Yeah, different world back then. I just think that when I told my parents it was too incomprehensible for them to believe. The thing I remember was not only would he grab my privates he would also squeeze very hard which was extremely painful & then laugh or smile, I can't remember. He didn't seem too worried about being found out. Today things would have been different. I try not to dwell on it much as it was such a long time ago. Hopefully that bastard is burning in Hell.

Not likely but I'd be happy with Durant as our backup to Nichols while we bring in a brand new developmental third string qb.

I was sexually assaulted by my Mother's cousin twice when I was 13. He grabbed my nuts when we were alone in a room on 2 separate occasions. Tried to pull my pants down. He was in his late 50's & I was afraid of him. I told my Mother but she refused to believe me. I said that I'd never go to his house ever again. That was in 1968. It was frustrating as my parents were in denial that it happened. I remember wishing I could kill him.

Not likely, unfortunately.

Hervey would have been the logical choice to do that but Andrew Wettenhall seems to think Reed makes a better GM.

Trestman had Popp who believed in him. Popp also knew that if it wasn't for Trestman, he'd be unemployed so there's no way that Popp would ever do anything bad to Trestman. They won together in Montreal so they had a trustworthy relationship established. There's nothing like that between Reed & Claybrooks. I just get the impression that Reed would throw Claybrooks under the bus first chance he gets when the losing continues.

Crazy stupid if he accepts.

Exactly. He's in a great place & the more experience he gets as a DC the better HC he'll be. You're right about limited coaching experience. He needs more seasoning & can wait so what's the rush? The way I see it, Reed wants a guy who will listen & never question him. He learned that from Eric Tillman who gave Reed his first HC job in Edmonton. I remember reading stories about the relationship Reed had with Tillman back then who was the GM & his boss. Kavis had never been a head coach before. He was beholden to Tillman. He knew that Reed would never question his decisions like trading away Ricky Ray for virtually nothing. Tillman wanted a Yes Man in place & it sure looks like Reed wants a Yes Man in place as his HC. That's how I see this.

None of those guys are really 50/50 long ball receivers. They can't be expected to go downfield at full speed & then out jump the coverage. So, I agree with blueandgold on this. I'd love to see the Bombers use the Eskimos, Riders or Stampeder model that no receiver playing for them is under 6 feet tall. I want more physical receivers.

The guy is Teflon. Nothing will happen, sadly. His base doesn't care. He'll claim #fakenews & his Minions will breathlessly believe him.

If Claybrooks takes this job then I won't feel sorry for him WHEN he is fired. It'll be a stupid decision. Is he that desperate to become a head coach?

Man, imagine Rick House & Joe Pop in their prime playing today for us?

He's asking $30 million in severance. Others can't fight back which is why these things need to go to court. Everyone deserves their day in front of a judge & jury.

We should have the Bitching About Airlines thread as that would be fun.

Peter Young tweeted that Bob Cameron played in that game.

Karma's a *****.

Unless you're Bud Grant or Vince Lombardi, coaches are hired to be fired.

I would like to see people accused have their day in a Court Of Law before being convicted in the Court Of Public Opinion. Amazing how someone can come forward & write a letter on a Monday night & Lauer is fired the next morning. It's just open season right now.

Who are you referring to?

That hasn't got anything to do with anything.

Meanwhile Trump, the accused Senators in office & Roy Moore are invulnerable.

Who was the Rider who had Aids & was sleeping with women all around Regina? He was charged & went to trial.

McMahon Stadium is ****. Listen, in 5 years that team will be down so far in the standings they'll be lucky to not finish last in the entire league. Hufnagel, Dickinson & Bo Levi Mitchell will be ghosts seen wandering the narrow concourses under the stands at night. You'll be able to blow a cannonball thru the west grandstand & not hit anyone. I think the end of their long run is almost here.

David Braley continuing to grind the Lions into the dirt just like the Argos. And Ambrosie said during GC week that if the CFL had a Mount Rushmore Braley's bust would be chiselled into it. Maybe in 1995 but not with the damage he's done to 2 teams. He's become a disinterested owner wanting an exhorbitant amount for a team that is losing value e\ch & everyday he holds onto it. Killing the fanbase.

How Trumpian was that statement?
