You are assuming that someone else would want him.

Apparently this Sanders loon is gaining popularity and is leading Hillary in the polls. So much for any pipelines ever getting built. Anywhere. Neil Young loves this guy.

I was thinking that too. Franklin got the happy feet and looked lost out there. Very Marve-like performance.

This could be what tips the balance in Sask's favour all right.

Or maybe it's like this... Kyle Walters, Wade Miller and MOS enter MB's office. KW: I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go Marcel...it wasn't an easy decision... MB: You know I was following you guys when you went on that trip to Tijuana last year right? WM: What trip? What's he talking about guys? MOS: Oh ****.... KW: Oh no.... MB: You guys want 8X10's? Matte or glossies? WM: What's he talking about guys? KW: Um...so anyway Marcel, let's talk about your game plan for the Banjo Bowl....let me guess, more 5 yard passes and runs up the gut right? MOS: Sounds like a great game plan to me!! MB: Yes, it can't miss. My best one yet. WM: "Throws up hands in disgust"...."I can't do this anymore"....

Oh, I see. The reason that QB's are getting killed in MB's offence is that they want to get hit. Now it all makes sense.

Did Wally find out about this on CapGeek? Another GM that recently was relieved of his duties told me that the best SMS is something called "Napkingeek". I asked him if the website domain was "napkingeek.com" or "napkingeek.ca" and he said "website?" and looked at me curiously.

I told him about it last week and he told me to get off his lawn.

You are making the false assumption that Burris would stay healthy in an MB offence.

I for one can't wait for next Sunday. woo hoo - football!! Man am I kicking myself for starting Brohm over Collaros this week. Doh!!!

I am just waiting for O'Shea to get the thousand yard stare like Burke, standing there while the whole world falls apart around him, staring at nothing. They should start calling that the "Bomber stare", as that's all I was doing to my TV the entire second half (interrupted only by pouring more Crown Royal).

Can you post or pm me the full article please? REGINA - Mike O’Shea had valid reasons for playing Brian Brohm at quarterback this week. The decision, however, didn’t produce a win and in pro football that is the only acceptable outcome. It was a mistake. One hatched from solid logic but with an all-too predictable outcome. Brohm has done nothing with the opportunities he’s had this season to suggest he was going to produce a win. O’Shea repeatedly stated Brohm gave his team the best chance to win. Nope. Winnipeg Blue Bombers' quarterback Brian Brohm works under pressure during first half CFL action against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Regina, Sask., on Sunday. O’Shea’s offensive assistants should have told him as much. They should have lobbied for Matt Nichols. They’ve watched the film, both game and practice, and should have known the options they have in Brohm or rookie Dominique Davis weren’t satisfactory. The Bombers fell 37-19 on Sunday to the previously winless Saskatchewan Roughriders and are now 3-7 on the season with a rematch against the Riders coming Saturday in Winnipeg. Lots went wrong, including an unforgiveable rash of penalties (17 for 140 yards) and more special-teams miscues but at the heart of this loss was a lack of offensive production. Brohm couldn’t convert with any consistency and the Bombers had just 16 first downs against Saskatchewan’s 26. The Riders held the ball for 37:45 while Winnipeg’s offence could only stay on the field for 22:15. Brohm’s stat line: 21 completions on 26 attempts for 184 yards with 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions doesn’t appear offensive at first glance. But it’s a whole lot of nothing. He drove the car around in circles all afternoon, never venturing out on the highway or, heaven forbid, in the direction of the endzone. The name of the game is to score touchdowns and Winnipeg’s offence mustered only two: one early as a result of a turnover and then another well into garbage time. They didn’t drive the ball down the field and they were never a threat. They played scared and, to borrow from veteran hockey coach Craig Ramsay, scared is death. Some say O’Shea is stubborn but I don’t know him that well and certainly not well enough to make that judgement. Maybe you do. What I do know: O’Shea made the decision before Nichols, who was traded to the Bombers on Wednesday, had even arrived in Winnipeg. O’Shea, quite reasonably, came to the conclusion the quarterback wouldn’t know enough of the playbook to be able to successfully lead the offence. Fair enough. But Nichols, even with a reduced offensive package would have been a better option. Brohm’s understanding of the playbook doesn’t over-ride his inability to target the football with any semblance of consistency on passes longer than five yards. Brohm stated after the game that he thought the offence played a "clean" game. You don’t get dirty if you don’t try to make a splash in the puddles, my man. This is rationalization at its best. Or worst. It’s deluded and if that’s what the Bombers offensive minds thought of this game, well, they’re way off base. Drew Willy has watched the last three games due to a knee injury and that, above all else, is what’s wrong with the Bombers. Willy makes the Bombers a better team and it’s become apparent they’re just not deep enough at this stage of their rebuild to withstand injuries, especially one to their best and most important player. But an injury to Willy doesn’t give the offensive coaches and players a free pass. They have to scrape something together and hold up their end of the table. They’ve completely dropped it now, going back to the moment Willy went down. A major portion of this falls on the quarterback play in these three games. Brohm and Robert Marve haven’t given the Bombers an opportunity to win. Which is precisely why Nichols was the right call. He’s won games in the CFL. He’s no saviour but he’s a competent backup. He can and has gotten the job done. He’s a major upgrade over what we’ve seen from Winnipeg’s quarterbacks not named Willy. Nichols should have started this game and he should once again get the nod come the Banjo Bowl this weekend. He’s the only thing resembling a professional quarterback in the Bombers stable of healthy passers. Asking him to start on just two days of practice and three days of study was a difficult task. But trying to win with Brohm at the helm is the impossible task. These are O’Shea’s decisions to make. He’s not going to get every one right. And you want a coach who relies on process as well as logic rather than guesswork and hunches. Process and logic should tell O’Shea his offence needs to be flipped on its head. The scheme isn’t getting it done. Nor is the personnel. It’s time for change. Major change. Promote Markus Howell and Buck Pierce - give them the keys. And then give them Nichols to give them a fighting chance. This season isn’t over but if the offence continues as it has - forget about it. O’Shea has led by taking the flak. That’s OK, if eventually there’s a payoff game in the future. That hasn’t happened. So now it’s time to provide a solution and execute. One week late is better than never.

