Whoosh. You missed that one.

You can take player loyalty and shove it up your Muamba as far as it goes. It's overrated compared to $$$.

That's why I used the word "arrives", never said anything about "developing" him.

That rule also applies when visiting the US, I spent 4 years down there and learned to keep my mouth zipped when those subjects came up.

Glenn would be a stop-gap until the "next one" arrives and probably couldn't advance the team in the play-offs any further than Nichols.

I've had the same thought, if Walters strikes out with both Nichols and Durant he's playing with fire. Can't realistically bank on Franklin or Burris coming to Wpg., so the best case scenario would be if Glenn takes over and shows that he is still capable of putting wins on the board, which really wouldn't surprise me with a good team around him. I think he could run LaPo's cautious style O just as well as Nichols in time.

"Bubblehead" couldn't tolerate an answer longer then 10 seconds, it was supposed to be an interview, not a debate. The interviewer asks questions and the interviewee answers them, interrupting in the middle of an answer by asking another question is just a method to disrupt and discredit the interviewee. I can't tolerate this style of journalism as it just makes everyone dumber. God help us.

Throwing a young QB like Davis to the wolves doesn't mean never giving him the opportunity to play until he is "ready". This in fact can't be determined without game time. I think the key is not leaving him in too long so that the other team begins to pick his bones clean. Best if after a time of faltering badly he can be retracted and replaced by an old vet like Glenn who can absorb a licking without having his confidence damaged. I think the way Wally handles Jennings is a very good example of the proper way to do it, let him play but moderate his progress and have a ready alternative on hand to step in when needed.

Who is MBT?

So McDuffie is free to kick the doors for an NFL deal along with Burnett and Bass, who else? Not one of those 3 are "easily replaceable" so a bit surprised Walters is letting them drift before they're extended. It seems like the landscape of the CFL is shifting a bit with the personnel becoming more transient and the allowance of essential keystone players like Bighill to wander. Any club on the upswing like the Bombers will have a hard time with continuity if they have to replace 5-10 set pieces every year. It reminds me a bit of scrub football, you form teams out of who ever shows up to play. Not good.

That was Mack's job the first time through Wpg. and his reputation as a talent scout gained in that time earned him the GM position the second time through.

The Bombers need to have the capability of handling $400,000 plus in their QB budget for their starter anyways, even if they are unwilling to give it to Nichols. The next "savior" to rise is going to eventually demand this type of money. Within the salary structure of the league they can't go shopping for an elite QB with $325,000 in their pockets.

You make a good point about Glenn, I think he would work very well in LaPo's system as well, still I wouldn't feel confident going with him as the starter for next season. As you said he's the perfect backup. Going with Durant would be okay for one or two season if Davis is indeed the "future" and he is given the opportunity to prove that in real game action.

Avoid playing hockey and shoveling snow once you pass 50, no good will come from either activity.

I think you have to preface this conversation with "thanks for saving our asses Matt, unfortunately...."

God, they could grab Thorpe for nothing and now they don't want him?

If Glenn decides to move on I wouldn't mind having Lefevour as a backup to Nichols. If Nichols went down I think Lefevour could post a .500 record behind a solid O-line which is decent expectations for a backup. He might add some diversity as a red-zone QB as well, did I mention that he runs like a bull?

It took Walters awhile to ditch Burke as well, it wasn't announced immediately after the last game of the season, even though everyone pretty much knew it was going to happen.

Happy to see the Riders rebuild is right on track. @TSN_Sports Former @sskroughriders, @Ticats DE Eric Norwood announces retirement. MORE: http://www.tsn.ca/1.624935

Possibility, the Bombers may not want to tie their long-term fortunes to this guy in case he bolts after their fifth consecutive G.C. victory.

Better known as "Manuel" the skittish waiter.

This game is worthy of re-watching.

A quart of rye washed back with a 1/2 cup of ammonia will be needed to erase this mental image from my lobe. Thanks.

All the more reason to be careful where they are selected in the draft. A high pick like Richards is proof enough that it doesn't always work out as planned.
