First time in 29 years where the off season is a not a time to be bemoaning a missed Grey Cup- how sweet it is.

 

Figured we can park all Blue Bomber going ons for this off-season here in this thread.

 

Starting with this:

 

 

 

Let's get this guy Locked up for the foreseeable future...

Not butthurt at all,  just pointing out a bit of hypocrisy.  And I would appreciate the trolls stopping the attacks on Lapolice,  he just helped us win a cup.

Hypocrisy??? That's rich. The only troll I know for sure that is here is you. And that spin about LaPo doesn't help. Just makes you look even more like a fool.

We should be okay with Mr. Donahue- we do not have any tunnels. Just a few underpasses.

It's not the tunnels or underpasses that might be a problem.... it's the availability of obtaining a DWI

Shouldn't be a problem, either. We have dozens of people doing it every day.

Jeff Hamilton‏ @jeffkhamilton

The Canadian Football League (@CFL): where you can get arrested not once, not twice but for 3 incidents for DUI, including driving the wrong way and crashing into a bus. Welcome to the #Bombers Dylan Donahue, who was also suspended 14 games in '18 for violating substance abuse.

My mistake, arrested twice for two incidents, the most recent in 2018. Point still stands.

I'm not sure I understand Jeff Hamilton's take on this. Is he saying that the CFL should not allow any players who have had legal problems to play? Because that's one of the reasons why some talented players end up here - i.e. Willie Jefferson and many, many others. We've always been kind of a second chance league.

Or, is his take that we should only allow players that have had certain types of legal problems? I think the CFL already does that, at least to an extent. Past DUI's and marijuana charges - seem to not entirely exclude players from trying out, depending on the circumstances. Serious legal issues - assault, murder, etc - I think the CFL bans those players entirely. Example - Ray Rice. I seem to remember the CFL making a statement saying he would never be allowed to play here, which makes total sense.

I also trust that the Bombers are pretty good on doing their due diligence. Walters and O'Shea seem pretty good at choosing character players. You'd have to think that perhaps this player has learned from his transgressions, and perhaps even is dealing with any substance abuse issues. Seems like Hamilton forgets that people are capable of doing that. 

I guess I'm a bit confused by Hamilton's takes on things. And still salty that he was one of the anti Harris for MOP ring leaders.

Slow CFL news cycle... 

We have wife beaters and crack dealers and drunk drivers in our league right now. Can’t take a stance on the new guy until you deal with those. 

Nice vitrue signalling,  Hamilton.

Don't forget a player that regularly tweeted antisemitic comments and was allowed to keep playing.

...for O’Shea, the Bombers head coach, the Grey Cup championship is in the rear-view mirror as he’s now preparing for the 2020 campaign.

“Yeah, it’s back to work,” O’Shea said this week during the CFL’s winter meetings...

“Now it’s time to figure out the 2020 version of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.”

Go Blue.
