I'm curious what the people who are saying they don't care if Murphy is rough around the edges thought of Mike Kelly. And I'd say good riddance to Walters. In a vacuum, it always seems like he's making good moves and improving the team. But at this point I have to admit that nothing he's touched has had any success, right from when he was a Special Teams coordinator of a lousy special teams, to an assistant GM on a terrible team, to a GM of an increasingly terrible team. Where else but with the Bombers could someone follow that kind of career path with the on-field results we've seen? Maybe it's impatience. But it seems like every other team can turn things around a lot faster than the Bombers ever can. And avoid the years of lifeless blowouts too, while the GM with absolutely zero track record fixes things slowly.

And more importantly which Winnipeg Resturant is it ? Yeah, come on we all want this info too...

So you guys think the Bombers would be better off if they fired Miller and/or O'Shea right now? This team has been firing coaches and GMs every 2 years for a while now, and it hasn't worked so far. Maybe it's time to keep one for a while and see if letting the guy get some experience works better. OR, just hire someone with prior experience in the job for once.

Shocking! The only CFL guy that likes to talk more than Brendan Taman is Jim Barker.

I think this is the same thing that happened to the World Juniors in Montreal last year. Prices go up and up every year, and finally there was an event where all the games weren't sold out. It's kind of refreshing to me that there's a point where people will stop buying - it's a little market correction. I think the NFL is even seeing it. And don't try to tell me Winnipeg sports fans are cheap - look at what we happily pay for Jets tickets. And this is anectdotal, but it seems to me that the Bombers are not really all that highly regarded by average people these days. They've finally earned some ill will by being bad so consistently and it wouldn't surprise me if that's reflected in the Grey Cup sales a bit too. Maybe they're going in the right direction now, but the wins haven't really shown that yet.

Me too. It's fun to watch the Riders lose.

Oh man, please put Toth on 1290 instead of one of their current knuckleheads.

Maybe the rational posters to a degree yes.. But there is ample reasons listed as to why this is.. I'll reinerate again tho.. -marve hurt -brohm is more experienced -brohm is more of a pocket passer These are the 3 that stand out to me as why brohm is ahead of marve at this point.. - when Marve was not hurt....Marve was outperforming Brohm. Once again, I'm going to ask the question, when? When has Marve outperformed Brohm? In practice? In preseason? It's comments like this that make me want to lose it on people. Practice and preseason mean almost nothing. Again, I'm not saying Brohm doesn't suck, or that I don't want Marve to play. I want Marve to play, and I hope he succeeds. But we haven't seen anything from him to say he is better then Brohm yet. The rest of your comments I agree with. Last season? BROHM, B 2014 WPG 39 70 55.7 454 54 0 0 1 1.43 69.6 MARVE, R 2014 WPG 11 22 50 140 42 1 4.6 0 85.4 So you're telling me that you can tell by these stats, that Marve outperformed Brohm last season? Really? Looks pretty similar to me, other then Marve running a lot more then Brohm. With this little amount of playing time behind Marve, we can't really judge if he's better then Brohm. Again, I hope he is if he ever gets to play because I'm tired of watching Brohm. But you have no proof yet. Every time I hear people say "WE NEED TO START MARVE, HE'S BETTER THEN BROHM", all I keep hear is the past few years bouncing back..."we need to play Brink, he's better then Buck", "we need to play Elliott, he's better then Brink", "we need to play Goltz, he's better then Buck/Elliott", etc... And when they got to play what did we hear from the same people who were screaming and yelling to have them play? "Get rid of Brink/Elliott/Goltz...he sucks!". And the lesson, as always, is that with the Bombers it always CAN get worse. Sigh.

I think the biggest question is, if Willy gets knocked out of the game at some point will the refs miss an obvious penalty on the play for the 3rd time in a row???

I also thought it was periodically terrible defense, special teams, and backup QB play that caused our losses so far. Go figure. Of course with this being the Bombers we're talking about I half expect Willy to become completely awful just in time for the D and Hajrullahu to figure it out.

