Just gonna say this... I was considering removing my last post but decided to stand by it. I have a feeling I may have earned a trip to the Principal's Office. I just want to say to all of you who take the time to go to Bomber training camp or practices & then come here to give us your thoughts & observations, thank you. You are appreciated. For those of us who live out of town or can't make practices due to work committments, your opinions are great. Without your comments, we'd know very little. Just what the Bombers want us to know through social media. It's great to read what you see. So, keep it up.

That's Mike's way of saying all of you who do these reports we read suck without him saying it. He's the only one here who has the knowledge to do them. Another Mike Drive By smear. And the guy's a mod? He'll crawl back under his rock & emerge again in a week or so doing the same **** picking on some random member here that doesn't like.

That won't be an issue next season.

Great QBs on great teams don't screw things up. They play like game managers, make great plays themselves at times but let the talent around them win games. BLM may not have been as great if he had played for the Lions instead of the Stamps. Or with us from 2013-16. We were a wasteland at qb back then as I recall. Look what Collaros did in Saskatchewan. Virtually nothing. Then he comes to Winnipeg after another useless stint in Toronto as a washed up pivot & set the CFL on fire as a Blue Bomber in 2019 & 21. How good would Ken Ploen have done had he signed with the Alouettes instead of the Bombers. All the pieces have to fit in place even with the great ones to win. BTW, I think Matt Nichols doesn't get the credit he deserves. He came here for a bag of footballs as Ed Hervey felt he was washed up. Nichols turned the fortunes of the Bombers around. I'd like to see the Bombers recognize his contributions to making this organization a winner.

Which is why I hated the hiring of Jake Thomas to be DL Coach. i envisioned that happening. It would be so easy for Osh to throw JT back in there to be a playing coach. We all know O'Shea would do it & Thomas would be happy to suit up.

QB Tom Clements in his prime. He could run a modern 2026 offense with his skill set. Receivers James Murphy & /or Joe Pop would thrive in the pass happy CFL. I'd also seriously consider taking ONE OF...linebackers, Tyrone Jones, James West or Greg Battle. As well as DT Doug Brown & DE Stan Mikawos.

The Taylor Elgersma watch continues... Except he's a Bomber now.

Uh oh...

Main camp opens Sunday, I believe. I just hope it doesn't snow here or in Winnipeg.

Diggin' Man On Fire.

Man, we could have a great discussion about this.

I like it. But it's obvious he works less than any other TSN on air analyst or pbp. One game a week. Wilson should also be in the studio on the panel when he's not in the booth on Fridays

Crusty Cal was born in 1932 so if he did have children involved in football at the CFL level, we'd have seen them 30 or more years ago.

We're the fans the CFL already has & will never lose. They need the 18-35 demographic. Maybe they'll get it.

Just got my Banjo Bowl tickets. I'm having toe surgery on July 8th. No weight bearing for 6 weeks so this is cutting it close. If I can't go then I'll let you guys know & I'll sell my 2 seats at face value here. Who was JJ Taylor?

If the Whitecaps leave Vancouver that'll help attendance for the Lions.

It's a bit faster than it was 6 hours ago but still s-l-o-w.

Another Osh pick. Even the guys on the panel were at a loss to explain this pick. Why would the Bombers trade up for a pick like that???

Do you think Vaccaro will sign a FA contract with an NFL team if he isn't drafted?

Even without the new contract, Dunigan still got a 40% raise with the exchange rate had the money stayed the same.

A lot of big stars left. We lost Matt Dunigan & Elfrid Payton to US expansion teams. Tracy Ham, Damon Allen, Mike Pringle all left Canadian teams. Don Matthews left the Riders to coach the Baltimore team. so there was drain for sure.

Doyle Orange's son (Brendan O'Leary Orange) was a much better fit & more versatile than Clercius. We let him go to Hamilton. He had the same size Clercius has with better hands & speed. Go figure. Not surprising though considering how Walters managed our roster the past few years.

Why the roll eyes, Noeller? Bighill has a career as a financial planner. He has a list of clients he has to serve & will be taking on new ones. Now, that he's retired he needs more income so he'd want to ramp that up. Not be a Bomber assistant coach. Some guys don't want to coach. I was a financial planner for IG in the 1980's & it was damned hard work. Lots of long hours, evenings & weekends. I didn't have the connections Bighill has with the CFLPA. I could see him handling a lot of CFL players & coaches money & financial affairs. When I worked at IG in the Investors Building on Broadway, I had the pleasure to know the top rep in Canada named Ted Foreman. I assume he is no longer with us as he was in his 50's back in the mid 80's. Foreman was a former hockey player himself who got a huge break career wise when he was introduced to Bobby Hull after his signing with the Jets in 1972. He became his financial advisor. Hull spread the word & soon NHL & WHA players were calling him for advice. He handled investments & tax advice for all the big NHL players back then. Gretzky, Messier, Hull, Hawerchuk. All kinds of NHL stars. Walking into his office was like visiting a hockey shrine with photos & awards. Almost every photo had an autoghraph with the saying, "To Ted. Thanks for the Big Save!!" The guy was a frigging legend.
