The Muamba thing is getting old. I know he is just looking for an NFL team to sign with but it's like he's almost begging for an NFL gig now.

Three hours is too long.Tighten it up by going 2 hours.

Which severely limits your options, basically to people who nobody wants. Generally people with opportunities for other jobs have been saying thanks but no thanks when the Bombers put together their shortlist in the last decade because of how dysfunctional the organization has been. Exactly.. I have zero doubts in my mind that we have made offers, probably substantial ones, to the Austins, Buanos, etc when they have come available and they have simply passed because of our history in the last ten seasons. You can't have zero doubts when you don't know who Miller talked to. Sorry, just not possible.

I want to thank BigBlue for starting what may just be the Thread Of The Year thru every fault of his own.

In orbit! Sheesh! Next you'll be telling me the earth is round. Round? Is that what that nit wit explorer is saying?

I'm really trying not to pay attention to this election. If Harper had done the usual 39 day election bit, I'd have been more interested but what he did going for 79 days smacked of political opportunism which I didn't like. I wonder how many Canadians feel like I do? What was he & his advisors thinking when he dropped the writ during the Duffy trial? It's just gone from bad to worse for the guy. As a Conservative supporter, I'm just going WTH??? Mulcair just scares the bejeebers out of me. I'll vote for Trudeau if it looks like Harper is going down to prevent that guy & his socialist party from gaining power. I bet a lot of Conservative supporters will do the same. Harper my first choice, Trudeau second, if need be. The lesser of 2 evils.

That 84 Grey Cup year, when we finally beat the Lions in the West Final at BC Place & after so many years of failures in the playoffs before that. I just sat there & cried tears of joy in front of my tv. I was glad I watched that game alone... It was wonderful.

Calgary, Hamilton, and Ottawa have mobile QBs and above average O-Lines.I wouldn't consider BLM a "mobile" QB. And perhaps a mobile QB makes an OL look better. Yeah, but he's kinda shifty in the games I've seen him play in. Maybe he just feels pressure well. Not easy to sack and gets the ball away rather quickly. He's extremely well coached up by Dickenson & Hufnagel.

I used to love the old Seahawks jerseys & helmets. That green, silver & blue was nice. The only thing that makes the new look palatable is they're winning wearing them.

If kpt crunch wants to bail out on the Bombers for the Oilers, then buh bye.

I'm not as worked up as you think, I just post my opinions. No worries. I care deeply about my favourite team that's all. I don't like them being the laughing stock of the league. I want to see at least one more championship in my lifetime before I die or in diapers in some seniors residence but most times I don't think it'll ever happen. Like I said, most of you guys are too young to remember our last 3 GC championships from 84, 88 & 90 like I do & what it meant to me, other Bomber fans, the City of Winnipeg & to the Blue Bombers themselves as an organization. You have no idea (if you've never experienced it before) what it's truly like as modern fans, to win a Grey Cup championship & what it means, unfortunately. To know that the Bombers were the best team in the league for those 3 seasons, wow... What an unbelievable feeling. For the last 25 years with the odd exception it's been all about the losing & not the winning for most of you. Truly sad.

I GOT the message. Believe me, I did. This clown show will be allowed to continue because they need more time. Well, I'm a fan so I'll just have to put up with it. I have no control over what the Bombers do. Doesn't mean I have to like it. But I'll still be there for this team no matter what (sigh). Hey, that's some of the content, but not the message. What happened to my post you quoted? It's gone!

I was 35 years old the last time the Bombers won a Grey Cup. Most of you guys have never experienced the thrill of a championship run which is a real shame. It's awesome. It's special & something you never forget as a fan. I just hope I live long enough to experience my favourite team win another. If they do, I'll never take it for granted. Ever.

Holy Christ...you're right!! Why did nobody think of that? If it's so easy or just an afterthought then why hasn't it happened?

yeah, full on with the pedal down... Unless I see a marked improvement these last 8 games I'm pissed & fed up. We don't even lose with dignity anymore. The Bombers just embarrass themselves.

Which severely limits your options, basically to people who nobody wants. Generally people with opportunities for other jobs have been saying thanks but no thanks when the Bombers put together their shortlist in the last decade because of how dysfunctional the organization has been. We have no idea who Miller talked to as GM before he hired Walters as it's a secret list so I don't necessarily buy that theory hook, line & sinker. How many teams act "functional" when things go bad? The Riders, now there's an example of functionality. The Als with Jim Popp firing assistants & head coaches every 15 months? And Popp now a fourth time interim head coach? BC with Wally gutting Mike Benevides publicly? Yeah, all CFL teams except us are "functional" when it comes to losing football games.

Your last point I agree with.

Is there any team president that "needs the job?" Pretty ridiculous thing to pick on. They aren't ex-cons stocking shelves in a grocery store. Lawless mentions this as he thinks it's important so his comment is fair game. It's basically the whole premise of his story. Miller can walk away right back into his other businesses so he won't be pushed around. Even to the Board he answers too.

That was my thought too. The other thought is why have a BOD to begin with? Just appoint Miller President For Life?

Okay, let's revisit this if we go 3-15 & see if Lawless feels the same about letting these same guys keep doing their jobs. There'll be 15,000 people in the stands next year & the Bombers will be bleeding red ink. But hey, Miller doesn't need the job as he has a business empire so he can just walk away if he shits the bed as President & the team is nearly bankrupt. Somehow knowing that doesn't make me feel as good as Lawless does about Miller being in control.

Is Cabbie going to be part of TSN's coverage of Thursday night NFL Football? My gawd, I swear that useless network has auditions to find the most annoying & least talented broadcasters to throw at us when it comes to football. Rod Black on CFL broadcasts & now this dickface Cabbie on the NFL shows.

Durant would have started in Winnipeg. The Richardson pick to me was the same as the Etienne pick by Mack when Durant was available. I just said **** watching the draft when Walters picked Richards over Durant. I watched him at SFU for 2 years & he was the most dominant receiver in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference longer than that for 3 years. I had high hopes for Walters as he was supposed to be this CIS Guru when it came to the CFL Draft but I say he's been no better than Joe Mack picking players making the same kind of mistakes Mack did. I won't even talk about the job our US scouts have done bringing us talent.

These 8 Canadians start & get significant playing time.You think MOS starts them for 1 series & then benches one? What would be the purpose of that? Our American talent is the worst in the CFL as well which is why we start 8. Putting in another American & taking out that 8th Canadian doesn't help us either. We've had nearly 2 seasons to upgrade our American talent & it hasn't happened.

All Brown asked was is there a mechanism in place by MOS to deal with discipline & penalty issues on the team? Why is that a taboo question?

If you are an NDP, you can do no wrong. Ever. Or with the media.
