My buddy & wife spend $500 a visit to 529.  So ya, I can see 2-3 people sitting at the best restaurant in TOR blowing $1k easily.

No, Pinball is not taking him to Taco Bell or 5 Guys.  That's not how you woo a potential half-million-a-year employee.
Never go full Johnston!

Do we even know if OShea was going to meet Pinball in TO?

With the Grey Cup here u would think the face to face meeting would be in the Peg.

Quote from: The Zipp on November 10, 2025, 05:16:07 PMgotta think the bombers asked MOS. "you want to talk to the argos?". and then based on his answer they proceed...

I think the Argos ask and as a matter of policy, the WFC never gets in the way.

I'm still very confident MOS is still the HC of the Bombers next season.
My wife is amazing!

Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

That doesn't benefit O'Shea if they take a bunch of people for a fancy meal. He's still only eating his $100 meal. I don't think O'Shea is earning $500K. Obviously I was kidding about Taco Bell.

In theory they have to offer him a higher position to get him to move while he's under contract. Unless the Bombers have already decided to move on which seems unlikely? They don't have to release him from his contract although that wouldn't create a good situation. Didn't they do that when Pierce was offered something in Vancouver before the move this year?

Either way, if he goes he goes. Not much we can do about it.
One game at a time.

I trust Wade to get this right. He seems to succeed at whatever he puts his mind to.

2 fools not just one.  and who goes to 529 to skrimp on food and drink??  if you can't afford to eat and drink there then go to Montanas.

It would be a BIG shakeup if Oshea leaves. The Bombers for sure would take a step or 5 backwards.

What we dont know is if Kyle Walters and OShea were exactly on the same page this season. Maybe a split would be welcome.

No comment!   ;D  ;D  ;D   (In case my friend is reading this!)

Not to prolong the "how expensive can dinner be" convo, but my wife had a $175 truffle dish at Chef Pino's in Vancouver in GC week (grumble grumble), plus a couple of glasses of decent wine she easily spent $250 just by herself.  And I'm sure TOR has even better (read: $$) restaurants than Pino's.

There's a world of luxury most don't know about (actually, there's even more above that level...).  It's like Porsche: whatever you think what you're looking at costs, think higher, then double it.

bottom line is that if MOS wants the TO job - it's his.  if he isn't hired the person who is will always know they were plan B.

not uncommon in sports.

Then Walters can go.  I don't see him doing much lately anyhow.
