There are players that don't live in Winnipeg in the off season & want to get home to see their families. Asking them to wait while the Riders sorted out their HC search would have been unfair. NMost would have said, "See ya" & left. You can bet these players had their exit interviews with Osh & Walters even if his contract hadn't been renewed yet.

This writers & actors strike has really screwed the pooch for a lot of jobs for shows having been cancelled. From Yellowstone to Blue Bloods. It's sad that a lot of popular shows are on the cutting block. For me, those 2 shows especially. I'd have loved to see Blue Bloods make 15 seasons but that won't happen. Yellowstone was a riveting series & I'll miss them both. However, since the pandemic with seasons shortened & long hiatuses, I've found that I do other things with my time now. Tuesdays used to be the FBI shows & Weds nights the Chicago series. Friday night at 11 pm on Spokane CBS channel, I faithfully watched Blue Bloods since 2010. However, with sometimes up to 2 months off between November & January & off seasons up to nearly 6 months long now, As well as a number of random 2-3 weeks breaks in between, I don't watch as much tv as I used to. If I do, I pvr old movies or old series that I find & watch them instead. I found that sometimes I forgot to watch series like Blue Bloods or Chicago PD that I never missed before. So, thanks TV networks & studios for screwing us all over with streaming on Netflix or Paramount Plus, the writers & actors stikes & long layoffs. You're just killing off series tv on the major networks. Maybe that was the end game all along?

Knowing the CFl & what they've done with the players cap, it'll be a snails pace.... Like $50,000 or something like that. Paper cuts for everyone made to suffer.

The way the really big men can run & move now the athleticism is off the charts. We need to get bigger physically in the middle & give relief to the two Jeffs. I just hope Walters makes replenishing our defense a priority. With Schoen & Oliveira eating up a ton of cap money that may be tough. Unless, we unload some aging & expensive veterans.

What an insult to Timberlake.

Steve Earle collaborated with the Pogues in 1989 on his Copperhead Row album.

The biggest thing holding the CFL back are the people that run the show in the HO. Short sighted & unintended consequences. It took years for Walters to build up an organization like the Bombers & only a year or so for Ambrosie to destroy it. I can't imagine how bad it would have been if any combination of Walters, Goveia & McManus had to leave because of that cap. Now with Buck coming back, we somehow dodged a bullet.

And watching Ambrosie at Grey Cup week with his response. Like Osh said.... He doesn't give a ****.

No, it's shortsighted. The Bombers made a profit of $7 million in 2022 & will make evem more this season yet they're hand tied because of the Edmontons & Calgarys of the league who have grinded their teams into the ground..

Even Walters is acknowledging that (age) is becoming an issue with them being more expensive as well as injury issues & may overrule Osh on some players by not re-signing them. That will free up money for some new blood as well as Oliveira & Schoen. It's freaking time to shake up the core.

Yes, so would I. The caps are way too low. Both of them. The only way are for teams to violate them.

One of them would have been traded. Probably the guy playing worse.

My question to you is, Do you really think the Blackhawks would get rid of Perry for not being faithful to his wife? C'mon.

Mulumba! He's coming. He's coming. He's coming. He doesn't have an NFL PR contract now so he's coming!! BIlikudi? Where's Bilikudi?? He's coming, as well.

Rant? Give me a break. If the Riders want to hire neophyte coaches in the hope of fixing all their problems then they're delusional. More power to them.

Look in the mirror.

An inexperienced OC in Mueller. The Stamps offense was very putrid last season. It just keeps getting better & better.

We screw them. The Riders want to screw us. Tere are just some rules in the universe that don't need to be written..

Has it been made official? If I was a Rider fan, I'd be underwhelmed as the team didn't get its first choice in Buck, it seems. Nothing the Riders & their fans want more than to screw over the Bombers & let's face it. The hiring of Buck would have done just that. He'd have brought a couple of assistants & high profile Bomber free agents with him. Corey Mace is a relatively inexperienced DC. Only been at the job for 2 seasons after a couple of years as DL Coach in Calgary. He was fed great players to coach in Toronto defensively as they always have big signings as free agents as the salary cap means nothing to that team because the league seemingly always looks away. We'll see how Mace does with a team bereft of talent with a horrible culture of failure & "Me First" player attitudes. In an organization that doesn't have a silver spoon in its mouth like the Argos have. I don't know if Mace is ready. I suspect that he isn't. Glad it's Mace. He's gonna need a miracle to fix the Riders.

This conversation...

Walters looked relieved just being there & answering questions. Back to doing business!

O'Shea needs to be saved from himself.

I don't know what defense you watched but we played soft zone all year. In the GC when we needed a stop in the worst possible way we didn't get it. We played passive in the secondary. We got no push on the opposing qbs we played. There's no comaparison to the level we played in 2021 compared to the last 2 seasons. Stats can be interpreted in many ways. One of the many reasons we led in defensive stats is our offense. We;d grind out wins with 13 play drives. Defense wasn't ewven on the field as the offense was taking care of business. Our O was hampered by playing two injured receivers who never should have seen the field

So, moral & ethics mean nothing. Nice to know, Perry has always been a POS as a human being anyway. He's just cementing his legacy as a douchebag.

If we improve the Front 7 just watch how much better the Back 5 play. Right now, the Front 7 isn't good enough.
