Apparently players still want out of Calgary even though Treliving & Sutter are gone. It seems that this problem of signing players isn't just in Winnipeg.

Gizmo had 31 returns for TDs called back. Giz is the greatest. Grant though is very good as well. I'm glad he's on our side.

Huge swaths? PPC currently checks in at 2% of the popular vote. And Bernier is currently at 0-4. Guibault is an extremist. Trudeau recruited him with the express desire for him to take over the Environment to do his dirty work.

Amen & it's tearing our country apart.

There are some Conservative policies I don't like as well as some CPC politicians but overall I think that we desperately need a change. I also think the CPC will provide us with better government. That's how I feel & nothing will change it. And yeah, for every right wing crazy thre's a left wing crazy as well. There are left wing zealots in the Liberal & NDP as well.

No, not at all. The PPC are a party of anti vaxxers, religious zealots, pro life & conspiracy theorists. None of which I am. I think Bernier is a total fool & has created the PPC & says whatever he thinks will get him votes. I would never vote for him or the PPC. I'm a CPC supporter. I laughed when I read he lost.

I feel bad for Wheeler. He's given a lot to the Winnipeg community. He should retire.

My bad, as Cornelius has Jarious Jackson as a qb coach. And the Bombers will have both here next season. If the market says a receiver is worth $300,000 then he is.

My reaction after living in Calgary for the past 33 years... I don't see where a new stadium in Calgary would even be considered. All of the track & field plus opening & closing ceremonies would be in Edmonton at CWS, I'd think. All they have to do is tear out the field, put in grass as well as a running track. Plus they mention a Field house for Calgary but as usual, no stadium. This city doesn't deserve a CFL team.

Yes, utterly.... &.... absolutely.... heartbreaking!

We saw the Chad kelly Show last night & Jim Kelly's nephew played well especially in the first half. He may be the real deal. Once again, it brings up the question, why do some CFL qbs get it & others don't?? AFAIK, Cornelius has no qb coach in Edmonton. He's being coached up at the qb position by a former OL who is the OC. The most important position on the team & Jones didn't think it was important enough to bring in a qb coach. That could be part of the problem why Cornelius struggles.

Jones is a guy who thinks he knows more than anyone else. He is so stubbornly stupid. This is also the problem when you load up one person to make all the scouting, personnel & coaching decisions. Jones had built his own little empire within the team. With the damned coach & admin cap firing him & replacing him with multiple people will be more expensive. So, the Elks seem stuck with this guy for the foreseeable future. He knows it & doesn't care what anyone thinks. Not everyone figures it out. I'd say that my generation is much more in tune than my father's. He smoked his face off before quitting & drank a lot until his 70's. Most of my friends parents were like that when I was growing up.

Yeah, as we get older we mature & think back... At least for me, I think how could I have been so stupid? That's what life is all about, though. The older we get the more wiser we supposedly become. That's why when I read some of the critical comments some made about Lawler a couple of years ago, they were all correct. No denying that. But I never criticized him as I was just as guilty as Kenny.

Bailey may be a casualty next year as well as he's making a bit over a hundred thousand, getting into his 30's & on a 1 year deal. I see some guys defensively as you say who may be gone like Jeffcoat & Rose. Why pay Jeffcoat when he can't play? I love the guy but there are other assets we need so salaries from some older players will have to be cut. I don't think we'll bring the entire band back together again like we did this year but if 70% come back next season (& that might be high) I'll be more than happy with that. It may also open the door signing some quality free agents here as well.

Lawler is paying for his serious lack of judgement two years ago. I'm sure he'll be relieved to get this legal stuff over with & behind him when it's over. Pretty expensive lesson. I'm not going to say we've all done it as I'm sure some here haven't but I'll be honest, 40-45 years ago when I was in my 20's & single, I got behind the wheel & drove home from a bar or party way over the legal limit plenty of times. I was just lucky I never got caught. The law was severe back then but not as severe as it is now. I hardly drink anymore & when I do it's at home. My kids & their wives don't drink so when we go there liquor is never served. My friends for the most part don't either. So, when we socialize it's juice, pop or water. I have liquor in my liquor cabinet still left over from last Xmas. But hey, back in the early 80's it was party time & I did some stupid things like drinking & driving. I made the same decisions Lawler made getting behind the wheel so I can't be harsh with him or I'm a hypocrite. We both very bad choices. I just got away with it because it was a fluke the cops never pulled me over.

I hope so.

I think they find a way to keep both Lawler & Schoen. I think they'll also want to bring in some OL free agents if there's a mass retirement at the same time. Some older veterans will hit the road to save money in areas where they think they can get away with it. You don't cheap out on the OL.

Even though we're a pass first team, I'm worried about our running game without Oliveira. Augustine isn't the blocker Brady is. He's a streaky runner. He could rush for ahundred yards or twenty. Even if Oliveira plays he probably won't be at 100%.

I disagree with some of that. I don't think any of our OL are in the Top 5 as far as salary goes so to replace Bryant, Yoshi & Neufeld will get expensive. There'll be no home town discounts for free agents coming to town to replace them. We'll have to pay top dollar to replace those 3 eventually. Hopefully, one at a time & not all 3 at once.

Habba looks like a keeper. I can't see how you can take him out when Jeffcoat is back. We can't depend on Jeffcoat anymore. He is too injury prone now.

Agreed. Enjoy the Greatest Air Show On earth as it won't get any better than this. These are the good old days.

Want to talk Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Weird that Captain Pike took the first episode off & we see Spock somehow struggling with his emotions over his love & concern for Nurse Chappel. If we stick to ST Canon, if Spock did love Chappell, he never showed it on TOS. At times, he seemed annoyed at her amorous feelings towards him back when the series first aired in 1966. So, why are they trying to change things now? His logic may have been cold at times but it gave Spock his strength when the chips were down & Kirk leaned on him for advice & to provide him with strength as well. Seeing Spock fighting his emotions & under stress on SNW because he was given command of the Enterprise for only 3 days just seemed weird to me. Nice to see regular Klingons again rather than the ones we saw on ST: Discovery. The blowback from angry fans that first season was so bad we never saw them again on that series.

And of course the cheapskate owner who doesn't care if the Stamps even exist let him walk just like Jameer Thurman. You get owners like Amar Doamn really trying to make the Lions relevant in the Lower Mainland once again. And you get an owner like Murray Edwards in Calgary who use the Stamps financial losses as a tax write off for his billions. That's all he cares about. The man is killing the fanbase. The Stamps desperately need a new stadium & a new owner who actually cares.

he never learned last year. A singl wide receiver no matter how good he is will barely win you games, let alone championships. Lewis will be one & done this season.

Gary Bettman nods his approval of your post.
