Anyone questioning Westermans ability and contribution to the Bombers obviously did not watch many Bomber games last year...The guy is a force...but what else could we expect from a rider fan...I think the take about Westerman being a 'loose cannon' is laughable...Riders would ****** this guy up in a moment...what a poor comment.

bombers draft in review.
I thought that quote came from Chauncey Gardener in ' Being There'....I guess Peter Sellers could have been mistaken for H.R. Pufnstuf..In any event the winds of change will certainly be blowing for the Bombers at IGF..

bombers draft in review.
Looks like this happy group got their guys and were elated it fell that way...How come so many things are going right so far this year??.. If it continues we might even see a huge jump in the standings....Holy Hannah you have to feel great so far this year as a Bomber fan...big thumbs up.

Royal Blue uniforms are officially back!!
Geez....does that new uni ever look good....Especially the pic showing Dressler in his new colours...Gotta luv it...heh heh..

bombers draft in review.
When Walters went with Loffler at 19 I was elated...This kid is going to be a CFL all star..IF he can stay healthy....All he does is make plays and is as tough as nails...I really liked the Couture and Corney pics and Loffler just put the icing on the cake...A lot of other solid pics in the latter rounds and I agree that Walters gets an A...Finally showing us his in depth knowledge of the college ranks..

Bilukidi released from Redskins
Much like the riders who have a phobia about singing frogs, I would guess...Walters says Bilukudi might show up next year....with a big accent on the 'might'...Meanwhile I guess we'll all be singing a wishful merry tune all without holding our breath.

Draft predictions.
O line and Singleton is my guess...although I do like the trade Floyd mentioned...9 and 19 for Demski and Lauzon -Seguin...We would certainly be ahead of the game there but Jones would have to be in a very generous mood and the football gods would have to smile on us big-time.

ANDREW HARRIS: A Homer to Believe In
Not to mention, Stegall and Lapo worked the tsn gig, and most likely had a lot of good natured run ins...Regarding Harris and James...I know they both are/were fantastic athletes..played both hockey and football, in James case NHL (leafs)...James was one of the youngest guys ever signed...could kick, catch and was a terrific back...Andrew has his work cut out for him matching James' career..Maybe Harris won't make the Jets but I know he's going to run wild on the opposition this year and get the Bombers into the playoffs. Optimism runs supreme.

hefney signs 1-day contract, retires a bomber
Thanx for everything Hef...You were always a big hit with me.....and a great hitter who gave it all..

Bilukidi released from Redskins
The nfl have greased Christo's palm plenty with all of the various gigs he's had...I don't see him that hungry for CFL football UNLESS his luv of the game dictates something different...Doesn't look like he'd make enough of a commitment, if any, to garner first over all this year...It would be a stretch for Jones and his gang to take him on spec...I like the idea but I think the riders would say nada.

Final Draft Rankings
Nah ...he'll get a look...After the nfl is through with gutting our prospects, the cupboard is looking a little bare...Of course we do have Hubbard...not a pic or o line but hey..

Bombers FA Signings 2016
I hope Richards shows us something this year and can elevate his game equal to Demskis..Approach the riders about an even up trade and make everybody happy..

Bombers FA Signings 2016
I believe the riders turned an even deeper shade of green (envy) when Andrew decided to come home...Sask. wanted him bad, and if you read any of their comments about the time Harris was available, they were certainly in the hunt..I'm glad he made the right choice and he gave the riders a ' thanx but NO thanx'...It kind of evens the score ,as far as I'm concerned, when you think that we lost a first round quality pick in Labatte to the pull of 'cmon home'..One of the best moves we've made in the offseason for a very long time...Luv it and I'm going to luv it even more when Harris runs the ball down their throat.

Some of the best 'get togethers' I've ever been to... Fantastic food and friends and you just have to get to know a few Ukrainians and get a social invite...Just watch out for the accordion player at the door..

Offensive Analysis?
....Does this guy write for the leos....Sounds like he's trying to pump MB;s tires and get him some luv on the coast...lol...Of course he's not the oc there, and that might be a good thing, as they have a lot of other problems.....As for Marcels time as oc, especially here, I'll never forget how bloody mad and frustrated I got last year at his play calling...especially in the red zone... Inept and glad he's gone.
-
Offensive Analysis?
Oh no, you can't blame Bellefueille..His record speaks for itself and he has been so super successful every where he went....Give me a break for cripes sake....This guy better talk to people in the know from Mont. and Ham....he might learn something.

Around The League Off Season Discussion
Turner was a force....key word being 'was'...If it was turf toe, like some are saying, then I can see why he had a bad year in 15'...Guess we'll find out if he can turn up his game with the leos.. Looking at what has transpired with that club lately that might be a little tough...I'm picking them for the basement...Wally or no Wally ...Turner is definitely a good addition for them along with Moore....the place where exBombers seem to be landing.

Doug Brown Explains
Don't agree with the 'lag time' comment or 'getting up to speed'....Growing pains are experienced by every club bringing in new players....Certainly it takes time to jell BUT some teams like the Redblacks put a hole in the argument that you need a lot of 'lag time'...as a Cup appearance in yr. 2 will attest to that...We will be afforded the time this year to get it all together and that will come down to coaching...We know our talent has improved as well as coaching...A huge improvement can be realized in 16' and Bomber fans should and will expect that much and a playoff spot.

Game 74 : Kings of Leon @ Jets
Good one in the ol Wayne and Shuster hour with regard to Eagleson....extortionist and 'crook', that's for sure, just ask Bobby Orr...

Wiecek Article: Pressure Mounts On And Off Field For MOS
Far better talent to work with....improvement in the coaching ranks...it's totally up to Mike now...NO excuses....I expect to see a far different result than we have been witnessing the last few years...With all of the changes, I'm optimistic for sure....now O'Shea has to deliver.

Khalil Bass - Road to the CFL
WOW...one word for Bass...'perseverance' ...Just goes to prove if you want something bad enough...it'll happen...Good lesson for aspiring players..AND can we please block the fact that Etch. ever coached here..or Bellefool ...nightmarish is a word to describe their time here.

CFL Draft
I like the sound of Loffler...No quit in this kid and IF he can stay healthy....solid pic...Gagnon is a monster,another solid pic if we go that route.
-
Coaching Staff 2016
Hire Bud Grant to coach the coach.....Can't have too many football minds past or present on board...Heck we could have as many coaches as riders have in their scouting dept....Get the cheque book out..After that cynical rant, I don't see where it's a bad thing for a capable guy like Lapo or O'Shea doing 2 jobs...You certainly get to know every idiosyncrasy of every player...which can be a good thing.

Jones willing to take offers for #1 draft pick
Interesting turn events...Jones would like to pick up a couple of high pics for his no 1 BUT is there anyone worth that in this draft....Certainly Onyemata would be but he's headed south, so he'd be a latter round shot for someone...Can Jones get a dancing partner in May???? Maybe not if nobody is willing to part with pics and/ or a quality player on their roster.
