Signing Thomas is like fixing a flat tire by using another flat tire. Nothing changes as we still have a flat tire. Thomas should retire so we can move on. This goes on year after year. Thomas best before date was 2019.

Muamba. Bye.

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.

That is the last thing. Tell ya what, with that strange line of logic, I'll give you the last word.

Like I said, he's gone. Not worth arguing anymore.

What do you expect him to say? That he missed it. Yeah, that'd play well with the fanbase. The guy's gonna say that to save his ass, Chances are he's never coming back so it seems dumb to argue about it anymore.

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.

Legs shanked it & had it not been blocked he'd have missed. Duningan said that on TSN. He was there & saw the play. He had a better view than we did on tv. This, "it was blocked" is just a big excuse. Sorry, not sorry.

Legs had one job when he had to kick that FG. He failed. Walyers & Osh told him to hit the road with an apple & a road map to Hamilton.

I doubt if Football Canada or the provincial bodies would sanction something like this so insurance would be very expensive. Senior football used to be very popular in the 1950's & 60's & there was even a national championship but the leagues in Canada all went under because of the cost. I'm not saying what Booch & you are proposing isn't a good idea as it is but we have a huge country & to establish some kind of a league for Canadians & American kids would be very difficult.

We've all done stupid stuff where thinking back.... things could have turned out very bad. I had a fight in a bar (Maryland Hotel) which was a dive even back in the late 70's & held my own with this dude until another guy jumped in. Then it was a matter of getting them off me which my friend did & running for our lives to his car which luckily was parked close to the door. He had managed to get out ahead of me & unlocked his car. We got the hell outta there so fast. My buddy drove like a maniac south on Maryland & then east on Portage. We started feeling safe when we got to Osborne Street & calmed down when we realized they weren't following us. I shudder to this day thinking what might have happened if I had to open the door with a key.... as I know at least two maybe three guys ran out of the pub after us. I was so scared I never even felt the bruising & blood on my face I had. As well as a cut on my right hand as I recall. We had gone to see the strippers & the bar was full of bikers & other low lifes. I never had another bar fight again. Learned my lesson.

Dunigan said from his view that had it cleared the players that Legs had shanked it left. He's fricking lucky it was blocked as the argument will always be, would he have made it? Anyway, I think Walters & O'Shea gave us the answer when Legs was released.

When is Laine's contract up? I just checked as it's up after the 2025-26 season. An $8.75 million hit the next two seasons after this. Yes, we won't be trading for him. That contract is brutal.

He's a gooder. But of course, they'll keep him on the bench.

Probably not as Canadian OL are paid a premium over Americans, which is sad. A guy like Bryant should be much better paid. Especially over some of the interior Canadian O Linemen like Sukh Chungh who for the most part is a pylon when it comes to pass blocking but gets extremely well paid to yell out that old lookout block to Adams.

Thanks. Makes sense.

Could you imagine the outcry if junior leagues across the country opened up their rosters to Americans right across Canada because in order to do what you're suggesting that would be the only way. CFL teams wouldn't spend a penny on funding a developmental league for young American players as the CFL is broke. Canadian kids out of high school looking for a place to play & develop would be the first to be froze out as they can't compete with better trained Americans. Especially on both sides of the LOS. Whether it would be good for the CFL or not, it would never happen. It certainly wouldn't happen at the U Sport level with government funding. I doubt if the Provincial Football Boards as well as Football Canada would sanction it anyway.

We lost one more regular season game in 2023 than in 2022. We lost the GC by 4 points in 2023 instead of by one in 2022. So, you're saying we had a worse season? That's like Jim Kirk saying to Federation Agriculture Under Secretary Nilz Baris in ST: TOS Episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles", I was not aware Mr. Baris that twelve Klingons constitutes a swarm".
