Interesting media scrum today after the Bombers walkthru. First off, media was only allowed to shoot in the first 10 minutes of the Winnipeg onfield session. Too bad for the TV stations that nobody informed us of that little fact. Oh well, not like you get much anyways, but at least we could have shot some visuals then, instead of waiting for some action shots which we quickly found out after 5 seconds, we couldn't use.
Then come the interview. Bishop in rare form, completely avoided the questions, just saying he was "focused on the game"...No sour grapes, no extra motivation, nothing? Yeah right.
During the entire interview the Bombers' PR guy kept edging closer and closer to the scrum with each question. Finally after CJME's Jamie Nye asked "Which parking lot the fight took place in"..Bishop countered that he was once again "focused on the game"...As Nye tried a follow up question he was promptly cut off by the Bombers' PR personnel and told the scrum that Michael had answered the question.
Well, actually he didn't. Not even close. Listen, I understand the job of the PR guy and respect what he's doing, but let us do what we need to as well. Bishop is the one saying he was let go because of a fight in the parking lot, if its true, then lets hear about it. Instead, he gets to walk away with a smile on his face after avoiding dealing with his statements.
Comment of the Day: "If there was a fight you have to know that no punches landed. Bishop couldn't connect with anybody, he overthrew every time." author unknown
Kinda funny, huh?
