Still need 3 more GMs to reach our goal of 10.

Why did your co-worker take Buck Pierce fishing?

Our 4 best receivers, all projected as starters, are all slotback's: Moore, Denmark, Kohlert and Watson. Obviously they can't all play slot. Denmark could move to WR but he struggled there and really excelled at SB. Same with Moore in BC last year. How do you see this shaking out?

Plus bonuses.

If I recall correctly, Ford was decent in pass blocking, correct?

I'm shocked...thought Boatman was going to be the cornerstone of the OL turnaround going forward. In all seriousness, for months I coudn't figure out why he was still listed on the Bombers roster. Might be the worst OL I've ever witnessed play last season.

Thats not good.

again.... Yuck.Im ok with sitting Anderson for a guy like Ted, but when it comes to guys like Jake Thomas and Ryan Lucas.... not so much. DLs rotate throughout the game so it's not like Anderson wouldn't play.

Another NI option is a rotation on the DL with Jake Thomas and Ryan Lucas.

@FarhanLaljiTSN: Arland Bruce just suggested to me he may retire. #CFL #Als

It was reported the Bombers had the highest offer in for Craig Butler. Alexander also said the Bombers made the best offer of multiple offers. Many feel the Bombers overpaid for Nick Moore.Those are just a few examples. Can't always control where a player decides to sign. I think we just draw a line in the sand & say that's it money wise when we could do more. And we don't. That's how I am reading this. We were told we'd be aggressive in FA & to an extent we are. But let's face it, Hamilton has been very aggressive doing things I thought we'd be doing. It's very frustrating. We need a guy like McCune to shore up our MLB position & bring a lot of toughness. Instead, we'll have some cheaper rookie inside getting torched.Bombers offered Butler more money than Hamilton did. What exactly did you want the Bombers to do...kidnap Butler and force him to sign a contract? He signed with Hamilton for personal reasons. Can't control that. Do you have a source that says we offered Butler more money? Thanks. I read a report or it was from a Bomber media persons twitter.

On McCune: @PentonKirk: At last report, the #Bombers are waiting to see if they have someone in the pipeline who can play MLB.

@FarhanLaljiTSN: Hearing that Arland Bruce has been released by the #Als. #CFL

Lapo is only interested in HC opportunities, not OC.

You do realize there's 8 other teams in the league, right? If we trade away spare parts, it guarantees we GET him. What makes you think he automatically signs with the Bombers if Ottawa cuts him?

Not saying it'll happen but wouldn't surprise me if we trade some of our NI depth at DB and maybe a low draft pick to Ottawa for Kevin Glenn.

Yes.

The "2012 highlights" video that was uploaded in December 2011. No doubt it's full of clips from the future. Yep saw your reply on twitter. You are definitely correct there. Gotta respect Bauming for trying to support a colleague though. I like Bauming.

@PentonKirk: #Stampeders trade kick returner Larry Taylor to the #Alouettes for draft picks. #CFL @CFL: MORE NEWS: Jock Sanders has signed with the @CalStampeders. Details to come. #CFL

@DarrinBauming: @MorningBigBlue @PaulWiecek I was watching his 2012 highlight tape from McPherson earlier today.

His response to whether he's a good pass blocker: @TravonT1Jones: I do what I love and I love the game of football so whatever comes with it will get handle accordingly! #ilovetoblock

Today's press conference: http://m.bluebombers.com/video/index/id/94795.

I was at a practice last year where Jim Toth tweeted that "Buck Pierce is looking great today at Bomber practice". Buck threw a total of one pass that day. That must have been the moment where Toth decided to glance at the field and see Buck throw a pass. The rest of practice, Toth and the rest of the media were busy laughing/socializing and giggling at a video on one of the media's laptops. I was seated near them in the stands so saw it all happen. It really bothered me witnessing how someone in the media could report something so false. It boggles my mind how someone like Wicek still has a job in the industry.
