Friesen was inducted into the media section of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. He apparently asked no other than Mike (handled internally) Kelly to induct him. There is a video of Mike Kelly's induction speech. Probably not worth the minutes of commercials The Sun will make you watch to see it, but it is the off season. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/video-mike-kelly-introduces-paul-friesen-into-hall-of-fame-2025 In one of Kelly's job interviews after the Bombers, they looked him up online and apparently asked him who Friesen was, as a bunch of his articles came up. Kelly said his response was "someone who did their job better than I did."

I'm much smarter if the wife ain't around.

How is it apparent? Until an official announcement comes down the pike, nothing has changed.

Oh, damn- one less mediocre restauant to not patronize. My absolute favourite breakfast place is The Original Pancake House. The giant apple pancake is a good excuse to sleep the rest of the morning, but my 16 year old son ate TWO of them in a single sitting on a dare. We didn't see him again until well after lunch.

Illegal in 9 countries with bits of real panther...so you know it's good

Then quite frankly they should. There'd be hardly an CFL news, without that site.

This is Mike O'Shea we're talking about. How many times in the past did he give a big F U to fans & media because he was stubborn? Until it actually happens, nothiung has changed.

I don't understand the "hate" for people going South for winter and how it is related to domestic flights being expensive. I don't believe airlines are subsidizing flights to Mexico by charging more to folks wanting to travel back and forth from Calgary? The only hate should be Air Canada taking billions from our Gov't and yet still outsourcing most of the jobs and charging customers top dollar for mediocre services. Me thinks you are in a time warp and think that it is the 80's where a family could travel via car for an affordable rate while only the rich and upper class can fly to Mexico. These days it's the opposite, our family road trips that we take are extremely expensive in comparison for the value that we have when we fly to Mexico. I've encountered several people in my life who didn't understand going South for winter.... until they went one time and then realized how great it is and after going once couldn't wait until they could go back again. Many of them regretted waiting so many years until going. Leaving Winnipeg in -30 weather and arriving somewhere tropical and getting that blast of hot +25 humid air as you leave the plane is sublime.

I'm sure a bantam or pee wee team could use him. There's a lot of Dad coaches he can learn from.

He's always been like that. Stories of him being a shithead in Calgary over a decade. Hufnagel finally got rid of him.

I think if anyone can afford to go on a holiday to a sunny resort anywhere then they should pay for the privelidge. We, the poor Canadians who stay home in the winter, if we want to fly in order to see family in Canada, we pay for it big time. I've never travelled anywhere in the winter. We travel in the summer. Prefer to drive over flying. In 2 years when my wife retires, we're planning a road trip to Halifax. We have family & friends in New Brunswick & Ontario. I've never beem east of Toronto. You're late!! It's mine.

Inflation has hit the States big time over the last few years. It was really expensive for us travelling in Spring where food and lodging was pricier then in Canada.

Not silly at all, I would think it will certainly make the transition easier for imp rookies. They aren’t the biggest differences, but they are odd for americans. I wonder how big the transition will be for established guys though. No joke. Ufl Ds really struggle not having the cohesion of units that have been together for a time. A lot of the good D in the spring leagues looks like that. Tbh it starts out like that here, but our season is long and we have enough hold overs to get past it. The spring leagues never reach that point imo. Farhan now reporting he’d be shocked if hogan was back as oc for us next year. Day keeps getting better.

If I'm looking thru my wife's eyes I'm assuming she sees this when looking at me:

In this video for the last TD.... can the Blue sign the receiver Malik Turner? That juke and speed was real nice! Perkins in that TD run it was hilarious on how bad those defenders froze and watched him... if that is a representation of the talent in the UFL then yikes.

Source? I have not seen it anywhere that he was given a 2 year deal.

Bombers sign UFL MVP QB Bryce Perkins...

Well except for me.

You know there isn't a single person on this board, amateur or "expert" that hasn't been wrong about things multiple times, right?

Why would Corey Mace leave the Riders to go to that dumpster fire in Toronto? It's idiotic for them even to ask yet they did. What an embarrassing phone call that must have been for Pinball...."Please come back. Pleeeeze!!!" Mace would have to be crazy to leave what he has in Regina. The problem seems to be two or 3 fold. One, is being on the road virtually all season next year & just 6 home games. Then there's the lack of committment to make the team better by MLSE. Then having Pinball & Murphy there & having to answer to them. If MLSE was serious, they'd fire or reassign Pinball & Murphy. Let someone else come in & have total control of football operations. Murphy is a ****** & seems that a lot of CFL people don't like him which is why he isn't a CFL GM by now. Murphy had a fistfight with Hamilton fans a few years back & was indefinitely suspended. Then after Murphy returned to the Argos, he dismissed the sexual harrassment by Kelly. Murphy even blamed the woman involved for making it all public & "opening up a can of worms" for Kelly & the Argos. Pinball knew about the sxexual harrassment as well & did nothing. Both should have been fired. Pinball & Murphy's involvement in the day to day operations is really interfering in the hiring of a new GM/HC. To the point the Argos will hire someone so low on the totem pole that he will grind the Argos into the ground.

You need to go watch the 4th Q again. Wilson didn't play like garbage. 2 of his 4 passes were flat out dropped. 1 was called PI. The bombers were very much in that game when he came in and the coaching staff (buck) decided to put it all on his arm instead of give the ball to Brady...even one time.... Acting like there can be no debate is ridiculous. The game got out of hand BECAUSE OF COLLAROS. Now there's something that can not be debated because it actually happened that way.

Would love to see Justin Hardy here. Dude is a legit #1, makes plays all over the field, has had three straight 1000 yard years. His 2023 season had Terrance Edwards energy ... he hit 1k with rookie Dustin Crum, bad Nick Arbuckle, brokedown Jeremiah Masoli and Tyree Adams as his QBs.

I think the backup QB issue usage has been beaten to death in other threads, and us flapping our gums will have zero effect on O'Shea.

This week on MBB, Posters battle over who hates the Riders the most.

Nic Demski. And fans like that need to get over themselves.

This is what I was waiting for... So who's the best option? Condell? Jackson?

Mike Oshea is a better coach and has forgotten more about football than any of us on this forum. I can't believe the huberus some people have here to think they are smarter than a coach who is going to go down as one of the greatest Bomber coaches ever. We sit and bang our gums, but not a single of us knows the whole picture and are privy to all the info. What we consider a terrible decision sometimes is actually the right move because the coach actually has all the info that we will never be privy too. It seems remarkably stupid to me that we sit around and pretend we know the inner workings of the club better than our HC. Wilson completed zero passes. ZERO. Don't care why. Doesn't matter. Didn't complete a ball. Every QB who plays like **** can point to a receiver dropping a ball or how close the pass was to being complete. Zero completions is zero completions. He couldn't get it done and it is wholly unrealistic for anyone to believe he could have, or JD for that matter. The Argo defence was eating our QBs for breakfast.

The lengths some people will go to here to criticize our coach. Dolegala and Wilson are crap QBs. I am glad we let go of Dolegala last year and I am pretty sure Wilson is going to meet the same fate. But yea....they would have come from behind and beaten the Argos defence. SMH. We can debate till the cows come home whether ZC should have gone back out, what is not debatable is the notion that any other of our rostered QBs would have led us to victory. ZERO CHANCE. The only players that could have won that game for us were on the D and STs. Perhaps BO going beast mode....those were our only chance at victory. Who we played at QB was irrelevant once ZC was injured. I mean honest to god, I don't know how anyone who watches football could think that JD was remotely capable of winning that game for us? Some people see what they wanna see so that they can complain I guess?

Terry Wilson did play and stunk it up.
