I heard the same add on the radio. It's pure fearmongering because "Selinger raised the PST"
Stefanson even admitted this.
QuoteAt a party meeting April 15, Stefanson started using the term the “Wab way,” when she described Kinew as someone who will defund police, raise taxes and legalize illicit drugs — all things the NDP leader has never promised.
When asked why she was making false statements about Kinew, Stefanson said former NDP premier Greg Selinger did such things and that was proof.
“His way, just like Greg Selinger’s way, the NDP way, is to raise your taxes and stifle economic growth. Well, let’s call that the ‘Wab way.’ We think that’s the wrong way.”

I wouldn't even place a bet on who called who first. They probably got each other's voice mails as they dialed numbers simultaneously.
I had just sent my buddies a message pointing out his release when I saw the "SIGNED" image. Whole thing was wrapped up in 20 minutes.
In twitter time it was 20 minutes but in reality Castillo had been released earlier in the day and the announcement just hadn't gone out yet. Still a very fast turn around though - Jeff Hamilton figures under 2 hours.

Id be surprised if he did sign with us. Considering we’ve got like 7 p/k for camp and the salary he’d command. Unless he takes a really team friendly deal.
Unless he goes south or waits it out (like he did in 2021), I don't know that he has too many options? It's pretty close to camp and most teams are set at kicker.

Yes please go after him.
I'd be surprised if we don't. There's obviously interest there if we were talking trade recently.

it is time..........
The Blue Bombers have been the least-penalized team on specials over in each of the last three years. They were first in 2019 with 30 infractions on special teams; first in 2021 with 19 and first last season with just 14 – 20 fewer than the next lowest teams (Hamilton, Montreal and Saskatchewan were all at 34).
Being the least penalized team does not surprise me but how few ST penalties we took last year is amazing. We could have doubled our penalties and still finished 1st with room to spare.

I think that guy is like 26 - which , it true, sort of blows my mind.
If he isn’t the King he is in the Royal family.
He is 26. He was shitting on the Bombers for drafting someone older than him. According to him, our first two picks were reaches and you should never draft by need. 🙄

And her star witness has mysteriously disappeared- probably kidnapped by the CIA.
Not missing! The witness is just hanging out with the person who's going to bring Wab down. They are strategizing about how & when to come forward so they can maximize their impact.

Let's just wait for the facts and not accuse him of anything, yet. We shouldn't put that on him unless it's true.
I'm leaning towards not true... I have a hard time believing anyone who spent time there growing up would choose to go back as an adult.

Looking forward to hearing from Walters after the draft to find out what the thinking was behind the pick.
QuoteWhen it comes to the draft, teams often talk about taking the best player available regardless of position. It was refreshing to hear Walters admit the opposite was true for Winnipeg this year as they specifically targeted areas they identified as needs.
“The plan going in was we wanted some defensive line help, we wanted a free safety, and a receiver,” he said. “We thought the best plan of attack to get them was in that order based on the way we thought the draft and the depth might fall.”

doesn't seem like anyone to get too excited about from this draft... guys like Bennett, Murphy, and Kornelson sound like Bomber-type players... hopefully we'll get some solid teamers or maybe we get lucky and someone emerges as a legit starter...
Just keep an eye on how Black and Ringland develop in Ham and BC... so when they are ready to hit the open market and ready to come home...
I think that's the feeling across the league. The panel also touched on that a bit last night. There were no trades at all and the panel figured it was because there wasn't really anybody who stood out as a "must have" type of player that you'd be willing to give something up for.

We talked about two of these guys when they were signed a few weeks ago but I didn't see it announced anywhere else that the Bombers are bringing back Robbie Lowes after he got hurt in rookie camp last year. Glad to see he's healthy again.

I have an infection in & around a couple of staples in my knee. It's been oozing liquid now for a week. Up until yesterday, my wife who is an RN was monitoring & cleaning it twice daily. The liquid coming out was a colour not indicating an infection until yesterday morning when I woke up with a stinging sensation on my knee. Went to the hospital. Turns out it is infected & I'm now being given IV antibiotics at a place called the HPTP clinic at the Rockyview Hospital. (Don't aske me what it means).
I have to go in later this morning for another round of IV antibiotics. I have an IV line sticking out of my left arm. I am getting my staples out on Thursday. The surgeon wants to see me at the Rockyview where I had my surgery on last April 19th. Generally, the nurse-practioner at the knee clinic takes out the staples but the physician who examined my knee yesterday wants my surgeon to check it out & take out the staples. One good thing is I can ask for freezing as taking out the staples in the infected area will be very painful. My wife looked at my knee before she left for work this morning & she said my knee looks a bit better than yesterday. I was in excruciating pain this past weekend. Not fun. Pain level is waaaaaay down. I just hope the surgeon doesn't have to debride the area which will be painful.
So , good & bad news.
It's the Home Parenteral Therapy Program. It's a home IV treatment program. We have a similar program here but with a much simpler name, the Community IV Program (CIVP).

John Hodge’s pick analysis is incredible on 3DN
Bull was their 9th ranked prospect, picked 1st overall. Hodge Verdict? “I like this pick”
Brodrique ranked 13th by 3DN, picked 2nd. Hodge Verdict? “Makes sense for Edmonton”Korte-Moore ranked 11th by 3DN, picked 3rd. Hodge Verdict? “Good use of resources”
laughable
I get that it might be harder to say something about guys picked towards the end of the draft but there is literally zero analysis here.
8 (65) Edmonton Elks — RB Derek Best, Langley Rams
The former Western Mustang ran the ball 43 times for 277 yards and three touchdowns over nine career CJFL games for the Rams.
8 (70) B.C. Lions — OL Troy Kowal, Minot State
The native of High River, Alta. was a two-year starter with the Beavers who performed 10 reps of 225 pounds at the CFL Invitational Combine.

Riders take Tavius Robinson with their last pick. Was hoping the Bombers would have used one of their late picks on him.
Last pick:
Max Charbonneau, University of Ottawa (Ottawa, Ont.)
The least productive of Ottawa’s draft-eligible linebacking corps, Charbonneau has the most pro-ready frame at six-foot-two and 224 pounds. He’s not a special athlete in any one area but has the skill set to contribute on special teams.
