When are you going to sign?

Schafer-Baker is the next Canadian superstar receiver in the CFL. He'll be a thousand yard receiver & probably a lot more with the Riders. Or someone else.

If Bo Levi Mitchell can take two paycuts in 2 seasons down from $700,000 a year then I think Walters & Biggie will come to an agreement. He's not stupid. He knows that the league has a hard cap & others want more $$ but that Walters will do what he can for him. Having said that, Walters has to make it right after that big a paycut.

Shame.

That is crazy but thanks to the Riders may be driving the qb market. At the same time, I just can't see Zach going anywhere else. We were the only team that gave him a chance when everyone else had given up.

The longer this pandemic goes on the more people hate the UCP. Everyone of every political stripe.

On everyone's.

Mike was HC at OSU but it wasn't for 20 years. He was also HC at Nebraska.

I think one of the advantages we have is that I think we spent closer to the floor than the ceiling which hopefully gives Walters some wiggle room to sign the guys he wants to keep.

Well, when your team has only won 4 Championships, you constantly grasp at straws

Man, we need the two J's back & Stove. That would be awesome.

i used to have a starter parka I bought during the 1994 season. I have a Seattle Seahawks throwback jacket like the one similar to the one Jeffcoat has. I want to get a Blue Bomber one but they never have my size.

It's a double edged sword. Denial & lack of trust on both sides. It's tough on everyone involved. And things sometimes don't go the way they should. Words & actions. A lot of hurt.

He came back to cheer on his old teammates. That counts for something.

In the past I've mentioned I have experience with addictions in my immediate family. A drunk or addict will say ANYTHING to fool a person to get exactly what they want. It's sad but true. Addiction is a form of mental illness. AB doesn't want help then all the hope in the world won't be enough. At the same time, we aren't medical professionals. We can't make a diagnosis based on a 10 minute video & a couple of interviews thrown in.

Bailey's a lock to be back iof he wants to be. It may be Woli who would leave.

Try telling an alcoholic or drug addict they can't do something until they get help when they don't want to. You'll be waiting a long time.

He'll get it. Maybe a bit more.

The person who designed that entire look must have been a meth head.

I was thinking about being back in junior high when every girl had a pic of some teeny bop singer taped inside their lockers.

Yeah, don't begrudge him at all. If I was him, I'd do the same thing. He'd be a huge loss on our offensive line.

Yep.

I don't want to quote the story about the death of the Thompson MLA last month as it has now been quoted a couple of times. I just want to say I'm sorry for Danielle Adams & her family. I lived in Thompson for two years from 1989 to 91. I was an Independent Adjuster which meant I was on the road travelling a lot to places like South Indian Lake, Cross Lake, Leaf Rapids & Lynn Lake. In the winter I'd use the winter roads to get to isolated communities I'd have to fly to in the summer. In January of 1990, there was a house fire in Lynn Lake. I had to get up there quickly & coundn't get a seat on the flight from Thompson to Lynne Lake so I decided to drive. Normally, it's a 6 hour drive but it had snowed the night before & the Hwy (391) wasn't plowed. No problem I thought. I had a brand new 4WD 1989 Ford Bronco II with new snow tires so I took off driving early, early the next morning. Got to Lynne Lake at about 1 PM with no issues. I adjusted the claim & left to go home about 5 pm in the dark. The Hwy was plowed by then but somewhere between Leaf Rapids & Thompson, I slid off the road on a curve on sheer ice & hit the ditch. There I was sitting in the ditch in the dark amid minus 35 temps wondering what to do? Trying not to panic, I thought through my options. Like, should I walk to what I thought was a nearby telephone tower to call for help but wisely decided to stay with my vehicle. I had burned my clutch out rocking my SUV back & forth trying to get unstuck. A pickup truck appeared in about the third hour. He stopped, came over when he saw my vehicle running with the lights on. The guy might have saved my life as I was nearly out of gas. We sat in his truck for a long while saying he won't leave me as it's too dangerous to be alone. A semi truck & trailer drove up to us & stopped. He had a chain & attached it to my SUV & pulled it out of the ditch & deep snow & went on his way. We then drove to that telephone tower (about 15 klms away) so glad I didn't try to walk in the brutal cold & dark as I may not have made it back to my Bronco. I was able to call my wife, tell her I was alright & not to worry. I then called a towing company in Thompson who arrived hours later. All the while the young guy never left my side with his warm truck. Tow truck finally arrived, picked up my SUV & towed my vehicle. I went with their driver back to Thompson. The pickup truck driver finally left & went on his way. He was a young First Nations guy who I'll never forget. That was quite the harrowing day. With the darkness & cold things could have turned out a lot differently. My decision to stay with my truck may have been the smartest choice I ever made. When you hear people say to never leave your vehicle & try to walk alone, they are telling the truth. Making the wrong decision will leave you dead in the bitter cold.
