Some huge names on that list. Going to be interesting to see who gets protected, who goes to FA etc. I think if O'shea becomes our HC you may see some of this TO FA's come our way. Wouldn't mind seeing inman here!

Yessssss two scouts! When you double Zero it's still zero

What I feared the most! A rookie CEO leading a rookie GM who will likely lead a rookie HC.... I hope they can bring in an experienced HC or this maybe another long 4 years

I don't mind that they are interviewing him. I'd rather see them interview 5-6 guys even if they don't wanna come here or even if they are set on letting Kyle be the GM. At least they show they are willing to look for someone not just announce some guy has been hired without even doing some leg work. To me as a fan it shows the club is changing their stance for once! By interviewing more guys you learn what they want/expect at a position and learn what they like and don't like about the team. From there you can change the negatives and actually have people wanting to come here for a change!

Humm sure wouldn't it be weird having KJ as the head coach now and MB as the OC. Reverse as what they were in Hamilton ha ha.

For those saying Dickenson doesn't want to come to Winnipeg because of the situation we have are wrong. He was interviewed for the Edmonton opening before Reed and declined because his family likes it in Calgary and wouldn't even consider moving north a few hours. Dickenson will remain in Calgary until a hc job opens there.

And GM!

Anyone at the game.....wtf is with them playing hells bells every time we go on D??? annoying!!

If Walters is smart (and he seems to be) he would let Miller hire a GM and stay as AGM. He has witnessed up close in person how many careers have been ruined in Bomber land the last few seasons. Butchko,Crowton, Lapolice, Burke, Mack, etc. may never see another job in the CFL with the except of maybe Lapolice and possibly Burke going back to DC somewhere. If he's smart he will sit back and learn for a few more years under what we all hope will be an experienced GM and not jump the gun to quickly and lose any respect he has gained in the league.

I guess what i'm asking is......if we had to deal with having a poor football team for a few years while we had some time to pay off the massive debt of the stadium would you prefer that over having a good team and having to live in the old barn? Personally I can handle the poor football for a few years while making adjustments to balance both. I just don't think the club can succesfully do both right now.

Can we though? Can the club afford both or did they bite off more then they could chew with it?

Which would you rather have? A poor record for a few years or a brand new state of the art facility to watch football games in? I know the cost of the stadium isn't directly related to the poor football performance over the last few years but the club likely cut cost in areas that have affected the play on the field. So would you rather have a playoff team with a winning record and be sitting at Canad Inns still or a crappy team for a few years and a nice stadium?

Geez Ford is taking everyone out today!

Wahoooo

Actually if Ottawa takes a teams QB then that team can protect 2 more NIs.

I watched, but made good use of my PVR. With free Centre Ice right now, I was channel surfing between hockey games on Saturday. I'd go through the PVR of the Bombers game to see what was happening, but that was it. I blew through the entire game in maybe an hour, skipping ahead for most of the time we were on D. I did the same thing. Watched the first quarter PVRd the rest and went to the movies with the kids. Came back and just skipped through. First game I can remember truly not caring about....sad really! And BTW wow do you get free center ice?!? It's free for everyone until Oct. 19. I frickin' love it, but it may cost me my family if I keep it past then... On Shaw? I don't think I get it on Bell. Maybe I do IDK! I know it didnt get the last two Jets games damn BELL!!

Anyone else not impressed with this?

Well Kory Sheets went undrafted, was picked up by the Dolphins had one carry for 5 yards and was side lined with an achillies injury and never played in the NFL again....now look at him!

Handled internally??

Just Winnipeg's media at it's finest!

The last 2 Friday games from the downs has been slow. The light at Waverly and Bishop is messed up and is only letting like 3 cars through a light! It hasn't always been like this and we have made it to the game in 30 min or less for most games. Once the light issue is fixed it should be back to normal. Also the route seems to change from driver to driver. Some take the perimeter to wilkes, some take it to grant some take it to pembina some take back roads. All are within a few minutes of each other and I have found it to be a great option. Also for those who want pre and post game shows. Ask the bus drivers to put the radio on for the bus. Most have gladly turned it on for us to listen to on the way there or back. I always take a radio anyways just in case

Full on meltdown mode at RF.com. Amazing how fast the beast Rider team ever is falling apart... On a similar note. Paul W said on TSN1290 last week that the Bombers win over the Riders on the Banjpo Bowl is now less impressive becuase they lost 2 more games after that.....That's a pretty dumb comment to make. The Bombers beat the Riders hands down with Sheets playing and they were mostly uninjured at the time. If anything it's more impressive that they managed to take the #1 team down about 15 notches and expose them for who they really are.

Would you rather no sponsors and have to pay more to attend games? I think I'd rather have a government corps use this as a tax break and aleviate some of the cost on the fans. If not ticket prices would likely soar forcing fans to stay home. And you don't HAVE to use MB hydro. You could pay Saskpower to come install a line to your house if you really want! No you can't, at least not if Hydro says you can't --- C.C.S.M. c. H190 The Manitoba Hydro Act Powers of corporation with approval of L. G. in C. 16(1) With the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council the corporation may © require any person generating, transmitting, distributing, or supplying power, to supply such power to the corporation as the board may from time to time require or designate; (d) within such territorial or other limits as the Lieutenant Governor in Council may from time to time prescribe, control and regulate the development, generation, transmission, distribution, and supply, of power in Manitoba, and, for any of those purposes, control and regulate the flow of, and right to use for the generation of power, or any purpose connected therewith, the water in any lake, river, or watercourse, or other body of water in Manitoba, and the taking, diversion, storage, or pondage of any such water; Too much reading for a Friday. I suppose if you got approval and had enough money you could but really whats the point? Still I'd rather have any support for the club then no support at all!
