If Nasty Nate and @Noeller had a love child, it might be this guy. Just need a nickname for him now...

I would have thought most vet posters here would be super offended to have their name put together with Nasty Nate to create a love child.

Yep, they love his intangibles. Outside of decent hands he doesn't have any pro wr traits. Gonna be soo gutted if we push him over clercius.

Clercius actually has good hands to be honest. He isnt straight line fast but more than adequate speedwise...just not twitchy fast but if we use him the rightway he doesnt need to be a fast twitch kinda guy...We have failed in utilizing hi,....and MCI for that matter as well. I think he would be better served as an inside guy as well as he is hard to take down when he has the ball and has shown he can run thru and over guys getting those gritty dirty yards. Also it's hard to truly gauge a guy when not used much, and when you do use him it's not in the best way for the player

Being slow, unathletic and a so so blocker are intangibles?

One day contract so Biggie can retire as a Bomber.

He's made a pretty good situation here from what I understand. He does a lot of work with coaching football too. I would be surprised if he leaves anytime soon.

MBB, You heard it first. Booch is making a comeback.

Group chat with my buddies, I said I'm already pulling for this guy to unseat Brady... Ha ha.

yep he’s too smart to be fast lol

Yes but as BC sucks and will continue to suck it all checks out. :)

I think its a smart move by Biggie if he plans on continuing to live in the Peg. I can see more opportunities for him if he has a Bomber hat on instead of a Lions.

Counterpoint.... I'm always going to cheer for the slow white guy just because.

Kind of a side bar....but Brady O's new TV show is up and running on CBC Gem. I plan on checking it out at some point this week.

Better would just be a nationalized American for the 8th spot https://www.cfl.ca/game-rule-ratio/ Nationalized Americans Nationalized American players are defined as having played with their current team for 3 years or at least 5 years in the League. One Nationalized American player may be listed as one of the eight National starters. National Players A Club must start at least eight Nationals, however one of these Nationals may be a Nationalized American. Prior to the game, each Club must identify how many National starters will be playing on offence and defence and that number cannot be deviated from.

Doyle Orange's son (Brendan O'Leary Orange) was a much better fit & more versatile than Clercius. We let him go to Hamilton. He had the same size Clercius has with better hands & speed. Go figure. Not surprising though considering how Walters managed our roster the past few years.

Why the roll eyes, Noeller? Bighill has a career as a financial planner. He has a list of clients he has to serve & will be taking on new ones. Now, that he's retired he needs more income so he'd want to ramp that up. Not be a Bomber assistant coach. Some guys don't want to coach. I was a financial planner for IG in the 1980's & it was damned hard work. Lots of long hours, evenings & weekends. I didn't have the connections Bighill has with the CFLPA. I could see him handling a lot of CFL players & coaches money & financial affairs. When I worked at IG in the Investors Building on Broadway, I had the pleasure to know the top rep in Canada named Ted Foreman. I assume he is no longer with us as he was in his 50's back in the mid 80's. Foreman was a former hockey player himself who got a huge break career wise when he was introduced to Bobby Hull after his signing with the Jets in 1972. He became his financial advisor. Hull spread the word & soon NHL & WHA players were calling him for advice. He handled investments & tax advice for all the big NHL players back then. Gretzky, Messier, Hull, Hawerchuk. All kinds of NHL stars. Walking into his office was like visiting a hockey shrine with photos & awards. Almost every photo had an autoghraph with the saying, "To Ted. Thanks for the Big Save!!" The guy was a frigging legend.

I agree that we are probably eyeing a US expansion once Trump is gone. Also agree on Biggie. Winnipeg is his home now, has been for a while and he doing great with IG apparently. His CFL most outstanding defensive player awards with Winnipeg say differently. lol. I'm not surprised at all he went out a Bomber. We set him up for life after football as well.

Chevy interview up on YouTube Maybe interesting to note that when asked if Arniel was back next season, Chevy did not say yes. He didn’t say no but if I’m reading between the lines I’m leaning towards Arniel is not back Said Helle is competitive passionate and emotional and wants to win as does the rest of the core. Said basically the deep dive into what actually happened starts now (That’s discouraging) but said you won’t be talking to lots of teams right now anyways about trades but in a few weeks time…. Says defensively responsible hockey is a mind set and they struggled defensively this past season and he wants to understand why. He’s spoken to the players and was gonna speak to all coaches soon I dunno. Chevy says lots without saying anything

1 earned modp, 1 default. If it was just his career here, he wouldn’t get a sniff of the hof. lots of guys got rings. His bc career is hof material by it self. That stretch was one of the best by any lber ever.

2 cups and (I believe) 2 MODPs here... Absolute ******* legend status. A no-doubter to go out as a Bomber. First ballot to every HOF possible.

Why? Has he ever indicated he even wants that. I thought he had his post playing career figured out already. Congrats to AB. 6 seasons here? 7 with BC, guess his time here was better for him.

I thought so too but maybe 2 Cups here versus 1 in BC plus he still lives here had something to do with it.

Just the best dude in the community, too. We were at Stella's prior to one of the many West Finals and had our back to the place so didn't even see him, but he came up and tapped us on the shoulder because my wife was wearing his jersey and wanted to chat. Asked us if we wanted it signed and was happy to get a picture taken. I lost my wife to him that day...

but Cobb is a better route runner....faster....can run jet....and return....Corcoran can..........lol....Osh needs to set aside his personal infatuations for the better good of the team....has had 1 to 2 of these kind of guys at minimum pretty much every yr....and he was putrid in the role of blocker last yr...MCI should have been doing that role and would have been an actual threat if he got he ball....and would have worked in his overall development as well. Hopefully we utilize him this yr and make him feel like part of the actual offense o I bet he bolts after this yr and becomes a nice player elsewhere on a team that utilizes his 6'2" 225+ pound frame and his 4.4/4.5 speed

It wasn't about work visas. The CFL's roster rules are illegal in the US. No business in the USA can have rules that reserve roster / staff spots for foreigners. -- a semi-related story -- When I was returning to Seattle from the 2024 Grey Cup, I told the USA border guard that I'd been up in Vancouver watching Canadian football. "That's the league with a Canadian quota?" he asked. I told him yes, he was right. "Doesn't work like that down in the States, only the best play," he said. What I wanted to say was "I hear that's how the Border Patrol works too," but I did not say that.

Thank you for your service to the Bombers. Adam. You werea beast in your prime. I thought you might retire as a BC Lion. Glad you picked us.

No don't trade him for a bag of pucks. Good grief, this is why we can't have nice things. I am for trading him if we can get some big value back, AND we have someone coming up behind him. Now would be a good time to maximize value for him for sure.

Saw some of the exit interview with him, he’s a conceited prick, great professional goaltender but still a conceited prick. This is why some professional athletes should not be idolized, they provide great entertainment but that’s where the appreciation should end for athletes like him.

Im a bit surprised biggie went out a bomber and not a lion. I love the guy and he had a couple big years here. But nothing like what he did in BC.
