Well that loss stung last night. Not happy with the decision to kick the FG but that can be discussed elsewhere  All in all there was a lot of improvement this year over last year and looking like they are trending upwards. If Walters can pull off another great draft and some more key FAs this offseason I like our chances going into 2017. Who is on the FA watch list and what areas are we in desperate need of fixing?

Maccioccia has a tenured position at U of Montreal. Too give that up to be the Montreal Als President is very risky. He's smart to stay where he is.

It's the being fat that was unintentional

ehhhhhhh......I was cognizant....

Some explanation as to why Macciocia told the Als to go f*** themselves:

 

@DidierRDS

The Alouettes offered the position of president to Danny Maciocia but they would not have let him pick the new GM. @CFL

What a complete clown-show in Montreal.  Just ridiculous.

That is so ****** up. No one in their right mind is going to a take a job where you don't actually get to do your job.

Steinauer or Thorpe could be a candidate here.

I highly doubt you remember this, but it was actually YOU who introduced me to ourbombers from the ebrandon forum.. I was only 14  or 15 years old then...

 

...24 now ...still kicking the can on the bomber die hard sites. I remember you specifically warning me that if you didn't know what you were talking about, you would get eaten alive on our bombers. Man, did I ever ..

 

and then I become a moderator  somehow

I think Thorpe may still be under contract in Montreal for one more year. Last year when he tried to bolt to Edmonton, it was said that he had two more years left on his contract with Montreal. That would mean 2016 & 2017, unless the new coach decides they want a different DC and release him.

I would bet on it. Its the Glieberguys all over again reducing a once proud franchise to a running joke. Dennis Rodman will probably be announced as head of scouting.

This made me chuckle....also f*** soccer......

I know he is short but I thought he would be able to climb out of one of the divots if he fell in.

This doesn't seem like a legit "release"... I would guess either he's not actually released and if he gets a contract offer then he gets "officially" released... or if he does not get a contract by the agreed date they already have a hand-shake agreement that he'll sign back on for 2 years...

It's apparently in his contract that he can try out for NFL teams between now and Jan 27. If he makes it, he's released. If not, his contract continues with BC. http://theprovince.com/sports/football/cfl/bc-lions/adam-bighill-chasing-nfl-work-but-has-to-sign-by-jan-27-or-returns-to-b-c-lions

ahh yes, that makes sense... that essentially what I was suggesting in the bolded part above...

The only scout position I would consider Mack for would be as a standin for Tonto's horse.

what you don't think Mack brought in a pile of american talent for this team? He did that aspect of the job better than Walters has. 

Mack as an American scout is alright just don't let him in the draft room.

The 2013 Blue Bombers were really brimming with talent...
