January 19, 201510 yr comment_103853 From this morning: @garrettbillan1: @garylawless Richie Hall announcement this week? @garylawless: @garrettbillan1 not sure. bombers coaches and managers all in mobile for senior bowl
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103854 The Bombers rightly want to be on the front page of the sports section in the off season. Just good business.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103855 Just another thing worth noting - I think it may have been mentioned already - but I'm pretty sure Darren Cameron was on holidays last week. Could explain the lack of an announcement. They'll want him there to coordinate a presser for sure.

Could explain the lack of an announcement. They'll want him there to coordinate a presser for sure. What kind of half wit team would allow holidays for their PR guy? Sounds like a second rate organization to me. Why is there no back up plan for PR for when Cameron is on vacation? Why would they go scout the senior bowl on a week they could have been announcing Hall? Don't they respect the fans wishes about knowing what's going on? I am, of course, being sarcastic.

January 19, 201510 yr comment_103863 Someone should ask Lawless about Mike Renauld's rumoured retirement.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103865 It seems that often CJOB will get the news and then the Bombers announce it Part of the radio agreement no doubt.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103874 Staff in Mobile for the Senior Bowl? PR guy on holidays? CFL Congress on this week? Piddly excuses…one and all.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103875 Is Hall in Mobile with the rest of the coaches? Exactly. We need a good bird-dog or some one with connections to Canada Customs to find out if Hall went along for the trip. Doubt any of the regular CFL bloggers are in attendance.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103886 They don't "sit on announcements", they "spread out announcements". Huuuuge difference.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103899 They don't "sit on announcements", they "spread out announcements". Huuuuge difference. Whether you spread out or sit on it, it's really just a matter of personal preference.

January 19, 201510 yr comment_103903 Pretty sure they sat on a the Tim Cronk contract for two weeks. I'm shocked a blockbuster signing like that didn't leak out
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103904 They don't "sit on announcements", they "spread out announcements". Huuuuge difference. Whether you spread out or sit on it, it's really just a matter of personal preference. I don't ... understand.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103944 Is Hall in Mobile with the rest of the coaches? Rids is in Mobile maybe somehow he can give us some info.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103951 Honest Question. No sarcasm or bs like my last few posts in this topic.. Why does it matter when they announce who the DC is? Honestly, why do a few of you care so much? Does it really bother you that much? Or.. I'm just curious as to why a few people can't wait until they announce it. I understand it's the off-season and people want news, i get that. I get that maybe because of Stubler last year saying thanks but no thanks people might be getting a bit antsy but other than those 2 reasons, why the rush? Why the need to know? The people that matter all know already. I just don't get why it's such a big deal if they announce it today tomorrow a week from now or even a month from now. Before people say but a month from now, free agency will have passed, yes but last year technically ETCH wasn't named DC until after the free agency period.
January 20, 201510 yr comment_103997 Is Hall in Mobile with the rest of the coaches? Rids is in Mobile maybe somehow he can give us some info. If Rids decides to move there, would he have to get a Mobile home?
January 20, 201510 yr Author comment_104062 Nothing unusual in the Ritchie Hall announcement ... little if any "sitting" I suspect
January 20, 201510 yr comment_104067 Nothing unusual in the Ritchie Hall announcement ... little if any "sitting" I suspect Just curious, what contents of an announcement would have made you thought them to be unusual and that would have led you to believe there was "sitting". I really don't know if the Bombers were sitting on the announcement or not. But I'm not sure how the contents of that announcement could lead you to believe they delayed it or not. There really is no link between the two. It isn't like they are going to say we signed him last week but our PR guy was on holidays so we waited until today to announce it. Just not how things work.
January 26, 201510 yr comment_104850 Just the other day I was sent a calendar that outlined the best days to release news. It'd be interesting to see that matched up with how CFL teams do their media releases. Generally putting things out there Thursday and Friday from 1pm to 3pm Central time things will get better responses than at any other time during the week (until people get onto this and flood those days with info and then it'll switch again). Very interesting stuff: http://www.tubefilter.com/2015/01/12/best-days-times-to-post-youtube-videos-yearly-calendar/ As a member of the Communications staff at the Bombers, I can tell you that we do not use a specific calendar to determine when to issue releases. There are a number of factors that have to be considered as far as when a release is sent out, every single one is different. I can't speak for other teams in the CFL, however. No idea what they base their release dates on.
January 26, 201510 yr comment_104854 Is she running for public office? Wow what a great non answer answer.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer a question for those interested in the minutia of their favourite football team... ...is something a non-horrible person might say
