  1. Well it isn't here....down there ...very dif. story
  2. Age is a factor when you try and go up against very talented players who sport a 23 or 24 on their birth certificate
  3. Should have done that years ago when IG first opened....Third best among Cup winners of all time...c'mon
  4. Good luck to Willie BUT age alone is going to be a big factor....The nfl have their choice of young and upcoming players...Would Willie fit future plans in the long term in Fla.....doubt it and his pr eligibility makes his signing a little doubtful....Soooooo.'c'mon down to Wpg.' Willie....or I guess it should be c'mon up to Wpg. from that area
  5. Lapo deserves another shot at hc...When he had the gig here it didn't work out too well....Certainly not the talent we have on the club today and as I recall not a happy dressing room...BUT the failure and his eventual firing definitely wasn't all on Paul....so good luck to him...Don't exactly like how Desjardins operates...he seems like a cut throat type of gm...just my opinion....Lapolice sure knows our players and staff...it's strength and it's weaknesses (not too many of those) so I expect him to do some schmoozing of our players and staff...How successful he'll be at convincing someone to come on over to the capitol is anyone's guess...I do know one thing and that he is going to need a quarterback....What the Redblacks have at present in their stable ain't gonna cut it soooooo who does he go after...I'm going to take a shot and say it most likely will be Arbuckle...He showed a lot of promise but playing with the caliber of guys he had in Cal. could have made him look better than he actually is....I think Lapo will turn to Nichols IF we cut him loose...Masoli 'maybe' but IF the story out of Ham. is true that they want to go with Masoli as their no 1...that would make Dane Evans a qb. Paul would definitely look at..In any event it's going to be another off season of significant movement...Walters better start talking serious with our fa's with Lapo on the loose

    He's just a no-nonsense kind of guy...lol....Seriously we worked hard to get that elusive Cup and I believe Mike O wants another one

    We kept McGuire over Bennett and I thought Bennett had a lot of upside....so there's that...IF McGuire gets a chance to really show his stuff there could be a few surprised faces around here
  8. If the news out about Collaros is true and he's headed back to argoland ...I wonder what his feelings are about the situation...Comparing our O Line to the arenogoods,I'd say Zack would be happier with ours...Breaks downs like T.O. had last season and allowing their qbs. to be punished bigtime could eventually lead to a shortened season for our Cup winning qb....It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out but Collaros better be prepared to get on his horse to stay alive...IF the story is true today that it's a done deal...Zack to T.O. all but done deal...

    Why have free agency in that event....Just throw the doors open and go at it...Sounds rather farcical to me...If no one is abiding by the rules and regulations in this league, maybe we should reneg. on the Collaros deal ...keep his contract and to hell with giving them the first rounder Of course I'm being facetious ...and we would look like a pariah in the league...but really...why make rules if nobody wants to abide by them
  10. I think Andrew will have 2....but the one with the leo's will have to be less prominent

    Maas in Sask. as oc.....heh heh.....Faj better watch out for the gatorade bucket and or headphones coming his way if he hits another crossbar and or doesn't get the ball where Maas had decided it should go....Gonna be fun times in saskabush...I'm going to luv it.....I just hope they sign him long term
  12. Things seem to be shaping up.....I can't imagine Streveler wanting to go anywhere else....The guy luv's it here....Now if we can figure out the rest of the qb. situation?????
  13. Hush Puppies.....LOL....guys on here will most likely think they're quiet dogs , throwlong....They were really comfy though back in the day....Made by Greb...a Wpg. shoe company by the way

    Collaros survived the concussion protocol in the last season game against the stamps....He was hit pretty hard when he took off for a 1st. down....I couldn't believe there wasn't a flag tossed on that one...total miss by the refs...However the point is he bounced up and carried on without a hitch....Will that continue on??? No one can say but his play through out the last 5 games of the year sure proved that he can still play this game at a very high level....No quarterback is immune from injury and I don't know if we're willing to take the chance....Nichols has injury history as well and we don't know really if he is 100 percent going into next year...Walters has a few decisions to make ....quarterback being a tough one....I don't think the Bomber management are prepared to anoint anyone as things stand now....This is where gm's make their dough....

    He sure looked good throwing that dart to Harris between two defenders in the Cup.....Streve showed he has the touch

    Tommy...Tommy......great little qb. back in the day.....But I doubt he leaves his coaching gig to play again....could try
  17. Stickem replied to JCon's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    I believe he goes by an alias....Samuel Clements.....but he may be available

    Geez Machoka sure resembles that actor Ned Beatty in the movie 'Deliverance' ...I think he'll have to do some deliverin' if Buono gives him the green light...Seems like eons since his days with the Esks.

    I'm willing to choke down a little crow...BUT the sentiments expressed then were certainly out of frustration and those gawd awful games we played back east...Add to that the statement...right from mangement that 'we have no plan to bring in another quarterback' when we found out Nichols was done....Which brings me to , I wonder if we hadn't have brought Collaros on board , would we have had that Cup parade...My answer...not likely...This club did a lot to garner criticism over the season BUT certainly did a lot more to overcome adversity and garner the praise they deserved the way we finished...What is it someone said....'winning changes everything'...and a few of us certainly have changed....Mike O..3yr. deal on the horizon...and good on him
  20. Look guys..we don't need to worry.... if someone pulls the pin on us in fa and we need a top end replacement we'll just send Big Willy J around to talk with them....wearing that belt he had on in the Cup and saying...'C'MON DOWN TO WINNIPEG'....I tell ya we're in good hands
  21. ANDREW MILLER.........for cripes sake ...is there no such thing as proof reading anymore....The article was going great to that point......then it crapped out
  22. As sad as it is to say this is very much a business.....and a 'what have you done for me lately' production wise....Mike O has a lot going on for him in that respect right about now.....Zack Collaros has a lot going for him also...The jury is out on Matt Nichols and I'm sure he understands the business end of things very well...In the final analysis you do what's best for the club and that judgment is going to be made by Walters and company....It'll be very interesting to see how it all plays out
  23. Like I said...teaching job ...vs. a lucrative contract....no contest...AND teaching jobs aren't that secure anymore...especially what you hear going on in Ont.
  24. Very true.....because she now works in Ont. doesn't mean you can't transfer
  25. Teaching job ...vs, lucrative football contract...c'mon....Alot on here are supposing Nichol's is going to be the same after his shoulder separation....What if it ain't and w let Collaros walk without making an attempt to sign him
