Does it get any crazier than what is going on in the Keystone Province this summer?
Last weekend the Bombers were in town and we in the media had the joy of our first media scrum with Mike Kelly. I found him polite, articulate and well mannered. But something smells rotten in Denmark, and it ain't just that usually Portage and Main stink.
Now veteran linebacker Baron Simpson wants out of Bomber-Town. Its remarkable just how many negative stories keep coming out of the Peg this season. They're going thru veterans faster than a newborn goes thru diapers. Spygate, the Lefors incident, bringing in Michael Bishop.
The team is also bunkering in like Hitler in his last few days. Last weekend their media guy intervened during a Michael Bishop interview and apparently Simpson was 'unavailable' for comment in the Bombers' locker room.
Whatever is happening behind closed doors seems to be spilling out onto the field. The team is 3-6 starting the second half of the season and slipping closer and closer to missing a playoff spot if they don't run their plane around.
Stay tuned...No doubt there will be more out of Manitoba any second now, unless ofcourse they slam the doors shut again, in which case, the next story is already happening!

You know what could really turn that room around? Packman Jones.
