Do you guys think this is a game or something?
This is a legitimate concern.
Ranks right up there with not enough raisins in Raisin Brand and the lack of cashews in mixed nuts.
Welcome to a day in my life.

You have me curious now Mike, I'll have to get a box and a bag of BBQ chips after work. Does the bag flavour have less of a kick than the box?
It's an entirely different taste altogether.
The box flavor is an original, unique, rich, appetizing, glorious flavor.
The bag tastes like ... generic BBQ flavor

Why the hell is the BBQ flavor of Old Dutch chips different when it's in the box compared to the bag?
The bag flavor sucks.

I get that there is a bias towards getting old Bombers to coach here (I'm guilty of it too) but in this case I would make an exception. Buck's not just a great guy, he's a guy that has management/coaching written all over him. Kind of like Steve Yzerman. I know the Bombers really liked him and didn't really want to trade him, and I think they just wanted to get him on a team that had a shot at a cup while he was still playing.
Buck still lives in Winnipeg right? I saw him in some dental ad for Manitoba dentists a few days ago. I would think that this decision to retire is in conjunction with some sort of coaching position with Winnipeg.
I would assume that with his fiancée living here and his business interests being here, he'll become a full time Winnipegger if he's not already.
I know I often ragged on the guy for what he did here as a player, but I definitely always wanted to cheer for him. I'm glad he's leaving the playing field on his own terms and I honestly wish nothing but the best for him. Definitely a class act human being. He held his wedding social last weekend and I've never seen a host be so gracious towards all the guests he had. He made a point of shaking every hand possible towards the end of the night. I kind of expected him to just socialize with his close circle of friends that night, but he went out of his way to make sure every single person there knew he appreciated them being there to support him. Classy guy all the way.

If he has a level of interest with it, I'd be more than happy to see him start the process of climbing the ladder in the coaching ranks. That doesn't mean we hand him over the title of QB coach, that means he starts as an offensive assistant and works his way up as he proves his value.

Numbers wise, no.
But I know they basically gave him the equivalent of a #2 QB salary.

Word is @BrianBrohm was obtained by #Bombers via the #Ticats for a 4th rd draft pick or better, based on playing time. #CFL
Pretty much, Alex Hall and a 2nd round pick for Neufeld and Brohm...
... not really.
...? Did we not trade a 2015 pick as part of the Neufeld deal?
we traded our 2014 second rounder
-
I'm 110% sure he understands McAdoo is the OC.
What he is asking is if there is an offensive line coach, a receivers coach, a passing game coordinator and a run game coordinator, what exactly does the OC role entail.
-
CJ Tarver and Austin Coleman ... they're short little return guys from middle of nowhere colleges. Intriguing but let's keep in mind, the CFL would be the highest level of football this guy has played by a mile. Oddly enough, Tarver and the QB they worked out ... AJ McKenna ... both of them were worked out by Ken Moll last year and didn't get a contract offer.
Well, thats odd.. Why we mining where we already stuck out? Did walters think moll was a bad judge of talent or were they planning on being out that way anyway...
Strange.
It was at a combine where they performed drills in front of a number of teams, including the Bombers. But hey, you gotta look everywhere.

Would like to know what the conditional pick is... we had a chance to grab this guy for nothing and passed
so you are blaming Walters for Mack's mistake? What were we supposed to do? Wait for Hamilton to cut him and go into TC with only two QB's?
Nope, not at all... just wondering what we had to give up...
Besides, I'm a Taman apologist... Walters is acting just like Taman, can't really criticize him too much
Probably ranges anywhere from a 7th rounder to a 3rd.
Scratch that -- bottom end is a 4th, all depending on playing time.

as per Darren Cameron's twitter account.
Hamilton receives conditional 2015 draft pick.

Makes sense? No, that doesn't make sense. The players are easily replaceable. We're not talking about the best players in the world here. We're talking about the B-list football players and there are tons of them out there. If they don't like the salary they're getting, too bad, we can find another guy to do your job just as well for whatever pay he can get. The owners have all the leverage and they should use it. Caving to the players' demands would be a huge mistake.
The CFL B List? Then why do you watch? No one is forcing you. Find another sport you can grumble about salaries while calling the CFL bush. Who needs you? Hey the North American Lacrosse League needs fans & they pay their players peanuts so it's right up your alley. Go follow it.
Why does acknowledging that the CFL doesn't have the best football players in the world mean he shouldn't watch it?
It's not what Atomic said it's how he said it. Big difference. The CFL is the one league in the ******* world that the players are in the community interacting with fans in all kinds of different ways. Most basically play for the love of the game & he's bitching about salaries? And advocating that owners should get tough with the players to the lpoint of shutting down the season in 2014?? Hell, 3 teams DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY OWNERS as they're community owned.... Nope, I don't take back what I said. I know the NFL has better players but at the same time if you are a true fan you appreciate what you have which is still pretty damned good.
I don't see how you can possibly get annoyed with the way I talk to you sometimes and then still think you're justified in talking to Atomic the way you did in this string of quotes. He's not exactly saying anything that's untrue. Nor is he saying anything that should be offending you to the point that you're telling him he shouldn't watch the CFL. To a certain extent, a lot of these guys are replaceable. Some of them aren't, but most are. The owners have a good chance to make the league financially stable and while I definitely think that the players deserve their fair share of the new revenue, it shouldn't be an overwhelming amount.

All I know is that for the rest of this guy's life, we'll be paying for him to have his treatment. Perhaps they should have a "Do you like to eat people - Y/N" question on the immigrant application. Maybe he wants to move back where he came from, but that would mean he'd have to eat Chinese every night.
Are you actually going to contribute something to this thread or just crack jokes in and among all the serious posts being made?
Just wondering. It's borderline offensive.
-
Weird thread.
-
Many of his Bomber teammates referred to him as their leader during his time here, to suggest otherwise is petty.
Who?
How come they were not outraged by him being traded.
Is that really the basis for your argument or are you just playing silly bugger?

^^ general discussion sub-forum, Terry.
I'm not even sure which way I lean on this. I feel like it's ridiculous that someone who beheads a guy and eats parts of them could ever be released. But without fully understanding the finer points of mental health and what kind of effect it can have on people, I think it's impossible for me to say I take a 100% stance on either side of the fence.
