Like to inform you since many of you are Tiger Cat fans, right? That there are some big news surfacing around the CFL.
First, the rumour is that Rob Katz has spoken to Mike Kelly former Winnipeg Blue Bomber o/c back in the early '90s about taking over the coaching job in Hamilton. The rumour goes as far as Bob Young flying Kelly and his family to Hamilton as soon as tomorrow to show him around.
The second rumour is that city of Ottawa is prepared to sell the Shoreback land to Eugene Melnyk, that might start his process to purchasing the Ottawa football franchise and then taking over the entire Landsdowne park.
A source of mine told me that Bob is flying Cal Murphy and Sami Garza to Carolina so he can get them drunk so he can trick them into signing life time contracts to coach the team, Cal hc, Sami o.c.
Hmmm. Ottawa’s my home town and I’ve been back here for awhile.
Amazing how I’ve never heard of Shoreback land – certainly not anywhere near Lansdowne.
City would never sell all of Lansdowne to Melnyk or anyone else. It makes too much money.
Where’s that fishing/trolling smilie when you need it. :lol: :lol:
Mike Kelly was OC in WPG from 92-96.
He ran those potent offenses (most of those years) with Dunnigan, Gerald Wilcox, Gerald Alphin, Blaise Bryant, Robert Mimbs and Mike Richardson.
count me for another person who lives in Ottawa and never heard of Shorebank.
besides, it seems that a lot of people forget how the 67s play at Lansdowne as well. I wonder if Jeff Hunt would like to have the building owned by Mylnek instead of the city.
