Most likely it was picked off too.

Can you imagine the outrage across Canada if Burke threw Ray under the bus?

yeah, what's wrong with the bombers anyway (I read that on my bomber app obviously they forgot too Was that his only one? I can't recall any he had - good one Rebus He had a 300+ yard game Against the Argos in 2011. That was the game where Kuale nailed him

I've heard some Bomber fans say the same things as the Rider fans (check above posts on page 9). The same situation would have happened everywhere else including Winnipeg. If highways are closed, you can't get to the game. If water is too deep, it's to dangerous to go to the game. Simple as that. On another note, Toronto would have had like 5 000 people at a game if this happened . In Toronto, they're called Staff, not fans

You are just okay with this signing but Romby Bryant come on down? Bryant has accomplished far more in his CFL career than Hinse likely ever will So has Jackie Parker but he's dead. OK but I don't see us starting a dead guy anytime soon. A team has drafted a dead guy before.....Starting one wouldn't be a shocker

When there are more and better ways to go about it...Yes I can.

BRING BACK MACK

Maybe Devin Arrington, but that would be it.

meh. An opinion is an opinion. No worries. No need to apologize for having an opinion.

So out of the expansion draft, the REDBLACKS no longer have, Hage, Glenn, Kohlert, and now Lee.

The problem with this Iso, is that our coaches are experienced, wether it is NFL, CIS, CFL, NCAA, the experience is there. Our QB coach is the only one that I read that has zero Canadian football experience, but has had experience with our coordinator. Our RB coach is new to coaching but years of experience in the CFL.

More NCAA & pro level experience. There are a lot of coaches out there looking for work who would be great additions at the CFL level. I'm not saying I'm against more Canadians coaching in the CFL but like Canadian qbs in the CIS with "supposedly" less playing experience & never get drafted, Canadian coaches haven't had the same experience coaching in high pressure bowl games or at the NCAA D1 FCS or FBS level. Or coached NFL or for other CFL teams. You can't compare the Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl to the Vanier Cup. Are Canadian coaches from the junior & CIS level ready to step in & be difference makers for a team like the Bombers who are desperate to win? That's the question that will be answered as the season progresses. BTW, I don't put O'Shea in that category as he has been part of the CFL for 20 years as a player & coach & has won 2 Grey Cups. He knows what it takes to win. But my concern is, do some of his assistants? There is pro experience. You can argue if they've been successful, but there is pro experience. There are 3 assistants that do not have pro coaching experience. Pierce, Tracy, and Charboneau, but Charboneau does have credit of being a guest coach in 2 organizations

Sorry iso, I have to call you on this one. 1) First, quality control coach is about one step above water boy in the grand scheme of things. Its just another set of eyes on the game film, and some of their job is to collect and sort it (from what I've heard, maybe this won't hold true for the Bombers). 2) You would like the staff to "encompass a lot more experience" but both our coordinators have been in the CFL for over a decade (with brief stints out). 3) This hire isn't meant to 'inspire a lot of confidence.' Its a quality control coach. 4) Re: cheap. The Bombers now have added a ton more coaches than last year (hell, almost double) which would indicate that they are spending quite a bit more in the coaching department in previous seasons. But yes, I am assuming a quality control coach came cheap, because its a low, entry-level coaching position... Great post, not sure why hiring another coach in any form should be considered a bad thing.. Especially one with experience with canadians and the cfl... I really start to see grampa simpson yelling at clouds whenever i see some of iso's posts.. And all I see is a koolaid drinker when I read your posts so we're even.

Good but easy question. Simple answer would be, less multi tasking, focus on your job, less stress in the work place,etc..

It really did. But having their announcers feud WWE style wasn't one of them

Kid hasn't even arrived here and already he has a Boulevard named after him in Westwood. Took Milt Stegall and Ken Ploen a lot longer to have that happen. Note there is no Hall Street, Brohm Blvd or Willy Way. True, but there are a lot of Willys in Winnipeg

I don't see Edmonton improving that much as well I don't see B.C. being one of the top teams anymore. How the Bombers do against those 2 and the East will be indicative where they'll finish.

Minnesota... The American Version of Manitoba I might try to sneak up for a game this year if I can get the wife to give me a weekend to make the drive up and back..

I agree. I generally don't mind negativity, as long as there is some substance behind it.

Essentially this. In any business, you keep any contact you have for like...EVER. I believe there were conversations, and maybe to the extent of "Hey Kyle, and Mike, Rick Worman has said that he's willing to work here if you're interested."

Bill Clinton? Is that you?

I love O'Shea. His players are going to go to absolute war for him. My educated guess in observing O'Shea's approach with his players is he'll find it extremely difficullt to cut/demote a loyal, hard working, high effort player who just isn't performing to the level needed. I've always said this was one of Jeff Reinbolds biggest achilles heals that did him in as a Head Coach. I found his biggest achiles heal was being a head coach.

What was the controversy last season involving Bob Irving? I cant remember...but I recall being amused. Wasn't it that Lawless broke a story and Irving went on a rant or something? I remember someone calling into H&L to ask Gary what he thought of Irving's whining and Gary was very gracious. Totally taken out of context Gary broke the story that Garth Butchko recommended that Joe Mack be fired. Irving ranted on twitter that he thought it was unprofessional that the leak came from the board. Listener thinks Irving was upset he didn't break the story first.
