February 13, 201411 yr comment_40520 The Lions aren't the powerhouse they once were. In the West, I think the Bombers will compete for 3rd place with BC and Edmonton, behind Calgary and Sask.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40538 Wally won't overpay for players that is and always been one of his strengths. If you overpay for even one player you drive up the expectations for all the players. You need to hold to a pay schedule and not let or get emotional about the "business" of football.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40548 Wally would cut his mother to save a dollar. He is cutthroat. He's been GM in BC almost as long as in Calgary when he was cutting veterans left & right thinking someone younger & cheaper could play & he finished last in the West in 2002. He might be nearing the end of the road in the CFL & looking to retirement in the next couple of years.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40550 Quick, someone send a waaaaaaaambulance to the bc lions training facilities!
February 13, 201411 yr Author comment_40559 Players don't sound too happy and that's not good news for Wally when the players are sounding as despondent as they seem to sound.

Yup. The bell may toll for thee this time Wally.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40574 Wow what happened to all the Wally lovers who wanted him as the next Bomber GM and spare no expense to get him.?
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40576 Wow what happened to all the Wally lovers who wanted him as the next Bomber GM and spare no expense to get him.? Wally Buono as Bomber GM would be an instant, immediate upgrade over anything we've had since, well, I don't know. A healthy Dave Ritchie? When you hire Wally, you also hire a very good pipeline to talent (Roy Shivers?). And while he may cut guys a little TOO early, at least he doesn't get taken to the woodshed too often or get held over a barrel by prima-donnas. Ask the other GM's in the league if they respect Wally as a GM. Then ask what they think of Joe Mack.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40587 Wally is a great GM. He's having a terrible offseason. You could also apply the same thing to Taman, but that's not really his fault.
February 13, 201411 yr comment_40591 If these guys were playing for Winnipeg the media and some posters around here would have blown there comments way out of proportion. Pitch forks would have came out and grudges would have started.

This quote was interesting to me as well, said by Dante Marsh: “Winnipeg gets a hell of an upgrade. We get a guy who has potential, but potential is a coach-killer.”

February 13, 201411 yr comment_40625 He's not saying anyone is a coach killer. He's saying Poblah is a guy who is all potential, but counting on potential that never comes through is how coaches lose their job.
