  1. Deflected shot goes in.
  2. Pressure is on Walters, McManus & Goveia to find players & make the playoffs. This season is it. No more excuses or reasons to fail. If they do fail, they'll be gone as will O'Shea.
  3. Just being a Devils Advocate here holoman but I think respect goes both ways. If there is a perception of a lack of respect shown to the media then why should they go out of their way to show respect back to the Bombers.
  4. Anything with Sheamus in a main event ... click. Nothing endearing in his character. Nothing to cheer & nothing to boo. Boring.
  5. I know that when USC plays UCLA it usually means the best players in the LA & So Cal area that played for & against each other in high school continue the rivalry in college. It's really something to see.
  6. Merry Christmas to everyone!
  7. All I know is some of his USC history. Was a successful receivers coach at that school. Aso a very successful recruiter for the Trojans & now promoted to OC for them.
  8. Other coaches let the media talk to their assistants. We don't. So we have more restrictive practices than other teams. Like I said before, every coach on Mike's staff should be on the same page so why the need to control the message? No one answers that question when other coaches don't do that.
  9. But who cares, that was 2 decades ago. The guy is a successful coach now.
  10. Ever thought the reason the media is so negative is because even they get tired of covering a shitty football team year in & year out where nothing ever changes? Now they've had 2 full seasons to deal with a head coach who won't let them talk to other coaches & players are only made available at certain times. And they can only videotape part of practice. All they write about are the losses & the occasional win. And all the other garbage in between. If we're grouchy, I bet they are too.
  11. Paul Friesen says MOS is the only coach in the CFL to do this. Muzzle his coaches.
  12. When is he like that? The guy covers all the sports, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, football, Olympics, etc. I don't think he goes thru the motions at all. Does that all Bomber fans do is ***** about the media?
  13. That's not always a good thing.
  14. The FROC are saying limited access to players prevents them from doing more stories on CFL team especially on Game Day. And during the season. THEY feel that it hurts attendance & maybe they have a point. This isn't about Paul Friesen. When someone like Terry Jones complains, well, the guy has been around for 3 decades & regularily does columns about the CFL. I think if Jones is unhappy there might be something there.
  15. The Football Reporters Of Canada are complaining to Orridge about the way things are now being handled by teams & the veil of secrecy that seems to be growing. if it is interfering with reporters doing their jobs & ultimately attendance as football is becoming an afterthought then something needs to be done. So, we'll see what happens. I guess.
  16. Lots of former players who never distinguished themselves on the field & went into coaching did very well. Looks like he started from the bottom at USC, worked hard, studied hard, became a great recruiter, receiver coach & now an OC. Don't be surprised if he does well as an OC if head coaching possibilities open up for Martin. I'm happy for the guy. I hope he does well. And he's a former Blue Bomber so all the best to him.
  17. According to Paul Friesen we are ar the bottom of the NHL on salary just a few million above the floor. Why are we at this point & should we be surprised at how poorly we're playing? After last year's playoffs I expected much bigger things from this team. Now, it's like the air has been let out of every Jets fans sails & this team just went thud. I don't want to say we've been lied to by Cheveldayoff but I'm shocked that this is happening.
  18. We're playing like the Thrashers now. maybe we'll forget about the team. How can the Jets play so well last year look like **** this year?
  19. He's interested in becoming an City of Edmonton Police Officer when he retires, I believe.
  20. After Tee Martin left Winnipeg & got into coaching he's done quite well. martin is a PAC 12 Recruiter of the year now promoted to Offensive Coordinator at the University of Southern California. http://www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/121815aaa.html
  21. I don't disagree with that statement at all as you're right. Every coach on Mike's staff should be on the same page with him whther it's the HC, Coordinators or position coaches. Why the need then to silent the other coaches to control the message? If a coach like John Hufnagel doesn't find it a problem for his coaches to talk to the media (& they do) then why should O'Shea? Dave Dickenson talked to the media after every game. Never heard from the Stamps DC at all as I don't think he wanted to talk to the media but Huff let Dickenson deal with the press & broadcasters. He never handled a post game presser as Huff always did that but the media would seek out Dave for his comments after a game win or lose.
  22. Big middle finger in the face to Chris Jones who probably thought he'd have an inside track on Sewell & Bowman had they remained free agents. if Jones thought he could cut 21 players & just replace them with top CFL free agents well think twice, Chris. Like it's been said, most of the top FA's will be locked up by their teams come Feb 9th. The Stamps signed DT Junior Turner yesterday & CB Joe Burnett today.
