That's just a rule for life, never mind just the game...

Can't friggin wait for summer holidays. We'll be around for the July 1 game @Gappers and at the home opener on the 7th vs Cgy. Haven't been at a home opener since 2007 so it'll be a dandy!

Nope.... Its just not how things are done anymore. Read Walters interview from frim other day. The days of an elite 1k NI Rec are long gone...

Mini camp invite is TCF. Wasn't Addison Richards at one a couple years ago?

Madani reporting that the Argos are trying to work a deal to get back into the first round because Trestman is a big fan of Bladek...

I'd heard months ago that Fox and NBC were in a heated scrap to bring it back, and that either way, Seacrest would be the host again...

They are.... Cook is with NCI, I believe and Beau is at Bob, I believe...

From Jeff Hamilton WFP, here's Ekakitie's agent:

I clicked "like" but I'm actually sitting here chuckling at this, in spite of it.....you're 100% correct, of course....I just shake my head. Another thing is that Winnipeg media outlets LOVE to recycle "known" names...they're terrified of bringing in unheard of people. That's why you see so many of the Wpg media folks have worked everywhere...

http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/05/05/ed-taits-handy-dandy-guide-cfl-draft/ Some good quotes in here, including one from Walters on Ekakite: “(Ekakitie) is a good prospect,” said Walters when asked about the Hawkeyes lineman. “He’s played very good competition… he’s been in the trenches in the Big 10 playing against Michigan, playing against Wisconsin, playing against some big, powerful teams. He’s a mature kid, he’s married, he’s played in the Midwest… he’s a very good prospect.”

honest to God, knowing what we know now about Gray being a Riders guy, I'll be legit mad if we waste one of our first 2 picks on him. Even the 15 is debatable to me.....the whole "he's the next Walby" thing was very misplaced, unfortunately.

If Judge is MOS Jr, and really....it's not a stretch......I don't know how the Bombers don't try and take him with one of the first 2 picks...

There's a lotta truth in here. Best thing we can all do is keep things positive. I think we've all seen enough negativity in our life...on a personal weight loss journey, it's FAR more advantageous to keep things positive and upbeat. Everyone find their own path, don't knock someone else's, and celebrate everyone's successes....

Trade the 1 to go a hair lower.....take Judge within the Top 5........??

Even though we're deep at LB, I'd love to find a way to get Judge. Honestly, if they'd decided to go with him at 1, "I ain't even mad, bro"...

biggest idiots going.....

are you ******* kidding me.......? This is the first I heard of Gray being a Riders guy.....my enthusiasm for him just dropped HUGE. Wow....there are few things in the world I detest more than people who are "Riders fans" for no real reason...

It's partly the pills, and it's partly the lack of accountability. They make you come in there every day to get checked on. They'll phone you if you don't come for your weigh in. A big part of my success was the accountability, for sure. Without that, you lose your focus and it's really easy to gain it all back.

Ovi would likely do better being "Kessel-ed".....don't have to be the star, just be a contributor. But, as mentioned, he'd likely have to take a cut...

I once did Herbal Magic as a promotional gimmick through my work, and I dropped 30lbs with them (but gained it all back after I stopped taking the pills) and while I did enjoy my time on the program, one of the problems was that they condition you to the scale. You weigh in every day for the first 3 months, then the next 9, I weighed in once a week. They condition you to celebrate the scale number....I got SO mentally conditioned to it, it still bothers me when I'm on a program. I get SO upset by a gain of 0.2 or something silly like that....it's brutal.

Basically, he's supposed to be one of the only guys in the draft who is "pro ready" and can contribute on day 1. Having said that, there's questions about his desire and love of the game...

...and if you like being/working in Winnipeg, those are really rare....so yeah, he's not wrong to sit and wait, if he can.

that is a guy who would rather be at the World Championships...

...nor does it say "compete", to me....

yeah, the whole thing just seems asinine to me...I don't think I've ever left an arena in the middle of a game or concert. You go take a piss during the intermission, maybe grab a drink or some merch, and then back to your seat.
