Sergio's photo reminds me of good ol Bernie Ruoff who would wear office guy glasses onfield with a single-bar helmet. A different time the 70s were... https://www.imagecommunications.ca/image?_bqG=6&_bqH=eJxtj09PwzAMxT_Nel6RClKlHNLY7SzWBPKnWk_RxNgYEppYxoFvT1xNUAE.OL_3nJfIbX98S7umfT1cHqmE1WdIB7d733Spr8vbulrW5TJXTRGcEueP035fUHQgPS6qpu8XFYiZAcAGwMwac7HJZ7bxdxT_RvH_qCI_Tp_5PGZQJmhvx0jOsDSWUOcZGc2SXLS4RukQrvJhrp2xXlip74tptyg1iEvm4NBGAhF477vNjR2a0.qYKI8Gsj7IdZQdajXypSKqJlJ.OEevGL7Rtj_YM0rlRXrenp9eimFKd1NX3L8ANENxIQ--

happened with Woli last year, we released him in late January.

isn't that a typical player-friendly move to give a guy a chance to find a new home? I mean, even if we don't think Kolo is gonna catch on anywhere, still seems like a class move to move on from a guy ASAP and let him find a new situation while teams still have money to spend.

Really? doesn't a centre need a little bit of seasoning to call the blocking?

Not for me, I don't really pay attention to the Jets until playoff time. The NHL regular season is too long to really get invested in.

Was talking about the 2025 playoff crapout, not the present struggles.

Oh hell yeah. Thank you mods and siterunners!

yeah, the 2024-2025 Jets turning out to be a mirage was a giant bummer.

hell, I am blind to most of the subtleties of football and even I can see that Holm is a ludicrous athlete. Can't think of another Bomber DB past or present with his maneuverability. Holm to me is kind of like "what if Charles Roberts grew a couple of inches and played DB?" Good luck to him with his shot. Rod Black had Sticky -- MBB has Holm. (mods feel free to delete this terrible post)

2025 was a slog for me you guys, and not just as a Bomber fan. But I'm looking forward to 2026. May the new orbit bring you all good fortune.

cmon man, I get that you like to gripe but you're just saying nonsense here. Let's look at some GOATs: Scotty Bowman didn't play in the NHL. Don Matthews didn't play above the college level and certainly never played Canadian rules. Bill Belichick didn't play in the NFL. Closer to home, Kevin Bourgoin was the passing game coordinator / WR coach for the absolutely lethal BC Lions offense this past year and was our WR coach in 2021 when we lapped the whole league. Yet another dude who topped out as a player in college and went into coaching straight afterwards. And his playing career was so un-noteworthy that he's got no Wikipedia page and I had to google into a local news story just to discover that he did play at one time.

yeah, I remember that! Didn't that challenge cost him a record?

well, we brought in Brown but he emerged a little too early for our convenience. And Streveler could have been QBNext except for some devastating injuries. credit to this Bomber regime that they actually brought in two quarterbacks who could win games in the CFL. Before Strev in 2018 and Brown in 2023 you have to go all the way back to Danny Mac to find a Bomber-recruited QB who didn't **** the bed when the spotlight hit them.

best of the season y'all. May 2026 be our return to glory!

say what you will about Kelly, the Fred Reid game in BC will always live in my memory ... watched it on a cheap little laptop from a hotel balcony in istanbul, drinking raki. Poor Javier Glatt. I was astonished he still had a career after chasing fast Freddie around all day. Mike used to have a great avvy of Phil Hunt about to obliterate Kevin Glenn. Wonder if one could make a similar one for Jones vs Brock
