Injury reports on cfl.ca seem to come out like clockwork every 6-7 days.

https://www.cfl.ca/category/injury-report/

Last one was 18th.  Report should have been out 25th.  It's almost the 27th.  What's going on?  I really want to see what's they do with Trevor Harris.

The Bombers have OWNED the Riders since Covid.  11-2 in that time with an average score of 32-19.

I've loved every minute of it, and looking forward to expanding that stat a little more.  ;D

Quote from: TecnoGenius on August 27, 2025, 04:11:54 AMBoy, the more I watch these and listen to coaches show, the more I think MOS hates DT.  Maybe not as a person, but he hates the way he thinks and his questions.  DT is a nerd, a numbers/stats guy.  MOS hates numbers.

He's actually a bit snarky & mean to DT, which he doesn't do to the other reporters.

It's kind of funny, but sad, at the same time.  DT's a trooper for taking it week after week and putting a happy face on it all.


Agree. My theory is that it was a big change from Bob Irving who asked questions that seemed designed to promote the Bombers. DT gets right to it. They get along a bit better now than at first I think.

Are you sure MOS is not just getting more snarky though? On this weeks coaches show MOS was asked when or how many practices and he gave an answer so vague you didn't know what he would do. Like it's a state secret. I get the feeling he would prefer all practices closed. They post the times late if at all. Last one on the bomber website is Aug 3.

Largely the reason I stopped listening to the Coach's Show and most of the pressers years ago. Much adieu about nothing, just going through the paces and waiting for it to be over. Whatever - if he's winning, I don't care as much.

It's when Kyle Walters speaks that you want to tune in. That's the good stuff fans want to hear about. You'd think someone is holding his mom hostage in North Korea the way that man shows his cards and I am here for it

MOS is never gonna change, caulk it up to Mike LBer mind set. Stubborn dude. This is football it suppose to be fun, maybe share some of that information to the die hard fans? Nope.

Both he and Walters are on "sitting duck" contracts. What happens after this year? A complete regime change over?

If he is winning I to don't care if he shares more info. Now if he is a loser it is another story.

I believe they were last year too and just signed one year deals. I'm not worried about it.
My wife is amazing!

I think Walters renewed this past off-season but believe O'Shea had one year left on his contract, if Walters only renewed for one season maybe he's starting to think about a career change.

Walters signed a two-year deal at the end of the 2023 season: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/11/28/blue-bombers-and-general-manager-kyle-walters-agree-to-terms-on-two-year-extension/

O'Shea signed a three-year deal at the end of the 2022 season: https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/12/08/head-coach-mike-oshea-signs-three-year-contract-extension/

Both need to be re-signed prior to the 2026 season.

Probably not worth signing a long-term deal while the coaching cap is in place, remuneration could all of a sudden improve quickly.  If it was eliminated the Bombers would be in a better financial position to reward their staff than any other CFL team.

Maybe we ve owned them in the past but gone is kennylawler and dalton schoen, our receiving corps was weak to begin with and now has injuries to demski and sterns,yikes.

Mosaic is always tough to win in a dig Harris plays and demski is out, we don't have the horses to score enough points in the LDC to win it
