It's not 6 months work when you factor in that they have to work out every single day, 12 months of the year to be in football shape. Hasn't been a part time job in many many years. Factor in that your career can be over in a heartbeat in this rough sport, and they should be getting every penny they can.

I did not have sexual relations...with that fur coat....

Yes, there’s definitely contact in practice, but guys are generally not trying to put each other through the boards. Really hope Ehlers can play tonight, for obvious reasons, but also because I hate the 11 - 7 lineup.

Apparently KConn was a full participant, full contact jersey today....

Not sure how you figure that. A guy on a practice roster activated for less than half a season in the NFL made more than Collaros will. BLM and Reilly made more in 19 than Collaros will in 24. There's no reason for Collaros to even entertain the conversation.

Now I'm ******* angry all over again. Thanks jerks.

I've never liked you.

It's the one position where you can't cheap out. You can slide lesser talent in here and there at other positions, but not at QB

He’s a GTD.

I work out pretty much every single day...plus train others...and have a full time job...same as when I played...it's a lifestyle...and if u make it yours then yes u are getting paid X amount of $'s for 6 months

Couple good lasers, and we're golden.

As the years go by and the average fan is more tech savy, more people will just use the already easy to use streams that people post online.

Streveler straight up for Dru Brown and Prukop? Upgrade in my books. Does it bring back too many bad memories?

Not really. Players who are in the early parts of their careers and still accumulating experience are appreciating assets.

Why do people compare the NFL to the CFL? It's in another stratosphere so they should pay more so who cares? QBs making more in 2019 before the pandemic just shows how the CFL is shrinking & not growing while the CFL does nothing to spur growth. Personally, I don't care if Nathan Rourke made more money than any CFL qb did. Of course Collaros doesn't have to "entertain" anything. But for the good of the team he should. It's obvious the Bombers are up against it with the ridiculously low salary cap.

some interesting stuff from Our Man Tait, and I highly encourage you to give him a click: https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/01/12/1st-10-january-12/ Just a teaser for you that I think a few will have interesting: Had a great conversation with new Blue Bombers defensive coordinator Jordan Younger earlier this week. That story can be found here. Yours truly couldn’t cram everything from a 24-minute chat into that first piece, and one of the intriguing chunks not included was a discussion on how Younger puts his stamp on the Blue Bombers defence. That answer, it turns out, is both complicated and fascinating. “Let’s talk about blitzing, for example,” Younger said. “it’s not about whether there is more or less of that, it’s when you do it. Everybody’s doing similar things at the end of the day. You’re rushing four, you’re rushing five, you’re rushing six or rushing seven. Those are the options on the table. What makes each play caller unique is how well can you make coverages, systems and reads match up with what the offence is doing. We’ll try to be dynamic that way where we have tools built into the system so we can solve problems in real time and not necessarily have to wait until we review what was going on. That would be my goal.

No 55, or 81. Kupari draws in. Keep it rolling Jets! Philly comes in from an OT win against the Wild.

I have family in that line of work. Many try it due to the $$, and many can't hack it.

You know me...I don't watch the no fun league.

Thorax issue apparently...

Whatever you do... don't visit sportsurge.net for any sporting event streams. But if you do... make sure an ad blocker is being used on your browser.

I didnt look/post on here for 2 months, and i still havent gone on cfl.ca since.....

Yeah don’t think they going all out against each other but in the past there have been fights amongst team mates at practice. Chiarot vs Wheeler was a thing.

To everyone who thinks that Collaros should take a pay cut... How would you react if your boss came to you and said "How 'bout taking a $100K pay cut so we can keep the guy who wants to take your job around?". I don't think it would go well.

Yeah and the Lions gutted the rest of their roster to pay Reilly that much. They finished at 5 -13 and out of the play offs. That's why it's not sustainable.

Except that most people can't do that kind of work.

Google: reddit cfl streams Precisely.

