Fatty Liver

Jones thinks he snookered Wally cause he's convinced the Riders will finish ahead of the Lions!

Supposedly swapping picks but not sure which round, if it's the first then Wally will be up there again.

This is almost laughable, there were so many eyes on Jones misdeeds it would be impossible to keep them secret. Jones fails to understand that the players are members of a union and if they see questionable activities that will have a detrimental effect on their position as individual players or a group one of them is surely going to report it.

Meh....TC opens in a couple of weeks and the topics will expand when the time is right.

Esks have added Johnny Augustine. http://3downnation.com/2017/05/10/unselected-draft-running-back-johnny-augistine-added-esks/

O'Shea's cliche response: "How would you like me to shatter your ******* spine???"

Shakir Bell signs with the ORB's.

Raw potential and he doesn't ***** on twitter.

Shayon Green is hanging by a tether.

In my experience Houston is special, 100+ F. and 100% humidity, the only time you don't sweat is when you're standing in the shower.

Never been to Houston?

Where's Tonya Harding when ya need her......probably making B-grade pornos.

That's a huge concern, if Jennings steps up his game to the next level BC could be difficult to handle. The Bombers don't have much of a big play offence so they can't be getting into shoot-outs with teams who do.

I thought LB Alex Hoffman-Ellis had great potential when he was with BC a couple of years ago but I believe he's been through two other rosters since then so he's probably hasn't lived up to his potential.

I don't buy the notion that BLM or Ray can produce victories on their own, throw them into a **** storm with no O-line and I think the results would be predictable. QB's that can produce victories on their own may be limited to Collaros and Reilly when they're at the top of their game.....but I don't really buy that either, football is a team game. A good team will make Nichols "look" like an elite QB.

Understandable, they were expecting both Franklin and Adams to be gifted to them and got flustered when it did not happen.

I disagree, if Nichols can put up a couple of 12+ win seasons, he will qualify as an "elite" QB. Kevin Glenn has spent much of his long career struggling to achieve .500, not entirely his fault but that's how the cookie crumbles.

What impresses me about Walters management style is that he's balancing the draft picks with the SMS plan as well. He seems to be on top of that aspect of the game unlike many other GM's who fill their pot and deal with the economics later on, not at all, or white wash the books by inventing new ways to cheat.

If the Bombers can win their seasonal series against the Stamps, Esks. and Lions anything is possible. Until they can do that consistently they're middle of the pack contenders imo. Key is Nichols stepping up into the elite QB category with improved red-zone performance and 2 or 3 dangerous receivers so that Medlock doesn't have to set scoring records to salvage victories. Other improvements have to come from Hall's pass defence so that they're not giving up miles of uncontested real-estate.

Got to love this approach, let North and South Korea work out the "Korean problem" if East and West Germany can be unified, so can Korea. Washington is ramping up military, economic and diplomatic pressure on North Korea, and insisting that other countries do the same. It wants to thwart Kim Jong-un, who has vowed to develop a nuclear warhead with which to hit the U.S. mainland. His missile program has made huge strides in the past year, despite frequent accidents and failures. The U.S. has now even threatened a pre-emptive strike to stop him. On the other hand, Moon — a liberal lawyer whose parents fled the North during the Korean War — has been proposing something very different. His policy is to revive a so-called Sunshine Policy from 20 years ago that stressed neighbourly co-operation over confrontation. At that time, South Korea wooed the North with billions in humanitarian and economic aid in a failed effort to prevent its weapons program from gathering momentum. Moon's version has been dubbed Sunshine 2.0. It advocates reopening a joint North-South industrial zone, closed last year after North Korea tested missile after missile in defiance of UN demands that it stop. Moon has suggested the rebirth of the Kaesong zone could even be the first step in a long-term plan to reunify the economies of the two countries. In the short term, it would provide North Korea with much-needed foreign cash, perhaps contrary to tough international economic sanctions mandated by the UN Security Council. And it would certainly go against the efforts of U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Before the Security Council last month, he predicted "catastrophic consequences" unless all countries "put new pressure on North Korea to abandon its dangerous path." http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/south-korean-election-1.4104126

We musta won the draft.

Anyone know if TSN is going to make the draft available on their website without the subscription login?

Judge may eventually become a good Natl. Lb but will he be as good as an import LB that he'd be replacing? Time will tell.

One interesting comment that Walters made in his pre-draft interview was with the current salary demands of first round draft picks it is difficult SMS wise to invest in two additional players for development further on down the road. I take from this that one of the two first rounders has to become a replacement player, sooner rather than later or that they will go with a depth player and pay him accordingly. In this scenario I can see them trading off one of their first two picks for a player that will be able to contribute immediately rather than long-term and as was mentioned earlier in this thread, they'd better pick players that are interested in building a football career over players that are just using their CFL training as a step to a bigger pay day in the NFL. Retaining Chungh was fortunate but his decision to stay may be the exception to the rule with current and future draft picks.

The CFL draft is littered with the names of Canadian players that never lived up to their full potential. Simonise sounds like the classic example of an underachiever, all the physical talent in the world but......
