A CFL team can generate some money and be a good business.  Just a matter of finding someone who really wants it and would do a great job. *cough* True North *cough*
