Sorry but I don't like the total silence coming out of Bomberville, but that's just me; I like action and news  like all of you.  Yes we've extended a contract or two and we are distributing the year-end money before the 2018 salary cap  comes in.

But what are the deep thinkers in our organization planning to do?

 I hope they are not thinking status quo; that never seems to work out well. Unless we are dedicated to making sharp improvements here and there, I believe we atrophy from last year.  

After the 2017 NFL cuts were made did we bring in any linebackers for a sniff? I saw other prospects up here but maybe I missed something.

We have got to fix what's broken and I think somehow management must know more than we do ... we are good prognosticators with our comments on this site but I would like management to show us up. 

We are not hearing a lot of news out of the Calgary and Edmonton football clubs so maybe our Blue Bombers are an elite club now (as we join those two in their silence). 

But man I hate twiddling my thumbs as I wait to see what our local gurus are going to do. No news is bad news, say the bored ...  Well at least were not coming off seasons like Ottawa Hamilton and Montréal had.

So maybe I should be grateful for our club and its management.

Two weeks ago you were going to set up a kickstarter and advocating for us taking a cap penalty to make sure we got him.  Now he's not worth buying dinner for?

My most recent post, what I mean, moreso, is: The Trinity aren't normally ones to go to the ends of the world for someone. Note Walters panted "Take it or leave it" offers......that's generally what they're about. I'm not saying Muamba isn't good...I'm saying "I'm surprised to see the current Bombers regime participating in a circus..."

I don't imagine there is much more than a bit of negotiating. They'll let Muamba have his little self-important vanity tour but they'll only sign him if the money makes sense.

Two teams are interested in him and are trying to woo him. Is it really a circus, though?

If Walters panted an offer to me it would be hard to turn down.

Is there any confirmation that Ottawa is not competing for Muamba?

It's been confirmed

Henoc, come on down!

Surprised he has to tour through the Alouettes facilities.  Have the facilities changed that much in the last 24 months?

I cant believe ott wouldnt be interested. Id bet its a 3 way race. He may be saying two to try and leverage one to step up. 

O'Shea doesn't sound overly eager to play JSK in the middle.

I suspect there is more talking, wining and dining than touring facilities going on.

And he should know. Monreal's facilities have changed very little since Muamba was there last, and there will be no playoff dollars there, either. On the other hand, Montreal's night life and women are second to none.

Every time he sees JSK, it probably just brings back the hurtful memory of Hurl turning back to Osh, one last smile - a knowing nod, before setting off, pack in hand, for the lonely Saskatchewan border...

And as a devout Christian, that no doubt has huge appeal....

One year in Regina has probably made him stop believing in god.

Christians have been known to have "indulgences"- ask Jimmy Bakker, Donald Trump, Rex Humbug, etc etc. Its easier to get forgiveness than permission.

Coming from a feisty attitude, 'If I have to woo someone to play here, get the f@@k out.  We take care of people who want to be part of this great organization not spend our time and energy on convincing you. Go somewhere else if you feel that self important'.     

If he were just interested in the biggest paycheque, there would be no tour.

The fact that he wants to see and learn about a team/organization before signing tells me he actually thinks.

Now, if he signs for Montreal, I reserve the right to modify my statement.

The Bomber organization is very different now from when he left.

yeah he wants to maximize his dollars for sure...and if he is actually going to places to see the organization..direction..philosophies..services etc..etc..then good on him...but if it just to in effect try and use it as a ploy to squeeze each team then no need for the guy.

He has to remember this is the CFL and is a league more or less restricted to what they do...for the better of the league and  a top shelf deal is pretty much on par across the board unless one team does something absurd...which will make them a weaker team most times with shaving elsewhere...so crap or get off the pot already

He has been to all stadiums in the league..knows the facilities and any fool can see which way the organizations he is considering are trending..and how they are viewed in the league

Did Henoc play here when O'sh was HC?

It seems to me he was here for the first year of this regime....but that could be verified.  Let me know.

Henoc left after 2013 and O'Shea was hired in 2014.  So no overlap.
