Crazy talk! Tim Burke has been and will likely continue to be among the best DC's in the league. 4 consecutive seasons in the GC, winning two of them? Our most successful season in the past 5 years was the one year he was our DC from start to finish. BUT... the situation in Winnipeg would never have worked for Burke or the Bombers. Nobody wants to get unceremoniously demoted and told to work for the next guy in line, and the incoming staff wanted to show they were heading in a completely new direction; that meant shedding basically the entire coaching staff, including Burke.

Do you know where I can get some good sunglasses? In my defense, those were some pretty impressive deals

Wow. LOL

I thought the argument is that he shouldn't be released because there is a chance he could re-offend. But drunk drivers do get released from jail once they've served their time. To borrow an idea from Iso, can anyone guarantee these guys won't get wasted and hop behind the wheel the moment they get the chance?

Personally, I'd like to go back to carrying around swords on our hips. Less innocent bystanders that way. That and I was a fencer in high school, so I think I'd have... an edge

Maybe it's a shitty comparison but I'll throw it out there anyways as I feel there are some legit parallels... if Lisa Gibson were found alive suffering from shock and severe post partem depression, would some of you be advocating that she be locked up indefinitely? Or was her crime not 'grisly' enough to warrant such treatment?

LMAO

Do you know where I can get some good sunglasses? I feel like I'm missing something here...

Not gonna lie .. I read this as @dog_fart .. That was exactly my intention It's not some unfortunate typo

From the Freep: Meanwhile, import running back Travon Jones (5-8, 171) has tweeted the Bombers have invited him to training camp. The Bombers are light on running backs, having not re-signed either Chad Simpson or Will Ford from last year’s team. So far, that tweet is the closest thing to an official announcement I can find after 5 minutes of googling... which, for the record, is about 3.5 more minutes of googling than most Winnipeg sports writers have likely done in researching Jones.

Unfortunately, that's one of the main criticisms I've seen about Willy's game... that he is prone to being a statue from time to time.

So you're telling me that my Boatman jersey was a poor investment?

Sounds like there is an obvious solution to my woes... I need to buy a cottage.

We did no such thing, he retired on his own terms which I respect enormously. Did he really though.... Why wouldn't he of retired before the dispersal draft then.... We could of kept Miles potentially had he done that. That's an interesting point, but it's not Edwards' responsibility to make sure all the right strategic moves are being made at the right time. He chose to retire when he did because it was the right time for him (we assume), or perhaps he decided for himself following the expansion draft that he didn't want to return anymore. Who knows. I for one am glad that TE retired as a Blue Bomber, and not a recently drafted redblack.

Retro 80's for the big fat win. Mods, you can lock the thread now

Agreed. Seems to me he defended some guy accused of being a racist, and in turn was called a racist himself...? It's a riveting tale filled with many twists and turns. That and he doesn't control what other people say to him.

I for one like the dark background. Looking at a site with a purely white background is like staring into a lightbulb.

Sorry, the direct quote is: Sims-Walker is under contract until Feb 2015. So through the 2014 season only.

He's under contract til 2015 according to Darrin Bauming, but that doesn't guarantee he's actually coming back.

And heat when I'm trying to read it at work Looking forward to reading your blog, JBR

That's what this conversation was missing... grammar police! To serve and correct.

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said. I'd really like to see Matthews back, and would have liked to see JT Gilmore return as well. I like Mainor when he is on his game, but his stupid penalties and Vega returning make him easily expendable. Solid B from me at this point.

but... we haven't had a gooder since Roberts... OR to a lesser extent Ried. I'm a big Garrett fan, he was a force to be reckoned with right up til his injury. Didn't exactly look out of place in Sask either.
