Curious that it's only Osh mentioned as a re-up so far....

Counter point: **** the Riders, and it's in our barn.....

At TD MB right now... Kinda want th m to announce it in here to see the reaction...

*exhales*

I read somewhere yesterday that the Bombers have an offer on the table for him, and told him to field as many other offers as he wants, but to come back and talk and they'd be waiting.

I think there will be a mass exodus to follow him wherever he goes.... But it remains to be seen if that isn't necessarily a good thing.

Some mildly interesting stuff on Bonfire last night.... Bauming indicated that O'Shea very much "runs things at Princess Auto Stadium"... That he's the one who is in charge of everything. Re: Kent Austin and why he would leave a cushy job in the NCAA, apparently he has expressed interest to people in the CFL about coming back again, according to Farhan Lalji. Farhan seemed to think he'd be a good fit in Winnipeg having played here before, but also said that Jordan Younger would be a good choice as well, and might be the only way to keep him from returning to Toronto with Osh.

Also thought it interesting that the East didn't get a single player nod tonight. Not even Pate or Gaudaur.

How close to being a starter is Vibert? He's a natural C, no?

Literally just signed a contract extension like two weeks ago. Not going anywhere for a long time.

I dunno... Not saying what's right or wrong but the general vibe so far at the various Grey Cup Week parties (we've been wandering room to room) is that people really want Osh to stay. I don't think the hate has trickled down from the ravenous mob yet. It might get there yet, but it's not there as of now from what I can tell...

Why would Faj not be the starting QB in Edm next year? I ******* hate the guy, but they were a more than competent team with him in charge.

He does a great job on Handled Internally... No surprise at all that he's doing this. He'll be awesome.

There are approximately 50 posts about this so far.... Most logical answer so far is JY, if for no other reason than to keep him from jumping to TO as Osh's DC. Every single team in the league, with the exception of Ottawa, would toss their guy for Osh if he said he'd come there....

This is my concern... People are so ******* spoiled after the last decade, they have no idea how bad it can get. If we make ONE wrong move After Osh (trademarking "AO" as a demarcation "thing") we are so ****** and back to Mack/Burke 2013....

Okay I'm feeling less stressed now.. ha ha. Thanks buddy!

Who the Christ is Howard Berger? And I'm betting the only difference between Bombers offer and anyone else is autonomy... Which may also be no difference, but IF there's a difference it'll be that. Maybe Wade said "changes..." And everyone else says "do what you want".... That would be the only thing.

Well if others were getting offered a 100k raise from other teams then maybe they'd have been allowed to walk as well. Yoshi would have been a Bomber forever of he wasn't getting a league high contract to be a non blindside tackle. All things are not equal.

Bombers have routinely said they'll never stand in anyone's way so this permission means nothing other than the bombers continue to do the right thing as an organization....

What in Christ's good name are you talking about? Writing on the wall? 1 year contracts? He's never signed less than a 3 year deal....

/thread.

Are we all talking about the same Mike Miller.....?

My issue with all of that is nobody here has ANY idea who's to blame for any of it... It's absolutely possible that all the problems are Oshs fault as Booch insists... But we really don't know who's making what decisions. At the end of the day, the biggest problem might be that Osh is giving people too much freedom and he needs to take charge again.

Based on this season, I think when Zach has a really good OL and receivers to throw to, he can still be elite... When he doesn't have the right tools, Arbuckle certainly looks better.

I will guarantee they don't. All people see is "Competitive team every single year that went to the GC every year from 2019 to 2024 and one of the greatest Leaders Of Men in league history".... Also: Took a franchise from the depths of hell to a GC in about 5 years. Everyone wants that.
