    I get this vibe sometime.

    Of course, I'm like this in about 25 years.

    What's inclusive? The rules have always been there in one form or another going back to the 60's. They just took the rules already there & expanded upon them. That's not being inclusive.
    One of my best friends is the son of Stamps great DT Don Luzzi. He's in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. He came to Calgary in 1957 born & raised in  Connecticut. He was an All American OT/DT at Villanova who played with Joe Faragalli. He played 11 seasons for the Stamps. After 5 years, he became a Canadian for roster purposes & played as a Canadian the rest of his career even though he never set foot in Canada until the day he arrived as a rookie for training camp. That was then. 
    As some of you know, my son lives in Seattle. His wife is an American. They're expecting their first child this coming May. If they have a son who plays high school & college football down there & is becomes good enough to be drafted by a CFL team then he could play as a Canadian because my son was a Canadian citizen. This is now. 
    The rules have always been there in one form or another. If anything as I said, it's an expansion to the rules of what teams can do now with their rosters on Game Day with the definition of a Canadian. That's not being inclusive.

    It's not stove persay, cause before him we had Nevis... we just really need that big strong as an ox body at DT to disrupt the interior of the LOS. Haven't had that since Stove left.

    it's a hamstring... those can be tricky. Best to let him get fully healed rather than rush him back and lose him for a more important part of the year.

    Gotta disagree with you there.  He is at minimum top 5 in the league - there's only a few others that run routes and make catches the way he does.

    Schoen and Lawler are the two best receivers in the league.... with Mack gone. You can't argue this point in good faith.

    That's an interesting development. 
    I'll take Wieneke here, especially if we can't re-sign Schoen.

    True but most corn production in this country is in Ontario. We're facing a losing battle. 
    Also, he's from Kansas.

    Totally disagree.
    Hatcher is probably out for the season, maybe back in October.
    Hollins is pretty clearly a third receiver.  When Rhymes went out they used McInnis and Cottoy a lot more.  Hollins is good not great at getting separation, more of a zone buster playing off others.
    I think BC will be all over Schoen.  I'm not really sure why anyone should care about the 6'8 31 year old receiver who hasn't made a team since D2.
    If you had a draft of all CFL players, Lawler or Begelton would probably be the first receiver off the board.  They are the only two guys with the full route tree and just crazy dangerous with the ball.

    well if they need help moving the goalposts there's a few people around here could probably help...

    The better half and I were staying at the Delta (near Scotiabank & Skydome) in August to make it easier to get to the game (1 train stop) and allow partaking in the festivities without worrying about how much we (I) drink.
    We come down the elevator and turn left to go to Union and not 20 second later a  guy who was coming from the other direction, dressed in black from sneakers to hoodie stops his e-scooter in front of us, removes his headphones and says "Pardon me, I just wanted to ask who your favorite player on defence is?" We were wearing our Argo gear.
    Looking up to him (he had an extra 4 inches on his scooter) without even thinking I answer back "Pickett. He's everywhere."
    He says "Aw man, it isn't me?"
    Not recognizing his face and hating to have to ask I said "I'm sorry man, I don't recognize your face..."
    He introduces himself politely. It's Stiggers. Hands are shook. 
    I tell him "Well 42, maybe I just didn't say it was you since I'm fairly sure that you'll be off to somewhere down south next year." He laughs and thanks us for the encouragement. Nice guy. We wish him all the best.
    He scoots off westward at 35kmh, we hop a train to the tailgate.
    We get there and everyone was telling us how bad we missed out because AJ, who wasn't playing that day, had been by to partake. I tell them about Qwan'tez. Laughs and beers were had. Argos win.
     
    I miss football season.

    and he lives in Regina "full time" (when he's not in Winnipeg coaching) so going to TO seems like a bit of a stretch, especially at this point in his life.
