you pretty much nailed it with these last two statements... Was he a great and influential hockey player? Absolutely!.... Was he a great human being? Not even close

I turned this game on at the absolute best time... turned the TV on a few mins into the third and my first thought was "are we seriously going to get shut out, at home, by another bad team".... then about ten seconds later Morrissey scored. Had I watched the first two periods... I might've turned it off at that point.

I'm thinking it's the other way around... Eli was likely brought back to start... but I'm not going to pretend I'm anything of an O-line expert

Seeing Desjarlais sign with Ottawa originally gave me sad feelings... but then I thought about the quality of interior linemen we currently have (Neufeld, Dobson, Eli, Gray) and it made me feel better... then seeing his salary... my thoughts have now changed to good for him, happy he got his payday... and I'm glad we passed on that amount.

Now THAT would be huge pick up for the Als... Ball make Rod look impartial....

Good for Bo and the cats... if Bo is anywhere near is old self... Hammy will be a major threat in the east... of course, if Bo is done... so are the cats

I know everybody loves air fryers... but ya know, an air fryer is just a small convection oven

I'm thinking about a positive spin on this... maybe he knows he doesn't have high NFL chances... and because he's Canadian he knows he can make a career and be paid well in the CFL... so rather than toiling away as a back up/3rd string in a big Div 1 program... he's going to come to Canada to put some dominant play on film and pump up the CFL interest... you never know

Bombers trade Couture to the Riders for a 3rd round pick and a prospect... Couture waits and sign in BC...

I LOVE this signing... unfortautely it probably means that Couture is on his way out... but between Tui, Neufeld, Gray, Dobson and Kola... we're still pretty well stacked at Cdn Interior O-line... Walters you SOB, you've done it again!

it'll help having Wilson back by his side too

One thing I've wondered about this... and I haven't seen it addressed anywhere... is why is the kid going from Div 1 NCAA to CIS... is there more to the story they're not mentioning?

great coach to learn under... no doubt about that... but he's QB2 (at best) behind the guy expected to be the face of the franchise for the next decade... so not a great choice in terms of opportunity

I agree with you on this one... some of the CFL diehards will hate to admit it... but this is not about opportunity for Rourke... the opportunity will be whatever team offers him the best contract... he'll take it... Also, what's with all those stupid hashtags in the Farhan tweets... who the hell is EverythingBlue and OnePride?... teams have names for a reason...

especially considering it was the same offseason for these two!

the other thing to consider about Demski... with CFL players, we're not talking about millionaires... guys consider playing salary but also post playing career.... Demski likely already has business opportunities, maybe a job, and a home in Winnipeg.... and legacy... he could go down as winning 3 or 4 championships with his hometown team.... is playing somewhere else and getting an extra 15 or 20k worth it when you've got all that at home?

my quick thoughts on must signs and would be nice... Must Sign: Sheed, Demski, Yoshi, Jeffcoat, Couture, Grant Would be Nice: Briggs, Darby, Gauthier, Sayles, McRae, Miller (let's be honest, he's either a Bomber or retired)

It infuriates me to no end when he signs the top OLB in the league... likely at below market value!... get rid of this clown

no problem bringing him back... but I still see Lawrence and Houston ahead of him on the depth chart

well this part probably is accurate... but he bar wasn't exactly set high...

Headline should read.... "only candidate left hired by default".... 😂

be interesting to see how long he wears two hats... I'd think they probably have a succession plan for HC at this point... maybe Killam

What's especially a red flag about this is Costanza (can't-stand-ya) has been in the league for a long time and has been considered a bright offensive mind for a long time... he left Calgary because there was no path to an OC job there... and same thing in Winnipeg after one season when Buck had a really good year... so he finally gets a chance at one of only 9 "dream jobs" and says "no thanks"... BTW.... if there was ever a chance we were to lose Buck... Costanza is a guy I was hoping we'd look to bring back.

Calvillo and Archambault are both not white…

I think we have Lawrence and Houston under contract for next year… I’d rank those two ahead of Rose at this point… unless Rose comes back cheap, they could move on from him… Ellingson probably depends on how the receiver chips fall in free agency… if we bring back Lawler or sign another big name receiver then there’s probably not a spot for Ellingson.
