Oh, I know. I’ve spent a few hours around him here and there since he retired and I can imagine what I’ve seen is only scratching the surface.

It’s pretty simple … just because you’re good at football doesn’t mean you’re good at life.

Bombers not offering Bighill a contract ahead of free agency according to Jeff Hamilton my first daughter was born Monday and this still might be the best news I’ve had all week

Argos released Jon Jones, the linebacker not the drug addict UFC fighter and I’m not really sure why. He was on an upward trajectory and then just fizzled out last year. @bluto I demand answers

As far as leadership goes, there’s probably something to be said for a guy who is coming back for his 13th year after being an uncoveted late round draft pick who was on the verge of being out of pro football four years ago. He’s obviously done something right. Thomas isn’t one of those guys that makes me mad to see out on the field. There’s a place for him. My problem is with his usage. He’s gotta be limited.

If Thomas is used appropriately, I can at least get on board with him being some kind of end-of-the-bench spot duty player who sets the tone in the locker room by being a leader. The dude has 200+ games in the uniform, it’s not about him for me it’s just about his usage. I get wanting that guy as the 45th guy in uniform especially in a Grey Cup year. Americans though? Nah.

THAT one will piss me off to no end. Thomas wasn’t one of the must not come backs for me, that was reserved for Biggie and Alexander

Honestly, you can really sell me on the move IF a few things change. The problem is, I don’t believe even a single one of these would ever be true, nevermind all of them. IF he’s a gameday backup to Lawson only, IF he takes maybe 20% of the reps he did last year, IF we adjust our ratio for a fresh week in case of a Lawson injury and IF this comes at the cost of reps for Schmekel, then I’m fine with this move. Problem is, none of that will be the case.

That one makes me really mad

I’d rather pay McManis 270 than pay Ford 220

Whoever said Brinkman is on their wishlist, I agree Holm got 135k and Mitchell got 150k .. that tells me we’re spending in some different ways this year.

Love that for us

Is it really any different than you repeatedly whining about whining? At least the other people repeating themselves are actually talking football

I don’t know if I’d be in a hurry to give up our DB’s, could become a trouble spot in our D real quick depending on who the voices in the room bringing all these studs in were

I also don’t have a ton of faith, but I’m also of the mindset (and so far, it’s playing out that way) that we may have quite a few open spots this year so O’Shea might not have a choice
