Good for Ambrosie.  A Winnipegermakes it to Commissioner, should be good for boatloads of conspiracy theories on riderfans.

I like the fact he is a former player who understands the game & is a successful businessman running companies from the boardrooms. Unlike the guy he takes over from. Orridge always looked like  guy who would rather be at a wine & cheese party than a football game.

sounds like that's a good resume for a team CEO also 

The only relevant question is, does Braley like the guy? Cause if he doesn't then he'll be short lived.

The pic I saw of him he kinda looks like Vincent Kennedy McMahon. I'd love it if he said to Glenn Johnson, "YOU"RE FIIRRRRRED!!!!!"

Pfft. Braley. The guy has grinded 3 franchises into the ground. Hamilton, Toronto & BC.

I see he also worked for the PA.  So that's likely a positive.  A former player, former PA employee.  Hopefully it works out. 

But will this cause the refs to stop screwing the Bombers now that there is a Winnipegger in the head office?

I seem to recall not that long ago when you were defending the guy on the messageboards. People were bitching about him (rightfully so) and you were beating the drum for "If not for him and his money, we wouldn't have a league!! We should be thanking him!!"  Kinda changed your tune a bit, eh?

Yes, 180 degree turn. He may have saved the Argos but then he refused to spend any money on the team & cut the budget which means marketing was non existent. Doing the same thing in BC. He & Skulsky needs to permanently go for the good of the Lions,

He is trying to sell the Lions, right?... maybe Ambroise will help facilitate that sale ASAP
