Posted October 30, 201311 yr comment_26962 http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/10/29/some-bombers-show-true-colours-wont-play-this-week-burke Has anyone heard about this and what players Burke is referring to? So whoever isn't injured and doesn't play Saturday are the ones on Burke's @#$% list?
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26963 The article lacks depth.....if you are going to write something like this, you should name names. (I'm referring to the Sun writer, not the poster)
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26965 Blah, blah, blah. Screw Burke. And I agree if someone is going to write an article like that then name names.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26966 A pretty 'high school' article if you ask me. "I know who's on the teacher's *hit list …but I'm not telling." Really? There's some players who aren't acting professional and you're not telling? Then why the hell do you bring it up? So, now if someone's not playing, and it involves a different matter, how are we supposed to know the difference?
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26970 burke wants to sit players who don't put in the effort that's fine, but there's no need to drive the bus over them... but then again the only thing burke seems able to do as a coach is toss players under the bus. He has to go cause you can't have a coach that willing to absolutely bury players.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26972 Seriously though I could just copy and paste every comment I always make about Sun articles...just ignore them, they're all crap [EDIT: In fairness, Penton is probably the most knowledgeable Bomber guy now, but I still refuse to read the Sun.]
October 30, 201311 yr Author comment_26973 I found it strange that he (Burke) wasn't naming names, since he hasn't had any problem in the past singling out and naming player(s) for blame (deserved or not).
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26975 Frankly, an astonishing bit of pique by a coach on his way out. Questioning a players heart by a coach is almost taboo.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26976 meh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such. id have preferred names but that might have gone too far and crossed a line.. but at the end of the day, id rather an honest coach rather then a spin doctor..
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26977 meh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such. Well that'd be awfully ironic
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26980 meh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such.Well that'd be awfully ironic lol touche.. but burkes only been a hc for how long? mistakes are to be expected unfortunately..
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26981 A pretty 'high school' article if you ask me. "I know who's on the teacher's *hit list …but I'm not telling." Really? There's some players who aren't acting professional and you're not telling? Then why the hell do you bring it up? So, now if someone's not playing, and it involves a different matter, how are we supposed to know the difference? FYI almost exact same article was in the Free Press

So, now if someone's not playing, and it involves a different matter, how are we supposed to know the difference? FYI almost exact same article was in the Free Press Same speech, different writers. Same source…Burke. So, does he want to tell us or just get people to guess like he has made fans guess most of the year? So again I would ask, what's the point of bringing this up now? Anybody who is not playing Sat. now falls under the cloak of Burke's comments.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26983 Shot in the dark, could it be Chad Simpson and Chris Matthews? Simpson and Matthews are injured so no. IIRC Simpson isn't even in Winnipeg - don't know about Matthews.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26984 Burke should just shut up. The way he's coached this year he's the last guy to call anybody out. According to Burke, if the players don't have talent then they don't have heart. Never his fault. He's done the best he could with what he's been given, right??? This guy has to go. The minute the game is over this weekend get Burke out of here.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26992 If they fired him and announced it right after the game, people would likely cheer.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26993 meh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such.Well that'd be awfully ironic lol touche.. but burkes only been a hc for how long? mistakes are to be expected unfortunately.. Burke's been a head coach for longer than the majority of our roster have been pro football players.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_26996 This season can not end soon enough. Really not impressed with GM end-around taking place though, as per the Higgins thread.
October 30, 201311 yr comment_27001 meh, guys probably just tired of dealing with a bunch of asshat football "pros" who simply cannot conduct themselves as such. id have preferred names but that might have gone too far and crossed a line.. but at the end of the day, id rather an honest coach rather then a spin doctor.. Yup....throwing guys under the bus at this point really makes then want to come back. Burke is an idiot! Someone should tape his mouth shut!

These aren't just rookie mistakes, this is a serious flaw in the attitude of a head coach.Burke has been in charge for over a year and a half! how long does the "he's just knew" excuse fly? No at this point we know exactly what kind of head coach Burke is and he's not a very good one. Can't get his players motivated, has no idea how to manage a game or a roster. Fire him immediately after the game ends and then this team can focus on moving forward.
