You know, as if I didn't dislike you enough, now you're a Pens fan?? Bring on the hammer...

He's had a bit of a free ride from the media, something that, competent or not, Mack never had from day 1. 
 
If we go into next year with the same lousy o-line, Romby at receiver, and Etch as DC I would start asking WTF. 
 
Fricken 3 imports on the O Line and Willy has no pocket. Stupid. 

If Willy doesn't play -- and I expect he will -- then we are in tough.
 
Heck, if Willy does play we're in tough. 

Why are you bringing up the Bombers?  
 
It was a poor football game on both sides, especially at QB. Accept it or go back to Riderfags in your Tito Sunshine jersey. . 

Now the Riders just need to recruit Jermaine, Jackie, and Marlon and they have all surviving members of the Jackson 5.
 
Tito Sunshine feels no pain, Tito Sunshine just moves the chains. 

Did you watch the game or just read the stats ticker afterwards?
 
Its okay, I dont blame if you bailed out after the 1st quarter and washed the car instead. 
 
Tito Sunshine don't care. Tito Sunshine don't give a ****.

All knowledgeable fans now how bad it is. And no fan should be relieved they got the calls on any given game because one day you wont and your team will be victimized as bad as they were helped. Guranteed.

Like this has *ANY* relevance at all .. Average Joe Taxpayer doesn't care one iota if the Bombers are holding 'stealth' practices at IGF .. hell .. if anything I would think the average taxpayer would think something like this:
 
"They damn well BETTER be practicing there for all the money we spent!"

and at the start of the year everyone hoped we would be a mediocre club... we're better than the worst teams and able to play with the better teams even if we don't get the win. That's an acceptable first step considering where we started from. 

I try to watch my diet by eating a lot better. I belong to Good Life. Lift weights & for cardio I use an Arc Trainer by Cybex to burn calories. Probably in the best shape I've been in since my late 20's. It's an outstanding machine. I just sweat a ton every workout. For a guy who is 59 I think I'm doing alright. Took me my entire life to  get my vices under control. I tell ya, in my 20's I was the life of the party. 

I think the guy running on the field was just trying to tell everyone how bad kuale is.

Congratulations on your victories.

I bet Max doesn't even know. One thing I've learned from alcoholism & drug addiction that seems to unfortunately run in my family is, some people are born with addictive personalities. I battled my addictions over the years.... I smoked 2 1/2 packs a day for two decades till I quit in 1996 for good. I weighed 310 lbs because I ate like it was my last meal & would snack nightly on chips & french onion dip, nachos, KFC, McDonalds at all hours, mostly at night when my wife was asleep. Then I'd shamefully bag up all the eaten goodies, walk out to the garbage & throw it away thinking she'd never know when she did. I remember asking myself why I did what I did & had no answer. It was like those addictions controlled me as I couldn't control them. And then I'd feel like absolute crap the next day being sick. I drank too much but wouldn't classify myself as an alcoholic but it was close. About the only thing I didn't do was drugs too much... Well, today I weigh 210 lbs, I don't smoke & I only drink occasionally. I haven't been drunk in years... But seeing my dad & uncles battle the bottle & with my demons, I think we were born with addictive personalities... That's my theory anyway. 

Good luck finding a post in this thread that has anything remotely to do with athletes being role models.
 
But, given that he's been coaching high school, he is in a position where there is an expectation that he acts as a positive role model.  

Without a doubt this is a bit of a shock .. addiction is a terrible thing to try and overcome .. hopefully he gets the help he needs.

And a lot of people would say that Khari's career got shortchanged due to injuries from playing behind our crap Oline.
 
This Willy kid is the real deal.  Hopefully our Oline gets a massive upgrade by the start of next year so Willy's career doesn't go the way of Khari's.

Messam has had 2 good games this entire season, both vs the bombers, i wish people would actually look at the bigger picture and realize that our team is very vulnerable to the run, it's not just messam and the riders that have run on us, it's the entire league. Doesn't matter what team we play, they all run on us. 

I suspect you're probably right.  Once Bomber fans stop worrying about making the playoffs they'll get back to appreciating how much better this team is and what a bright future they have.

Bombers will be in tough to go .500 down the stretch as Etch-y teams don't fare well in the cold. 
 
This will take an offseason to fix. 
 
A new RB or 2, a bunch of OL help, and a new DC. I'm actually not too unhappy with Marcel...yet. 

Year one of the New Regime. Still lots of work to be done. 
 
I would look long term (this off season) and improve the O Line and get some serious competition at RB. 
 
(Might require a new OC too....looking far ahead of course.... not next week)
 
This team is well on its way

11 and 7.
 
The West is no joke this year so 11-7 is just fantastic for Year One of the rebuild. 
 
Next year, however, I see 14-4 and a GC win.
