GM from HAM waits 2+ years into the job to finally deal with fans ... for 15 minutes. Came across just like he did in person with me, smarmy, aloof, unaccountable. Hence the colossal failure coaching staff with the exact same attitude as the epic failure GM shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Was at his introductory event in Kanata ... he couldn't have been more uninterested, played on his phone the entire time, clearly uncomfortable around people, even with just 120 fans there, but standoffish from the get-go, a snickering, weird guy. Acklin wasn't any better, was insincere, immature, call it the 100% antonym of Alfie & Hank.
Went to 80%+ of RBs QB clubs 2014-22, STH events, Fan Fests, tons of road games & Grey Cup weeks. Interact with hundreds of fans per year from all markets, plugged in to what is really going on.
Tonight was the first time callers were given a chance to confront the outsider rival unproven GM, who never had to take a hard question, always protected by this leftist MSM - much like an installed president.
As one would expect, it was carefully orchestrated by TSN Ottawa 1200. 20 minutes of ads, thus only 40 mins left, Then the first 15+ were AJ - the installed play-by-play guy - kissing corporate, and with his guy at the command centre to shut anyone down with the 7-second delay. Only one segment with 5 callers - 2 abruptly cut off - then the final segment reading emails. Thus only one useful fan feedback segment in the hour, 15 mins with 5 pre-arranged callers.
GM ducked, dodged and arrogantly ignored intelligent, thoughtful Q’ns from long-time STHs & every game callers Keith, Mike, Randy etc. Doesn’t help with know-it-all AJ cutting off callers, acting as the propaganda chief for OSEG, as the narcissist always does.
GM offered ZERO apology, ZERO shame for pushing a competitive team on the fan base in 2022 & 2023 while delivering the worst team in the league. Nothing more than a snake oil salesman at this point.
Logical fans I talk to 95% say the coach and entire staff must go, and 80% want the GM gone, too. But he acts like he owns Ottawa! So arrogant and out of touch, just like DC.
GM brags about leading the CFL in INTs. Obviously they should be given being on D 65% of the time! This is like boasting about having the most hits in the league in the NHL b/c you’re chasing the puck all game!
GM brought in his other rival HAM boys Masoli, Acklin, both colossal failures. At this point, any logical season ticket holder has to wonder whether this is deliberate sabotage of a rival team while the owners are aloof.
From the diehards I talk to, the postgame shows, chats in the stadium, then everywhere else around town, that’s certainly how it looks to the 90%+ who pay the bills for this 8-28 (.222) debacle under this installed HAM GM.
If your investment advisor gave you a 78% losing portfolio, then had transgenders dancing on the field to make your entire family uncomfortable to add insult to injury, s/he'd be fired immediately, along with all the woke marketing creeps pushing a sinister agenda! At OSEG, they only up the ante every year.
Bad enough suffering through 4-29 (.121) in their last 33 games at home - 4 seasons. But push all this woke crap in our faces, it's really rubbing it in.
Clear tonight all of the RBs staff are living in their elitist bubble, just like what we see on Parliament Hill & the Capitol. Rogue elections have severe consequences, and the middle-class foot 95%+ of the bill.
