No, you're confused. That's why they haven't signed their draft picks. They aren't holding a rookie camp because Carm Carteri did a heel turn and retired after taking bonus money because they're trying to reset the market for signing first year players without Justin Dunk doing garbage reporting on it.
I think.
You have to throw in today's revelation that the Als are cheaters because they released some players and the Riders would be fined for doing that. lmao

Yet you're backing Mike for some reason?
Unless you haven't heard the Bombers purposely drafted Gray in the first round knowing he would not be here for a couple years as they feel he could develop in the states without having to pay him first round money.
I'm not backing anyone. I liked the Gray pick and understand the reasons behind it. However, that does not make it any less of a risk. Trying to portray it as a pick that has no potential to be a blown pick is just plain false. Walters rolled the dice that Gray will be back...hopefully he is...but if he never comes back then he blew a first round pick.
At this point and time, Gray is a first round pick of ours that we do not have under contract. Simple as that. The reasons are irrelevant because the cost was the same. Would any BC Lion fans say that Danny Watkins was not a wasted first round pick? I doubt it.

Irrelevant. Totally irrelevant.
I can look past the losing record. I can look past the bad coaching. I can look past the bad personnel decisions. I can look past the jet package. I can look past trying to take every snap from under center. I can look past the massive ego issues.
What I will not look past or gloss over is the way he threw people under the bus left and right to cover for his incompetence and bad choices. I will not look past or gloss over the snide and denigrating remarks he made about people who have given more to this league than he ever will. I will not look past or gloss over the generally awful way he treated people he deemed no longer relevant.
He behaved like a grade A tool from start to finish. Zero class. He could have gone 11-7 and it would not have mattered to me. That's an unacceptable, garbage way to conduct yourself when you're representing no one but yourself. He was behaving that way while representing my team. That's a thousand times worse.
I think there were very few people on the Bomber forums who voiced their dislike of Mike Kelly more than I did, and you pretty much nailed it as to why. A Grade A jerk.

Not semantics, facts. Sorry if you are that easily offended by correct information being posted. Gray is not unsigned, stating so would be implying that Walters has not done his job in signing him. Gray is not capable of being signed by the Bombers at this time, so there are no Bomber DP's not under contract.
All the Bomber draft picks *are* under contract now. And there is one SSK DP under contract... to Tampa Bay.
There is a certain first round player that is not under contract to us yet. His availability is irrelevant. He is our first round pick and he is not signed by us. That is what you call facts Aards...not some convoluted reach around to try make Walters look better. We all know he is in the NFL. However, if we never get him under contract then Walters will have effectively wasted a first round pick. Therefore, saying we have all our draft picks signed is incorrect. We don't, and the merit of picking Gray at 8 will depend on whether he comes back or not.

I'm just going off memory, but isn't that the offseason the Bombers switched from whoever it was doing their press releases to Rheanne? Maybe that's why.
Or maybe just classic miscommunication. Who knows.
I'm not sure. I can't recall when that happened tbh. Not that any of this matters anyhoo....we have Sukh extended and that's all that matters.

Not considering the team he had to work with... miraculous would have been having a better record...
You're not wrong, but your post swims in an ocean of irony coming from you. After all, you were the one dancing around the maypole on the corner of Sunshine and Lollipop Lane two years ago singing at the top of your lungs how great and misunderstood our team was at the time.
Hindsight is 20/20 for all of us, but it shouldn't be for you because you have constantly told us there would never be any need for it from you.

I highly doubt the team itself reported it's own signing incorrectly.
Could have been as simple as a miscommunication. Could be that they extended him as well, although it would be irregular for a team not to announce that for a player of his stature.

I specifically remember Darren Cameron reporting Chungh signed for two years initially.
Something must've gone unreported.
He did report that. Obviously his report was incorrect. It happens.

I could care less if Richards has played teams or not to this point, nor do I care how many receptions he's had so far. What I care about is whether he is healthy enough to contribute consistently, and whether his trajectory is still going up, and whether the coaches feel there is unrealized but attainable upside to explore.
What he has done to this point is irrelevant.

In honor of this momentous occasion, Aards has authorized me to offer you all a 99% discount at his store today!!
That should keep him busy...hehe

They're really only funny and worth more discussion when the team goes on about how the "big name" free agent signed with them and got a nice SIGNING (not the same as a Roster bonus fyi) bonus only to retire before even playing a single game.
I know you want to try to make it seem like the Price and Waggoner situations are similar (maybe to help make you feel better about that horrible off season last year?). But they aren't. Except for the fact that both players played football in the CFL. Waggoner actually played for the bombers. Unlike Mo, who played Jones and the Rider organization.
So again, I know priders are all over Bomber retirements with "I guess it's not funny when it happens to you" and the like. But the Mo price situation is unique in that he never once played for the riders, AND was a bigger name. So while other teams have had oddly timed retirements. Nothing has come close to being as funny as the Price retirement. I hope that helps clear up this insanely easy to understand situation for you.
The guys they traded for only to have them promptly retire were equally as funny. We got a season out of Smith, and two out of Waggoner....not the same thing at all.

I asked Marni from the Bomber forum and she said she was told it was a CFL issue and to keep checking back.
I heard Chris Jones, emboldened by his ability to fire media who question him, filed a complaint with the CFL about Bomber fans being too hard on him. He couldn't get to MBB because it's private but the league has temporarily shut down TEP. Let that be a lesson to y'awll....Don't screw with Jones....just don't do it.

For sure...it's not a competition. Both sites are great.

In the meantime, Aards' store sales will be at an all time high.
One can only hope that sales are so good that he just can't find the time to post anymore.

Well, in 2013 the mass migration from Our Bombers to here happened because you & others felt you could provide a better service & product than what was offered. You believed this website would be better. I just happen to think it is & you now have the best Bomber website going. I just made a general comment & if I ruffled some feathers I apologize.
It wasn't the comment per se...just that it was gratuitous and uncalled for. I would imagine that all the posters who predominantly post here do so because they prefer it. No need to knock a sister site to point that out.

For the record, I don't really agree with the way you handled it. I know how his words came across and for the record, I think both forums have their place in our online community and don't think it's necessary to proclaim one as superior to the other. But you really went after him there.
Who you talking too?

Not crying. I like this place a lot more than where you hang out. And it is a better website. I get my Bomber fix here & talk to posters that I respect & like.
Great I'm happy you enjoy it here. I don't see the need to knock the Bomber forum though. What for? No one asked for your take on it.

No, it makes you a bully like the arse you already are over there. You behave over here because people wouldn't stand for it & you know it.
Who is behaving like the arse? Certainly isn't me. What's the matter...you think you can throw drive bys and not have to sack up when called on it? Would you like a little cheese with your whine. You want to interject an unsolicited opinion into something then either own it, defend it, or take your lumps over it. Don't cry about it when someone challenges it. Disagreeing with your offending comment is not being a bully. You are starting to sound like GBill.

I have contacted Carol Barrott at the Bomber office and she has informed me that TEP will be back up by Friday at the latest.

I hope you're right...and that obviously is the gamble that Walters is taking. However, until this happens this pick is no better than our pick of Mulumba a few years ago, who everyone thought would be back by now too. Mack gets roasted constantly for that pick by some who are hailing the Gray pick as a wise choice. Just saying...
