It does become physically and mentally exhausting knowing any time the ball is snapped, you’re going to get smacked around. I remember a Steve Yzerman interview where he talked about playing against Chris Pronger, said by the 15th time you’re going into the corner against him, it becomes extremely imposing. Different sport, but same analogy. Especially when it’s cold, and the turf is as hard as concrete.

Well, they need to realize they’re screwed anyway. If you’re gonna finish last the west, you may as well bring in someone new. JOD’s decision to stick with Dickenson is a head scratcher for sure.

These videos absolutely kill me. The volleyball one is gold too.

What you hear is me aggressively slamming my head against my keyboard at work.

I had a ton of fun at Atlantic Schooner too. Do they still do it??

Brandon Banks is playing in his 5th Grey Cup, that’s wild to me. The thought of him losing again and going 0-5 is a nice thought. He doesn’t deserve a ring.

He was a stud at Ol’ Miss. Mr. Irrelevant (drafted with the very last pick) by Denver in the NFL Draft. Got in a tussle at a bar and his NFL career was over.

Signed on October 5th. Bombers homework is so impressive.

No one will admit it, but football fans miss the Patriots being dominant. It’s fun to have a big bad bully that everyone wants to beat. These Bombers will be admired by all one day.

Hah! Allegedly, on the plane ride from Denver to London, Russell Wilson was stretching and doing high knees up and down the aisles.

All that you have to see is the 2014 Grey Cup to know his true personality.

Can you imagine being a young Argonauts receiver and having to ask Brandon Banks how to keep your composure in big games?

I wonder how badly they wish they had him on Sunday. Such a difference maker.

Burnham is their only free agent WR listed, Bo Lokombo, TJ Lee, and Gary Peters are the other big names. Along with most of their OLine.

Yea I never considered BC till now. One could even wonder if Rourke getting invites intrigued Bo enough to want to see if BC makes a play.

Strengths are their DLine/Linebackers. Oakman is a force in the middle, and McManis could’ve been DPOY this year. Chris Edwards is a pretty good cover linebacker. Their secondary is… decent. Jamal Peters is the best there and he’s pretty dang good. Outside of him, not great, but not bad. Amos’ best days are behind him.

That’s just it, list looks pretty good. Jones was pretty dominant yea… I wish the CFL tracked targets and such more for DBs. Be curious to see who the best of the best are.

Only guy eligible was Moncrief, and they went with Cam Kelly for his spot. If only the Riders wouldn’t have disrespected Willie Jefferson. He wanted to get paid, and they decided to pay Micah Johnson instead.

Bo Levi just said on radio he won’t be signing anywhere till free agency. Wants to see where players/coaches go and what offers are like.

Yep, per Adam Schefter, Rourke begins NFL workouts next week. He’s likely going to get his shot.

Hopefully similar to Grey Cup 101. Was just perfect weather.

Ricky Ray appeared to him in a dream and told him to go to Dagobah

Love it. The Patriots exclusively wore white in their second set of Super Bowl runs after 2014. Players said they’d won in them before, so it gave them an extra boost.

Stegall calls him the “worst best QB in the CFL” and I think it’s completely accurate.

I can’t wait for JOD to do nothing this offseason, Dickenson to say “we like our team they’re good men” and the Riders to go 4-14. Gonna be such a long season.