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Bombers-boss-drops-ball-on-starting-Brohm-over-reliable-backup-Nichols-325183731.html Lawless asking why Nichols didn't start. I had the same question. Really, Brohm starting this game was just waving the white flag.

well then I hope every time he sacks our QB, tackles our RB behind the line for a loss, recovers one of our many fumbles or makes an INT I hope the Winnipeg fans boo him lustily! Just kidding, I couldn't blame him for not wanting to join team Hot Garbage.

Bluto always said that if Henoc came back he'd play in Toronto. I guess we'll see.

I nominate GBill to be his fall guy. I'm in! Great!! Come pick up your Fall Guy truck, it's all part of the persona....

Turk want a job in Winnipeg?

do not see Bilikudi or Mulumba listed anywhere...

Jamaal Westerman wants to know just what the hell you are talking about.

With his famous pop, I would expect Duron gets at least one more cup of coffee in the NFL first.

We could sign Henoc and play 13 on defence as Hurl is invisible anyway.

The more I read about this the more it makes my blood boil. This Fin Donnelly character deliberately lied on national TV and the CBC ate it up. There was zero political integrity displayed by the NDP (no surprise there) and zero journalistic integrity showed by the CBC (no surprise there either). This NDP-CBC partnership in stupidity and lies has to end. Enough is enough. "Harper cut $36 billion from health care". "Harper killed those Syrian boys". I just don't get why the NDP can't help but step on their dicks constantly. Do they honestly think they won't get caught in their lies? Do they not understand how stupid they look when they are caught. I just hope finally, Canadians realize just how awful the NDP are, and give them a big pass at the ballot box.

Paul Wiecek ✔ @PaulWiecek Looks like Jake Thomas will slot in at DT this weekend for an injured Bryant Turner. #bn

I honestly think Broom should take up cricket. He seems a natural bowler, the way he bounces the ball in front of players.

Both games the next two weeks should be called "The Toilet Bowl" this year.
