Really would have liked to have Steele in Blue and Gold. He's always wanted to play for the Bombers but I guess we don't have the cap space.

“It’s a wonderful turn of events and pretty good fortune to go from being released to now signing with the team that I’ve wanted to play for since I started playing football,” began Miles in an interview with bluebombers.com. “I was a little later in getting into the game and as soon as I gave up the dream of playing in the NHL, the Bombers and playing in the CFL became my goal. My entire family has Bomber season tickets and my grandma held them for over 40-50 years before she passed away five years ago. The rest of the family has tickets but they are up in the nosebleeds. They may be looking at upgrades now.” “So I can say Bomber blood runs in our family. It’s perfect, really, to be coming home.” http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/03/04/thomas-miles-back-home/

He might have to do one or two guest coaching gigs first. Like Ike Charlton, who's certainly done ok for himself with the Redblacks.

LOL:

My initial comment was just a gut reaction. With a bit of thought, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I don't like this:

Here's his parting tweet:

First Demski, then LaFrance. I like the idea of having a farm team just to the west of us. At least it will make the Riders good for something.

And also re Nevis:

This is sounding good re Chung:

Here's the Bombers schedule: http://www.bluebombers.com/schedule/ We get to open the new Riders stadium. And here's the whole shebang: http://www.cfl.ca/schedule/

Meanwhile in Regina:

Good article about Canucks in the Senior Bowl: http://3downnation.com/2017/01/31/scouts-saying-cfl-prospects-senior-bowl/ Nice hit by Herdman in the video clip. Could he step into Hurl's shoes?

Bisons Geoff Grey (currently ranked #5 by the CFL Scouting Bureau) got a mention in today's Shrine Bowl:

Funny you should mention him:

Finally, something from the CBC that doesn't have me cursing about how they spend my taxes:

Looks like we've got a Quarterback under contract:

Interesting but my top 10 Grey Cups would be: 1935, 1939, 1941, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1984, 1988, 1990. Maybe I'm a bit biased though.

I guess in the sense that I'm dumb. I jumped to the conclusion that he had just signed with the BC Lions. Actually, he's still with Detroit.

How on earth did we miss out on this?

This Gray bloke could be the guy for us (if he doesn't end up down south, of course): http://3downnation.com/2016/11/29/lavals-antony-auclair-manitobas-geoff-gray-invited-to-u-s-university-all-star-game/

Looks like it could be worse than that:

The results are in:

WTF Dunigan, I couldn't do that many pushups when I was 18, never mind at his age.

The U Sports (CIS) semi-finals (Utech and Mitchell Bowls) are on Sportsnet 360 starting at 11:30 today. If any of you manage to watch these games, comments about who we should draft would be appreciated.
