Not in the Top 500? Are you serious?? That is laughable. How many players scored more than 88 tds & had over 13000 all purpose yards? I dare you to name them. BTW, Craig Ellis was signed by the Bombers in 1982 as a rookie after he was cut by the Miami Dolphins. The Bombers brought in James Murphy at the same time. GM Paul Robson signed them both but they started Murphy ahead of Ellis who was put on the PR. He was eventually released & the Stamps claimed him. It worked out for both.

No, Allen's never coached in the CFL but he did spend one year in the NFL in 2021 under the program they have for coaches of colour to have an opportunity to coach in that league. The same program Hank Burris was a part of allowing him to coach with the Bears in 2021. He's now with the Carolina Panthers but no longer a part of that program.

"This guy" named Craig Ellis played 9 seasons in the CFL. He had 12,828 all purpose yards rushing, receiving, returning punts & kickoffs playing for 5 teams in the CFL. He scored 88 touchdowns during his time in the CFL. He's not a random boisterous fan on social media but a former player. He was Allen's teammate in Edmonton & Ellis was one of the best players to ever lace it up in the CFL. It's true that I don't know how long Allen has been wanting to coach in the CFL & how long he's been trying to get on a coaching staff but I think being a qb coach & with his knowledge having input into the offense of a CFL team would probably be helpful. Should he be an OC & jump over other coaches who have paid their dues coaching as assistants? It's happened before so why not as it'll happen again. To me, it's better than the same old coaches like Maas being recirculated now on his third CFL team as an OC & second as a HC. Giving the second leading passer in CFL history the chance to coach seems like a no brainer to me.

As far as those who can't teach... I had a Grade 7 teacher named Ed Golin at Churchill High. He left teaching to found a retail outdoor store called Go-Line Sports on St. Anne's Road in his 40's. It did very well for a long time but I don't think it's around anymore. Old Ed became a millionaire. He's since passed away.

In some situations but I think new blood means new ideas & concepts. Look how Buck changed the offense when LaPo left.

Question: Former Blue Bomber, Esks, Riders & Argos receiver Craig Ellis has been leading the charge on social media for awhile now that former QB Damon Allen should be hired as an OC in the CFL. At the very least a qb coach but according to Craig, he can't get a job in the CFL. Allen was the CFL's leading qb passing yardage wise until Anthony Calvillo passed him more than a decade ago. Allen is 59 while AC is in his early 50's. My question is, Is their failure to either be hired (in Allen's case) or to move up in AC's case two examples of ageism in the CFL? We constantly complain the same coaches get recycled yet two of the greatest players at their position seem to be frozen out. Is the CFL not giving them the opportunity they may deserve because they think both guys are too old?

Out the door Monday.

Serviceable until things go bad on the field. Then he falls apart. Yep, it's obvious Walters is managing the Bombers like a man who wants out.

The nightmare on Elphinstone Street continues.

Ain't that the truth!

The thing is, we don't know how people will think in 30 or 50 years. Society may take a hard turn to the right or left. Then the reaction may be how could YOUR generation have gone that far or not far enough on social issues. As well as how governmant is expected to act. Whatever it is, the generational sentiment will likely change.

Whoa.

In Calgary circa 2012, the Calgary Board of Education disallowed retired teachers to sub. Once retired they had to stay retired. There were too many young teachers who couldn't find work. Times change.

Dunk called Hamilton the CFL's "Super Team" in 2021. Hardly as we kicked their ass twice while Dunk has really given us no credit at all. Dunk thought Dane Evans would be a star. Instead he done nothing but stink his entire career. Hodge meanwhile seems to be searching for click bait when it comes to trying to say there's disenchatment in Bombers ops. If the O'Shea & Walters relationship was so bad then why would he re-sign a 3 year deal? It doesn't take much to see this is all total BS.

Costanza hasn't called a single play in the CFL so why are you so high on the guy? You'd think teams would have jumped to sign him as an OC if he was so great. Obviously not,

Austin covered the Stamps very well. He's now off the Stamps beat only doing the Flames. Austin's twitter account this past seasipn had become just one whine session after another. How the Stamps were unloved. How the Stamps were being sxrewed. Just constant wah wah wah. He's become as bad as Ryan Ballantyne. We never got a home game for Nichols either.

Your generation will **** up. Previous generations always do. The generations that come after you will insult your generation's short sightedness & general lack of intelligence compared to them. You'll be old dinosaurs whose opinion means nothing. Too bad I won't be around to see it.

