  1. It's Lapo's wifes name
  2. I've never understood this logic. I won't dispute that who the coaches are may matter to some of the more hardcore fans (who will likely continue to ***** but still go to games). For the casual fan I don't necessarily agree that it matters. I didn't grow up a football fan, there were no options to play football in the small town I grew up in. I became a fan because of Milt Stegall, Charles Roberts, Doug Brown. Even a guy like Jamie Stoddard had a bigger impact on me than Dave Ritchie. In the years since I've been on the fire Paul Lapolice bandwagon (on that bandwagon for the 3rd time). I've never considered not watching a game because Lapolice sucks at his job, although I have turned a few off early in frustration at the playcalling. I like Mike O'Shea, while also thinking he has made some pretty bad decisions. I've watched the Bombers play in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Ottawa. I wondered if traveling to those games was worth it sometimes when key players have been hurt and not playing. I never wondered if it was worth it because of who the coach was. I could be wrong, but I don't foresee a severe negative or positive reaction in regards to ticket sales because of who the head coach is. The win/loss record perhaps, but not who the coach is. If O'shea wants to bring both coordinators back next season, then I'll light my pitchfork and march with everyone else. If he's going to switch up the coordinators, I'd gamble another season on him. But regardless I'll be watching the games.
  3. I've never thought Lapo is the right OC for any offense. This was confirmed by trying to look at something of his on twitter and finding out he has me blocked, so I must have pissed him off during one of his previous stints here.
  4. how many times did Cahoon get drilled on a first down conversion on a crossing route from calvillo. I seem to remember Cahoon catching suicide passes being a big part of that offense
  5. The incumbent is Richie Hall.......
  6. wasn't he our safety his first season here? *edit* and top d player nominee as safety https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/blue-bombers-sign-safety-maurice-leggett-to-contract-extension-1.2864329
  7. So what you're saying is, 8 is more than 7?
  8. You'd appreciate my comment more if you grew up in the 90's playing Oregon Trail. God damn dysentery always gets you. Was a tongue in cheek joke about the computer game
  9. I don't know about that, dysentery left many bodies along the oregon trail.......
  10. this is what Bowman was preparing us for
  11. Winnipeg is now West of Regina? Or did you come to the wrong site?
  12. The part I try not to think about is the JSK still has NFL aspirations and Bighill is only on a one year deal.
  13. Stegall and Doug Brown won 0 cups, guess those guys weren't worth having either, should have looked for a better receiver than shoddy old 85 if we wanted to win
  14. I saw it was Brodbeck and almost didn't read it, so be glad twitter is blocked
  15. did you read the article? The portion of the loan this is referring to is the portion that was supposed to be paid from property tax from development of the old stadium site. Not the portion the Bombers are paying and will continue to pay.
  16. I prefer Winnipeg with the most points for. We've suffered through some anemic offensive outputs. A few years ago 353 points in 18 games, we're already at 199 through 6 this year. Not to take anything away from Calgary, I'm just happy to see a Winnipeg team that can put points on the board.
  17. interesting yes, although in the CFL I don't necessarily want to hear. If it's the NHL/NBA/MLB/NFL then sure, even if it make them look bad, they're getting paid well enough to deal with the publicity stuff. In the CFL I think they deserve a bit more of their privacy. If I get fired from my job, the reason is between me and my company, and I make more than some CFL players. So I'm ok with respecting players privacy.
  18. just personal opinion, I wasn't upset when he left.
  19. stupid penalties outweigh his talent. Good player, but I don't miss him.
  20. apparently my point wasn't clear. He said they have some responsibility not to be because they play football, implying the rest of us don't, which obviously we all should be expected to not be rapists and wife beaters
  21. So I have no responsibility to not be a rapist wife beater? Awesome
  22. the league also said they won't approve any contract if someone else tries to sign him. So he's been blackballed without any due process
  23. It wasn't that long ago many here were complaining about us using taking multiple receivers in this last draft.....
  24. It can be tough to find the middle ground between what's going to be a decent discussion, and what's a waste of time. I do find that almost anytime I open a thread and wonder why does this thread exist, that yes it's opened by BigBlue. On the flip side, I tend to come on to see what's being discussed, and not starting discussion myself. It may come down to visiting habits. I find when I have time to check daily, new small threads tend to be an annoyance because I'm caught up on everything in the big threads. When I can't get on daily and I come on after a week 20 new pages in a big thread can seem daunting and I'd prefer there were more specific threads so I could decide what to get caught up on. With that said, I'll read the content regardless of format. I get liberal with the block button for the people whose thoughts I don't want (and sometimes that ends up in an entire page being redacted. My guess would be the casual readers prefer smaller threads, and the every day guys prefer the big threads.
