Hahaha... I love Dr trying to tell Jacquie (one of the most well-sourced posters on this site) her info is incorrect....

only watched the first few minutes but seems like there's some good fundamental coaching techniques in there... good that it's being taught to NFLers but this is obviously stuff that should be implemented at the grass roots level... I've long maintained that NFL and CFL players could learn a lot about good tackling techniques from rugby players....

Do you honestly believe he made that post innocently with no idea of the social media attention it would garner? Like I said earlier... he got the 15 minutes of fame he wanted... he got to embarrass the club... he achieved his goal....

Well congrats to that guy... he got the 15 minutes of fame he so desired...

Very true.. in a dream world we get Bilukidi back next year... he and Thomas can split rep 80/20... or whatever the situation calls for....

The thing that kinda bugged me about it was he keeps saying "this is not a joke"... sure he actually intends to give the tickets and $5 away... but this is absolutely 100% a joke... he posted this ad to try and get and laugh and try and get some local viral attention... and he achieved his goal.... The best part of it all would be to see the Bombers win both of the last 2 games and make the playoffs...

I really like Jake Thomas and I agree with tracker... I'd like to see him used more... I would be awesome if we could get ourselves a solid Cdn DT to split reps with him (not necessarily a 50-50 split)...

Yes, but as a reporter his job is to regurgitate the info given to him by the team... therefore he would qualify as a fairly reliable source...

I disagree completely... the Bombers and Riders "signatures" are, by far, some of the worst football jerseys ever created... I really like the Lions and Als... I might be bias towards the Als cuz I like everything the Oregon Ducks do too... and those Als jerseys are very ducky...

I said this a few months ago...Bombers are getting new jerseys next year and will be a spin on the retro royal blue. Nervous about "a spin" but will accept anything provided the current logo and Royal Blue are included. I'm not as concerned about the colour as I am about the style... though I like royal blue better than navy blue... if the jersey was something like the 70s/80s style with navy blue as the primary colour, I would be ok with that too... Isn't his wife a Winnipegger?

Maybe you wanna make very sure Huff will come here first... before you fire Walters and O'Shea. Otherwise, be ready to scrape the bottom of the barrell for your next GM and HC. Obviously there would have to be a due diligence process... and I was exaggerating the financials.... but the point was I would do whatever it takes to get him here...

you know ive been to many bomber games and ive never seen a 50/50 be anywhere close to 100k. Its usually 40k give or take 1-2k. I'd assume if someone didnt win last week due to ineligability, it would start at the $40k they couldnt collect not at a cool $100k. And every game has shown the previous 50/50 winner. This does seem fishy**edit: nvm I see trueblue said they bumped it up a bit but bumping it up 60k is a lil more then a bit. Lol How many Bomber games have you been to this year? It has never been anywhere near as low as 40k all season... usually around 75-100k... I believe the Banjo bowl was around $140,000... EDIT: the winning amounts are actually on the Bombers website... http://www.bluebombers.com/50-50-winners June 19 - 36,695 (73,390 total) July 2 - 58,623 (117,246) July 10 - 46,658 (93,316) July 30 - 51,748 (103,496) Aug 14 - 46,830 (93,660) Aug 29 - 49,163 (98,326) Sept 12 - 78,213 (156,426) Sept 25 - 41,700 (83,400) Oct 3 - 41,108 (carried over to this saturday)

I said it the first time this rumour emerged... and I'll reiterate it again.... If Huff is available this off-season and is looking for a GM/HC gig... I would fired Walters and O'Shea immediately.... take whatever they make, double it, and offer that to Huff...

I'm also quite curious.... "congrats Jim O'Shea, are you by chance related to anyone on the Bombers?" Wonder if this will help get a few extra butts in the stands....

So wait... On the one hand you said "I also find it amusing to see how many people take things at face value." in reference to what O'Shea said about releasing Boyd and now you're quoting him to support your theory? Pretty convenient way of trying to make your argument. Not overly effective, but convenient. I'm still waiting to hear what evidence supports your theory, by the way. I have no evidence, that's why it's called a "theory". If I had evidence it would be a "fact". I'm speculating.In my opinion it's a likely theory, but it's just a theory. And I'd think there are certain contexts where O'Shea is more likely to be truthful than not. Just to clarify, in you opinion, it is a plausible theory.... meaning it's technically possible... not a likely theory... which would mean there is a high probability it is correct... hope that clear up the argument for everyone

The biggest issue is how much have we actually progressed?? especially when we're now likely to have a worse record in year 2 of this regime...

As hilariously pathetic as this would be... it's not completely unfathomable...

I'd bet Don Matthews is chomping at the bit to get back at er.... seriously though, you make a good point... if Huff or Trestman are available I would hope we would put on a full court press for either... but otherwise you're probably looking at another rookie up-and-comer....

You know what they say about guys with small hands... They wear small gloves...

I think you're right... judging on overall career, I'd take Glenn.... if it was 5 years ago, I'd definitely take Glenn.... but if we're talking about a back up QB to Drew Willy for the 2016 season... I think I would rather have Matt Nichols...

Yes it does sounds familiar.... except without the Grey Cup win.... most would be a lot less sour on Taman and would be willing to forgive the recent disastrous years if we won that 2007 game...

four grey cup appearances in 8 years two wins one win... 2007 he was the Bombers GM...

Even if there were no concussion protocols like in the 70's, playing with a stiff neck wouldn't be smart. The stiff neck could also be the result of swallowing a Viagra pill too slowly. Good one, Nigel Powers...

You don't think Nichols for a 7th rounder would qualify?

you're undervaluing the "last-chance-to-make-the-big-show" angle...
