Just another day at the circus in Winnipeg....
Quote:
It’s not something you see every day at Bomber practice, but then again it’s not every day the Blue and Gold are on a five-game losing streak and have fired the CEO, the general manager and the offensive co-ordinator before the season is eight games old.
That would probably explain why Bombers running back Chad Simpson absolutely lost his lid on running backs coach Steve Hladio during one of the offensive team periods of Thursday’s practice at Investors Group Field. Not long after a play ended, Simpson had ripped off his helmet and was trying to get at Hladio.
Simpson, who was celebrating his 28th birthday on Thursday, had to be held back by teammates as he screamed and pointed at the first-year assistant. Players fight at practice on occasion, but the team’s starting tailback needing to be stopped from physically going after a coach — in public, no less — is quite rare.
