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.

Surely this won't end poorly:
Does he know which paper he bought?

Anyone wanna guess who Menard signed with? Lol it's just funny at this point.
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.

If Taylor Powell can take the next step, seriously look out.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).

Go 6 10 minute I suppose it wouldn’t be quarters anymore tho in pre season.
6 10 minute periods?
couldn’t be called quarters since 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour so yeah that’s no good English.
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.

They just didn't sign him. I don't think it as ever a moving on thing so much as gaming numbers
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.

I remember the old days when we camped out for tickets. None of the pre sales they have now where sponsors & elites get first pick before the scraps go on sale to the general public & an event is sold out in two minutes. The last time I did that was in May of 1978 when the Eagles were going to play Assiniboia Downs in August. They were the hottest rock band on the planet back then. I got to Eaton's at 7;30 pm the night before the tickets went on sale at 9:30 am. There were already a hundred people there ahead of us. My 2 friends & I had a blast talking with some of the people around us also in line. That was also when it was relatively safe to go downtown....
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.

OK, but that’s what I am asking. Who? Pigrome is the only notable name that jumps to mind. And he wasn’t going to beat out Collaros or Brown, and he failed at his chance to be the short yardage WB and was replaced by the veteran incumbent Prukop who did a much better job at the sneaks. And then when he went to Ottawa he did nothing special there. I’m trying to recall a cut who went somewhere else and made an impact and was an obvious mistake in being cut. We hold on to vets for sure, but do we really know that better options have been ignored? Only proof would be if they got scooped and outperformed elsewhere. Otherwise maybe the lack of better newer recruits who should bump the old guard falls on the scouts who aren’t finding better talent.
That kicker we cut last year did pretty well after getting picked up by Hamilton. 😂

I believe it was mos 2nd tc. They cut him in the off season and only brought him back a few weeks into the season.
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.

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

I'm surprised some start up hasn't moved into that space as an X clone. With Elon as polarizing has he is seems like a missed opportunity. At the very least it would force Elon to buy you out.
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’m not sure the criticism of schmekel was unfair. He really was awful last year. I think it’s fair to say he was put in a position he shouldn’t have been. This year, he’s playing at a level that deserves that type of role.
Either way, I’m thrilled to have been wrong about him and look forward to what he does next.6 minutes ago, bearpants said:The problem with Schmekel last year is he had no business on the AR... that's a failure on management for not bringing in a veteran competent Canadian DL to take some reps... or a failure on the coaching staff to not adjust the ratio or take advantage of the nationalized American rule... either way, Schmekel should've been developing on the PR while continuing to "practice hard"... not playing actual games
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.

I just read Utah might be called the Utah Yeti??? That would definitely rank as the worst name for a team in NHL history and it is not even close lol....the cooler company could be a big sponsor though! Bigfoot is alive again!😄
To me, Yeti is no worse than Kraken but The Mighty Ducks still tops my list for worst name.

Some guys especially qbs need time to adjust to the pro game. If that’s all they think he needs, with his upside, it’s well worth keeping him around.
Personally the top of the cut list would include Blackmon, vlaghionos, kornelson and a db or two. If you don’t cut mastro I’d suspend sheahan and let mastro punt next game.
Seems like we have a few spots that’d be easy to free up. Leroux could be sent back to college as well.Leroux is already confirmed to be going back to school. He's just here for the experience.

Casey Sayles came into a starting role pretty early on, and would probably still be starting here now
He did start a few games in 2021 but only due to Stove getting hurt. When Stove was healthy, Sayles was the back-up.
