Agreed. If amiability was Khari's only asset, we should pass on him. He has shown himself to be smart, personable and a student of the game, so if he is available, he ought to warrant an interview. I'm not sure that the past couple of years in BC are what we ought to judge him by- no durable quarterback and a horrible offensive line.

Fawlty Towers was the best mini-series sitcom ever. It was wildly popular but crashed when Cleese and his wife (who was Polly the maid) fell on hard times in their relationship and refused to be on the same set at the same time. I have the series on DVD and it never fails to make me laugh so hard that my sides ache.

Refreshing candor from the BC coach and GM. I wish we had more of that here instead of vague comments.

As much as I would love to see the Bombers go all-out to snag free agents and make big trades en route to a Grey Cup appearance, I hope Walters does not strip away the future of the team. It sure looked like the Riders did that last year and look where they are now. There should be no reason why we can't be competitive next season with some intelligent drafting, scouting and dipping into the free agent pool.

I disagree...as defacto OC in 2002, he showed quite a bit... What has impressed me about Khari all along has been his intelligence. He was never the most athletic but instead relied on his smarts, hard work and preparation- all good characteristics for a coach. Besides, he and his wife would be great additions to the community. He has a lot of good karma in Winnipeg.

Khari for OC with the Bombers!

I think Popeye caught him dipping into Olive Oyl.

As much fun as it is to gloat over the Riders' implosion, lets not get to feeling too smug until we have a couple of years of being over .500 and going deep into the playoffs. I am happy to see the Riders get beaten by a team with pathetic quarterbacking, but we have more than enough work on our part to be a contender and there are some serious questions about the coaching here that have to be resolved before we can move forward with confidence that next year will be a lot better than this one. Last year at this time, if we had been offered Sunseri, we probably would have taken him over Willy -Sunseri looked that good. Then the wheels fell of Sunseri completely and Taman, who had every right to think that Sunseri would have been ready to step in for Durant, got caught with his pants down when Sunseri failed. Taman deserves to be criticized for not realizing earlier in the season that Sunseri and whomever they had as the #3 QB were just not good enough and not bringing in someone to shore up the deficit. But damned few teams can survive their #1 9and pretty good) quarterback being knocked out for the year, and the Bombers look to have some talent in the bullpen.

There is a big difference between attacking the man and criticizing his work, and Etcheverry has left himself very much open to having his body of work criticized. Agreed that stats can be twisted, but no matter how you look at it, the Bomber defence collapsed for the same reasons that Etcheverry's defences have collapsed in the past. The surest way to prove that you understand the current situation is to be able to predict the future of that situation, and many here predicted exactly how Etcheverry's defence would unravel over the course of the season. Complaining that we just didn't have the right kind of people on defence doesn't cut it- it would be little short of insane thinking to keep on trying to do the same thing when it isn't working for whatever reason. If a manager cannot adapt his/her strategy to take into account the people he/she actually has as opposed to those wished for in an ideal universe, then incompetence is at work. A musician who can play only one song doesn't survive (C&W music excepted).

I disagree with you, Rod. its the 99% that give the others a bad name.

Gotta agree with this- Ottawa's bigger problem was not the O-line, but receivers, and NI receivers at that, so it would make sense for Ottawa to take Demski. But Desjardins has defied logic before.

I could see Taman going hard after Brohm. Not beforehand?

Lawlessmust have burned a number of bridges with that BS speculation. Nothing new for him, I suppose.

In it on paper only.

Isn't that a little young to be drafted?

There is no joy in Mudville- the mighty Riders have struck out.

Yup. Not at all surprised on these.. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

If the Riders had an actual quarterback, they could win this thing.

Ouch. That sack had to hurt Reilly,

More like a mega-dose of Lunestra.

Can't see either team providing more than token resistance to Calgary (and I'm not talking about pot).

Its not a penalty if you don't get caught.

You must have a pretty sad sex life. LOL!When I started dating again after being alone for three years, I didn't even remember who got to tie who up first. Are you Jian Ghomeshi? You are confusing B&D with S&M. I don't have enough money or sycophants to be Ghomeshi.
