kelownabomberfan Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Five years ago today Mike Kelly had his infamous "handled internally, not talking about it" presser. Much has changed. #Bombers http://scratchingpost.thespec.com/2009/07/mike-kelly-says-its-a-nonissue-and-will-be-handled-internally.html Jethro 1
Nasty Nate Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Kavis lost his mind a long time before his so-called rants. Kelly thought he was still chief pilot of Lord Lyle's fiefdom. Neither man enhanced his status. Neither man works in the CFL. (although a move is underway to place Kavis with a bottom-feeder or the league office)

iso_55 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Memories are made of this....Good times, good times.
do or die Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Only Kelly... could have his team lose a Banjo Bowl by 45 points, then suggest, postgame (CJOB)....than anyone who complains about it.... is "not a real fan" Imbecile...
iso_55 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Somewhere between 1993 & 2009, Mike Kelly lost his mind. Either that or Matt Dunigan raised his IQ substantially.
Mr. Perfect Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Well things were rather shitty around here for about 5-6 years after Dunigan left for Birmingham. Granted Kelly was long gone after '96 but it was definitely some dark times are we lost Dunigan.
bearpants Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Who woulda thought the day we fired Mike Kelly.... we were nowhere near rock bottom! saskbluefan, Blue-urns, Mr Dee and 1 other 4
Armchair GM Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Who woulda thought the day we fired Mike Kelly.... we were nowhere near rock bottom! True that. Under Kelly, the Bombers were a massive unknown. You didn't really know what you were going to get. I remember being in the Montreal airport on a flight delay, watching Bishop's first game on TSN when we were on a losing streak, fearing we might not win another game all year with him at QB... and then we beat someone (I think Toronto) because TEdwards decided he was going to be superman. The score was something pathetic like 13-12. I got super drunk that day... That was nothing compared to part of 2012 and 2013 under Burke. I just felt numb watching that team flounder it's way to nothingness. I even voluntarily passed on going to a game because to go on a fishing trip, and couldn't find a taker for free tickets.
Arnold_Palmer Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Oddly enough 2010 was an exciting year. After the Mike Kelly drama. We lost something like 9 guys by 4 or less points but we had a young team with tons of talent that had a lot of heart and pride and never gave up. Even though we came up short you could tell we were on the cusp of something great. We went 7-2 to start of the year in 2011 but unfortunately it went all down hill from there. It's nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel here in 2014.
Brandon Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 I would put Burke's post game interviews as bad as that one. Also taking a knee was a much lower moment
tacklewasher Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Also taking a knee was a much lower moment This. This is the lowest point in the last 5 years. To give up with time on the clock was unbearable.
mbrg Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Only Kelly... could have his team lose a Banjo Bowl by 45 points, then suggest, postgame (CJOB)....than anyone who complains about it.... is "not a real fan" Imbecile... I had to miss that game due to the birth of a child. Every once in a while she gets an extra hug for making me miss that game.

iso_55 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Well things were rather shitty around here for about 5-6 years after Dunigan left for Birmingham. Granted Kelly was long gone after '96 but it was definitely some dark times are we lost Dunigan. C'mon, we had TJ Rubley. He passed for over 713 yards in one season.

Couldn't even use the tickets as bait as the fish would have gagged & spit them out. Chaosmonkey 1
kelownabomberfan Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Posted July 16, 2014 Couldn't even use the tickets as bait as the fish would have gagged & spit them out. No, the fish would have just sat under the boat, giving the tickets the thousand yard stare, until you took a knee and gave up trying to catch them. Adrenaline_x 1
Adrenaline_x Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 That mike Kelly Interview is what finally did it for me.. What a tool. You can deflect the questions without being aggressive or an idiot.
iso_55 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 The post game interview on 'OB with Bob & Mitch after the Montreal road game when he reamed them both out on the air was it for me. I wanted him gone after that. Guys like Burke, Reinebold & Zaleski are just inept & in over their heads as a head coach. Kelly knew what he was doing. I think his behaviour was calculated. I think he felt because he was Lyle Bauer's buddy, he could do & act anyway he wanted because he'd protect him. He showed no one any respect; players, fans & media. Unbelievable arrogance. He deserved everything he got.
holoman Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 That mike Kelly Interview is what finally did it for me.. What a tool. You can deflect the questions without being aggressive or an idiot. That interview made me like the guy. Winnipeg media deserved what they got in that scrum.
do or die Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Ya, we had Rubley....and Dr. Jeff...and the Blowing Samoan, at OC.... Great offense, alright.
