So you're basically agreeing with exactly what Mike just finished saying....

He hasn't been there long enough...I don't care how big a "star" you might be, you have to earn the right to speak up and he hasn't yet. It only comes with longevity. If anyone's gonna speak up, it's a vet. If there's a problem with coaching, or if Eichel had a personal problem, then it should go through a veteran leader....that's how these things work.

That was made official yesterday....not sure when filming begins...

It'll never get that far...day 1 of Mini Camp, some new guy will impress and there'll be a post about "Well, this might be the year....got a replacement for Bruce Johnson now!!"

I think the point is more that you can't let it APPEAR like the kid is calling the shots. Whether the franchise guy does or doesn't have stroke isn't as important as the optics of a 20 year old punk American thinking he's bigger than the game.

Now, there's no question Bylsma sucks...he sucked as a player, he sucks as a coach....and I really don't think Tim Murray is much better.....having SAID that, when you start letting guys like Eichel call the shots, you have BIG problems...

Trust me, Flames fans thought they were winning the cup. Gaudreau better than McDavid and Monahan better than Draisaitl, etc etc. They are really the NHL version of Riders fans...

As an Oilers fan, I wouldn't even mind him missing a game, the way he's been playing...

Is this not a thread about the playoffs? Maybe an admin/Mod can branch this Jets talk into another thread....?

In fairness to Lapo and those screen passes, Dressler has had a lot of success with that over the years. Someone younger who can take on that role and have comparable success? I'm in...

Well known that TB works for WBB....

Here's hoping the weather turns out for them! Could be an awfully chilly introduction to Canada for some deep south boys...

Just someone messing around, I think...

thanks -- I thought it was one of their old logos....

...is a far cry from "over the top"....... I've worked with, and coached up, several PBP guys over the years. One of the best things I ever heard from a guy was "I try to start the season on a calmer note, and the closer we get to the end of the season, I build it up. In playoffs, I have the most excitement in my delivery of the whole season. If you blow your top early in the year, how can people interpret end of season (playoffs) excitement from you?" And I think that's a really good point. If you're over the top first game of the year through the end of playoffs, you're doing it wrong... Don't be the entertainment....don't make it about you.....just tell the story, let the game be the focus.

@EdTaitWFC The #Bombers add 2: RB Johnta Hebert (5-10/195, Prairie View A&M) in Riders camp lst yr; LB Jeremy Grable (6-0/200, Valdosta), last w TBay http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/04/18/hebert-grable-added-roster/

Me.....

I believe that's the old Montreal Concordes logo, no? *edit* No, that's some kinda other logo....looks retro.....maybe like an old school Als logo from the past?

It's nothing personal...I have zero doubts that Paul's a great guy.........but his PBP style drives me bonkers. And PBP style is something that is very polarizing...some people love one thing and others absolutely despise it. For me, I want a subtle, understated guy....just the facts...I don't need you to make the game "more exciting" by screaming at me. The game is exciting enough...you don't need to make yourself the focus.

Calling football is a unique talent...can't just be a hockey PBP guy and transfer. The TSN guys like Cuthbert and Miller are extremely unique talents, pulling double duty. Takes a lot of passion for the sport you're covering. I'm certain there's up and comers in the City who will hopefully get a shot one day.

And that would be a huge mistake and awful for listeners. You're not wrong, but man would that suck.

The guy's been back in Wpg for awhile now, and has only been working some MJHL hockey games (to my knowledge, he has no football experience), without getting a sniff of anything else. He either doesn't want the full time work, or he's not wanted. Either way...at his age....it's not happening. He's getting close to retirement age himself.

won't happen in a hundred million years.....it'll be Bauming, if anyone.....

They call him CJOB Sports Director, but I believe that's a title. AFAIK, Bob's been in semi-retirement for about 5 years now. Doesn't work during the winter...

...Actually Bob hasn't played a big role at OB for a few years now. He's been in semi retirement awhile. Only works during Bombers season, only covers Bombers now.
