According to Penton, the Bombers are shopping Banks, he received an extension and 50k signing bonus in the off season.

 

 

Bombers have released Korey Banks.

Good riddance. Enough of the spoiled divas who think they're better than the team.

Bye Bye Banks.  We hardly knew you.

So, why didn't they do this 2 weeks ago?

Cory who?

Cut the cord....looking like the ole law of diminishing returns

Bye Bye Banks.  We hardly knew you.

Alas, poor Corey Banks! I knew him, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his  back a thousand times; and now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where are your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roll? 

Must be some bad blood behind the scenes. Bombers were trying to stick it to Banks by not releasing him last week. Banks got some good advice obviously and the bombers weren't going to win the grievance. So banks gets one more game cheque. Can't blame him on that one.

Banks is a tool; I almost want to make a Twitter account to let him know; but **** that would be too much effort put into the selfish little brat; good on him for being a professional

Unfortunate that it turned out this way.

 

Obviously the Bombers feel the best way to proceed is to part ways, and I will support that.

 

We wouldn't be at this moment, if the other players we had couldn't fill the role.

Ahh twitter.... I'm fighting the same urge myself! Damnit Banks....

I'm going to say we dodged a bullett in getting rid of him so early... What a scumbag he turned out to be.

hmmmm, I don't know. Hey, don't get me wrong, never liked the trade, as watching him last year in B.C., usually in a trailing position, showed me he was done. But that being said, as a pro athlete, he didn't ask to be traded that I'm aware of, he may have opened up negotiation who knows but I don't blame him for siging that contract and getting the 60k signing bonus. 

 

From what I saw, he came to camp in shape, and he worked hard. The bombers saw what I saw last year though, he's lost a step. Now, do I blame him for not wanting to back up? I do and I don't. What loyalty does he have here? For all we know, he was told he'd start, and given his contract and signing bonus, why would he believe different. I believe him that he didn't have a lot of contact with the defensive coaches. and I think the Tim Hortons thing is pretty low class, as well as the letting go of Jovon via voice mail (almost as bad and MacT canning Kruger via Skype last summer) so I do agree with Banks' side here. 

 

That being said, I agree of the bombers releasing both him and Jovon, and really that's my only complaint and to me it's minor. I'm sure the bombers had their reasons for doing it the way they did and they don't have to explain themselves, certainly to me anyway. I'm just saying, I see Banks' side to this too, and I don't blame him

Met him at a Tim Hortons!!!  That's so CFL... ha

I'd say releasing him while eating a baconator would be funnier

It's game day, I wouldn't want Korey Banks anywhere near IGF.

 

As to Tim Horton's….what does it matter? He's American..did he want Starbuck's?

Because they didn't want him anywhere near the stadium or team.  Walters showed Banks the level of respect he deserved.

Krispy Kreme

Hopefully they did not buy his coffee.

I hope Walters put a jam buster doughnut on Banks seat before he got there, Banks sat on it, and then Walter started laughing uncontrollably. That would have been a perfect send-off for Banks as a show of appreciation for his time as a Bomber.   

Previous regimes would of given Banks some milk and cookies......

Then made excuses for him...

Just a little tidbit but last night after the game at around 11:30 or so, Korey drive past me down Osborne. He was kinda staring at me (I suppose because I was in my jersey) and then sped off. I wonder how much longer he'll be in town?

I liked the move in the first place cuz he was brought in to be a veteran presence and provide a winning attitude.... clearly he didn't fit the bill... the way Sears is playing, no on will miss him on the field and it doesn't sound like he'll be missed much off the field...

I hope he sign with the Als and we meet him next week.
