Lots of time left and Matthews is definitely deserving but so is Laine. People just keep pointing out that he's playing with rookies, so why not look at the match ups?!?!

Playing against the opponents third and fourth lines.

"We" as in the Stampeders? Riders don't have a starting QB. They have several back-ups.

Has it been reported here that Steele signed with the Riders? Too bad. I would have liked to see him here. I can only hope the Riders have overpaid for him.

What's wrong with putting a forward on d to QB the PP?

Are you saying that non of those players will be available at 6? I don't think Vandervoort will be there at 6 and you can still likely get one of the above.

Which is a real shame. I have a sense that the Bombers would have really liked him. Although, that's just a feeling and not based on any information that I have or real knowledge. Any chance the Bombers take him at 1?

First time, back-to-back Calder champion. Greatest. Player. Ever. There's an actual debate going on right now (in the media too), of whether they would do a straight-up trade for Matthews - McDavid. Lots of people are preferring Matthews. They're so delusional. Anyhow, I hope Connor plays a few more weeks with the Moose. Things are going so well for him that they must disrupt it. Total PoMo move.

I believe it was because Ankou is getting some NFL attention.

I'm sure it's very comparable work.

I think it's good they finally have a drug policy but disagree on how it's being implemented. Funny how nuance works. Eyes wide open, teams should still be able to draft Simonise but he shouldn't be able to play until a four game suspension has been served. EDIT: I'm not sure how a four game NFL suspension equates to an 18-game plus playoffs in the CFL?

Never mind the hand-wringing and naysaying when Couturier made the jump straight to the NHL. We'll know how good of a pic Richards was when he leaves the team. This year, next, or 5 years from now.

Yes, that would make the most sense. Evaluating something when all the information is in front of you.

No worries, unless you saw the tweet (or were in the Esks locker room), there's no way to know. I just can't imbed tweets currently. To quote Nichols, after Miller thanked the City of Edmonton: One of the best teammates. Taught me Canadian culture. Started our careers with 5 yrs together in Edm. Come to Winnipeg? (There's some emojis in there too)

They played together and are friends. When Miller was released, Nichols tweeted at him hoping that he would come to Winnipeg. I'll pull up the tweet later, when I can. Nichols commented how much he learned from Miller.

Nichols will be very happy.

He was just released by the Esks this week, if I remember correctly.

Nichols will be very happy with this signing.

I think it's great when fans from other clubs come here in the name of discussion and debate (and the odd jab or dig). But, to pretend you're a Bomber fan? That's not good. Be upfront and honest, like Ripper.

Better question is, why does a Stamps fan come here and pretend to be a Bomber fan?

Do yourself a favour and watch Alien. It's such a great movie and Ridley Scott did an amazing job. The rest were not my cup of tea - I don't like the shoot-em-up space alien flicks. Alien was not like that.

No one is claiming that he is a headcase, just that it was reported that he was. The most likely reason he didn't get picked was because he had real NFL opportunities. And, everyone passed him over, just like Loffler. Stamps took him at 18. EDIT: But that's good insight. Thank-you.

Bad optics, for sure, just not illegal. (Until we see contradictory evidence)

The question Sessions was asked was: Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day? To which he answered: No. So far, I have not seen any evidence to the contrary. The optics are terrible but I'm not sure they could prove he lied in his confirmation hearings.

And 3 in 4 days, right?
