As usual, you are here with your troll pot shots at the Riders. Do you ever comment about anything else? Its actually flattering that you are a Tigercat fan and all you ever post about is the Riders. Austin will leave the Cats hanging in a second if something better comes up. I was mad when Austin left but we have a cup to show for the year he was here. That's sports, its about winning. I don't care if Jones leaves in a year or two, we are a better team today than we were yesterday, and that's what matters and that's what's bugging you isn't it? I disagree with your definition of trolling... this is a BOMBER FAN FORUM... "pot shots" at the Riders are not only accepted, they are basically encouraged... if he went over to RiderFans and did this... then sure...

Ok now your just being mean. LOL. No Jim Daley on staff? ??? But I wouldnt mind C.Dickenson or Kilam here too... whoever becomes available. Rumour has Craig joining Dave for the DIckenson connection in Calgary... I would like to see a guy like Mark Kilam on our staff...

I disagree that this was the refs fault... you're right, it was the wrong call... but that's with the hindsight of seeing it in super slo-mo from 12 different camera angles... watch it in real time and tell me that it doesn't look like a textbook facemask...

I believe he officially changed allegiances to Calgary and left this site permanently....

They can have him. The guy is washed up. I disagree with "washed up".... but his best days are definitely behind him... however, because of that, I agree with "they can have him"...

Good point... I can't believe our guys are just sitting on their hands while everyone else is scooping up all the available coaches... I mean, think about all hires the other teams are up to... BC, oh wait they just fired some people... well there's Calgary, oh no wait, they just did a restructuring that was planned for over a year... then definitely Sask, oh wait, they haven't actually hired anyone yet either....

video has been removed by youtube... however I'm sure you can find it on TSN.ca, Sportsnet,ca, NHL.com.... literally any sports site in America...

The story from Craig Reynolds (a fairly reliable source) is he asked Huff if he was interested... Huff said no... end of conversation... there was never an "offer"...

Yeah, we'll get the last domino. If that. Good point... we probably won't even hire a coach...

Even as a non-Browns fan this list is painful to read... especially if you start at 1...

Buono has already announced that he will not be returning to BC...

looks like the steam is really picking up on twitter... Hervey had a comment along the lines of "we're not going to block someone from a good opportunity".... Milt Stegall is speculating O'Shea may be the only returning west coach next year... and Ryan Rishaug said he expects the situation to be settled by the end of the week...

I thought it was Tedford he didn't like?... though he did complain publicly about the contract he was offered...

Good for him... I'm not happy the CFL is losing the best Canadian RB to ever play in the league... but clearly his injuries are taking a toll so I'm happy to see he'll stop playing while he is still in good health...

The difference is accountability... if a beat guy of an NFL team doesn't properly cover the team... he won't be the beat guy for long.... the freep, sun, etc don't seem to care that their sports writers don't do much...

I just jumped over here to see if there was a thread on this... Tedford out, Buono back on the sidelines...

Just reading through some of the blog and I found this nugget... perfectly exemplifies the Winnipeg media... "In fact, Tuesday’s practices at Investor Group Field were open to any and all media members, none of who seemed particularly interested in what either the Rouge Et Noir or Esks were actually practicing. Not even the piped-in crowd noise could distract the assembled typists and videographers from their duties, or more compellingly, how quickly they could cease performing them."

For most of us it's like one of those mid-July days where it's raining... but still sunny for some reason....

For the life of me I don't understand this approach, if they wait for the dust to settle they will be left with table scraps AGAIN. We're not in the market for the same thing (unfortunately)... I'm guessing that one or more of our OC candidates are also HC candidates with Sask so they are unwilling to commit till they've had a chance to, at least, talk to Sask... that being said... if our top OC candidates don't get the Sask HC job I will be very disappointed if our OC is not named ASAP...

Argo's had him in this year. oh.. didn't know that, thanks... I guess that means he's at least still in shape and can still kick... Kickers don't have to be in shape... Punters are people too...

Don't mind the Irish. For me it's the Dutch. There's only two things in this world that I hate... people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch...

Tell me, who matters?People in the Inuit/Eskimo/first nations community... at least not from what I read... I don't pretend to speak for that group.... Just pretend to know who matters vs who doesn't, then? you don't think the people of the Inuit/Eskimo/first nations community matter most on this topic? Ya... The issue was brought up by a member of that community. But according to you, no one that matters has an issue with it. Ok... let me re-state what I was saying to make it unambiguous... I read some articles a while ago (let's say 2013 for argument's sake)... in those articles the members of the affected communities had no issues with the name Eskimos... I believe they were mostly senior people as well... in 2013 the issues was quickly dropped b/c it didn't seem to matter to them... I, admittedly, didn't read this whole article... but it seemed like it was just one guy speaking for the group... perhaps it will have more steam this time around... I probably should have said was in the initial post... does that clarify it my point?

Argo's had him in this year. oh.. didn't know that, thanks... I guess that means he's at least still in shape and can still kick...

Wish I could have been there. I went to last year's in BC but didn't really get a chance to participate much in the festivities. I was at 2011's Cup in Vancouver, that was a blast, and of course it helped that the Bombers were in it, so a lot of Bomber fans were running around the streets and packing the Elephant and Castle. What really makes these things isn't just the events, its the people AT the events. It's truly a day (now several days with all of the events) in the year where Canadians from all over the country (and some Yanks too!) can get together and participate in something truly and uniquely Canadian. Highly recommend people go if they have the chance (and the cash!), and truly sorry I couldn't make it out this year to the event in Winnipeg. Did anyone get a chance to hang out with the Blue Bastard? He's hilarious! Spent most of the day Sunday with him - fan march, then tailgaiting, of course the game, then a brief post game party at the Pemby*.... he's a long time friend of a good friend of mine... he was pretty tame by Sunday, two consecutive days of heavy drinking will do that! *The Pemby apparently has strippers now, it was weird, don't try to be something you're not Pemby, you're a dive sports bar, noyt some hight end drinking establishment with "Dancers" Whaaat??? Where the hell are you from? I don't associate strippers with high end dance clubs, not in Wpg. anyways. They's common folks on and off stage. You're right about that one... but I couldn't think of a better way to describe it... it felt like they were trying too hard to be respectable... I guess I haven't been there in a few years...
