That was just his CBA signing bonus

So you figure Montreal has access to secret training methods that the Bombers can't access?

Huh...I don't understand. You mean Willy isn't going to throw at least 4 TDs and 300 yards every game?

Wow...did the Bombers ever dodge a bullet by losing out on Colaros. Could have set us back several years. We love Willy!!!

That's why the Bombers want Banks as his backup but Banks won't accept that role. So much for his "leadership", he's just another selfish athlete. Good riddance Korey Banks.

I'm just glad Willy didn't make it too free agency. Montreal could have gone after him.

Not every move is going to be a homerun. Cut your losses and move on...

A few thoughts on the Banks situation:
- Looks like Wally may have been right in that Banks has lost a step
- I recall a week or so into training camp, O'Shea said Banks took a "vet day" off and you could tell in O'Shea's presser that he wasn't impressed
- Seems like Banks is more of a Jovon Johnson type 'leader'...a bit of a loudmouth punk
- Banks helped recruit Nick Moore and Chris Randle, so if the cost of that was $50,000 and Kito, I'm okay with that.
- Bombers ate $35k when they cut Hefney
- The way the roster stands now, I don't see where Banks fits in; its a good thing that it appears the scouting department did a better job than expected

Grigsby played well, but Cotton could have probably ran for 200 yards tonight.

Agreed 100%. We are very fortunate with how things worked out.

Please post the icing girl.  I want to weird people in the office out instead of working this afternoon...

Thanks a lot Joe Mack!!!

Pretty sure we could move one of our 6 MLBs somewhere to make it happen.

And the remaining 48 will be the entire Argos roster.

I'm surprised no one has had a "talk" with Burke yet to explain how stupid he looks by constantly throwing his players under the bus and blaming everyone but himself. He takes zero responsibility. He just doesn't get it.
He's never getting another head coaching opportunity. Book it.

Is that Paul Friesen's personal site?

I hope we pass.

I watched an interview with Wade Miller today and he explained a few initiatives the Bombers have done to improve fan experience and traffic outflow after games:
- Allow fans on the field after games to get autographs etc
- Serve alcohol in the north end zone an hour after games. Includes an enhanced designated driver program (free pop all game for DDs). Park and Ride busses will still be available.
- Free appetizers in the Pinnacle club an hour after the game, for premium seat owners.
- 10 minute post game show with Kim Babij on the video boards followed by a DJ playing music an hour after the game.
- New Sky Bars on each end of the 200 level. Concrete has been removed from these ends of the 200 level so that fans can watch the game on the video boards while drinking/socializing. This should decrease traffic on the lower level concourse.
- Wade said there will be a Rum Hut 2.0 but didn't say where it'll be.
- More loge seating
- 5 new charging stations for smartphones
All seem like good ideas!

Penton is pretty connected. I consider him very credible.
