Jamie Nye: Bombers failing their fans and CFL fans

Amen, Glen Suitor.

Suitor giving it to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for being very coy about the injury to Andrew Harris and even preventing media from speaking to him is spot on.

Harris is a Most Outstanding Player candidate and ready to play Edmonton for top spot in the West Division. He gets injured at practice, and all we get as fans is the usually protective and secretive Mike O’Shea saying he should play. He might play. We’ll see.

We’ve seen this in Saskatchewan with Craig Dickenson this season when he gives an injury update saying a player is a little nicked up and all of a sudden ends up on the six-game injured list.

The league is trying to get serious with fantasy football and fan engagement, yet the teams aren’t participating.

This is where the NFL kicks the CFL’s rear end — injury reports, gambling and fantasy. They all go hand in hand. The NFL discloses injuries, practice participation and severity of the injury with questionable, doubtful and out designations. The CFL makes you guess.

These little things add up to big things, and right now interest in the CFL is a big problem.
