Booch Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 But u need to factor in playoff cash too..u dont get there...u don't get none If we go to grey cup a guy like Chung would have made more here than the big salary he took to play for a crap team..and have his reputation take a severe hit too as to how good a player he seems not to be this yr GCJenks, Wideleft, Stickem and 2 others 5

So, someone like Derrell Walker doesn't want to win? Or James Ellingson? Naman Roosevelt? Brandon Banks, Reggie Begelton? Bryan Burnham? They all want to win. They all want to make money, as well by being allowed to showcase their pass catching skills. There are teams like the Stamps & Hamilton that allow them to have a chance to do both. I wish I could say the Bombers are one of those teams.

We don't have that here. That's a bunch of baloney. Other teams perfectly understand why a player might have less stats in Winnipeg's offence. Their earning power is unaffected by playing in our system, and demonstrating good team attitude and an ability to win can earn them even more. I get that you have a hard on of hate for Paul Lapolice, but he's not costing us FA signings or re-signings. You are out to lunch with this theory.

But you're also a die hard Stamps fan, and I feel that clouds your opinion on things sometimes......the Bombers do things the right way, and they get the right kinds of people in the organization.

Why do you bring this s h I t up all the time? When do I ever pump the Stamps tires here? Like never because I don't want to. You are my friend on facebook. When I post a CFL pic it's never the Stamps it's only the Bombers. Quit stirring the pot. I go back over 55 years with the Bombers. I was a STH for the Bombers from 1974 to 89 when I moved to Calgary. You want to have a conversation with me, fine but please stop about the Stamps once & for all, please. Do you go on the air & start trashing the Esks & Stamps?

Noeller Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 I honestly don't even think you realize that you do it, but you do carry a tone of "everything the Stamps do is better"....

I don't live in Calgary. And generally- up until recently, everything the stamps do is generally better as an on-field product. STamps as a whole though- suck ******* donkey dong.

If they're only concerned about getting stats, that's not good. I want players on the team who only want to win, and if they get lots of stats etc while doing so it's a bonus. But not their main focus.
