It was the need for Black to make up dumb nicknames for players that always bugged me. The last straw for me was calling Schaffer-Baker "the play-maker Baker" or some such nonsense. Like come on man. Anyway, the classy thing to do would have been letting Rod bow out at the end of the CFL season, but I don't think anyone will accuse Bell Media of having a lot of class.

while Rod was gulping down turkey on Monday with Forde he did not look like a guy ready to hang em up.

When I was in Montreal a few years ago they were using the Big O to house refugees that were coming over the border at Roxham Road Quebec. Thousands of them apparently. I assume with COVID that need wasn't there anymore.

Could be one of many guys from back then. Freddie Olausson apparently had a problem with the bottle too...

Without Houston, they have a problem.

Same reaction. I didn't know what to think on that one. Also not sure where in training camp they were at at that point. It wasn't like Dillon was blowing guys up, but he was playing hard. Not sure why playing soft in scrimmages is the "Winnipeg Jets way", or maybe Wheeler was just worried that Dillon was going to hurt someone?

Did anyone see that clip of Dillon in training camp, and how he was cranking guys in the scrimmage? Finally Wheeler went over to him and told him to cool it. I wonder if that's how Washington scrimmages.

We could use a knock-off of Gritty though, he's amazing! LOL

LOL - yes the long-lost Rod Black John Gruden emails have surfaced...good grief...

I'm afraid that I don't really understand the lingo. "Crashing parties"? What are McCain wedges? She was on a flight with me back in 2019 from Toronto to Kelowna. Sat one row behind me. I was going to say "Hey there Natasha!" while stowing my bag in the overhead but she gave me this look of death before I could say anything so I didn't bother. LOL

If I had known Hanson was playing the game I'd have bought tickets and flown in for the game!! Too late now!! ARGH!

Does he want to do some CFL games?

well if this leads to Chris Cuthbert coming back I'm all in. TSN is shedding people like crazy. What happened to O'Toole? Onrait just looks lost now without his buddy.

Weird timing. Just on Monday he was talking about how great the Thanksgiving turkey was that he and Forde were eating during the Montreal game. And now he's just gone? What? In the middle of the season?

That Ekakitie pick was the one we got from Toronto for Drew Willy correct? Who by that point was a pick machine and essentially done as a QB. Unless my memory is slipping. I'm not saying that it makes that pick any less a bust, but it does soften the blow that it was a gift pick in the first place. Sort of I guess. Blue Bombers ship Willy to Argos; acquire Glenn in trade with Als - CFL.ca

Woah there Mark. This sounds like a non-issue. Let's handle it internally....

Or Tim Burke - "we're on the cusp"...

Eli is a major force. Re-watched his blocking in the Edmonton game, he was just rolling over guys. We have to keep that kid around long-term.

If the Bombers get to the 10 yard line, and have old Mo kick FG's all nite on first down, we may have an issue. Though he'd only have to hit four rouges to gain the margin of victory so even then....

Yup. Strevs being a great example. He could still run though. Lucky was useless out there.

This doesn't look good on the CFL...
