But if Collaros choses Hamilton then what do we do? Go with Willy and Hall this year? I can't stand Burris either but the one thing I can't stand even more is losing.

It was particularly infuriating as TSN delayed the broadcast due to a Nascar race.

Perhaps we should put this in the byline of the website as an advertisement for what to expect?

??? Nothing wrong except that he could have at least tried to play the field. Anyway, with what we now know about Mack, I don't think it would have mattered anyway, Seleepy Joe wouldn't have got the job done anyway, even if Reilly had given us a shot at signing him in FA. I think that players need to look at all options and do what is best for them. In that regard I will be sad if Collaros signs with someone else, but I'll understand that he and his agent weighed all options and did what was best. I didn't get that feeling with Reilly, I think he had tunnel vision for Edmonton, and look how that worked out, the guy is lucky to be alive right now. Of course, so is Max Hall.

well if anything this just shows that Collaros is way smarter than Reilly, who wouldn't even look at another team other than the Eskimos.

I want to see Tisbear's first press conference - can't wait!

I believe O'Shea is on record saying he would have the coaching staff assembled and announced by Jan31.I don't recall O'Shea saying that, but I remember Rod Peterson stating that on his blog. Well then all we need is Arash Madani to say it too and the Bombers will just look plain stupid if they don't comply.

Yikes, this guy is a nutcase! What the hell is Sherman's problem? I like how he plays up his Stanford degree, yet mispronounces a lot of words, including "cretin-tin", whatever that is.

Seems that good defences and gross ******-baggery go hand in hand, which is too bad.

I would take their boring wins and Grey Cups over the ****-show in Hamilton any day.

Definitely should not have still been playing in 2013 for sure. When Trestman walked to the NFL Calvillo should have pulled the plug. All he did last year was unnecessarily endanger himself in a broken system. And his childish behavior while walking off the field after yet another two and out didn't win him any points either. This retirement is a year or even two years too late.

He won back to back Grey cups against the Mustache Riders, and for that alone we should be throwing a retirement party for AC in Winnipeg. Can you imagine how insufferable those Rider d-bags would be if they had won back to back cups?

I had Flutie flashbacks yesterday during the Seahawks game on that bomb that Russell Wilson threw to Baldwin, where he ran around dodging D linemen and then found Baldwin alone for 51 yards. Wilson does that kind of thing a few times a game, but Flutie would do that on almost every possession. It was nuts how accurate he was on the run, the guy was almost unstoppable. Dunigan in his younger years played like that too.

Kind of weird? Maybe he's getting a job with TSN?

Go Broncos!

And from henceforth, Tim was known as "Tisbear" to the adoring Winnipeg fans.

Sounds like a good concept for a sitcom.

I thought Flutie was pulling in around $500K or more in his hey-day, though I think he got stiffed by the Stamps when Ryckman didn't pay him. That was the year I almost ran over Flutie with my car in the University of Calgary parking lot. Ah good times...good times... Actually Doug's highest salary was a million when he played for the stamps. I think that was for his second or third year. Flutie had a personal services contact with Larry Ryckman on top of his CFL contract with the Stamps. Something like $250,000 from the team & Larry was supposed to pay him $750,000 himself. As it turned out, Ryckman stiffed Flutie & he never saw a cent of the money. Ryckman stiffed a lot of people & got into trouble with the AB Securities Commission in the mid to late 90's & left for AZ where he still is today from what I understand. I still remember the story about Ryckman taking the Stamps out for dinner after the 1992 Grey Cup and telling the players to eat whatever they wanted. Then the bill came and Larry's credit card was rejected, so the players had to pay for the dinner. I believe Flutie ended up paying for it in the end. What a joke. Calgary really went through some dark times back then as a franchise, good to see them now in strong hands with good management.

I shudder to think how many Cups the Eskimos would have won if Moon had stayed in the CFL.

Friday July 22, 2005. I was at that game. Bombers won 51-45. Charles Roberts had 195 yards rushing and two TD's. The Als just couldn't stop him. Great game. Milt had a TD as well. Kamau had one catch for 11 yards.
