Not surprised he got something... pretty flagrant but certain angles also make it look like a bit of a dive from Rodrigues. If he would have made more contact or actually injured Rodrigues, I'd bet it'd be more than just a fine.

I'm also not sold on Stanback being able to bounce back to his previous form, especially on that team.

Does he know which paper he bought? I would not describe the Sun as a trusted source for news...

As long as it's not green!

It actually makes sense this year (assuming they still want a Canadian starter there) - they've lost a couple on the Canadians on the DL (Kongbo, Laurent) from last year so Menard can help fill that hole. Just looking at their stats last year & it would seem that having a fresh DL didn't do too much for them. They certainly didn't run roughshod over they league as they finished near the bottom in sacks with 41 (the L's & Riders tied for last at 40). and 6th in average rushing yards allowed at 112 yards (ahead of the L's, Riders & Stamps). Their terrible QB play did lead their to be on the field the most in the league (33 minutes a game) but that was only 10 seconds more than the Bombers at 32 min & 50 seconds. We had better results despite our lack of depth along the line (50 sacks & 90.2 yards rushing allowed per game).

They would still be quarters. Each one is still 25% (one quarter) of the overall time, regardless if that's an hour or 40 minutes.

Yes and no. Tait said they were planning on moving to younger Canadian d-linemen (Corney & Ekakitie). It sounds like he was their plan B though since they'd been in constant communication with him throughout FA. Good plan because Ekakitie was a bust and got cut a week late while Corney played 3 games, got hurt & retired - Plan A was a complete fail.

99% of the forum too I would say! 😂

Did that a couple times in the late 80's/early 90's. For the life of me I can't even remember which concerts I did that for though. All that ended with Ticketmaster - now there's pre-sale after pre-sale, bots, and a terrible website to compete with, That being said, I can usually get tickets to the show I want to see. I've been to 3 concerts in the last 6 months with a 4th coming up and I've had roughly the same seats/section for each one. I've only missed out on getting tickets for one so I'm having to keep watching for more tickets to become available or some reasonably priced re-sell tickets.

That kicker we cut last year did pretty well after getting picked up by Hamilton. 😂

Not cut per se, his contract was up and wasn't brough back (at least initially). They re-signed him in late May 2018 so we hadn't even had our first pre-season game yet. https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/05/23/training-camp-day-3-recap-2/

Let's see how happy she is when she finds a load of manure in front of her house after this story gets around town!

If he goes in as a Bomber, the teeth (tooth?) gnashing in Riderville would be hilarious.

Others have tried (Threads, BlueSky) - Threads is closest (IMO) but not enough people using it so far to make it a viable alternative right now.

I wish those updates weren't only found on Twitter/X,

Yup, last years criticism was warranted based to his level of play last year - and deservedly so. He has clearly stepped up his game and is rightfully being lauded for it. Bennett also got roasted last year and that was also fair - if you step on the field as a pro, people should be able to expect a pro level performance. They aren't expected to be an all-star right of out the gate but they should at least look like they belong out there.

To me, Yeti is no worse than Kraken but The Mighty Ducks still tops my list for worst name.

He (and other draft picks attending their first camp) is a non-counter so he isn't taking up a spot. They'd have to drop someone else.

Leroux is already confirmed to be going back to school. He's just here for the experience.

Thankfully we still have Garcia in camp.

He did start a few games in 2021 but only due to Stove getting hurt. When Stove was healthy, Sayles was the back-up.

Yes. That's the way they like it - heads in the sand, thinking they are the flagship franchise and the team to beat.
