...Lawless says Riders looking at Ottawa Asst GM and John Murphy as potential new GM. Have asked for permission to speak to both. Fwiw.

Will always be a fan of Bagg. So many injuries, so many rehabs, still playing at a high level. That's some grit.

Jones had just said that they would be looking for more Nat. receivers. I guess this follows that thought.

Yup, so many of us thought his career was over after his last injury. So glad he proved us wrong. Guy's a warrior.

How do you feel about this news? I'm kinda meh. Not sure either one of them is going to be good coaching material.

Sure why not...never had a problem with him as a QB on his feet...sees defenses, give him a shot, surprised it didn't happen sooner TBH

An actual former qb coaching qbs. Nothing wrong with that.

I liked his moxy. Not so much his melon.  

 

Sunday schtuff...

-Swayze and Argos are talking.
-Lulay and BC are talking.
-Harris? Mum.
-Matt Nichols is excited to play in Winnipeg...he says so.
I find it somewhat ironic that now that we have a QB...there's QBs to be had.

"Bombers offensive coordinator Paul Lapolice called Weston Dressler within five minutes of him hitting the open market.  Clearly Lapo is ecstatic to work with Weston again" - Rod Pedersen (unconfirmed)
Also unconfirmed..."Chris Jones is sending Chris Getzlaf to an American specialist to get definitive word on his foot injuries before re-signing the veteran receiver to a new deal."
More Pedersen:
"I'm sure Taman is sitting back - wherever he is - wishing he had an avenue to explain how the franchise got to this point.  He's certainly free to speak since he's a free agent.  I look forward to hearing what he has to say.  It just won't be here."
Chris jones -"You always have to rebuild so you're always looking where your players will come from and who's going to back them up?  We're looking at centre, guard and a few receivers.  Also the safety and nose tackle spots.  That's probably where we'll target."

Two outstanding non-watchable events on today. The NFL Pro Bowl and the NHL All-Star game. Flip a coin to see which one to ignore most.

The Senior Bowl is finished for another year. A lot of pro scouts were taking in the action. NFL scouts get first dibs and leftovers are for CFL scouts. No truth to the rumour that 30 people were handing out pieces of watermelon and Saskatchewan brochures/maps.

How do Priders, the ones that now mock and denigrate Taman, sleep at night when he was cheered on nearly every step of the way by these same people ?- media included.

And not until Durant got hurt and the losses start to pile up was it chic to start attacking him.

If Durant never got hurt Taman would still be getting aid and comfort from the types now kicking him when he's down.

Cobourne coached last year and did a great job.

Cobourne hasn't even been confirmed yet. Still rounding out the rest of the staff before making it official?

 

 

So the news about Pierce might not be true either...

You would think Buck would want to stick close to home, as he's in baby-making mode right now.

Hahaha on Lawless...ego punch

Not really - if you read the rest of Cobourne's twitter feed, it's pretty obvious the news is accurate. He's just legitimately wondering how it was leaked. 

He's said this before on Twitter.  John Bowman said good luck in Winnipeg and Avon replied with ' thanks but where did you hear this as it wasn't official'
