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

https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/01/17/bombers-sign-outstanding-lineman-stanley-bryant-one-year-contract-extension/ Bryant has been extended one year.

I like the "the Bombers have a terrible offence and now that they signed Bighill the offence is going to suffer even more" Next line down "we should go hard after Lapo, hes a great OC and will really help our Offence......" So which is it?

I was referring to Simonise. Wolitarsky appears to be more of a possession receiver who can catch in traffic, punish d-backs and power ahead for more yards. I don't think we have seen anywhere near Simonise's potential yet, and maybe we never will. All the physical tools and talent do no good if the fire in the belly is not there. We just do not know 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.

see...told ya hahah

@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.

Then he is bad at his new job as the office is at Portage and Main.

Rod sunk his own ship disrespecting Reynolds when he didnt realize his mike was turned on.

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

That would certainly be a worst case scenario.

Well... they are from saskatchawan... odd choice makes perfect sense.

Never been the same since 2016/11/13... Might have had something to do with....

Nobody's going to trade for DD when he'll be a FA on Feb 15...

I'd respect Riderfans more if they just came clean on what exactly their relationship with the team is..but they won't. Appendage of SSKs online presence carefully filtering and spreading team directives? or just a passionate independent fan board ? Can't be both

The Trump Administration is constantly balancing a fine line..... between mendacity and incompetence.

of all our National talent..Simonese is the guy I am most excited/intrigued about..I watched a lot of camp..and practice and just watching him you know he is going to be good...if you didn't know who was who you would peg him as an import. The fire is there obviously as he played the teams and worked hard at it, and when thrown two (albeit only 5 or 6 times) he made most of his opportunity... Last year was is getting back to football mindset/shape and his re-introduction to a system and structure as he was basically on the shelf for 2 years...and from what I have heard from some people I have spoken with if not for his PED incident the Bengals would have kept him around as they loved his skillset and the untapped potential...also to consider how many Canadian University/Jumior football kids who play wideout actually get into game action in an NFL training camp...very very few...and invites to those camps pre mini camp don't count as they are basically meaningless.

and really he doesn't need to be...especially if we land a stud....but even so if we don't he is still primed for a big year now...He will be a better version of Fantuz in my opinion...which will be a very nice piece to the puzzle

As a moderator, I see no harm in speculating and if people want to share what they 'know' or what they've heard .. so be it .. like anything, take it with a grain of salt and don't treat it as gospel.

He just wasn't worth the lost time listening to.I usually enjoy listening to other broadcasters to see their opinion of their team and ours.When Rod was interviewed it just wasn't worth listening to.Not a little biased like most but straight up delusional.

maybe his job is to get coffee for the office.

Replacing a retiring Bob Irving on CJOB? I will show myself out....

RP got canned. His timeline basically indicates this. Also leaving Pats in mid-season.

Bombers aren't standing in his way but his wife is currently standing between Paul and his cell phone with a bat in hand.

One helluva move re-upping Bighill when we did with the Esks. on the look...Walters you're the man

Does this mean more Jamie Nye content on CFL.CA? He stinks to put it mildly.

Love it. Good riddance. The CFL will be better without him.

Dude. You showed up at the front door throwing nuclear haymakers. Of course you're going to get banned.

HAM adds Tommy Condell as WR coach, no doubt a future OC. Add two more cast-off s to staff from BC. Three holdover s from Austin/Jones staff given pink slips.

If they lose Reilly...

Does that mean he's gone? is it still Xmas?

Fixed.

Don’t think he has done Pats games in a few years their radio guy is Phil Andrews

Yup- very thin skinned over there. I mean... the **** that they say about other teams ad nauseum (which is fine, it is a local sports teams fan board) but man can they NOT take it in return. The site is a good one (if you are a rider fan) and an alright one if you are not, but wow- ease up on the ban hammer -especially if it's a rebuttal to a slight against a team not named riders... that just shouts "insecure".

LOL they are bantering about my trolling. It's amusing. They're also hoping I will send a pile of spam asking why I was banned. DUH BECAUSE YOU'RE A BUNCH OF INBREDS AND CAN'T HANDLE THE HEAT *******

Maybe CJ is bringing his spy to the Browns. 😁

Bahahaha. Well apparently because I made a comment in the bighill thread and another one reminding riderfans that they currently lack a GM / HC, Pbp/Fanboy, and QB, I have now been permanently banned by riderfans.com NORTH KOREA AT ITS FINEST!

This is the week that just keeps on giving!!! I can't read his statement cause he blocked me on Twitter years ago.

My mother, a Rider fan, is certainly pleased. She was very upset when they extended him. For some people, class and dignity are far more important than an extra win or two a year. Not sure he brought that but he certainly didn't have any class or dignity.

Stolen from 17to85, who stole it from Reddit...

At least he had the balls to get an out clause in his contract this time, unlike the other times when he just up and left.

People need to stop thinking this is about having players immediately come in and contribute. This is the first step in developing talent in other markets that can compete for starting jobs in future and thus building the brand over time. The NFL has been doing this for years in Europe and is just starting to see guys come in and make rosters/drafted in NFL.

What's not to get? It's about getting more eyes on the TV screens to generate revenue. As an example, I know people who follow a specific soccer team (overseas somewhere) due to a winnipeger playing on said team. They watch the games, follow the social media outlets etc etc. They did none of those things before the Wpg player joined that team/league. Bringing in international players will draw international attention...how much $$ will be generated from it...who knows? But nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I think the main goal is to expand media rights, attendance at games has stagnated.

I scoffed at the idea initially but I don't blame Ambrosie for looking outside the box here for potential revenue streams.

Sad sad day
