"I'm just happy that my release was granted," Simpson said Tuesday. "It gives me a chance to have a fresh start and another opportunity to play somewhere else. I'm excited about the opportunity to move on."

"I had fun this year playing the game even amidst all the turmoil," Simpson said. "My body feels great and I'm on top of my game. I look forward to continuing my career and having an opportunity to win a championship."

"I didn't mind playing in Winnipeg but I just don't want to be in that situation with the way they tried to run my name down."

Was it because he's black?

Mike Kelly sure burned a lot of bridges. He brought a once proud organization to the lowest of the low.

Yuck....so glad he's gone.

I'm not a Bombers fan but I have tons of Winterpeg friends that are hardcore fans (I guess thats about all they have to cheer for sports wise) and they were awfully quiet all season long. Hopefully they can start rebuilding this team, but there may be more house cleaning to do still.

Most times coaches are made scapegoats/fallguys/patsy's for others inabilities, and its a shame.

Not this time.

Speculation on the radio this afternoon was that Tom Higgins is the obvious replacement.
