The league will find a way to help with Argos with Cap relief when this happens... In the end I don't know if it matters to ZC or not but I suspect that Pinball whispered a number in his ear when he told him of the trade. Walters offer will be less but comes with play off money and the leagues best OL keeping him safe. Wanting to win and have the best chance to stay healthy vs Bigger $$.

I like that Strev deal, I think that would work for all parties. I have a hard time wrapping my head around paying Nichols over $500 000. I am not sure that management would agree with the sentiment that he deserves a pay bump, I would prefer something with more performance based compensation. I guess if he comes back and just doesn't have it you can release him but can't afford big up front at all.

I would love a chance to meet the man himself. His autobiography is my favourite sports related book and one of my all time favourite reads.

Thank you for understanding the sarcasm.

I am quite aware that Collaros become a FA in February, doesn’t change that we hold his rights until then. Could allow Desjardins to talk to his agent ahead of time and if they reach an agreement we trade and they sign an extension. Desjardins has to know he’s the next one fired and needs to give Lapo something to work with. I also think he’s petty enough that he would enjoy “sticking it” to Pinball.

Send Collaros to OTT for their first (2nd? Overall) and glady send our first (9th) to TO.

I am not saying this is a definite but a possibility to consider. Nichols has had the shoulder worked on so we know there are no underlying defects. He is going to be working harder than ever on rehabbing and strengthening his shoulder. Probably also working on throwing technique and mechanics. It is entire possible that he comes back better than before. His lower body has also had extra time to heal and strengthen. I am not a Nichols lover, have even called called him softer than his wife. What I didn’t realize is that he has a huge fire burning inside but keeps it in check on the field. I think if he would let some of the passion he showed at The Forks on display a little more often fans are going to support and get behind him more. I now firmly believe that he’s been neutered by Lapo and once he gets some different leadership he will be a differential person. I’d like to see him on a 2 year deal with a full starter price the first year and a lower with playing time bonuses the second year to back up Strev. Is it possible? I’d like to think so...

What station? 1290? They have no clue or sources other than Rod Penishead.

I tried that one on my iPad and it’s a little busy. Willie J is just right. I wish they would extend him already, I need a new jersey.

I suck at Twitter, can someone find Winston Rose's recent tweet and embed it? "I miss my Team. I miss walking in IG Field. I miss the Fans. Damn Winnipeg ❤️.

Real cool initiative and a great way to get AH33 some extra $$ that doesn't apply to SMS...

Went by the store in St. Vital today, thought the selection was a little poor. Should have ordered online but wanted my discount... I guess a trip to the stadium will be required after all. Really wanted one of the grey T-shirts they had after the game but the sizing is a little "off" sized to fit football player bodies not middle aged desk jockeys...

I so wish I could have the Willie Jefferson one as my desk top but sadly those setting require admin privileges, stuck with corporate logo instead...

I haven't been to an LDC in almost 30 years, beginning to think next year might be the year to check out the clown show in person. Of course that would then mean 2 trips to Regina in a year... Have to think on that a little...

The only time I have them on at all is if I am in the car when the Jets are playing, that doesn't happen often. Can't even bring myself to listen to their pregame show on my way to a live game, they are just brutal time and time again. The stance against AH33 was what sealed the deal for any of their regular programming for me.

I realize Toth is not known for being more than a talking head but seriously? Rod Pedersen as his source make this worthy of a tweet? FFS there is no greater detail or certainty in that source or statement than reading any fan forum.

I believe that the ring ceremony is traditionally the home opener the following season. Supplemental presentations are often held when players that have left them team are in town facing the team the first time the next season.

Fan speculation running amok would someone floating the idea that he couldn't get back across the border after going home for the bye week. The comments that @Booch made were close to exact comments by Osh on the coaches show. I heard it as being as close as Osh has ever been calling out a player and basically said he quit on the team. He sure doesn't deserve a ring, everything he did was erased when he refused to take on a new role and didn't return after the bye week. If the reports of his IG post are correct I view that as him angling at getting a ring that he doesn't deserve.

Was Dickenson ever the ST Co-ordinator under Maas or had he moved on from Edmonton before Maas showed up? Can't really see those 2 getting along but then I have a hard time see Maas get along with anyone.

When I read "Junk''s article the first thing I thought was "He's been reading MBB, he should properly credit his sources."

Wade said on CJOB this morning that lots more arriving Wednesday and Thursday this week. They’ll keep printing it as long as people are buying it. Said they sold 3500 hats in the first week.

Would be a exciting season, likely somewhere between 8-10 and 10-8 with a playoff appearance. I’d be even less apprehensive about it in 2021, would still like a vet here in 2020

Had an email exchange with a customer I haven’t talked to in over a week. She was lamenting that she was sick and unable to attend the Grey Cup party she intended too. She apparently didn’t feel too bad about it, she’s a Ti-Cat fan...

Not to mention a ring that will be worth at least $5k (my guess) as well as a bunch of travel money for family to attend the big game and likely other appearance $$ for showing up at different celebrations. I can’t see any FA not signing here over $5 or 10k like we heard not so many years ago.

Thanks @Booch , I have to think those numbers mean something to the players. A guy on a league minimum deal gets quite a nice extra chunk for being on a good team.