Yeah, must be great to just wait out the previous generation so yours can take over & make everything right. No more war, no more poverty, no more inequality. You'll raise your kids right. The way I see it, your generation will **** up just as bad or worse than mine did. And yours will **** up.... it's guaranteed. Every other generation did.

What a ridiculous argument. You just keep thinking that. Did my generation hover around our kids when they were growing up? Yeah, we did. But Newsflash, your generation is 100 percent as bad as mine was. Was this behaviour an overreaction? Yeah, absolutely. As a retired school bus driver, (as of June 30, 2021) I saw some real shining example of entitlement from today's generation spoiling & coddling their kids which was easily as bad or as worse as anything we did 30 years before. One time, I was five minutes late getting to my last stop on my last run of the day in the afternoon because of heavy traffic volume. A young student had left a mitt on the bus from the morning run. After we stopped, I didn't open the door right away. I reached up into the overhead compartment to get the mitt out to (hopefully) give back to the student who left it on the bus after my AM run. I wanted to show the kids the mitt before they left the bus for the day. Suddenly, there was a loud banging on my door & an enraged mother demanding to know why I didn't open the door right away. Screaming at me to give her son back to her. She accused me of kidnapping him. Besides swearing at me, she said she was calling the cops to have me arrested. This Mom had lost her mind. Yet, there she melting down at the foot of the steps of my bus accusing me of kidnapping. Yep, all because I was trying to give a glove back to a student before they left the bus that day when it was minus 20. Her behaviour freaked out some of the little kids on the bus so I closed the door & wouldn't let the kids off until she calmed down. I deemed her a threat to student safety. I reported her to my dispatcher as the incident was taking place. Told Dispatch the kids were not being allowed off until she calmed down & wrote her up for a parental misconduct. I was asked if I wanted the police to attend & I told Dispatch no but I'd let them know if she doesn't stop yelling. She was banned for the rest of the school year by the Calgary Board of Education from saying anything to me or coming within 7 metres of my school bus door. She was also told that if she tried any more shennanigans like that again, her son would be banned for the remainder of the school year. So, after that, I'd pull up to the stop, let the kids out & I could hear her yelling at me from time to time at a distance about something she didn't like that particular day. I just ignored her. This went on for the remainder of the school year as the incident took place the first week back from holidays in January, 2021. She was never happy about me or my driving. Something always pissed her off. The woman was a nutcase. I just ignored the stupid, entitled little ***** of a mommy. Lucky for this Mom her son was one of the most best behaved kids on the bus. That saved him from being punted as he was a nice boy & I didn't want to punish him for his Mother acting like an idiot. Mom was smart enough to stay away from my door after that, Had she walked up & started to scream again, her son would have been permanently gone. As it stood, I could have had her son taken off the bus because her behaviour never really stopped. She just did it from 20 feet away. When I heard her yelling after the kids were off the bus, I'd quickly close the door & she'd leave. I never spoke to her face to face again for the rest of the school year. So, you claim that my generation didn't do proper parenting? Think again. Parents today are every bit as entitled as they were 20 or 30 years ago when my generation was the same age as parents are today with my 2 sons. Except I never sreamed at an innocent school bus driver as my kids walked to & from school everyday. BTW, what a clever name Rage Farming is. Just another buzzword of the 2020's.

You got nuthin'. Lol.

You obviously don't have kids. Thirty five years olds reacting to rage farming? Now we know your generation have no brains & are easily programmed.

Boomers? Stop with the stupid bullshit. There are more 35 plus years old Albertans from your generation that hate Trudeau & Singh's guts than any seniors out there. They're the ones with the **** Trudeau signs on the trucks. The same ones that organized the convoy to Ottawa. We boomers are retiring. Don't blame my generation for the fact your generation are the ones that want that went squirrelly alt right & want to overthrow the federal government. We Boomers have afternoon naps & morning coffee with our fast dying off friends at McDonald's to worry about.

You act like Daniel Smith is going to win the next provincial election. I don't. I think the NDP forms the next government in Alberta. She messes with health care & it's over for the UCP.

Our economy has become a mixture of socialism & capitalism. I'm against Smith messing with healthcare as it'll cost her the next provincial election. Nobody wants a health spending acoount with a paltry $300 in it. She's toast.

Well then, I guess I am that dumb as I honestly never noticed it. I already lived thru (as did you) 4 years of the NDP. I don't like the NDP as they tax & spend. I think they're socialists but they aren't communists.
