Zach playing the entire game in a lazy boy recliner vs the Redblacks is still a massive advantage.

Edmonton Elks extend receiver Walker, add four new players (msn.com)

Exactly. This was Cal Murphy's specialty. No over-pays. He had a pipeline to great US talent and could keep air-lifting guys in from the US on the cheap if anyone wanted a raise. See ya, go play in Ottawa for an extra $30k and enjoy sucking lol...

Ok thanks for the explanation. Without the need to use all caps...lol

Yeah I just posted a picture??

WTF? Who knew Dave was a Bomber fan?

what a terrible game. I am barely even checking in to this team any more. Though I did find it annoying that I was forced to watch the Vancouver feed, talk about terrible announcing and color.

I see my puns are having no effect....so let's go with this... https://globalnews.ca/news/5667393/winnipeg-blue-bombers-chris-matthews-stabbed-at-downtown-restaurant/ far as I know he was gone and out of Winnipeg not long after. He played a bit in Montreal, but now I would assume is waiting by the phone for Chris Jones to give him a call....

He knifed into the line up in 2019, before being cut.

I was thinking that maybe Jones might take a look at Chris Matthews....but Matthews is only 32 so way too young for Jones to take a stab at...

And throwing to SJ Green? Nealon Greene lol Might as well sign Dieter Brock as his back up...

Edmonton's new motto "If you don't fit in, you are welcome here". I was really hoping that after 2019 the CFL had seen the last of that Carter D-bag. I wonder what bridge he's been living under for the past two years..

Maybe if Bryant wanted to become a punter he could extend his career for another decade lol...

Apologies if this has already been discussed/disclosed but does anyone know if Fatboi Jake is coming back for another Grey Cup run? I haven't seen or heard anything.

Yes like to see Geoff G. get a shot at starting. He's definitely paid his dues. Yes both of those teams are where we were in 2013. Building a culture is so important, and for the life of me I can't figure out why its so hard for so many teams. I get it in sports like the NHL, where you have a guy like Blake Wheeler making double in a season what the entire Bomber payroll is for a year, but in the CFL, you shouldn't have to tolerate fools and me first guys. The money just isn't the same. Anyway, maybe I just don't know what it's like as I've never run a CFL team so it's easy for me to judge. I just think that would be the backbone of the organization for me - culture. If you aren't here to play for the team, then get lost. How Duron Carter hung around in this league for as long as he did is a mystery to me, as there's the very definition of anti-FIFO.

If Booch is correct it sounds like he's had one shot. Let's hope whatever was a factor in him not getting the second shot is being mitigated. I would hope it purely wasn't him being "pig headed" or "dumb/ignorant" as so many have been quick to hang on him. That being said, if it was pure ignorance on his part to avoid the second shot then shame on him. Big time.

Well said Booch, and you have more insight than most here as to the inner workings of FIFO etc in the Bomber dressing room. Unless people here know Eli personally and are speaking about his situation from personal experience, they don't know much if anything about the decisions he made and why they made them, and it could be a health issue. Easy to judge coming from a place of high moral authority and no actual knowledge, and say that he is "dumb/ignorant" (though I doubt too many would have the gonads to say it to his face). I do hope Eli gets vaxxed and comes back, he was a freaking wrecking ball on that O-Line and I know we could use him. Especially if he's a "FI" in the dressing room as you say he is.

Every time I hear the words CFL and "agent" I can't stop thinking of this guy: LOL - very similar day here in Kelowna (except for the -30C part). This signing was what I needed!

Been doing that since about 5 minutes after I heard the news....boy the CR is tasting good tonight! Can't wait for May! Bob has become a real worry wart in retirement...lol...

Better bring two pizzas. Spoiler alert there is OT!

Especially good idea if you don't have the jab... Without Zach I don't see us in that Grey Cup to be beaten.

Maybe for DoorDash to deliver food orders during the games.

imagine those teams though with a FIFO mentality enforced, you'd have just had Milt and Khari running out on the field every game lol...

Taman wasn't given the same resources that Kyle has at his disposal now. Very true. That said, would he have done as much with them as Kyle has done?
