Fatty Liver

Good interview, thanks for the link.

Congratu Congratulations to Gabe, hope he has many more BD's. Did Walter's actually make a statement or do an interview today? Link?

You lost me after "Dancing Gabe's birthday", that was a classic non-sequitur.

Big difference, Lirim proved that he had the skills to do the job well in his first year, Brohm never managed to show us that he had any skills.

Hmm, 7 defensive linemen eh? Looks like a good place to start for, at least, a serviceable player. We may be witnessing a Ti-Cat melt down with 2 weeks left till free agency.

They need to have a backup on the roster anyways, so if they can afford the import position run with Lirim and Castillo until things wash out. It'll take until game 4 to find out which version of Lirim shows up this year, good Lirim or baaaaad Lirim.

If Walters wanted to know Dressler's reasoning for signing with Wpg. he might have just asked him. Quotes from Dressler “A lot of the interest started with my relationship with Coach LaPo. Him being the Offensive Coordinator and having worked with him in the past, I’m very comfortable with his system and what he brings to the table,” explained the two-time CFL All-Star. “I understand how his offence works and the spots where I would be best utilized in my opinion, and that’s really the same opinion that he has to develop me as a player.” Dressler received calls from both LaPolice and Willy in the past few weeks, which contributed to his ultimate decision. “They expressed how much they wanted me to be there and be a part of what they’re trying to do. It meant a lot to me to hear from those guys throughout the whole process,” said Dressler. “They were genuinely interested in having me be a part of that team.”

Edit

Not saying Medlock wouldn't be a good addition even with his passport, I question whether he will survive to F.A. unless Austin is happy to roll with Hillbilly Hugh O'Neill.

With that thinking it's likely he walks out the door only to be signed by a GM with more vision. Then what? Sign Medlock,... maybe, maybe not. The Bombers could find themselves right back following the Riders model of picking discarded kickers off the scrap heap. Is Paul McCallum still alive???

Being an un-drafted prospect the Bombers probably got Lirim at a bargain price in his first year and they definitely benefited from his pay/performance rato. Second year was poor but I don't think they should use that as a bargaining chip against him. Treat him as a great Natl. asset and sign him for the going rate with faith that he will perform well again. If he stinks out the joint this year then they can think above moving on. Lirim may have squandered his plans for an NFL career for now but I would predict if he can put a few seasons of consistent kicking behind him he will be getting a look in an NFL camp sometime in the future.

I don't agree, this is far too rash. Walters uncovered a gem, now all he has to do is fix his brain.

Enuf said, now hush.

Me too, he's got the physical tools and most of the mental problems can be patched up with super-glue. If Lirim isn't a Bomber he'll torment us for 10+ seasons.

Hate to bring this name up but Joe Mack was director of player personnel from 84-87 and he did a very good job recruiting.

I think Lirim is gone, the Bombers have been trying to re-up him since mid last season without success. I suspect he wants to play closer to home and family, but not a lot of openings out East.

Won't be too long till Jovon starts putting the boots to the RB's and the rest of the CFL.

Was this live? Link please.

I'm okay with one or the other but not both. That's too much money to tie up in two unhappy RB's who don't really like to share.

Word on the Rider's forum now has it that the Riders were obligated to pay their bonuses even if cut as they were deferred payments from previous seasons and probably guaranteed in the contracts they signed with Taman.

Explains the delay, Bob was probably away on vacation. No press conference??? They're missing a great promotional opportunity if they don't have one.

Speaking of foot soldiers I wonder if Pontbriand makes the club this year, he's getting pretty near to the end of his rope.

Stamps has not been the same player since Washington flattened him breaking his ribs in the end zone early in 2014.

It's not still Ritz Foods, is it?

Messam is in much better game condition now than he was two years ago, faster too. I think in the last two years he's begin to take his career more seriously and realizes the pay cheques won't last for long. He might be one of these "nasty characters" that Leggett said was missing from the Bombers makeup at the end of last season.
