Well that finish was not great for my blood pressure. 😂 Canucks could have won that but waiting till half way through the third to start playing is not a great strategy in game 7.

Barriere's agent probably looking at flights to Ottawa right now.

Some of these do a fine job of sounding like idiots the rest of the year, why stop now? Guy you reported on gets cut? Ok now you have some easy follow up questions (why were they cut, who's next man up? Like you said, it's low hanging fruit but they won't even bother. They used to have better coverage so what changed?

A few guys (like Bede) can and have kicked the ball through the endzone on a kickoff. The rule changes last year meant that it will be worth a point if it goes through untouched.

Or they know his appeal will probably not hold up and they need some sort of plan for the first 6 weeks (minimum) of the season. Arbuckle isn't great but he's got way more experience than Dukes does

Happens all the time. We brought 4 QB's in last year (Cooper Callis, Billy Hall, Josh Jones, Tyrrell Pigrome) who were all new to the league. Jones and Piggy only threw 17 passes between them over the 2 preseason games while the other two got released before those games even happened.

FYP - not sorry!

Looks like Ottawa has picked up Ronnie Brown. Now he can go angry tweet to their media guys. 😂

Carolina was half a period away from forcing game 7 after being down 3-0 but an epic collapse in the third period ends their season.

DB (and WR) are the least of my concerns. If a borderline starter like Parker is hurt, it just means one of the other 97 DB's in camp get more reps. Now if we were talking about a guy like Nichols, well that's a different story. I like Parker but he's not irreplaceable.

It makes sense but the same argument can be made for helmets but those are required. We know nothing will 100% eliminate concussions but if there's something that can help increase safety (without affecting gameplay) why wouldn't they try it? It looks goofy as hell but it's not my brain being knocked around so if a player wants to wear one, I'm not going to criticize their choice.

The cap also doesn't matter right now. There's lots of time to find savings (cuts, 6 game IR, contract restructuring) if they really needed to.

Yep, they definitely should but we've heard about that kind of thing before. Off-field preparation like that doesn't always rank too highly for some of these guys. One of our camp QB's (Terry Wilson) just admitted he was supposed to come up to the CFL 2 years ago but didn't have his passport in order so it didn't happen & now he wishes he had gotten it done back then.

I'm sure some probably have no clue about the ratio or why it matters that the starter/back-up are Canadian.

Using it as a hotspot is the only thing it's been good for so far.

These guys have either had a week when you include rookie camp or they were here last year. If other guys have already shown better than them, no point keeping them around. There's also the possibility that some of these are due to injury and they are told not to leave town. Jared Beeksma - been kicking around the league since 2022 and hasn't stuck yet. Was with Sask & Hamilton (twice) before we brought him in last July. Ravi Alston - on our PR last fall. Ronnie Brown - had rookie camp & first few days of main camp. John Waggoner - had rookie camp & first few days of main camp. Raleigh Texada - on our PR last fall. CJ Siegel - had rookie camp & first few days of main camp.

TBF, Edmonton had just given up a late goal themselves to let the Canucks back in the game.

Whoever tweeted that doesn't understand how the CFL works. They mentioned lying about speed but the article only talks about Chris-Ike's speed. He's a non-counter who would not have affected brown's status with the club.

Yeah I recently got forced into using my first iPhone at work and it has re-confirmed that I will never willingly chose to use one.

Had the Pixel 6 and was really disappointed with it. Was happy to trade it in for my Samsung S23. Don't know that I'll ever go back to a Google phone.

Didn't he announce his retirement prior to being suspended?

Yeah, opinions & views changing with discussion or more information is fine. Time will usually tell if those opinions are correct (like Brady proved to you). Only really an issue if people are wavering & flip flopping in their opinions from one comment to the next.

Barker was sued in the past by a female atheletic therapist so he might just be bitter about his experience in a similar situation. It's laughable that he trotted out the fact that the Argos apparently did their own investigation and found nothing wrong. The leaked report showed differently - Barker has zero credibility on this issue.
