Quest for Middle Linebacker
Cough, cough... You actually said that? LOL! BTW, I don't disagree with you at the MLB position.

First round of final cuts
if that's the reason & it probably is, if our defense fails then that's on the entire organization. Not the player.

So did I. Too many bad memories of 2015.

Bombers cut Apodaca, Frederick and 9 more
Just proves that a coach's IQ is based on the talent level of the players he has at the time. Kelly was OC & considered a great football mind as he had Matt Dunigan as his qb in 1992-93. When he was HC in 09 he was stuck in the late 80's & early 90's with an offense of that vintage with 2 running backs as well as Stefan LeFors & Michael Bishop. Big drop in Kelly's IQ. Alienated everyone. Epic fail.

Holy ****.

Pre-Season Week 2
I read that Nichols will play as long as he feels he needs to. I guess that means if he wants to play the majority of the game that O'Shea will let him.

Randy, that game was a **** tsunami!

I was at that game as well. I never saw a qb as bad as Boltus. I never saw a head coach as bad as Tim Burke. Those 2 were meant for each other.

Don Matthews Passes Away
I have a Don Matthews story. I was a volunteer at CJUM FM in 1978 when I was a student at the U of M. I was sent to a news conference the day before the Bombers hosted the Eskimos during that season. I was the last guy to interview Esks Head Coach Hugh Campbell as I wanted to hear what the other media people were asking before my turn. Plus I was a rookie & a little nervous so I didn't want to just jump in there. Started interviewing Campbell & Matthews kept interrupting in the background yelling, "Let's Go Coach!! Let's go!! Everytime he did that I had to stop my tape recorder & start over. This happened about 3 times until one of the media people there told him to be quiet & knock it off. Gotta say that Campbell knew I was doing this as a volunteer & not being paid & he gave me some really good answers to probably some bad questions. That was Matthews though. The Don. Interviewed Ray Jauch & he was gracious & helpful as well.

Matthews won 5 more Grey Cups as an assistant coach & DC with the Eskimos from 1978-82. Ten Grey Cups. That's mind boggling just in itself.

People weren't as gullible in 1973. Trump's base, Breitbart & Fox News will just say it's fake & that everything will be okay.

3 stars plus HH first preseason game edition
I'm not trying but he deserves the right to try while he plays. He may turn out to be one of the greats. He got us into the playoffs & that's a start.

Winning that game was so sweet! First Grey Cup berth in 22 years. Especially after 1983 in the WCF when Tom Clements separated his shoulder in the 1st half.

None of those players that said hi ever won a Grey Cup for the Bombers but they were great players in their own right. They were proud to wear the Blue & Gold & fans were proud to cheer them on. Without those guys we wouldn't have a team. Like Jonas in 1971, Nichols led a resurgence of the team last season. I'm glad he's our qb & I hope he has continued & further success. BTW, it takes more than a great qb to win a championship... It's a team game.

Don Matthews Passes Away
iHeart, maybe I came down a bit hard on you but you can see from the reaction of the CFL, the comments here & on facebook as well as twitter he was a special coach. I apologize if I came off like a jerk.

Don Matthews Passes Away
iHeart, seriously... sometimes it's best to not say anything at all if you don't know the answer. Do you even know who Don Matthews was? How many games he won, where he sits on the all time coaches winning list & how many Grey Cups he won? How many teams he coached in the Grey Cup? Maybe you should look it up instead of one of us telling you.

Who says we don't want to win??? Of course we do. The team wants to win a championship. The GM, coach & players do. Wbbfan & TBurgess, both your expectations are ridiculous. Win or the season is a failure??? Nichols is a loser. C'mon man, that's just stupid.

I don't think it was an "I don't care" look. More like, "I have no clue what to do. Mommy..."

And I guess you're that guy.... Notice no question mark. Go get 'em. Set this coaching staff straight.

Are we really surprised about the shooting in Virginia this morning???

Lots of players get hyped then don't live up it. Cutting Apodaca is no big deal.
-
Bombers cut Apodaca, Frederick and 9 more
Like I had said, nothing here. They made a decision to cut him. Should we question every cut they make & ask why? Chances are, they'll bring in a fourth qb later. They have their 3 qbs & seem happy with them.
-
Bombers cut Apodaca, Frederick and 9 more
Could be. But like I said teams signs free agents so does it really matter? Teams have to keep the qbs they develop. Other than Mitchell, Durant (until Jones showed up) &Lulay, qbs go where the most money or best deal is.

Surely some of you don't think there's a conspiracy here, really? Players get cut.
