November 27, 201311 yr comment_30919 If we had a good team, respected management, and a great record the scribes would love to be gushing about how awesome we are cause thats easy to write and sells papers. So fix the f-ing team, stop hiring train wrecks to run it, and the media will follow. You know that's not true. Guys like Friesen are just trolls and will always spin things as negative as possible. Mark my words, when the Bombers next win the Grey Cup Friesens article is going to be titled "All Down Hill From Here"
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30920 I'm a big fan of Paul Wiecek to be honest. Seems like he'd be a great guy to party with.
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30941 I'm a big fan of Paul Wiecek to be honest. Seems like he'd be a great guy to party with. The problem with Wiecek is that he doesn't really give a **** about the CFL. He'd rather be doing his horse racing or curling than covering the Bombers and because of that despite being a pretty good writer his pieces on the Bombers are very lacking in substance.

I think that was true at one point, but not necessarily anymore. I thought he improved a great deal in that regard over the last year or so.

Are you saying that Winnipeg -- capital of Manitoba -- Free Press reporter -- the guy who writes articles -- Paul Wiecek is a good -- as in capable -- writer?
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30947 Is self admitted downfall or shortfall was the fact that he knew nothing about the CFL. Tough assignment to get especially in Winnipeg with such a dedicated football following.

In a technical sense yes, it's the content that is the problem with him when it comes to the Bombers.

I actually teased him a bit through Twitter and he since got better. That said, ever since the paper went all pay site and I'm stuck reading it through my iPad I'm far less engaged. Yes, I somehow managed to move on without Doug Spiers' "brilliant" column.
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30963 I voted no, when a guy like Higgins withdraws his name, you know the game was rigged from the start.....same old BS as always. I used to laugh at the people who thought that until the BOD was cleansed or another oversight body elected that things would never change, it appears they were right all along.

I used to laugh at the people who thought that until the BOD was cleansed or another oversight body elected that things would never change, it appears they were right all along. I don't understand why it's easier to assume Higgins was not hired because it was his decision and not because it was because of something he demanded or lacked. Because it's easier to blame the Bombers org.?

I don't understand why it's easier to assume Higgins was not hired because it was his decision and not because it was because of something he demanded or lacked. Because it's easier to blame the Bombers org.? It's easier to assume because GM jobs are highly coveted around the league -- and for a former GM who's challenged for previous GM openings to suddenly pull his name for a job that would likely double or triple his current salary is very odd. Maybe you're right though. Maybe he demanded autonomy to pick his HC and AGM and Wade said no?
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30978 More likely that the Bombers had no interest in Higgins, just like every other team in the league.
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30987 I can't imagine anyone comparing resumes and coming to the conclusion that Walters was the more qualified of the two.
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30989 Maybe you're right though. Maybe he demanded autonomy to pick his HC and AGM and Wade said no? And maybe he demanded to be the GM and HC and Wade said no? Where does the conjecture end?
November 27, 201311 yr comment_30990 Maybe he wanted to relocate the Bombers to the moon and Wade wasn't sure the travel costs would be manageable for road games.
November 27, 201311 yr comment_31022 The gravity on the moon would probably help the cracking at the stadium. Something they may want to seriously consider.
November 28, 201311 yr comment_31072 The gravity on the moon would probably help the cracking at the stadium. Something they may want to seriously consider. Ok now that's just absurd. There's no way they would take the stadium with them if they relocated to the moon.
November 28, 201311 yr comment_31074 Maybe he wanted to relocate the Bombers to the moon and Wade wasn't sure the travel costs would be manageable for road games. lol on the post and yer new avy

November 28, 201311 yr comment_31080 I feel like the moon is an untapped market, we should definitely consider this.
December 2, 201311 yr comment_31319 I feel like the moon is an untapped market, we should definitely consider this. Are they considered Imports?
December 2, 201311 yr comment_31320 I feel like the moon is an untapped market, we should definitely consider this. Are they considered Imports? i heard they will add 2 new categories for players.... alliens and non-alliens. each team will have a required designated alliens every game day, too and will have to juggle the ratio on that....

I don't think these posts should be taken seriously with respect to the gravity of the situation. **MOAB - are U sure about the years in your signature or is that in lunar years?
