Jimmy Pop Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 TJ Thorpe is no Jim Thorpe. I don't get what all the fuss is about. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCoreBlue Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm wondering if management, coaches and/or players have tried to entice him to come back with the latest development of injury or has that shipped sailed once he asked for his release?

Pete Catan's Ghost Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Toth asked Tait on 1290 this AM, whether Thorpe had contacted the team about a return. Ed's response - "If he did call, I'm sure it was to Walters and not Osh". They both agreed that coach would not be quick to welcome Thorpe back.

If they're smart they will. He played very well for us and should never have been left on the PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, we've known for some time now that the very best players don't necessarily get to play on this team. Some people just don't get along. O'Shea and Thorpe may be two. Like Harris and Buono. You win some, you lose some. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, but I was thinking that Calgary would sign him. That batch of receivers they fielded against the Riders were totally underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty30 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Not good for the Bombers. Hate him or not. We need the receivers more then any of the other teams in the West. Losing too many guys to injuries and not enough quality guys to replace them with. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue204 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Gotta wonder what's up. He leaves the Blue apparently due to not enough playing time, and ends up on the Riders who have a stronger Rec group. I don't see how he cracks that lineup without injuries.

He's been unemployed for a month. The PR spot in Regina was probably his only option. TBURGESS and SPuDS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he's realized that opportunities are not as abundant as he thought and he's had to humble himself. Which if he'd done in the first place would have worked out better. That's the way it goes though. Sometimes guys have to make that mistake to learn about life.

Bob the Bomber Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Pulling a Thorpe Definition: Walking away from an opportunity as a result of ones heightened self-belief in their abilities; only to realize you are worth nothing more than Rider-fodder.

Dr. Blue Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Yeah but going to the Riders ensures that he will just be moved to the 6 game IR and collect a full paycheck...

Bigblue204 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I also don't like that he likely has a pretty good take on the bombers playbook....Jones is a dirty **** and I wouldn't put it past him to sign this guy for that reason alone.
