This was me too!

Wish him all the best and good luck in camp.

All right fine. Semantics. Wally wanted a guy, had him in the bag, and thanks to fortune and circumstance, that guy became available, and we got him, not Wally. And as Mr. Dee says, that makes me smile. A lot.

I agree with your assessment. The part that sells me on the whole Waggoner story the most is that we put one over on Wally B. Just the fact that he's sitting in Vancouver or Kamloops right now steaming away that the Bombers pulled one over on him is gratifying to say the least. Especially after all the years of watching the Bombers screw the pooch as rival GM's grabbed guys like Westerman and Mike Reilly right out from under our noses.

That's like trying to put out a massive forest fire while dodging an F-5 tornado.

So did Tillman.

I assume that this was the title of the sports pages in the Free Press and Sun this morning....

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers 11th-overall draft pick REC @addigold remains the only player of their 2015 class yet to ink a deal. Rookie camp begins Wednesday. Addison Richards holding out?

It's amazing what you can do when you actually have some loose purse strings and are allowed to hire quality people to go find quality players. Imagine that eh? I've said it before and I'll say it again, as soon as I saw that Danny Mac was coming on board, I knew that things were turning around for the better.

I honestly believe coach Kelly got caught up in an absolutely perfect **** storm with everything raining on him.. His standoffish stance didn't help matters at all but I mean the guy just won a coach of the year award.. Granted it's just ECAC conference coach of the year but still university level and still a solid award. Clearly he did not work here when he was here but I think it just wasn't the right time for his style of coaching.. He had some serious anger management issues, for one thing. Swearing at poor old Mitch and Bob on live radio was a sign that something wasn't right and therapy was needed. I wish him all the best wherever he is now, and please please consider coming back to the CFL sometime, and please let it be any other team other than Winnipeg.

I was going off the assumption that: 1. The Bombers kick ass this year without Waggoner 2. They are first in the league, win the Cup, and therefore, end up with the final draft pick in Round one, which given there are 9 teams now, would be 9th overall in the first round So given those parameters, its not a big deal that we gave up our first pick as it would have been 9th overall anyway. The bigger issue though was that it was a joke, and not to be taken seriously.

man a lot of old posters coming out of the woodwork for this thread - good to see!

Was it powered by End Frame? I don't trust those sneaky bastards!

Are you talking about when they played at the Mistake by the Lake? Toronto is extremely different compared to that era too. Unless they get the condo dwellers out to the games the problems won't be much different. Should get some better dates though. I've had so many Torontonians swear to me they'd go to Argo games if it was outside at a venue like the BMO, and that FC games were so much fun because they were outdoors. Let's see them put their money where their mouth is now.

Was it powered by End Frame? I don't trust those sneaky bastards! Yeah it was, they brain-raped me for my compression algorithm last year during a VC pitch.

Even if you play for a team owned by Braley?

LOL - Leafs fans...what a bunch of turds...

Like the Leafs give a crap about anyone else, let alone the Argos.

Sounds like Kyle owes Duane Forde a doughnut. Also - how pissed off is Wally right now? He had this kid in the bag and Forde totally screwed it up for him.

Sounds like Wally was hard, er going hard for Waggoner too.

The Lions were one of four teams to offer a first-round 2016 pick for Waggoner, but lost him to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who reaped the benefit of a higher waiver claim order from missing the playoffs last year. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2015/05/20/lions-not-playing-safe-to-replace-safety/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed woohoo!! Our tremendous sucking paid off! In your face Buffalo Sabres!

That fastball just hung right over the plate for you...and bam! Right out of the park...

Glad to see that the Argos are finally out of that dump of a stadium the SkyDome or whatever the hell its called now. Football was made to be played outdoors.

Leggett is a ball hawk too, great anticipation skills, hate to lose him in the secondary.
