The Board needs to be accountable to someone. Right now, they aren't. Cute that you think that's not a problem.

You could be right. I guess its just tough to compare directly, especially when we've changed the spots we choose to use NI starters.

Maybe. I'm not so sure. When we talk about depth, that's guys like Stephan, Sherman, West, Labbe, Lucas, Swiston, Kohlert, Volny. Is that so much better than Fritz, Browne, Donny O, McKinlay, Mayne, Stephenson, Oosterhuis? Younger, for sure, but youth doesn't really help us win football games right now.

What's ridiculous about it?

If they're actually serious about getting rid of the leak, they should clear the entire board, guaranteeing that the one who leaked the news will be gone. This "If we ever find out who did it, there will be consequences" is just the same hot air as we've heard from the board a hundred times. They are not interested in real change, just keeping their spots.

As someone who lived in Calgary, I can say this isn't really true. The biggest hassle for me in Calgary was getting around. It's so damn spread out and if you have friends in different corners of the city, be prepared for some real travel time. And traffic... oh boy. I'm sure it's worse in places like Vancouver and Toronto, but I've never experienced anything in Winnipeg remotely close to rush hour on the busy Calgary thoroughfares.

Is our Canadian talent that much better now than 2009? I would disagree with that. Our receivers and running backs have gotten way better, but we've stagnated or gotten worse in pretty much every other spot. OL is worse, DL is worse, DB is worse.

You know that most Canadian players are special teamers and backups right? They can't all be starters and all stars.

Also, Poblah, Volny, and Woodson

I think Miller is going to come in with some good will built up. Last thing he needs is to start a war with the media.

I hope Buchko cuts his holiday short and is available today. You can't just fire the GM and then hide in the States. He needs to be a leader and face the media today.

I don't understand why we always have to reach back into the past for all our hirings. We need to clear out the Board of Directors and everyone all the way down from there to the coaching staff and bring in some fresh blood. People that aren't tied to the successes of 25 years ago and all the failures since then. It's time for a total overhaul from top to bottom.

Alouettes look great

I still can't believe we're doing this again. Moving on to our 4th GM in 5 years... unbelievable. And who will be in charge of hiring the next GM? The board? Buchko? I see this getting even worse before it gets better.

No wonder they're so incompetent. Half of them are morons and the other half are corrupt. Plus two kickers.

Why do we even have a CEO if the board has the power of veto on every decision he makes?

Back to normal? Doubt we ever see the Als return to their previous level of offensive dominance... that ship has sailed. But I do think they'll be better. A win would not surprise me.

My guess is that the board is still divided on Joe Mack, and the member who leaked this news wants him gone. It's going to be pretty hard to vote to keep Mack after this.

That would be such a "Blue Bombers" thing to do. Leak to the press that a guy is getting fired, then fire his boss instead.

You too, chief.

So you admit that you basically just pulled your last post out of your ass?

This isn't true. He's on record as saying, as recently as last year, he really wanted the job in Winnipeg. Not sure where you got this.

How about sticking with Walters as GM and Moll as player personnel director? I feel like Moll has done his job pretty well. I like that Walters has experience as a player, as a coach, as an AGM, and running a college football program. He might be a better fit than people think.

Jesus just pull the trigger. Now the team sits on this "recommendation" for a week before doing it? God I hate this organization sometimes. Zero leadership.
