Fatty Liver

Untold: Johnny Football, an interesting documentary about Johnny Manziel, it fills in a lot of his backstory and explains pretty clearly why he came off the rails, to the point he attempted suicide. He was a simple kid from a small town, much like Elvis. Too much, too fast, too young, celebrity culture creates ridiculous icons that would be impossible for anyone to live up to.

Unless there's another round of musical chairs this off-season, most teams already have their expected starters pencilled in for next year. Brown may have to choose a team that will provide him with a fair opportunity to compete for the starting job, which might limit him to Ottawa and Edmonton. Adams, Maier, Harris, Kelley, Fajardo and BLM are all expected to lead their teams next season, I'd be surprised if that isn't the case.

I think Emilus has a bright future in the CFL, he's a dynamic receiver and better than Justin McInnis (now in BC) and may be a better pure receiver than Rider favourite Schaffer-Baker. Didn't understand why they weren't using him more last season.

Calgary could be a good destination for him, they'd make good use of his blocking and he'd take some of the attention off Begelton....but ultimately he'd be serving the same role as he does with the Bombers and probably not for much more pay.

I agree, if Bailey left the Bombers he'd end up like Shaq Evans, a middle tier receiver looking for a place to call home but unable to establish himself as a prominent receiver in any other offence.

Looks like Lucky Jackson who tried out for the Bombers in 2022 and played a few games for the Elks made the Vikings PR. If it wasn't for the arrival of Schoen he might still be a Bomber.

I don't believe any receiver is worth $300k, but here we are. Your addition comes out to around $200k for Schoen, that might not be enough to retain him if another team offers him $250k+, which he deserves. Demski is locked in and Bailey already sacrificed salary to help pay for Lawler, Woli is getting paid journeyman wages for his contribution which is fitting. Deleting Augustine won't do it, if they want to retain Schoen and pay Lawler another big salary player will have to go. That means Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Biggie or Bryant, I would pick the last two as logical retirements at the end of this season. For Stanley it's time, and for Biggie he's probably making more off the field than on at this point in his life. The only reason for him to carry on playing another season is for the love of the game.

Probably the reason Masoli has not announced his retirement yet, hopefully Ottawa moves on and is not relying on him to pick up the reigns once again. Time for them to give up the ghost.

Demski

Hard to say, look at the players he had to work with, can't make lemonade from potatoes.

No fooling, they need to prepare players for transitioning to starters which may happen as soon as next season, Bryant, Bighill, Thomas and even Jeffcoat could all decide to hang up their cleats at the end of this year, prepare their replacements instead of wasting reps. on a novelty project. Like Haba, it's just as important to get Fox back in the mix in case Walker leaves for more $$ in F.A., don't want to be starting at ground zero in any position.

Just O'Shea's gettin' his full jolly on military appreciation night.

Previous time Briggs took responsibility for the gaff.

I hope to curse Fajardo with my pick.

...and it should be duly noted that Damian "Breacher" Jackson formed a human gangplank allowing these giant men to cross upon his back to the safety of the last lifeboat. God bless.

Piggy! Piggy! Piggy!

Maybe he will help out Buck up in the booth, he'd look pretty silly sitting up there with his uniform on.

Jackson will do it, O'Shea only needs to ask.

It's currently raining dry pine needles and ash in central BC right now, visibility down to about 200 ft. I should probably pack the car.

They're no longer a threat, I say pick their bones.

Dickie getting desperate, Walters needs to become his new best friend, can't get anything out of his half-wit brother but he could probably trade a spare DB for a good prospect or a future draft pick. Trade with him once and like a junkie he'll come back for more.

CFL fines Six B.C. Lions for touchdown celebration in Commonwealth Stadium fan seating. https://3downnation.com/2023/08/04/cfl-fines-six-b-c-lions-for-touchdown-celebration-in-commonwealth-stadium-fan-seating/

Consider the huge expansion of medical facilities across the street over the last decade, is that development associated with the U of Calgary or on their land? That property is way too valuable for them to rebuild a football stadium on that spot, they're probably just waiting for it to fall down and repurpose the land. A football team paying rent isn't much on an incentive to maintain the status quo and I don't know how much they care about the Dinos having a park to play in anymore, maybe they just cut their football program all together like SFU.

Oliveira

They're trying to drum the dweeb out of P.P., same strategy they used to spruce up Preston Manning back in the day. Won't work. On the topic of image makeovers, apparently psychopaths can be tuned to love kittens.
