  1. Fan anger? from who? 20 people on a message board? i mean, i like this place, it's cool but if you think they are doing damage control cuz 20 people on a fan forum are complaining, c'mon man. It was on twitter for like a minute or so, i doubt hundreds of people called in and told them to shove it in a minute.
  2. TL; DR version - The Bombers have their reasons, they have done nothing wrong, now shut up and wait until the Bombers say it's okay to cheer. Not at all actually, just explaining what seems to be a pretty simple reason for a tweet and then a deleted tweet. someone effed up, who knows who it was, the fact that it was deleted so quickly suggests that the person running the twitter effed up.
  3. Just for the record, i'm not defending the bombers at all, I'm just saying it seems likely that the person running the twitter effed up and someone in the organization noticed it and told them to delete it immediately. It seems way more likely than TC being closed to the public.
  4. Maybe not a typo but a mistake, quite simply put the twitter person might have made a simple mistake. Maybe the twitter person has no idea what they are talking about even, i mean really. It's not uncommon i don't think for Twitter people to speak out of line, didn't somebody from a NBA team get fired because they posted something they shouldn't have? This isn't a fire worthy offense here tho, it's just a mistake it seems. As for fan experience at training camp, not sure what people expect to be honest. It's training camp, i mean, let's be real here, they have held it at rods field before, airplanes flying over head, not much for seating, they have held parts of TC or rookie camp in Brandon, not much fan seating there, you have people suggesting they hold it at st johns ravenscourt field, or heck ill suggest Kildonan East Collegiate, they got a nice field and a few bleachers. What do you expect? For them to stop practice and come over and shake hands of the 50 to 100 fans and media in attendance? It won't happen and it never will. This isn't about the fans even, it's about evaluating players, peoples jobs are on the line here. Like i've said, i appreciate those who go and that but really, you are there to watch guys try to compete for jobs, it's their asses on the line, not ours. You want to go and watch? I'm sure you will be able too, if if you expect to be treated like your some kind of king or queen because you are going to watch training camp, man, c'mon. I believe a couple weeks back the bombers held their annual fan experience day at IGF... what more do you want really... get to meet the players and coaches and all that stuff, it must have been recent cuz i remember seeing all the pics on twitter. People need to remember that TC and this stuff, peoples jobs are on the line, is it cool for fans to come watch? for sure but if you expect them to roll out the red carpet for you to come watch, it won't happen and never will.
  5. 8 years 50 million. Leafs it is. Wow. First 3 years =8 million per
  6. Believe I read his mother is Canadian so there you go. Apparently if one of your parents is Canadian you can become one too. Not exactly that simple tho. Like if my mom or dad were American I could apply to become an American citizen. Whats his name. President candidate but born in Calgary. Ted Cruz? Denounced his Canadian citizenship and is now full on American eventho I believe he was born in Calgary
  7. Derek Jones in there at cb too. If Jones and Morgan look legit Bucknor and his salary may be moved out
  8. Here's where you now move an oline for a 2016 1st
  9. I dunno. Think they are gonna rebuild. And I think it will be a while. Gotta wait to see how long he signs for to confirm if it's a real rebuild or just a retool
  10. You know who just lost his job for sure? Dan west cuz Newman and Morgan can play safety too. Teague Sherman also in danger
  11. Morgan I think is more safety and cb depth.
  12. Think I read WIL
  13. Gonna be a long road ahead for the leafs. That team sucks.
  14. They know lots more than we all do. #fact
  15. Who knows about the 2016 draft prospects?
  16. How do you go hard after someone in a supplemental draft? Offer a 2nd or 1st rounder?
  17. It is possible that the bomber twitter person was wrong tho and the tweet being deleted sort of suggests that the person running the twitter perhaps didn't have all the info. I'll be honest I might go once but work and stuff gets In the way. I consider myself a huge fan but no way would I take vacation time to watch training camp. Appreciate those who do but I think those who do are in the minority. Perhaps vocal minority but still.... if I had a day off or got off early or something yup I'd go. If not, then oh well cuz after all its just training camp to me. I appreciate those who go and share their thoughts but it's just their thoughts really. None of us really know what they truly are looking for in a player. We might think we do but we don't. But I do appreciate those who go and give their 2 cents but in the big picture a random fans thoughts mean very little.
  18. Toronto seems likely. Why? Who knows. Maybe he's tired of making the playoffs or he's gonna be coach and GM.
  19. I think reality is buff gets moved but I also think reality says the jets and oilers don't make good trade partners. I'm thinking Columbus who is dangling Kerby Rychel and possibly their first round pick for a d man is more likely. I don't see the jets trading buff for a player with big salary. It makes no sense really. I think if they trade buff it will be for a prospect who can play now like a Rychel plus a first and that's more than fair value even if buff Is a 1 year rental. This last trade deadline proved that rental d men get a 1st and prospect. Here's my proposal. Buff Burmi to Columbus for Rychel Calvert and their first.
  20. Ladd little Perreault Stafford Scheif Wheeler Ehlers Lowry ??/ARmia/Petan/STemp Stempniak/Petan/Lemieux/Lipon Copp Thorbs Toby Myers Trouba Stuart ?? Morrissey/Chiarot I think they trade buff this off season. Ehlers on the 4th won't happen. What a waste really.
  21. So TC isn't at IGF. It's 50 feet away from IGF. Unless I'm missing something and it's closed to the public, what's the big deal? Bring a lawn chair. Chill. It should be all good no? Is it closed to the public? If it is I get the complaining. If not I really don't.
  22. Sekera got a first and prospect. Yandle has 1 year left but got first high end prospect and other.
  23. Rogers is just evil. Anti Canadian really. They are taking lots of heat for this.
  24. Boo soccer but lots of people like it
  25. 50 to 100 people max will check out bombers training camp. Maybe a bigger crowd on day 1 but generally maybe there are 50 people there not including day 1. Most are media. Fact is the soccer out draws a bomber training camp.
