  1. The odd coach on staff who shows he's ready for more responsibility the sure, promote him. But keeping everything else in house is a mistake as Booch says. Do you get the sense there's going to be a run on Bomber assistant coaches? Maybe, we'll see. Lol. That is funny. We'll see. Careful what you wish for.
  2. I'm sure the Argos will lock him up before free agency.
  3. I'd be thrilled if we signed Ceresna.
  4. I haven't had great sleep habits for awhile, either.
  5. The Stamps did all of their hiring in house for years until there were so many coaching offspring as GM's, Head Coaches & Coordinators that they started looking & making coaching decisions like they were from the isolated mountains from Arkansas or Tennessee. Hiring from within just decreases the coaching gene pool & precludes any new ideas or breath of fresh air when it comes to everything from new ideas to team culture.
  6. I want to wish everyone here salutations & feliciatons. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to one & all. Just wondering what your plans are over Christmas & New Year's? A quiet Xmas or one dilled with family & turkey? Or whatever you may have for dinner. We're flying to Seattle on the 24th to spend Xmas with our son, his wife & our 5 month old Grand Daughter. My daughter in law's family are coming up from Portland. Their family are all over the US. So, they've all pitched in to stay at a Bed n Breakfast close to where Tyler's place is. We're all going to do a pot luck this Xmas. As they just had a turkey three weeks ago for Thanksgiving it's not on the menu, Yours truly will be cooking a beef roast & a ham as our contribution. Should be a lot of fun & a bit crazy. I used to have huge family dinners & get togethers for Easter, Xmas & birthdays. Or we'd all gather at my brother's cottage at Hillside Beach on Lake Winnipeg. Then over the years, my parents & older family members passed away. Or moved for jobs whatever. Now, 55 years later, we live a quiet life in YYC. I have an older son & his wife here but unfortunately we don't talk anymore. So, this get together will be a throwback to another time for me & I am looking forward to it. Usually at Xmas, I get depressed thinking about the people I loved no longer here. Xmas can be a difficult time for me but by NYE, I've usually shaken it off. That week between the two helps. Anyway, everyone have a great Xmas.
  7. Think he'll play half the games? I don't. The guy is made of glass.
  8. Other teams are moving forward fast. I'm not panicking but teams are making moves to stock their coaching staffs. Monson in Hamilton. Fields in Ottawa. Benevides in BC. Sherritt to Edmonton. We need an OC but just seem to be sitting by watching.
  9. By God's good graces he didn't lose a team. His going cap in hand to the government in 2020 was an epic fail. What a grifter. No plan. No nothing. Just give us $20 million & we won't tell you how we plan to spend it. Just about everything else he did was a fail. He thinks they're still looking for a team in the Maritimes. Yeah, right. He sucked. The worst Commissioner. Worse than Crump. Worse than Lysko. Worse than Orridge. That's saying a lot. Dude was a liar. Anything he said you could never trust to be true. He just said what people wanted to hear.
  10. All these series on streaming tv channels like Paramount + or Hulu, Netflix whatever are just throwaways with just 10 episodes. None of them last & are cancelled at the whim of the executives on these channels. You can't even get really invested in them because their seasons are too short. Then you wait a year or more for the next season. Quality or quantity with 10 episodes, you say? Well ****, quality doesn't matter. They cancel them anyway. Hard to really care for any of them than other than just a few shows.
  11. The delay in signing an OC is a bit worrisome.
  12. Why would they go "hard" after Maier? There are no more starting qb spots open. He's just a backup & no better than some of them already signed for less to other teams. But sure, knowing how the Riders always love other team's "sloppy seconds", I'm sure they'll make him the highest #2 qb in the CFL.
  13. No idea why guys like Alexander & Adams were in such a hurry to sign. Alexander could have got more in free agency than he did signing that new Als contract. In Adams case, he wasn't a free agent but like every other team he's been on, his agent has allowed them to walk all over him. Taking a bit less to sign with the Stamps??? Like WTF dude, after what the Lions did to you & the desperate way the Stamps needed you, you should have held out for more. Instead, the same thing that happened to him with every team he played for will happen again at some point. I just hope we sign a decent OC. Not sure if hiring from within is the answer.
  14. He took advantage of the upheaval in the US under Trump's first administration as well as the situation with NFL players refusing to stand for the National Anthem to sell a few cheap Diversity Is Strength Tee Shirts when he first became Commissioner. I thought it was always just a cheap shot at America. After selling those shirts, it was all downhill from there.
  15. Ambrosie was a joke. I think the new Commish will let last season ride out like Ambrosie would have but I'm hoping the next Commish will look at opening the CBA to increase the cap.
