[Bellefeuille to Montreal?]

I don't speak French, but apparently, Stubler is now also in the mix.  If I'm reading the opening paragraph correctly, he's 90.

Haha not even close! It says that Stubler was Kavis Reed's DC when he was a player in the mid 90s 

[CFL Expansion]

If the CFL was looking to expand quickly, I would think that Quebec City is more CFL-ready than Halifax. Larger population, rabid fan base for their CIS team and they could potentially expand their current CIS stadium similar to McGill in Montreal.

[Do we change our play calling]

The only play I want to see changed (and never see again) is the delayed handoff on second and long. Brutal and classic Lapo!

[Bombers "close to" deal with Dressler]

From a marketing and ticket sales standpoint, the prospect of promoting a new offence featuring Drew Willy, Andrew Harris and Weston Dressler coached by Paul LaPolice would be a huge coup. It would make people forget about the Marcel Bellefeuille era pretty quickly. 

[Mike O'Shea on #QandView]

Let's face it, the only time the media want to talk to a coordinator is when things are going badly. Given this, I don't see the point of giving the media access to them as O'Shea is ultimately accountable for the whole team anyway.

[Willy Contract Negotiations]

A fair offer in my opinion would be 350K plus incentives that could bump it to 400K depending on performance.

[Bombers Annual Locker Room Sale]

Just came back from this - all the Reebok Merch is 40% from the displayed price.  It officially starts at 4pm but I got the deal anyway.  There will also be some sort of jersey blowout happening closer to 4pm.  Much better than the Black Friday "Sale"!!

[Chiefs release Weston Dressler(Updated: Now signed by Riders)]

The difference here may have been that Desjardins insisted on a deal that went beyond this season.

[Our new jersey]

Funny that the Bombers themselves haven't tweeted out a pic. Just answered a couple questions about them. One of which the answer to was "we will be wearing them one time".

 

This makes me wonder how the folks at the top really feel about the jersey.  It almost seems like they hate them but are making the most of it.  Pure speculation but I wonder whether the departure of Jeffrey had anything to do with this.

[Which Coach gets an early paid Vacation?]

It might be time to revisit this topic now that we're through 5 games. On the hot seat but has enough cred to not yet be in danger:

- Austin

- Benevides

- Milanovich

In imminent danger:

- Burke as DC in Toronto (I think this will be the first firing)

- Higgins (although firing him will likely make the team even worse with Popp at the helm)

[Lawless: Trade Glenn January for Canadians]

His point would have come across much better if he substituted Glenn January with Bryant Turner.

[GDT: Toronto @ Winnipeg]

Very excited!

 

My prediction is whatever the outcome, if it rains the Winnipeg Sun's headline will read "Wet Willy".

[[Merged] 2014 Predictions / Standing Forecast]

For me the biggest question marks in BC aren't at QB, but are at OC and DC.  Going from Chapdelaine and Stubler to Khari Jones and Mark Washington might have a huge impact on the success of the team.
