Also, you can watch Chris Streveler on Instagram @cstrevy5. I've been following his off season workouts & I don't think I've seen a pro athlete work as hard as Streveler, not only to overcome his knee injury but also to keep working on changing his fundamentals from the old "linear" to the more modern "rotational" qb. He looks ready to go as well.

If you follow qbmotion on Instagram, then you could have watched Rourke work out every day since New Years Day. The guy has put in the work this off season & he looks ready to go.

Mathis, like Perry Como had such a looooooooooooooooooong career as a crooner spanning the generations.

I think Buck is very conservative in his play calling. He had a qb & two wideouts (Lawler & Schoen) who could stretch the field. When he lost Schoen for the season we couldn't do what we used to do, even after Lawler came back. I didn't see a lot of innovation or imagination with our passing attack. It'll be interesting what Buck does with Rourke. This might be a case of oil & water.

I get what you say but my response would be... Then retire. We have younger guys who are hungry but are blocked from developing into starters..

Val Kilmer: Tombstone: Doc Holiday kills Johnny Ringo in a showdown.

This is what happens when the CFL puts all of its eggs in one basket. Fans have said for years that the CFL doing business only with one network wasn't a great idea. Of course, would the CFL listen? Nope.

I think running a league is a bit different than running a football team & he did run TSN, so there's that. After Ambrosie, I have very little confidence that the guy they hired really will or won't do a good job. I feel the same way you do, wbbfan. But I'm willing to give the new guy a chance. I'm just thinking that no one could be as bad as Scarf Boy. Hopefully, the Halifax expansion BS is over. I'm expecting the new Commissioner to look for ways to increase revenues for the league as well as grow the game. And to not lie to fans & media just to make himself look good which is what Ambrosie did constantly. He had lost all his credibility.

Pretty gruelling for those poor old guys.

Patrick Neufeld better not be given a month long break only to be given back his starting Guard position the first regular season game. I think a lot of these long term training camp & pre season injuries would be a lot shorter or magically disappear if the veterans who take advantage of this know their jobs are on the line. I remember watching a documentary on Jimmy Johnson his first year as Head Coach in Dallas with the Cowboys. He wanted to change the culture of the team coming off of a couple of dismal losing seasons in Tom Landry's final years as Head Coach there. He noticed a running back struggling on the field. He went over & asked him what was wrong. He told Johnson that he had asthma. He told the running back that the "asthma field" was over there pointing to an empty practice field. He sent the player to the field to stand alone by himself. He cut him after practice. Johnson also cut veteran All Pro Henry Jordan after he complained training camp was too hard for him & that he needed to be a little more laid back. Cruel, perhaps? However, is a running back who can't get thru practice with asthma going to help the Cowboys win? Is a veteran who isn't all in at training camp going to be all in during a game? After all, at the pro level, it's all about winning & then maintaining that winning culture I'd like to see Osh be a lot harder on some of his veterans who may feel that they have it made in the shade. In particular, NG & Center. That includes giving positions to favourites without competition.

Kilmer just had that 'something' when he played a role. He had so much charisma in every character he played. He stole the movie Tombstone as Doc Holliday. He stole the first Top Gun movie in his role as Iceman. It was the same in every movie he was in. Kilmer should have been given the lead role in the first Top Gun motion picture instead of Tom Cruise because he owned that movie. Even in Top Gun: Maverick his scene with Cruise knowing that death was coming for his character was charismatic. All Cruise had to do was know his lines, be where he was supposed to be on the set during the scene & watch Kilmer at his best even in poor health. Rest in Peace.

Rekjavik? That is one place I wanted to go.

In 60 years of watching Bomber football, I have never seen anything like that gust of wind allowing us to win that game. That was incredible. I thought maybe God is a Bomber fan until he wasn't after Zach sliced his finger open on his throwing hand.

Delete comment. Wrong thread.

You make it sound like Adams "going down hill" for him was his fault. It was the owner, GM & HC who didn't have the faith in him all because they thought that Nathan Rourke would win them a Grey Cup based on his 9 game performance in 2023. It was their stupidity who derailed the Lions season. Nothing Adams did hurt the team as the guy was all in. At the time he was injured, Adams did everything that was asked of him & more. I think Rourke is a flash in the pan. He got on a hot streak in 2023. I think if anyone is an average qb, it's Rourke.

I'm old enough to remember Dr. Kildare back in the early 60's. Chamberlain had a hit tv show but from what I remember he never enjoyed playing the Kildare character saying it was boring. Interestingly, Dr Leonard Gillespie was played by long term & renowned Canadian Hollywood actor Raymond Massey, the younger brother of former Governor General Vincent Massey.

Adams was supposed to be their insurance if Rourke struggled or got hurt. Except they never used him like that. They were afraid if they traded Adams he'd come back to beat them. So yeah, keeping or trading him was the Lions own Kobayashi Maru nightmare scenario for the Lions. But I have no sympathy for them. They laid in their own ****.

I loved it & then we just intimidated everyone. Then we just stopped doing it. Instead of Stevie Richardson we have jake Thomas. It's crazy.

I think most of us were looking at us retaining Liam Dobson as well as impact signing on both the OL & DL & that was it. We didn't expect the team to spend like crazy but to address the needs in our weakest areas. That was my expectations.

It was but their passing offense was humming. Could they have maintained that level all season? That was a talented receiving corps. Probably not but who knows if Adams could have reached 6,000 yards passing. Campbell in one decision just took it all away. Whoever made that decision, it was the wrong one. And publicly, the HC will always wear it for all to see.

I'd be very unhappy if I was a BC Lions fan. The money spent might have worked if Rick Campbell hadn't effed it up by benching Vernon Adams who was having a MOP season until he got hurt. Taking the reigns away from Adams & giving it to Rourke killed their season .

Johnnzo, I dunno, man. You're a strange animal.

Things in Montreal just drag out for decades while things never change They were talking about a new downtown 30,000 seat baseball stadium 3 decades ago. Yet, here we are in 2025 & it's nowhere near being built as it was in 1998. Nowhere close to getting an expansion franchise either.

We were all excited about Tui Eli as a Center than Osh went poof!!

I understand Mark Weightman is extremely well connected in the Montreal business community. Was he forced out as this move makes no sense? Why would Weightman leave as they aren't anywhere near where they need to be in order to be a stable pro sports organization yet. One bad season & they're back to square one. You'd think he'd be moving mountains in the business community to get a new stadium built as well as a team in QC.
