September 27, 20177 yr comment_294344 TJ Thorpe is no Jim Thorpe. I don't get what all the fuss is about.
September 27, 20177 yr comment_294346 I'm wondering if management, coaches and/or players have tried to entice him to come back with the latest development of injury or has that shipped sailed once he asked for his release?

September 28, 20177 yr comment_294496 Toth asked Tait on 1290 this AM, whether Thorpe had contacted the team about a return. Ed's response - "If he did call, I'm sure it was to Walters and not Osh". They both agreed that coach would not be quick to welcome Thorpe back.

If they're smart they will. He played very well for us and should never have been left on the PR.

Oh well, we've known for some time now that the very best players don't necessarily get to play on this team. Some people just don't get along. O'Shea and Thorpe may be two. Like Harris and Buono. You win some, you lose some. Next.

October 23, 20177 yr comment_299796 Not good for the Bombers. Hate him or not. We need the receivers more then any of the other teams in the West. Losing too many guys to injuries and not enough quality guys to replace them with.

October 23, 20177 yr comment_299805 Gotta wonder what's up. He leaves the Blue apparently due to not enough playing time, and ends up on the Riders who have a stronger Rec group. I don't see how he cracks that lineup without injuries.

He's been unemployed for a month. The PR spot in Regina was probably his only option.

Or he's realized that opportunities are not as abundant as he thought and he's had to humble himself. Which if he'd done in the first place would have worked out better. That's the way it goes though. Sometimes guys have to make that mistake to learn about life.
October 23, 20177 yr comment_299825 and he ended up on another practice roster lol Should have just stuck it out.
October 23, 20177 yr comment_299827 Pulling a Thorpe Definition: Walking away from an opportunity as a result of ones heightened self-belief in their abilities; only to realize you are worth nothing more than Rider-fodder.
October 23, 20177 yr comment_299830 Yeah but going to the Riders ensures that he will just be moved to the 6 game IR and collect a full paycheck... Edited October 23, 20177 yr by Dr. Blue
October 23, 20177 yr comment_299837 I also don't like that he likely has a pretty good take on the bombers playbook....Jones is a dirty **** and I wouldn't put it past him to sign this guy for that reason alone.

October 23, 20177 yr comment_299843 typical ridert crap. they are already prepping to be playing winnipeg in the WSF.

October 23, 20177 yr comment_299845 If the key to the Riders season is needing info on the Bombers from TJ Thorpe, then those assholes are in bigger trouble than anyone thought...
