Different characters but they are similar in the sense that they are both uber-rich techno geniuses who become super heroes/villians under a metal mask.

To me, when almost the entire team is collectively shitting the bed like that, it's beyond correcting a couple mistakes. There need to be changes. What consequences has Demski ever had for these repeated mistakes? Or any of the vets for that matter. Do any of the vets ever get stapled to the bench? Neufeld tonight was the first I can really remember, and that just as likely could have been due to injury rather than poor play (maybe whiplash from watching guys blow past him?).

Cue the "clean things up and we're good" excuse.

Fitting

Command center blew it again. Should have been PI on Daniels.

Cover team has done its job tonight. Not much room for Janarion out there.

Zach's too from that replay!

Wilson almost stayed on script but managed to hold on.

Lol accurate

Better johnson helmet than the ball.

Great now MOS can ignore all the missed plays and say see Biggie's still got it.

What the actual **** are they doing...

Might be one way to get out from under that contract.

Dinwiddie (I think) having to be restrained from going after an OL looked pretty funny to me!

TSN needs to cut back to the Arblows fighting with eachother on the side line.

New lock of the week contest - which Bomber will not turn the ball over.

Brady with his best Nic Demski impersonation.

Oh yeah there's some not so great salary management going on for sure. Walters carries his share of the blame for the state we are in at the moment. Dead weight and bad deals are crippling us (now and at least into next season). I'm assuming Bailey signed for a fair bit more than what we could have offered but we also let Janarion walk, only to see him sign a relatively small contract in Toronto. The fact that they couldn't find a way to squeeze him in was eye opening.

Partially guaranteed. He got the maximum guarantee which is half of his final year salary.

I don't think that's disrespect as much as it is a reality of being under a salary cap and that he was (unfortunately for him) behind some of the best receivers in the league. They were upfront with Bailey and told him he was worth more than what they could afford. Last year he chose to stay at below market value, this year he did not. The fact that the Bombers immediately reached out to his agent after his release, shows what they think of him. With Lawler and Schoen out, we should have the cap space to bring him back at a fair price.

Money, plain and simple. He turned down much bigger offers to stay last year but it's not realistic to expect a guy to keep doing that so they knew he wouldn't be back this year. I'm sure that if they had been able to make the numbers work, he would not have left.

I don't think I was too far off...

I doubt it. Bombers have already been in contact with Bailey's agent, according to Jeff Hamilton. Sheed also re-signed with us while Lucky was in BC so while they are friends, it's not like they are a package deal.
