For the record, I don't really agree with the way you handled it. I know how his words came across and for the record, I think both forums have their place in our online community and don't think it's necessary to proclaim one as superior to the other. But you really went after him there.

 

Well, in 2013 the mass migration from Our Bombers to here happened because you & others felt you could provide a better service & product than what was offered. You believed this website would be better. I just happen to think it is & you now have the best Bomber website going. I just made a general comment & if I ruffled some feathers I apologize.

It wasn't the comment per se...just that it was gratuitous and uncalled for. I would imagine that all the posters who predominantly post here do so because they prefer it. No need to knock a sister site to point that out.

lol...you're right...we both have a hair across our arse today for some reason and there is no need to carry this on.

Why on Earth does anyone need to compare one site versus another? That leads to either snobishness or depression. This forum is good. Period. Not perfect, but what is? Lets us enjoy what we have and STFU.

For sure...it's not a competition. Both sites are great.

But this one's better...

not sure if it was mentioned cuz there seems to be a few pages of non transaction related bickering but;

WINNIPEG, MB., May 15, 2017 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has signed National receiver Tylor Henry and National defensive lineman Ian Marouf. Both were selected by Winnipeg in the 2017 CFL Draft.

Has Spooner signed yet? I keep seeing blue bomber feeds with him being quoted about how school was important on FB but I don't recall if he was one of the previous draft signings

Spooner, Gray & Menard Briere are the 3 remaining unsigned picks.

So I guess basically just Spooner then. It'll be interesting to see what 2nd round OL get.

Why wouldn't they sign M-B?

Why not Menard-Briere?  He is expected to be in camp as far as I know.

Isn't he going to an NFL camp?

I think its over... ?

Yeah he was at mini camp with the Giants but no contract offer

As someone who frequents the other forum and until recently rarely posted here, I have to agree this one is better in terms of the layout. It feels more up-to-date and actually has colour. LOL

I will say I'm pretty accustomed to the other forum and familiarity isn't a bad thing. Both are pretty good, though.

It'd be nice to see the team lock him up, IMO. OL depth, especially of the NAT variety, can never hurt.

Probably at the other site.  Its better than this one.

lol nah, I think i've only been the the blue bombers forum twice before, but i did see a lot of familiar posters both from here and OB. I read it after doing a google search when noeller mentioned MB might go back to school, only bit of info i seemed to have come across was his CIS stats, bombers drafting him and Giants offer

Mini camp is over and none of the Canadians were offered contracts. 

Even if the plan is just to have him come be an extra leg at camp & then go back to school, he'll have to sign a deal with us.

I meant invite by offer,  like offer to come participate

M-B will sign, be in camp, and barring one of the greatest camps of all time, head back to school after that...

Yes it has.  I'm curious also about his roster bonus he likely collected before he retired too.  Seems retirements are more funny and discussion worthy when they happen elsewhere

They're really only funny and worth more discussion when the team goes on about how the "big name" free agent signed with them and got a nice SIGNING (not the same as a Roster bonus fyi) bonus only to retire before even playing a single game.

I know you want to try to make it seem like the Price and Waggoner situations are similar (maybe to help make you feel better about that horrible off season last year?). But they aren't. Except for the fact that both players played football in the CFL. Waggoner actually played for the bombers. Unlike Mo, who played Jones and the Rider organization.

So again, I know priders are all over Bomber retirements with "I guess it's not funny when it happens to you" and the like. But the Mo price situation is unique in that he never once played for the riders, AND was a bigger name. So while other teams have had oddly timed retirements. Nothing has come close to being as funny as the Price retirement. I hope that helps clear up this insanely easy to understand situation for you.
