Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Montreal vs Ssk Grey Cup w...

Last post by The Zipp - November 13, 2025, 01:03:56 PM

Injury experts, help me out:  Can you tough it through a hammy?  Can you just ignore the pain or shoot up with killers and still run?  Can you run, just not fast?  Does it affect passing (body twisting / planting etc)?  Can it "get worse" as the game goes on?

Just trying to gauge what is likely to happen to Alexander.

maybe you can freeze it - i had a 3rd grade tear in my hammy from racing my teenage son on our front street at 10pm one sunday night...no stretching was done

the only thing that helped was wrapping it really tight.  i am by no means an athlete in prime condition like DA.  it will affect not just running but throwing as well.   he will have the best of care / treatment but i dont think he lasts the game.

when guys tear a hammy they typically leave the game and dont return. his may not be torn but i dont know of this was a regular season game that he would be playing.

from howard berger (toronto sports writer)

NEW: I'm told the #Argos and Mike O'Shea are close to a deal as head coach. Very likely providing Osh lots of authority over personnel. Expect it will be announced after Sunday to not  interfere with the #GreyCup  . But, I'm uncertain about that. Hell of an addition for the Boatmen. #CFL #Leafs #TSN #BlueBombers



we all may be shocked that MOS may actually want more of a gm type role that what is believed. head coach/assistant gm??

pinball may want to have a succession plan in place and i don't think it's john murphy so why not MOS?

prob would have offered dinwiddie a similar role had he stuck around to listen to the argos counter offer

I can't believe none of you guys have the conspiracy hats on. Sheesh!

First Grey Cup against the Argos "That's a hell of a team you have there Mike but T.O. really needs this cup and you've just won two. Could be something in it down the road for you if you ever wanted to come back home to T.O."

Second Grey Cup against the Argos "That's a hell of a team you have there Mike but T.O. really needs this cup and as much as we appreciate the first one, well, there definitely could be something down the road for you if you ever wanted to come back home to T.O."

"Easiest way out of the 'Peg is to tank the team bad. The folks there'd be happy to see you go and with Dimwiddie gone, well ..."

Just sayin'.  "Queue the Twilight Zone music" ... LOL!

JV been pre gameing hard core eh.

After this past off season failures, I can see why. MOS would have worked closely with Walters and ted g when he was here, I can see MOS getting an interview for the GM position. Given Danny Mac s reluctance to leave Florida, I don't see that changing so maybe MOS gets the GM position and Danny Mac the assistant GM position??

Things look dark in bomberville, very dark.

Well that is like, just your opinion, man!

$684k is crazy money for a CFL team to pay anyone, especially for a guy who hasn't won anything, forget the Grey Cup, he hasn't even won a playoff game!!

He's won two semifinals to be fair.

I dunno, the OC looked pretty darn good in the 3rd Q in the ESF.  He had a decent plan to beat MTL.  I was actually quite surprised.  If only our D could have held Alexander a little bit more...

One quarter of decent play calling vs a mostly sad year is not giving me hope!

A few things that could draw O'Shea one way or the other...

- ties to Toronto,
- ties to Winnipeg,
- opportunity to rebuild Toronto,
- opportunity to re-set in Winnipeg,
- family/friends re-connections in Toronto,
- family/friends connections in Winnipeg,
- money, future opportunities in Toronto,
- money, future opportunities in Winnipeg.

I believe he will consider all of the above.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Bomber's Jacket & other items

Last post by Tecno - November 13, 2025, 03:57:35 AM

I wouldn't normally make a thread like this, but I want to give a recommendation for the Royal Insulated Jacket the Bomber Store sells right now.  I bought one to wear to the ESF in MTL.  It's probably the best piece of gear I've ever bought at the store.

High quality item and super crazy warm.  I'd say it's good enough for as cold as a -10C game (more with thermals underneath).  And it looks awesome with the W on the front and the Blue Bombers writing on the left sleeve.  My only complaint is the zipper is a bit sticky when unzipped if you don't move the bottom zipper up to meet it.

Oh ya, and it fits "small".  I take a LG normally, but for this one a M fit best.  Try it on before buying.

What's your favorite Bomber Store purchase this season?  I'm always looking to buy more!

[Argo facilities suck]

Can't see him going for it, the Argo facilities suck

Ya, who would want to go to that place, and then play every week in front of only 5000 fans?

Not to mention, who's to say Argos won't go broke, or sell the team, or move the team, or whatever?  They are only alive because of owner deep pockets and equalization payments.  They probably lose more money than any team.  You want to walk into an org that may not exist as-is in 1 to 3 years??  And if they change owners/whatever you just know the first change made will be fire the HC.

Contrast with the richest team in the league WPG where your job security is 100% as long as KW/WM are happy with you.  MOS has earned many year's grace of total suckage here, with Mafia & the fan base.  He could be 1 & done in the playoffs for the next 2 seasons and it would still be only the same peanut gallery as always calling for his head.

It doesn't make any sense.
