We've hit PAGE 55. Does this mean that Westerman is tearing up his contract with Montreal and signing with the Bombers.

Are you sure it's not the 13th?

You have friends?

How someone could be upset or annoyed by Muamba taking his time and doing what's best for him is beyond me. It's really not something worth expending any energy over.

This angst over and scorn of Muamba is ridiculous. Fans going on about a "tour" and "we need to focus", blah, blah blah. He's not out holding press conferences, all flashy, talking about having teams compete. He's an FA, who likely has multiple offers and is discussing them with his people and family. If the Bombers needed a decision right away, they would have said so and put a timeline on the offer. And, maybe they did. Stop pretending like having him sign on March 9th is any different from having him sign on April 9th.

I was under the impression that Helle was stopping easy pot shots from 100 feet away all night?

Helle franchise record for wins in a season 35 Hall's point streak ends, Chiarot's continues.

Well sports fans it looks like the Jets are for real. I've never seen a player like Laine before. He's not dominant at any point in the game but all it takes is a fraction of a second with the puck on his stick and it's going in the net. Ehlers is the opposite. Definitely our flashiest player. The way he can skate through opposing players and find the net or an open teammate is incredible. Not to mention one of the top 3 goalies in the league this year and a defence corps that is solid from 1-8. We are watching something special unfold. I am sure of it now.

So if Jets play Dallas and beat them in the first round, and Nashville beats a WC team, the Jets play Nashville in Round 2, correct?

Nic Petan had better stats with the Winterhawks... I'm not excited about his size.

wasn't the guy's name Robin Leach?

ultimate swerve......"IT'S WESTERMAN! HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! MAH GAHD!"

then why post it?

No one has to cut anyone at this time of year to sign another player*, and in May everyone will have to cut about 35 players because of signing more than 46. And all 9 teams will have to balance talent, ratio and salary when selecting those 35 casualties, just like every other year. So your question doesn't really work - any signing will result in a player getting cut once we're beyond 46**. *unless they somehow were silly enough to exceed the offseason roster max in March. ** + IR, +6g IR, + PR, + + + since it's the CFL afterall. Edit - Obviously I realize a logical explanation is pointless considering TBurg is simply being argumentative, but I figured what the hey, it's Friday. And even though everything I put in the above statement is not opinion, but FACTUAL, he will likely choose to argue it anyways. And he can find someone else to participate in this silliness with, because I don't care.

12th annual celebration of the self-proclamation of being "Canada's Team."

Irony much?

Did you see Muamba when he was in town? Did he do any interviews? What "show" are you referring to?

What's the same old? It's the same thing every FA does. Looks around, gets offer(s), signs or doesn't. Are you upset he's an FA? Nothing he did wrong.

I believe it is 8 http://www.playoffstatus.com/nhl/jetswhatif.html

People can say what they want about Hendricks but guy is a warrior and extremely enthusiastic and its pretty obvious he means a lot to his teammates. Guy has played his role well. With that said, once @ALowsyplayer is back... Hendricks can sit.

Id assume they have made Muamba an offer already and the ball is in Henocs hands now.

They can't focus on two priorities at once...?

I like Minnesota as a first round match. Not only because I LIKE the Wild, but *fingers crossed* we win, its less travel on the players. More rest. Plenty of Jets fans going down to Twin Cities. Should be a lot of fun and create a great rivalry.

I've always appreciated your posts on this site. But that one, makes you seem like a little punk ass *****.

Think its down to 7?

"Mason wasn't tested. 25 shots came from the point." Present your evidence to substantiate your claims. Or just accept the fact you're wrong and give it a rest.

Perhaps ask Bluto what he wrote at the bottom of his post using the white font.

he whined to the refs way too much...used to drive Friar Nicolson nuts.

Now... That is an example of a goalie winning you the game. Helle was the man

Qft.... You'd fit in over in the Jets and TV threads......

Lol just stop before you dig yourself deeper in that hole.

Yeah, it's important he sign today or he won't make training camp in two months.

Always forget how the format works. If it was truly the best two teams in the conference final it would be Winnipeg vs Nashville in round three.

Talking about being dumb and not understanding... when I type "Are you saying", I am asking for clarification. Jones mistake was paying out 1 off season bonus before cutting Muamba. Other than that, he didn't do anything that other GM's don't do. If you didn't dislike him, you would treat him the same as the rest of the GM's. Again... If we need to cut someone to be able to afford Muamba, we will be doing the same thing. FTR: We've already signed 2 players (Durant and Bowman) who were cut by their teams (Not Jones) for SMS reasons when they were owed bonuses. Muamba would be the 3rd and we'd end up cutting a player who has already received his off season bonus.

Nope, that isn't what I'm saying. My initial comment you quoted and clearly misinterpreted was more in regard to Jones' inability to manage his roster both from a balance and financial standpoint. Hint: if you're going to quote someone and then ask a dumb question, ask for clarification instead and avoid being confused.

certain forms of humor seem to elude you.

...too many wrist slaps....we must all play nice with our dear friend iHeart....

He hosted "Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous" back in the 80's. Gave us our first chance to see what a useless human being Trump was.

If we sign Muamba and have to cut someone else to do it, will you have the same complaint about Walters? (Asking for a friend)

Definitely plan on being at the Bombers tailgate. Jets play Anaheim that night and that'll be a good warm up before the game!

See what? What on earth are you seeing? That's what I don't understand this ridiculous expectation that the moment Muamba became an FA, that he needs to sign somewhere. In the OFFSEASON!! The only people that are annoyed, are people who don't factor into his decision.

Am I wrong but I think Chris Jones did Muamba some dirty by releasing Muamba now when most teams would have to juggle salaries to fit him in. I don't think Muamba deserves this "Tour" crap. He didn't ask for this. Further more choosing between a couple of teams is not a "Tour". When you take a job seriously you meet the management that you would interact with. I didn't watch Muamba's work the last couple of years. I remember him as being kind of good for the Bombers in the beginning of his career. I am looking forward to seeing Muamba back in blue but I am not so much of a fan as to expect an athlete to not try and find the best situation in a very short work life.