I don’t believe so because when guys are injured they wear different coloured jerseys so ppl won’t hit them. I think there is contact in practice.

This news story is making its way around the world now, good job SQ. It is not illegal to take a photo OR post a photo of someone who is in public and/or where no reasonable expectation of privacy is assumed. Someone who is stealing a package from your front porch would fall under that category. If a thief were to try to make a case of defamation , they would have to admit guilt in stealing the package. I believe what SQ is trying to avoid is people being vigilantes and/or if someone were to post false information and a witch hunt is created on an innocent party. So in some aspects they are correct. But to suggest not posting porch pirate videos online at all is just silly. On the local facebook group that I'm in, people posting car thieves and porch pirates has helped out quite a bit in at least scaring some people away and/or catching them. It's far more effective for someone to post a clear photo on Facebook where the general public instantly gets the picture so that they can look out themselves rather then calling WPS and three weeks later they finally send out a message. Just my 2 cents.

Go work on an oil rig platform in the North Sea for 2 months. About $50,000 a month in salary on average.

I'd be on the same level tech savvy wise as Davy Crockett would be if he was alive.

The only reason we can see in Canada it is that Peacock doesn't sell subscriptions outside of the US.

Agree.

Seems silly not to call a guy up unless the moose are in Australia or something

If we reduced Canadians or eliminated the ratio then the cost of players salaries would be greatly reduced. It always bothered me seeing someone like Jeremiah Masoli get pummelled because the Canadian guard blocking an American DT is nothing more than a pylon. He makes more $$ than an American would in his place.

Yeah, my days at the U of M with parties, beer bashes & socials. Then being single after I graduated & started working full time. Spent a lot of time in the bars. I have more than a few stories I won't ever tell.

Make sure the room has plenty of ventilation.

It’s true. If you are building a team I think it’s much easier to build around a cheap running qb and hope to find a guy who can carry you to wins with his arm down the road. Once you lock in that contract and have a reasonable back up your clock is running and it’s late in the evening. I think the fact that we had to win with D, turn overs, teams, and running game to start with allowed us to progress into a dynasty. I’m talking pre Nichols, then Nichols then post Nichols, we slowly moved up from a team that had to win with every thing but qb, to a team that could manage the game to a team that could dominate. When you start around offence I don’t think you ever develop that defensive attitude of expecting to have to win the game every week instead of just not losing it. Qb is the most important position, but it’s not a head of any unit on the team, and the strength of it diminishes faster than any other position. Put prime flutie on our worst teams in the past 20 years and you have a terrible team and an injured flutie. Put this ol in their prime on it and they’ll find a qb who can game manage. I mean that coat has probably seen more action than the beds in a motley Crüe tour bus too. I’d put it on a mannequin with the jeans cowboy hat/boots no shirt and a fake beard behind 4 inches of glass in the bomber store.

I’d like to see him get a shot… In the top 6. It would likely only be a few games, so why not?

Protect NE at all costs please and thank you. He's just starting to get his mojo back.

Not too worried about it. He stayed at QB and was working on throwing mechanics a lot more. Only thing I'd be worried about with a guy who is 5 years older is willingness to run recklessly like he did in 18 and 19.

Believe it or not Strev. lost track of that fur coat, it should have been put up for auction for a charity or in the BB HOF as a preserved artifact. In an interview he said he borrowed it from the mother of his GF's at the time, but I think Strev. found himself a new GF. Not sure the lady was from Wpg. but with a little bit of sleuthing it could probably be located. 🤫

No kidding. Anyone who complains about Winnipeg mosquitoes, should drive several hours north and go outside after dark.

I wish I got paid 80k for 6 months of work.

Wonder if he sends Arniel.

There are lots of asshat coaches or managers in every major pro league. Good or bad the players have to play for everyone even if they don't like it. Darryl "Chuckles" Sutter is another coach players hated but they had no choice.

no one wants to play for Torts. How that clown stays in the NHL is a mystery.
