Derek Dennis is such a loser.  How does he call someone out for "talk like men face to face" when all he does is tweet?

[17to85]

Not to mention his money chasing going to the riders. More I learn about that guy the more he seems like a shitty person.

[Noeller]

Complete tool....Bighill eats Singleton's lunch. Get ******...

[mbrg]

Internet fist pump.

 

Now back to regularly scheduled real world.

[Eternal optimist]

Not to mention Singleton's contract with the Eagles is just a futures contract... literally Philly just filling the bench.

Wellington Altus is owned by the husband of our BOD vice chairperson Dayna Spiring....so not as off base as you are making it sound. But it ain't cheating so screw em all.

No different than in 1935 when the Winnipeg business community decided they weren't going to lose to those Regina bums anymore and ponied up to start signing US players. Along came Fritz Hansen and the legend of the "Blue Bombers" was born.

F*** I love Bighill.

[Tracker]

From a sports perspective, days don't get much better than yesterday. Bighill signs a 3 year deal, Chris Jones jilts the Riders after signing an extension (love the irony) and the Jets soundly beat the Vegas Knights who ended the Jets' season last year.  Come on, 2019!!!

@DarrinBauming

Kyle Walters says the #Bombers have agreed to terms with National O-lineman Michael Couture @MCouture59. Couture still needs to put pen to paper, but now he will (assumedly) not hit free agency February 12.

Critical signing, as he enters his fourth CFL season in Winnipeg.

That would certainly be a worst case scenario.

I don't think Bryant is officially under contract yet though...

[Booch]

mere formality if that is true...which i think isn't....he is here this coming year...I know that as a 100% certainty

Bryant has been extended one year.

[Booch]

[Bigblue204]

Nice. Bombers have been having the best off season so far and it's not even close.

having continuity with your management staff...and treating players right goes a long way

[Bubba Zanetti]

Just ran in to Adam Bighill at the Tim Hortons on McPhillips. Friendly guy. Guess his offseason job hasn't started yet

Isn't it nice that that's what we are now?  You don't have to look too far back to find a very different situation.

[NorthernSkunk]

Let's hope this team can get just mean enough when needed to take the cup.

Just saying all this "nicely nice" stuff is great and all..... but I think teams that have a bit f a mean streak tend to go further

[M.O.A.B.]

adding 2 stud receivers goes a long way. 

im assuming Dressler wont be back.
