Sun is saying Miller blasted the official upstairs at halftime pretty good. Maybe blast your coach like that.

If that's for the play I'm thinking of, they even said the upstairs official can't call a penalty even if they see one, only confirm or overrule a call by an on-field official. And really, what is tearing a strip off an official going to do, except put your team in a position where calls (or non-calls) might just never go their way? Don't piss off the striped shirts should be a lesson learned early by everyone from team owner on down.

Of course, we might be in a better position if we had a team owner with actual money invested in this enterprise instead of our ever-changing group of volunteers.

Oh how I miss Kevin Glenn... stupid bombers

Knock on Glenn was (is) he can't win the big game. Least with him, you're getting to the big game before getting smoked.

I'm almost desperate enough to have the team make Taman the GM again.

Time to reminisce about the happy, promising days of the early Willy era:



WTF happened?

Think he's playing scared out there. Sit him and make him earn his spot back.

Wash your mouth out with soap, young man! How did that name even make it past the filters?

Sask and Edmonton have done just fine as community-owned teams.

I can only think of one grey cup that he actually played in. We would have won the game against Sask if Glenn didn't break his arm.

Good for them, but it doesn't seem to be working here of late. When mediocrity becomes entrenched in a group, it can be hard to change. Especially if you have an old guard that is resistant to ideas brought in by the new members. I'm not saying the Bomber board has this dynamic, but their record hardly inspires confidence.

And I realize that having a private owner is no guarantee, either. Sports is littered with the carcasses of failed teams who have suffered at the hands of stupid, meddling owners. But if we could get an owner with a proven record of successful franchise building? Someone like... Mark Chipman?

I would rephrase that to... if a dirty Argo hit hadn't broken his arm.

Prob is bad hires then they fire and end up paying them for years to come, guys like berry, kelly. Now if they fire oshea will end up paying him as well. Key is hire a good gm and coach. Benavides was my choice.
