September 3, 201410 yr comment_79146 Two small men with good hearts being traded for each other. Suber is a poor man's Richie Hall - Hall was small but fairly effective over his career. Suber is enthusiastic but too often found himself in chase positon. Perhaps a product of working behind suspect d-lines. Thaddeus doesn't really fit the profile of what the Bombers need most. A heavy set killer who can push back strong o-line blockers and create mayhem in the opponent's backfield (ie. Doug Brown type, Bill Baker, that guy who breaks arms in BC) Even our best bullrushing d-lineman Zach Anderson was pretty much controlled and over-powered by Bigboy Heenan. .... so I suspect Gibson is one of those guys who rarely takes the bull route to the QB - more of a juke 'n jagger like O'Dell Willis. Trouble is by the time this type of guy takes his circuitious route to the QB too much time has elapsed and most CFL QBs have released the pigskin by the time a perimeter guy arrives. A leopard (especially long in the tooth like etch) can't change it's spots.

September 3, 201410 yr comment_79190 Somewhere Darren Cameron is crying. He probably begged KW not to make this move.

September 4, 201410 yr comment_79272 Both players got a new leash of life especially Suber. He is a veteran who haven't seen a snap yet this year. He can definitely start right away for Toronto since he's familiar with Burke's D.What? I dont know if its grammatically correct. Lol.But both players are burried and forgotten and rotting on the depth chart.... well, like dead. lease on life?? I LOLed anyhow.....so great. This part of the thread totally bottled my mind..

September 4, 201410 yr comment_79397 @DarrinBauming: DE Thaddeus Gibson, acquired via trade from #Argos Tuesday, has not joined the #Bombers yet. Alex Suber hasn't left Winnipeg yet either.
September 4, 201410 yr comment_79459 Defensive end Thaddeus Gibson, who the Bombers acquired in a trade with Toronto this week, hasn’t yet joined the Bombers in Winnipeg. O’Shea explained Gibson had a trip planned for what is a bye week for the Argos this week and was told he could go ahead and take it as he wasn’t going to play this week anyway.
September 4, 201410 yr Author comment_79460 I know it seems so minor, but things like that go a LONG way with players.
September 4, 201410 yr comment_79463 I know it seems so minor, but things like that go a LONG way with players. That is a pretty understanding/nice move by O'Shea.

THIS IS BULLCRAP AND I WANT SOMEONE'S HEAD ON A PLATTER!!! I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS TINY THING THAT HAS NO IMPACT ON MY LIFE!!! BLAAARRRGGHHH!!! What? Oh, sorry. My internet reaction setting had switched to "default rage".
September 7, 201410 yr comment_80289 I know it seems so minor, but things like that go a LONG way with players. It goes a long way with all the players not just on our team but around the league. Players talk to each other about how they are treated by the organization and it has impact at FA time. The little things the Bombers do now to create player comfort and support will pay big dividends down the road. I once had an excellent employee who toiled at an entry level position for 6 years for me. I never had room to promote this person and felt that I would lose him one day. Every day though there he was and I would stop and say Hi on my way to the office. One day I had a manager retire and it enabled me to move a couple employees up the food chain with well deserved promotions. He was one of them. I called him into the office and gave him the good news and he was ecstatic. I asked him why he never left to get a better job before. He told me he never even thought about it because everyday I would come in and say Hello and shoot the breeze with him. He said that made him feel comfortable staying right where he was because not many people he ever worked for ever took the time to acknowledge him. Sometimes it's the little things indeed. A couple years later I was doing an employee survey about why they decided to join my organization. Several of the employees responded that when they came to drop off resumes that this staff member had spoken so enthusiastically about working for me that it kind of clinched their interest in working there.

Oh, and it's moot point, not a mute point.
October 10, 201410 yr comment_87997 So Suber has 3 games under his belt with the Argos already and we have yet to see Gibson?
October 10, 201410 yr comment_88003 So Suber has 3 games under his belt with the Argos already and we have yet to see Gibson? He's afraid to practice against our OL...yep that'd do it...
October 10, 201410 yr comment_88007 So Suber has 3 games under his belt with the Argos already and we have yet to see Gibson? He's afraid to practice against our OL...yep that'd do it... I've noticed that other teams' defensive linemen are so fearful of our O-linemen that they get past them as quickly as possible- very quickly, in fact.
October 10, 201410 yr comment_88031 Lawless has a habit of saying "mute point". Drives me nuts. Maybe his subconscious was telling him to STFU.
