Oh FFS, don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Was there anything in my post that was even remotely negative about Elgersma?? Not going to argue with you over something as stupid as this. You **** on everyone here. As a mod, that's all you do. You're a bully. You use your position here to intimidate others with drive by smears all the time so why don't you just go crawl under a rock again. Cuz like a snake you only come out to bite someone when they least expect it. I said I meant he should move on from the NFL. Not the Bombers. If I made a mistake in clarity well so be it. I explained so it should be over withouit you coming after me. So, quit being an ass. I've tried to get along with you. Even tried ignoring you trolling & baiting me. Well, that clearly didn't work so go screw off. If anyone should STHU, it's you.

Read what I said again. Slowly. I never said we should move on from Elgersma. I said at some point HE HAD TO MOVE ON from the NFL tryouts. I also said I hope he does well as I hope for any Bomber rookie trying to make the team. That's all I said. Like, seriously??

I've been critical of the decision Elgersma's made with all the NFL tryouts. And I've made that point quite clear because at some ;point, it's time to move on. He's lucky to have a soft pad to land on with the Bombers. The other qbs in the UFL don't have that luxury. having said that, I hope he plays well & shows us that he deserves to be here & can transition to become the starter a year or two down the road. I want Taylor to be successful. I think he'll find the CFL will be a lot more difficult than he anticipated which is a good thing. It means he will have to work hard to be successful.

They'll probably sign Ward. Lol.

Bomber training camp opens in about a month. Won't be a long 5 months for me.

And sign Brent Lauther which makes no sense.

Not even Senator Tommy Tuberville could help Taylor Elgersma in Birmingham. He's now where he needs to be. Just as long as he's got that bullshit, "I wanna play in the NFL" finally out of his system. As Mick Jagger once sang, "You can't always get what you want". Now, we'll see if he's as good as the hype we've been hearing about for almost a year.

Aren't we the team the Avs would have feared playing in the first round had we made it??

I've heard of All Star qbs. Not All Star team presidents. They live in the 90's.

I've been to Bomber home games & Stamps home games. There is absolutely no comparison between them. The Stamps home games are lifeless. Lack excitement. The Bombers work hard to make the home game experience memorable for everyone. The Stamps literally do nothing. They do try but nothing works. In the case of Calgary, it's ownership.

Sure, like asking an Alabama Republican Senator to help a Canadian when the guy who starred in high school is working at Wal Mart stocking shelves & wants a chance. And may actually be as good.

CFL stupid rules with the Coaching Cap. This league worries more about the 55 yard line than a rule that chokes the life out of teams trying to improve thanks to that asshat Randy Ambrosie. Now the new guy. He won't get rid of it.

The CFL is not transparent at all. There is very little info released other than a team went over & by how much. It's a shitty system with communication that needs to be improved.

I remember Lee Hull. A steady, if unspectacular receiver for the Bombers. But that's okay. You don't need to be a superstar player to be a superstar coach. Most great coaches weren't great players. Hull has NCAA & NFL coaching experience. I think his playing background is fine. he'll probably be a pretty good position coach. BTW, he caught 46 passes for 734 yards & no touchdowns as a Bomber in 1990 & 91 while averaging 17.5 yards a catch. Clearly he was a possession receiver & not a deep threat.

We are all so good.

Breaking News: Winnipeg Jets General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff signs a 5 year extension to remain in his position with the team.

well, now that everybody has cut this kid Frederickson, maybe we should see what he can do before he hits the field at training camp or the exhibition season. I'm sure that a lot of receivers were prejudged as not being good enough. The thing is, you can't judge charactder or the size of a man's heart.

Plus hosting the Grey Cup. they wouldn't be giving out $1.5 million woth of football equipment to community teams if they were broke.

Lots of politics in the CFL? It's worse in the NFL. The kid tried to find an NFL roster spot. Based on all his workouts after he was cut by the Packers, he wasn;t good enough. Time to move on as he gave it his best shot. Time for Plan B. If he wants to keep banging his head against a wall, so be it but he's running out of time. The problem is, he's U Sports trained. Not NCAA. Teams have a bias & don't trust his abilities.

If expansion is done right it could work. The CFL have to find investors in cities where there's no pro or college team close by. You go to Birmingham & you have the Univ of Alabama & Troy University nearby. Same in Memphis. Expansion was strictly a money grab by the CFL in the 90's & not well thought out. If we put a CFL team in St. Louis the NFL will do what they did in Baltimore, crush us with an expansion team. Oakland may work. Then, who knows? What;s to say a vengeful Roger Goodell & the NFL putting an NFL team in Toronto out of spite. San Diego & Sacramento have actually built new football stadiums since the last time they had NFL & CFL teams. They aren't NFL sized stadiums but in the 25-30000 seating capacity range. Tacoma, Washington has the Tacoma Dome that seats 20,000 & a huge population surrounding it. It's at least an hour by car on the freeway to downtown Seattle & Lumen Field with the Seahawks. Even further north along I-5 to Husky Stadium & the Univ of Washington Huskies. Tacoma Dome. Capacity 21,000. It hasn't had a professional sports tenant since 2002 because of Lumen Field as well as the Key Arena in Seattle & other newer sports venues both north & south. The Seattle Thunderbirds moved to a new arena in Kent, Washington. The Tacoma Dome could be looking for a new tenant & a CFL team may be one answer. Although renos would need to be done. Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego. Capacity 35,000 expandable to 55,000. Sacramento State Hornets Stadium. Capacity 21,195. Width of a CFL field would be a problem with the running track. With no pro team as tenants anymore as well as the NFL & MLB gone for good, the City of Oakland would be anxious to have the Oakland Colliseum being used again. Capacity of 53,200 for football as Mount Davis, named for Mark Davis the owner of the Raiders, the gigantic Upper Deck that was foolishly built for the team is permanently closed.

Wow, I can't wait. So, if a Mexican beer league can get on Disney+ then why can't the CFL?

That knee injury Stanbeck suffered really affected him. He was the best running back in the CFL hands down when he got hurt. Stanbeck was never as dominant after he came back. Therefore, never saw him play at his full potential very long because of it. Became a journeyman running back.

This is William Stanbeck's retirement announcement on social media. I usually read these announcements & 99% of them all sound the same but this really feels heartfelt. Even though he never played for the Bombers, I'm going to miss him. 3DownNationTwo-time All-CFL running back William Stanback retiresAmerican running back William Stanback has retired after seven seasons in the Canadian Football League. The 31-year-old spent the 2025 season with the Ottawa

I don't care about that as much as knowing how much of a profit the Bombers made this past season. Just wondering when the financials will be released.
