Trade a near rookie for an establish veteran? I would expect that you'll be wanting a couple of draft picks and a starting Canadian too?

so... in 61 seconds?

Trestman has another year of salary coming from Toronto ad he's been through a hellish year. It's not unreasonable to think that he might not want to coach this coming year, or ever, at least as a HC

"The game's out there"

I guess we can add oblivious to the list too.

A lot of us continue to ask the same thing...

But remember, 10% of a salary of say 500k is a little easier to absorb than a hit of 10% to someone making 50k. Now if he had taken a 20% cut so staff at the lower end could avoid a hit, that would indeed be something.

Actually, I do, and that's why I said what I did. Do you honestly think any team, not run by Jones, would give the keys to the franchise to someone as brittle as Collaros or Lulay, knowing that neither of them is going to play more than half a season (at best)? They're going to be Kevin Glenn level insurance. Pay for the policy, pray you don't need it.

If you're going to hold out the Riders as an example of "sure it can happen", factor in the fact that Jones can only screw up one roster at a time, and I doubt that he's able to sign all the old broken qb's that have played in the past 10 years. He might, but it will be hard.

Do you really think that anyone signs Collaros after this year, except maybe as a backup? I sure can't. Likewise Lulay. He's done. Jennings, maybe, but not for significant dollars. Just too inconsistent.

Your agenda is showing...

Wow, that is good news indeed. I'm betting that Nichols has been frantically hitting the refresh key praying that he'd see this. He can rest easy now.

Ummm, no.

What are next week's 6-49 numbers?

so, he's oot and aboot without a boot?

If cash is getting tight, they could try the telethon thing too, but Bluto and the other guy would really need to step up.

The only thing the Bombers need to: 1. Score more points* * preferably, score a lot more points because if we're ahead 13-12 it's just going to cause them a lot of confusion as to which number is bigger.

So.... you're saying I should be fired???

Contrariness, mostly.

You know, saying "ridiculous" isn't really a rebuttal. I'd challenge you to go through your posts and see how often you are demanding this guy be fired or that guy be fired or this guy be forced to sell his team or that guy should be dragged into the public square and stoned. Well, ok, maybe not that last one (yet) but it's really your go-to post. If you made your signature something like "FOR GODS SAKE, FIRE SOMEBODY!" in big bold angry capitals, you could just do a blank post in whatever thread has attracted your ire, save yourself a whole whack of typing and accomplish pretty much everything you intend.

They also make announcements after playoffs all the time too. The point is that you can't necessarily read anything into the fact that someone has or hasn't been fired yet. Some teams actually will think things through for a bit and wait to see how things shake out elsewhere before tipping their hand.

Firstly, it's not at all unusual to wait until after the Grey Cup to make changes. Secondly, why is it that in every other post you are screaming about somebody needing to be fired? It's almost fetish-like.

TBurg gotta TBurg... Thanks for all those stats. Even though it's clear that from those numbers the Bombers should just forfeit the game and save the travel money, I think that they'll play the game anyways.

He won't need a phone call. They can whisper it from anywhere in the building and he'll hear it.

When you say "not safe" do you mean "I hope I don't fall and break a hip" not safe, or "I hope I remember where I parked my car" not safe or "I hope those kids don't go on that lawn" not safe?
