MY wife bought me a discount card of 10% for Xmas so I'll probably buy a jersey. I always go heritage players so it may be #27 Raimey, #11 Ploen or #2 Clements.

2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News

What kind of money do players get for a housing allowance playing in BC or Toronto as compared to Winnipeg or Regina? -
Well, I kinda do but yeah, I'm no expert. However, I don't think I'm completely wrong. When we spend on players that are borderline like Thomas then there's less for others. I'd have been happy if we got younger thru free agency or the draft. I do concede that you are more of an expert than I am on the draft & the salary cap. So, please explain it. I'd truly like to know how it works, though.

At least Weathers went out in a blaze of glory in this ad. RIP.

I saw Weathers in that Gronk commercial last weekend. I remarked to my wife how great he seemed to look. He seemed fit & trim.

Money, money, money, money. Show me the money. -
Campbell will have a short shelf life as a HC in Detroit if he doesn't change his ways. Like the Bombers with Ray Jauch who got so full of himself because he always seemed to win that he took the big bucks of the USFL over the Bombers in 1983, his replacement Cal Murphy won the GC as Bombers HC in 1984. Jauch couldn't get out of the West as Bomber HC. It took another HC in Murphy to realize the Bombers true potential. I can see the same thing happening in Detroit. It may take another head coach to elevate that team even further.

Sixty six years.

Detroit is going to give the 49ers fits today. They may not win but this game should be close. Flea flicker for a 42 yard TD & 7-0 Lions.

Lamar is so overrated. Ugh, Lions white pants!!

Looks like no Zach today.

When my son played JUCO in Northern Cali, he was the only Canadian on the roster. Most of his teammates were black & came from the Hood in LA, San Diego, San Fran, Oakland, San Bernadino, Sacramento,etc. These kids were dirt poor & went to lousy & substandard high schools so their grades were below the standards needed to play in the NCAA. Most of these kids got horrible SAT scores & could barely finish high school. Their reading comprehension may have been on a Grade 7 level. Don't even talk about math & the sciences. Their socio economic disadvantages were many. Most kids that got into JUCO tried to follow the dream of playing for a 2 year scholarship at a prestigious D1 college to get their NFL shot & that was their only goal. Most, if not all didn't know where Canada was, couldn't name one Canadian city & or even heard of the CFL. Never having being exposed to the CFL growing they didn't know about the opportunities available to them. Most didn't want to come to Canada. I guess they want to go back to the Hood with their gang friends & live the lifestyle rather than take a life gamble & give the CFL a shot. Even though life for them is hard, it's all they know outside of football. I'd be skeptical this would work but having said that, it's at least an idea that is outside the box & we've shown more initiative discussing it than the CFL has done marketing the league or improving scouting in a decade. So, good job at least coming up with ideas to discuss. -
Dunigan doesn't go on a broadcast & say something like that unless he had it corroborated by others as well. What would he have to gain to disparage Lieghhio like that? Anyway, if his kick was straight & true then why did the Bombers dump him? He did all 3 phases of kicking. It would have been advantageous to keep him.
