    My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

If LaPo is THAT UPSET then he can simply resign & sit out the year without being paid. Disgruntled employees do that. They quit. But he's supposedly the highest paid OC in the CFL so will he do that because he's soooo unhappy like Lalji claims & Rider fans hope? Doubt it. He's got a great gig with the Bombers & he knows it.

    Just wondering, what if McAdoo become pissed off that he is being overlooked by the Rider and resigns his job as a result ? 🙄

     

     

     

     

     

    😀😁😂🤣

    To paraphrase Homer, " “McAdoo., if you don’t like your job, you don’t quit. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.”

    Found out this link. He did quit on his job before.

    The Riders couldn't have held Jones back if they wanted to.  Jones could resign and take a job anywhere else in the world.  The only reason CFL teams can restrict movement of personnel within their league are the league by-laws.  As far as I know the CFL and NFL have no agreement in regards to respecting clauses in coaching or management contracts.  They do have agreement in regards to player contracts.

    If that's the case then why would Jones have negotiated an NFL out clause in his contract?

    Someone on that other site said that PLAP's twitter feed had all Bombers references and our colours removed and hour or two ago and his tagline as Bombers OC removed. I just checked and the Bombers OC is back (If it was ever gone), but no Bomber colours if they were ever there.

     

    I know you;re posting this as second hand news... but this honestly sounds like the biggest load of BS surrounding this entire story...

    They are a testy bunch over there right now. Understandably so I guess. 

     

    Testy and twisting in he wind......who gives a crap....The disdain that organization has shown to other clubs by their fans and media deserves a little humility....Doubt they learn from it though...They need to look no further than their former illustrious 'not so faithful coach' for their present predicament ...But everyone else to blame ya know (sarcasm)...What a bunch

    👁‍🗨Tony Romo love. The guy can pre-dissect a play, can’t he?

    👁‍🗨Officiating is officiating. Gonna make mistakes. But wow, brutal playoff officiating in the NFL this year.

    👁‍🗨Besides having that rinky-dinky touchback rule on kickoffs, is there a worse overtime format in any league?

    👁‍🗨Is LaPolice lapissed off by being denied the Sask experience? Yes. And maybe justifiably so. But that is counter balanced by the Bombers being justified in not allowing a Sask interview. Kind of late for an overhaul on offence, don’t you think? Maybe that decision should have been made on a coin toss...

    👁‍🗨Woe is me - says every Rider fan now that the Jones experience is drawing to a close. Their knight in shining armour has forsaken the crusade..As it turns out, it’s Bighill for the Bombers...and Uphill for the Riders.

    👁‍🗨Did you notice the field conditions in Kansas for their playoff game? Wayy better than what Edmonton presented. Gotta do better for such an important game..

    The reality is that it's just too late in the game, despite what people say, to let OC's go and replace them.  The REDBLACKS and the Bombers have nothing against their people advancing, not do they have anything against the Riders, they just have to look out for their own team's well being.They have a FA game plan to deploy soon and a fan base to answer to.

    I am kinda scared. Stronson has it on good authority from his multitude of inside sources that Lapo is going to quit and take a year off, he is so mad. We all know that Stronson is not a fan forum member, he is a super secret CFL spy that knows everything going on behind the scenes of every club.

    I totally agree with your take. January 20 is way too late in the game for teams to be replacing coordinators without weakening themselves greatly. Not sure why the Rider fans feel the Bombers are obligated to let Lapo possibly go at this stage of the game. Just because Craig Reynolds was too stupid to put a drop dead date on Jones leaving doesn't mean we have to be equally as dumb.

    You dont need to post logic here. We all understand why. It's the Criders that needs the explaining. But since they cant comprehend logic you have no hope. Just let them be.
