I believe it was New Orleans, scored a TD last second after a bunch of crazy laterals... all they needed to make the playoff was the kicker to hit the extra point and give them a chance in OT, and the kicker missed the extra point. That was brutal.

Edit: Found it

That is the DEFINITION of choking under pressure.

  • 2 weeks later...

Andrus out, now Kelly is also out in Winnipeg. Good riddance!

It appears Mike Kelly has sealed his already tenuous fate as head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The Bomber board of directors is expected to approve the firing of Kelly at a meeting later today, in light of an assault charge filed against the coach in the U.S. this morning.

Kelly was charged with assault and harrassment after police were called to his home near Philadelphia at 9 a.m.

A former girlfriend of Kelly's had suffered a cut lip, bruises on her neck and marks on her arms. The police report says Kelly also had marks and swelling on his face.

Kelly was charged and released, with a promise to appear in court Dec. 23.

Nice pics LH!

BLUE BOMBERS RELEASE LB BARRIN SIMPSON

Barrin Simpson's career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers might be over for good this time.

The club announced on Tuesday that they released the import linebacker, who they feuded with during the regular season. "Barrin has always been a solid player in this league and we thank him for his hard work and dedicated commitment to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers," Interim Vice-President of Football Operations Ross Hodgkinson said in a statement. "We certainly would consider the possibility of Barrin returning with the understanding of it being a fit for both parties."

Simpson's dispute with Bombers started in the summer when he asked for a trade after being asked by the club to take a back-up role.

The Blue Bombers attempted to put Simpson on the nine-game injured list, but he would not sign the paper work. The Canadian Football League later removed Simpson from the list.

Simpson was then sent home by the team for approximately two weeks, before returning the club in early October to finish out the year. He has spent the past four seasons with the Blue Bombers, playing in 52 regular season games, three playoff games and one Grey Cup during that time.
