You'll like the WWE Network. especially the documentary series "The Monday Night Wars" which is outstanding. if you lived thru that era watching both Monday Nitro & Raw then you'll know what Imean.

There's a plus for Murphy. He does have experience Jacquie, Read his bio. He's already doing the job that full time GMs do. He has since 2010.

They started from zero & could direct the money any position they wanted which other teams couldn't. That luxury is probably is becoming harder to do.

Ain't it great? We may have a deadbeat GM the rest of the season making moves that may affect the Bombers years down the line. If Walters does go, we probably won't know till the season's over as it'll be a secret. "Flush..............."

Taman looks like a homeless bum, but he's a pretty smooth talker...media loves him. Maybe the United Way is looking for a spokesperson.

Does anyone think Brendan Taman is refined? The guy looked more like a street creature at times with a 3 day beard & hair that looked it hadn't been washed in a week. Like he was homeless. Anyone old enough to remember former Winnipeg Jets 1.0 GM Mike Smith? His hair was always dishevelled & he looked like he slept in the suits he wore.

Lawless came on at 6:15 am this morning.

I heard the Lawless interview this morning & what he said really makes no sense. I don't even know what that even means? I've heard Murphy on the radio here in Calgary being interviewed plenty in the past on the Stamps flagship station 770 CHQR AM. The guy doesn't sound rough around the edges at all. He can be direct & to the point. He knows football plain & simple & knows how to build a winner. Interesting that when the media here in Calgary want to get the scoop du jour on player personnel matters they don't ask Huff.They ask Murphy. The Lawless comment about Murphy not being refined just smacks like the reason we passed on Lemar Durant & took Addision Richards instead because Durant is a quiet guy & didn't "interview well". Guys like Walters were so busy trying to find fault with his personality that they totally ignored his talent & he passed right by them to the Stamps who gleefully snapped him up. If the Bombers could get Murphy then passed because he wasn't "refined" then how stupid are they? Wait, don't answer that. I mean, if you want to take this a bit further & discuss Lawless then, how does he get a gig on the radio & is seen on tv as he has a demeanor & a voice better suited to work anywhere but the broadcast media. How refined does an overweight, wrinkled, middle aged man in a brushcut look? But hey, I ain't prejudging... I did like how Lawless laughed off the Chris Walby comments that Danny McManus should take over as GM as he's "just a scout". No management experience at all. Lawless' comments are accurate. Murphy IS rough around the edges. It's been the knock on him for a very long time and it's a big reason why he hasn't already been given a GM opportunity. That being said, I don't even care. Hire him anyways. Neither do I.

Well, considering he helped Huff draft guys like Lavertu, Jones, Craighead, Durant & others I'd not hold that against him. Jones is a ****** but he's starting in Cincinnatti. Brought in Rogers. Wilson, BLM, Fuller, a whole swack of starters on defense & kick returners like Tim Brown who was released by the Lions...

With every loss another nail is hammered into the Blue Bomber coffin on another miserable year. The season is lost. We'll be 4-10 after the next 2 weeks. The people calling for patience will grow quieter & quieter. Even if we somehow miraculously made the playoffs, so what? We'll get destroyed anyway. I didn't see a lot of fight yesterday, I saw a team that quit. Special teams were brutal & offensively we were just as bad. Yeah, the defense at least tried but to say the team never quit? Nope, they did.

If I'm going to pump anyone's tires, it's John Murphy's. He's involved in all aspects of the Stamps organization from scouting college & pro teams in the US & Canada, contract negotiations, the salary cap, monitoring the CFL waiver wire daily, updating the Stamps neg list & free agent camps. He's the one behind the outstanding record Huff has has had in the CFL Draft as well as finding the great International talent the Stamps have. To me, he's the De Facto GM over there now. He's a huge reason why Hufnagel is courting 100 wins in 7 1/2 seasons as Stampeders HC & a 2 time Grey Cup winner as well. I believe he's ready to take over a team as GM. Here's the other thing... people say we can't attract the best coaches & players here. If the Bombers hire a GM with outstanding credentials then the quality coaches that won't come here otherwise certainly will. We keep hiring GMs that don't have the credentials, reputation or experience needed & naturally coaches don't want to come here as they fear the Bombers will be a career graveyard for them. Hire someone other football people respect & the quality candidates will come, I believe. Of course, Walters has to go to Guelph first for this to happen. Kyle may not be hired as AD over there or decide to stay here. I'd have to think the Riders may pursue this guy aggressively at seasons end as well. Here is Murphy's bio from the Stampeders website: http://www.stampeders.com/john_murphy

Can't wait for us to sign Willie Beamen.

Jinxed....

Murphy would be a great choice. Keep Taman away.

Ritchie is a pretty good DC but he was a lousy HC so I hope he stays where he is. I don't want any interim titles hung on anyone with Miller around based on what he did before. Look at the Walters hire. If it's going to be blown up then blow it up the day after our last regular season game so the Bombers will be forced to look elsewhere.

Sad. Abysmal effort. Just going to get worse... Look who we play next.

I hate everything about the Riders. Having them at 1-11 is almost perfection for me.

Bye Kyle. C ya.

Riders need to overhaul their defense as it is brutal. I don't know how many guys you get rid of but they can't cover worth a damn. Offensively the Riders receiving corps are old, slow & too small. They have 2 starting smurfs & I don't know how that can help. Dressler would fetch a decent player & or a draft pick back while the others maybe a bag of footballs. Bagg & Getzlaff are in their 30's & are no longer any kind of threat. The Riders have the worst receiving corps in the CFL & they don't scare anyone anymore. At qb Glenn is 0-5 as a starter. The team is now 1-11. The season is over. Playing a 36 year old Glenn makes no sense anymore. I think they should let Smith play to gain experience & to plan for next year.

I blame Austin. He should have saved Collaros for their next game.. The point made was Austin will still play Collaros if the Ti cats had a 50 point lead in the fourth quarter. certainly his injury happened when the game was early.

Hamilton has just crashed & burned... the Ti Cats have no depth at qb & are in big trouble because of it. They have been exposed.

Who was Matthews throwing to? Hey, the kid is calm, cool & throws touchdown passes to the wrong team.

Black hasn't been as annoying today as he usually is. He does have the unique ability to suck the life out of a game like no one else when he's at his worst.

TSN HAS TO KNOW everyone hates Black. They just don't care. There's no competition.
