Maybe not today. Or tomorrow. But mark my words. This loose cannon will be fired sooner than later. And he will be remembered for this BS.

Maybe Bomber fans will be lucky though and Kelly turns the team around. That'll simply up the arrogance quotient though. And you can bet the GM will grow weary of that game.

What were the complaints of the coach?

I posted this comment in the Bomber Fan Forum and it was removed. I then received a warning from a moderator named seebass that such "Personal attacks on bomber staff or posters will not be tolerated" and "Future disregard of the rules will result in you being banned". WTF???
grumpy old man wrote:The arrogance of Kelly is unbelievable. Once Kelly is fired, and he will be, who in their right mind would risk hiring such a PR nightmare as head coach again? He is not so smart as to recognize that is he?

Now the arrogance is extended to John Murphy, Winnipeg's director of player personnel, who has the audacity to stand up and sprout rules about about talking about player contracts in the media that he clearly is incapable of following.

And Bauer defends this gong show.

The Bombers had better start winning and soon. Else the fans will make life unbelievably miserable for these clowns. The down side is the players will be collateral damage.

Let it be heard loud and clear Bomber players: we do not hold you responsible for the debacle this team has become.

Fun game: What part of this post was deemed a "personal attack"?

More fun: seebass lists the Bomber website as his website. Is seebass an employee of the Blue Bombers and have they extended their comment manipulation to the Fan Forum...

I expect I'll be banned from that site soon.

G.O.M.- do you have a list of your bann's?
That should make an interestin thread!
I think I will have to be very careful about having you over or meeting with you!
What would happen if all of us, who happen to enjoy your company, got banned?
We must be careful! GOM, the next meeting , you will have to check in your rear view mirror, and I will get you to pick me up from the back lane?

Sorry to disappoint ya. I'm only banned from the darkside. Not yet banned from the Bomber Fan Forum. Maybe the moderators at the darkside moonlight as moderators at the Fan Forum. Could happen.

They'd probably have trouble with security at the games. Smile

Answer to fun game: The part of my post deemed an "attack" was where I called Kelly and Murphy arrogant. Here is what seebass said:
You are calling Kelly and Murphy arrogant, that is a personal attack.

What a bunch of knobs...

That forum is the biggest group of homers on the net. You can't say anything negative about the team even after a blowout loss. No matter what happens everything is still sunshine and lollypops over at that forum.

True that. I was amazed at the response to anything even remotely negative.

I guess it should not surprise us then to receive a warning for such an innocuous post. Especially since that moderator (seebass) is employed (indirectly) by the football club.

I asked seebass if he as an employee. His response: "It's none of your business."

Heh heh

Funny how we care when the coach of our local football team tries to control interactions with the media and public but don't seem to mind when the Prime Minister does it. I guess that speaks to where are priorties are.

But back to this topic. If you have a good reason for making the decisions that you do, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to handle any question thrown at you. Even if you have a different perspective on the situation at least be able to state your position on it.

I suppose I'd agree with you if I felt "we" didn't care about Harper and his media controlling ways. Ummm, "we" do. So there!

What makes you think "we" don't care?

And if the calls are threatening in nature the caller can be reported to the police. Once these guys realize that the call in show means business then the lines will open up again for other callers. But it still goes to show that Kelly and Bauer don't care that the fans are the ones who pay their salary. I know that a collegue of mine and 9 of his friends were going to Regina for the game this weekend but after the announcement this morning he and his friends have decided to not go. I know that this is a small portion of the cash flow for any team but you will see more of this type of thing happening if Kelly and Bauer continue to play these types of games.
Wonder who we pay to run the club and if it entails making the tough calls if your friends support is this fickle then maybe the Bombers do not need them .
I support this move as the show was getting out of hand , with morons who think they are smarter and better then everyone else . They go to 3or5 games in a year and figure they are a fan who has complete grasp of the team , as long as the beer is there.
Not that this is your friends just what I have found listening to the show since it inception . I have stayed with them threw thick and thin for that is being a fan . Did have season tickets for 20 yrs gave them up because of time constraints and the cottage .
