jury's still out for me. if he's gonna be the lapo kind of analyst who uses his football smarts to get inside the game and make the broadcast smarter, then I'm into it. but if he's a hot take machine trolling twitter superfans, then he's just a Friesen with better hair.

Officially limited today

Former Bombers first rounder Anthony Bennett has been signed by Ottawa

He's at the very least a fresh take on the CFL. Which is nice. I've never really liked his NFL stuff he did with TSN. I am kinda liking the fan ranking thing on X. Assuming he's full on trolling and not being serious. Last week he went on a rant about the "Worst penalty in CFL history" during the MTL vs TO game. And it was pretty obvious he hadn't watch the CFL very much cause, well it was the correct call and even if they had messed it up, there have been far far worse called lol.

100% We need more national depth too. I'd nominate cutting Case to make room.

Anyone know whether Dru Brown is practicing? The CFL injury report for Ottawa is blank this week. My pickems need to know!

Congrats to Voodoochylde on paying his dues!

hear, hear. voodochylde has definitely leveled up with that post.

Well said. You’ve definitely earned your stripes today.

But only if one is a sneak?

Off topic: I hate this expression with every fibre of my being. Earn his flowers? I've heard it more and more over the last two-ish years (at a point, almost daily) and it's just cringe. Just say "earned the respect" or "lived up to the hype". Pun intended - there's no need to be so flowery. It reeks of trying to make something .. a thing. Simple language is the best language. On topic: Rourke has pretty much been a bust since he returned from the NFL. They ruined him last year by rushing him back into the lineup. He may never live up to (or have a chance to live up to) his potential and the hype surrounding him because of it.

Could have been less serious than everyone thought. And they just rested him as precaution. No one from the Bomber org has ever addressed the seriousness of the situation. The "missing multiple weeks" narrative came from one person as far as I can tell. One person who is continuously incorrect about all things CFL. Saw them at the Forks on a Canada day years ago. They were great!

Other than BC jock straps you mean,

He never has a sniff.

cfl.ca posted his splits for the Bombers vs the rest of the league, I wish they would have split out the Elks from the 'Rest of the CFL' stats as well. Sophomore slump is definitely a thing. He had a cup of coffee in 2021, and then went super nova in 2022... by the time he came back from his Lisfranc injury the league had caught up to him and the 18 months in the NFL definitely didn't help that. You could tell in the 2022 West Final the Bombers knew exactly how to handle him. BO not being the face of the league is almost marketing malpractice at this point. I think the only player who comes close to his follow on socials is Kelly 🤢. His work with vulnerable animals should be front and centre.

yeah I was gonna mention that too...He didnt fare well against the top teams

You deserve a timeout for that! 😁 Schoen for me...He's getting 2 so it evaporates my strike last week...New rule

Awesome pick. We aren't going full doman or any thing, but the bands we've got for the game stuff so far are awesome picks.

And a bunch of beating up on weak teams in that too.

Big Wreck?...The Rider Organization has a band??....haha...I'll show myself out now

Yeah....He had a perfect group of guys to catch league off-guard at first to toss up a lot of contested balls...and got lucky with that...and they let an awfull lot of OPI go on with his 2 big targets....But teams figured him out...and he faded....also his quick strike plays when not there, and he had to actually decipher a defense...well you seen the difference Our defense especially with multiple looks...and the same looks but it switches at snap...utterly confuses him Betts too...One big season and a lot of that was questionable "was he offside" crap...once he started to get called....and guys got hands on him...What he do? Not a helluva lot...except pout and show a piss poor attitude My gripe with a lot of the CFL Media and especially TSN is this over the top/unwarranted Canadian pushing with certain players....I get it's the CFL but enough already....Market and promote the actual top players who been doing it for yrs...regardless of where they were hatched. The average joe fan or a lot of the new fans they are wanting to pull in...and a lot of them are...and where a it's a huge market is within the immigrant community...they could give a rats ass...Most Canadians really could care less other than a small fraction...Whats it really matter...it's played in Canada...under unique Canadian rules by a lot of Americans who call Canada home yr round...promote that aspect Not to look at things thru blue glasses but it really is an injustice to BO that the powers that be in the CFL don't promote him more...What Canadian RB post the late 70's early 80's...Or player for that matter has won back to back MOC....A MOP and MOC season...gunning for 4 straight 1000 yard seasons...lead league multiple in a row...and actually grew up in Canada...played all his formative ball in Canada prior to College?....These the guys that should be getting the attention

Jefferson gives him the willies!

Big Wreck announced as the main stage act for the free Canada Day concert this year. Solid. They are amazing live. https://www.bluebombers.com/canadaday2025?lid=qspp78e6uy2b&utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2025-06-17+Canada+Day+Celebration+Announcement&utm_brazeid=652cb67a41bc800001333d27&utm_content=&tf_u[wpg_braze_id]=652cb67a41bc800001333d27&utm_instance=wpg&CAMEFROM=
