This. Sideshow Ed is now claiming he meant there's no Michael Jordan level superstars. That's true but there are very few people in any sport that have achieved that level of fame - that's beyond a superstar to me and is more like a cultural icon. The CFL absolutely has it's own superstars, even if they aren't known world wide.

Canadian DE Isaiah Bagnah posts pedestrian numbers at Big 12 Pro Day - 3DownNation Less NFL interest is great for CFL teams but probably not so great for the player. Bagnah was ranked 4th in the latest rankings and is the highest rated player scheduled to be participating at the national combine.

It was listed on the CFL transactions page a while ago (March 7th) but the club only announced it officially yesterday. Winnipeg Blue Bombers add defensive back - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Probably has a pretty decent scarf collection too!

He's highly impactful on the number of posts on MBB but on the field...

Tbf, there haven't really been a ton of Bisons go at the top of the draft. Demski is the only one I can think of that we passed on (took Chungh at #2 that year). Maybe Zach Williams but he was the last pick of the 3rd round so not a late pick but not a super early one either. There are 5 Bisons currently playing in the league (not including guys like Gassama who have yet to crack a roster) and we now have 3 of them so we do like having them here.

That's why I said startling line-up. Thomas getting cut is too much to ask for! 😂

Star Wars has always had a huge British element to it (from the Empire being based on Imperial England, to many actors being British and much of the filming/production being done in England). Lucas, at times, gets too much credit and not enough blame (IMO). His writing has always been a bit clunky - his ex-wife cleaned up a lot of the dialogue in the original trilogy to make it work. She did not work on the prequels and it showed. You also can't really say anything past 1981 strayed from his vision when then prequels (1999-2005) were 100% him and they were no where near as good as the original trilogy. The original series had different directors/producers and such so that wasn't a huge change (those 3 films each had a different director, 2 different producers and 3 screenwriters) but Lucas was there to handle the overall story for the first 6 movies, which the last 3 did not. I think the last 3 films could have been better if there was some continuity off the screen in overseeing the story to make it consistent. They started out good on that path by bringing Lawrence Kasdan (co-writer on Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi) to co-write The Force Awakens so they fit well with the original trilogy. Abrams was offered The Last Jedi but turned it down (because Disney's schedule had no time off between filming the projects & he needed a break) so they brought Rian Johnson in. Johnson had no connection to the series and he had his own vision, so he went in a different direction with some things. Abrams came back for Rise of Skywalker but now had to to tie his original story into what Johnson had done and it wasn't great as a result. I think if Abrams had been able to do all 3, it would have been much better but we'll never know.

I don't think Miller had any coaching aspirations but it happened. I only thought it might be a possibility for BA based on the way he's been described as essentially being an on-field coach for us.

Hoping that's 95 days until Thomas is kicked off the starting lineup!

Yeah was hoping he'd go the Mike Miller route and stick around as a coach but if he still has the itch to play then I guess it wasn't meant to be.

3DN misinterpreted his goodbye to the Bombers as him announcing his retirement. His agent clarified he's still looking to play next season. "He took to social media on Sunday to thank the team for their time together, which some outlets, including this one, interpreted as a retirement message. Instead, Alexander’s agent reached out to 3DownNation to explain that his client isn’t retiring and is still actively looking for his next playing opportunity."

Found this interesting: Some in CFL circles believe the team will lose not only its first-round pick but also its second-round pick, meaning the violation will be over $300,000, though this remains unconfirmed.

Currently pick 7th as Edmonton used their first round pick in the supplemental draft. We'll move to 6th if BC does lose their pick too.
