BigBlue Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Good to hear. Now if we can just sign Curran. I don't think we have any interest in Curran. Based on what?
Noeller Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Good to hear. Now if we can just sign Curran. I don't think we have any interest in Curran. Based on what? Was it not reported that it's us and Ottawa left in the bidding?
gbill2004 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Good to hear. Now if we can just sign Curran.I don't think we have any interest in Curran.Bombers definitely have interest in Curran. Reports have the Bombers and Redblack in a bidding war for his services.
Fan Boy Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Best thing about Brohm signing IMHO is folks can stop arguing about Glenn. Can. But won't. This person really understands the fan base!!!
M.O.A.B. Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Good. Now we know who will hold the ball for our best player last year. MinisterOfD5 and Doublezero 2
Westy Sucks Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Thank god for this. Not that Brohm is the greatest QB but he's steady enough. It would have been really hard for me to cheer for KG if got into our lineup. I'd still cheer cause it's the Bombers, but I'd be cheering for the other players out there.

Ah, the "I have top secret information" routine. Always helpful in a forum such as this. Thanks for your input, it's most enlightening.
northof60 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 For what it's wroth, I just sent out a tweet to a couple of the WPG reporters regarding Curran and Sears, and promptly received a PM from one of the reporters saying 'Sears is a possibility but not to expect Curran'.Again, for what it's worth.

Again, for what it's worth. Well that would sure suck. Yeah, it would. I think it's a glaring issue for us, the LB group. Getting a guy like Curran or Peters, someone with experience goes a long way in solidifying a weak spot for the team.
Goalie Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Which reporter responded back? Cuz i mean if it was Jim Toth or someone like that, not sure i'd take that very seriously. If it was Penton, maybe i would. He seems to be pretty in tune with what the bombers are doing.

I like DB and take his word as the truth but.... sometimes these guys are just guessing too.
GCn20 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah, Bauming said we weren't in the running for Bryant a scant 3 hours before we signed him.
northof60 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah, Bauming said we weren't in the running for Bryant a scant 3 hours before we signed him. Hey, I hope you're right on this. Curran was #2 on my FA wishlist. Fred C Dobbs 1
gbill2004 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah, Bauming said we weren't in the running for Bryant a scant 3 hours before we signed him.If Bauming has an actual source then I'd put some weight on this. If he's speculating, then I put zero weight on it as often he's got strange thoughts/opinions on teams plans etc.
GCn20 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Agreed. Several media outlets have reported the Bombers are in the running for Curran. Too many to ignore as being mistaken or rumor mongering.
Mike Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Teams know how to use the media as a tool to push their agenda. Some of what they say is truthful, some of what they say is out there as a smokescreen because that's the message the front office wants out there, especially around FA time and draft time. For example ... one "reporter said such and such in public" example in this thread is literally the exact opposite of what they said to me in private. And what they said in private happened. For what it's worth, I was told by a couple people today that the Bombers are out on Curran. EDIT - out on Curran could obviously mean if the price goes any higher. My guess is they've made their offer, it's not the highest offer but they'd still pay it if Curran opted to come here.
gbill2004 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 I just asked Bauming about Curran and he told me flat out, "It's not going to happen".
Tracker Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Damn, if this is true. We need a stud middle linebacker and one with CFL experience would be a real bonus. Now we have to pin our hopes on Hurl.
