17to85 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If we had a good team, respected management, and a great record the scribes would love to be gushing about how awesome we are cause thats easy to write and sells papers. So fix the f-ing team, stop hiring train wrecks to run it, and the media will follow. You know that's not true. Guys like Friesen are just trolls and will always spin things as negative as possible. Mark my words, when the Bombers next win the Grey Cup Friesens article is going to be titled "All Down Hill From Here" NotoriousBIG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm a big fan of Paul Wiecek to be honest. Seems like he'd be a great guy to party with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Wiecek is that he doesn't really give a **** about the CFL. He'd rather be doing his horse racing or curling than covering the Bombers and because of that despite being a pretty good writer his pieces on the Bombers are very lacking in substance.

I think that was true at one point, but not necessarily anymore. I thought he improved a great deal in that regard over the last year or so.

DR. CFL Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Is self admitted downfall or shortfall was the fact that he knew nothing about the CFL. Tough assignment to get especially in Winnipeg with such a dedicated football following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually teased him a bit through Twitter and he since got better. That said, ever since the paper went all pay site and I'm stuck reading it through my iPad I'm far less engaged. Yes, I somehow managed to move on without Doug Spiers' "brilliant" column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I voted no, when a guy like Higgins withdraws his name, you know the game was rigged from the start.....same old BS as always. I used to laugh at the people who thought that until the BOD was cleansed or another oversight body elected that things would never change, it appears they were right all along.

I used to laugh at the people who thought that until the BOD was cleansed or another oversight body elected that things would never change, it appears they were right all along. I don't understand why it's easier to assume Higgins was not hired because it was his decision and not because it was because of something he demanded or lacked. Because it's easier to blame the Bombers org.? blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's easier to blame the Bombers org.? It's easier to assume because GM jobs are highly coveted around the league -- and for a former GM who's challenged for previous GM openings to suddenly pull his name for a job that would likely double or triple his current salary is very odd. Maybe you're right though. Maybe he demanded autonomy to pick his HC and AGM and Wade said no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 More likely that the Bombers had no interest in Higgins, just like every other team in the league. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Maybe he wanted to relocate the Bombers to the moon and Wade wasn't sure the travel costs would be manageable for road games. NotoriousBIG, johnzo and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