I know I clicked on this... but does anyone really care about this anymore? Let's just pin it on the NDPs, use it as another excuse to vote them out, and be done with it.

I thought the tut-tutting and pearl clutching about Swaggerville at the time got out of hand. Since then it's morphed into just another thing for bitter Bomber fans and haters to complain about.

LOL, no dating a minority isn't a mental illness. You're kind of proving my point here spectacularly. You're totally ignorant of Christianity, yet you are throwing out all sorts of ugly accusations based on your own bigoted assumptions.

You seem angry. Would you have your child committed if they had any sort of mental illness? Do people even get "committed" anymore? Come on.

So...anyone who is gay, lesbian, bi, Trans etc has a mental disorder? Pretty much... unless you think the suicide rates are so much higher for people like this because of bullying. Check out the suicided rates of transgenders AFTER they have sex change surgery.

Not quite. Flip it around and you are close.

I think it's terribly sad that the reaction to someone with an obvious mental disorder is to encourage their delusion and even give him major, life-altering cosmetic surgery. Lord help me if I ever suffer from mental illness and instead of treatment I'm just encouraged to cut off my privates. I also find it ridiculous that so many people (and a lot of the media) can simultaneously hate on and ridicule the whole Kardashian/Jenner clan for being attention-whores and completely screwed up in almot every way, while also praising Bruce Jenner as a courageous hero. How can you not make any sort of connection between the two? ... and I'm not trying to take away anyone's rights as far as I know. Nor do I hate anyone involved in the sad, screwed up situation.

I'm not even sure where most of your comments are coming from. Who said it was OK to hate transgender people? I didn't, and no real Christian would either. Also, I'm still not sure where transgenders rights are being trampled on. Surely not by anything I've said or promoted here? You guys are just outraged at the attitudes and actions that you THINK I support.

That doesn't make any sense, but I don't blame you because you're not alone. There's plenty of people largely ignorant of Christianity who love to cast judgement on them based on their very limited personal experiences or (more likely) what they've heard from other biased sources... which I believe is pretty much the definition of bigotry! But we could do this all day. Let's just agree that we both think each other bigoted and leave it at that.

So no one's then? Then I guess my original point stands. Lay off with the pre-emptive accusations of bigotry, hatred, and phobias towards everyone else. It's almost like there's an... intolerance towards Christians here?

Whose rights are being trampled on by people expressing their opinions on Facebook or here?

It's amazing how many times you can call other people prejudiced, bigoted, or "phobic" in relatively short posts. #LoveWins! "If you disagree, its not a difference of opinion, it's you are wrong." LOL, this sums up the attitude of much of the left perfectly.

Interesting fact: the Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner camp asked to receive the award from ESPN, and threatened to not do the big Diane Sawyer interview if they didn't agree to it. That award was just a big commercial for his next reality show. But go on insulting all your friends who disagree with you. #LoveWins right??

Well now that it's out there, I'd be willing to take free tickets and a trip to Edmonton too...

I won't go to a weekday game at 6 because it's too hard to make it on time and have a nice 3 course supper first and be able to watch the entire warm-ups. I won't go to a weekday game that starts anytime after 7:00 because then I get home too late to get my required 8 hours of beauty rest. Nor will I go to ANY game on Saturday between June 1st - September 15th because I am either at the cottage, camping, at Folk Fest, Countryfest, mowing the lawn, or attending the Winnipeg Jets' Stanley Cup Parade. Sunday evening is out because I'm either still at the lake or getting my rest for work the next day. Sunday afternoon might work, until the NFL season starts then that's out too. So it's simple really: all the games should be Sunday afternoon until the NFL season starts. Then take a few (?) weeks off completely and then have all the games Saturday. And also, we're going to need a Stadium in every neighbourhood of the city and maybe one in Brandon and Steinbach, all with the same game being played simultaneously on all of them so no one has to worry about long travel times and traffic getting there. Why can't the dumb CFL get this right??
