Judging by tweets from Zurkowski and Lawless, they're likely going internal for some reason (likely the only way they could find a guy who would keep Chappy as HC)

as of yesterday, he is no longer considered in the running for the job....

The longer we go without an announcement, the more worried I get.......

It's certainly a TRIBUTE to the RCAF logo.....but it's not *THE* RCAF logo....

that is not the RCAF logo....

Comedy Network did the full run on Canada Day this past summer, I believe, so somebody at the networks has broadcast rights to it.....you can bet that new content will only be available on Crave, tho...they're doing everything they can to sell that turd of a service.

Arash Madani ✔ @ArashMadani Per sources: The #CFL fines over 20 players for improperly wearing socks during the Grey Cup. Unprecedented # of dress code fines for a game

This....seems like they might be leaving some potentially good candidates by the wayside because they're so desperate to keep Chappy. As Dave says, "if they want him so bad, why not make him GM, too?"

gary lawless ‏@garylawless 52m52 minutes ago Can tell you that @REDBLACKS asst GM Brock Sunderland as been told by @MTLAlouettes ownership that he will not be hired as GM. gary lawless ‏@garylawless 44m44 minutes ago At this point, can also tell you Danny Maciocia is not in negotiations with @MTLAlouettes and has only had one formal convo.

the fair catch rule is one of the worst things in all of pro football....

I'm willing to give them more time and see what the rest of the offseason holds. The arms are still going be really good next year...

It comes up on here often.....which numbers are retired, or "retired" by the Bombers. Ed Tait is doing a wonderful series on who's worn which numbers over the years http://www.bluebombers.com/blue-by-the-numbers/ And if you haven't been following along, you should be. Here's a little tidbit from it, that will come in handy to help quell future debates: The Bombers haven’t formally retired numbers, but the following are officially no longer available to players: 11 – Worn by hall of famer Ken Ploen, the face of this franchise during his playing days from 1957-67 and later into his retirement. Ploen also wore 89, as did many players of that era who played both sides of the ball. 28 – Jeff Nicklin was a decorated Bomber from 1934-40 before becoming a decorated soldier in World War II, passing away on the battlefield in 1945. The winner of the Most Outstanding Player Award in the West Division is annually presented with the Jeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy. 75 – As a tribute to Tommy Lumsden, who played end, defensive end, tackle and guard for the Bombers from 1951-54 but passed away at the age of 25 in a Winnipeg hospital while suffering a gall bladder attack near Beausejour. The Tommy Lumsden Trophy is presented annually to the Bombers’ top Canadian player. That information is passed down from one equipment manager to the next and Brad Fotty, who has been in the position since 1990, has since put Walby’s 63 and Stegall’s 85 out of commission. The same was done for Bob Cameron’s 6, but when the club signed quarterback Dominique Davis – who asked for that number – the hall of fame punter gave his thumbs up for it to be brought back. Other numbers – like Doug Brown’s 97 or the 1 worn by Roberts – are not available for a few years after their retirement as a sign of respect, but with close to 90 players brought in annually to training camp, football teams simply can’t retire the numbers of all their greats. Once a player is signed by or traded to the Bombers, he is asked for his top three number choices. CFL veterans get first choice in an unofficial priority list, followed by NFL veterans, draft choices and rookies

Anyone who doesn't worship the Simpson's 1st 11 seasons can get the **** out as far as I'm concerned...

Not to mention he's probably a nice enough guy, if you met him on the street...

You misspelled misspelled... *edit* sorry I was beaten to the punch...

Absolutely not true.... Not in terms of Diehards vs Fair-weather's.... Not even close.

we have WAY more die hards than the Riders, that stick with the team through good and bad, and the Riders have a lot more passive fans who cheer when times are good....

The vast majority of their so-called "fan" base...

How quickly we forget.....trust me, a few more losing seasons and they'll really falter. Before 2007, it was NOT like that in Saskatchewan...

He won't be an FA.....technically he is because he adjusted his contract (same with Stanley Bryant) but he'll absolutely be back next year. Signed a 2 year contract and just helped the team by renegotiating the terms a bit this year, to help with the cap...

His brother Sean is my cousins best friend...they do a ton of work in the Canadian film/tv industry...

It's outstanding...best new Canadian project since Corner Gas. A Winnipeg guy, Dan Skene is heavily involved in the project with some stunt work and fight choreography. If you have KODI or something, check it out...

With 1 year left on his contract, I'm wondering if the first domino to fall is Wade extending Walters. Then the absolute first order of business is extending MOS. Once you have The Trinity locked up and ready to roll for the foreseeable future, then you can get to work tweaking the roster for a Cup run next year...
