The rise of Fentanyl and the increase of meth usage is a major reason for the tent cities across Canada. BC has been hit hard with lots of people going out west where they can survive on the streets during winter. The addictions are so strong that even if you offer a free facility to clean up , the drugs will still win out. I'm not sure what the solution is.

Ya. Grocery owners are d bags. Tent cities have always been a thing but more so after Covid it seems, food banks are always full. My daughter and I picked up some stuff for Siloam over the holidays. Trust me when I say they appreciate everything but yes, I’m not sure certain problems can be fixed tho but this isn’t about that. We will agree to disagree. A segment of the population isn’t everyone.

Amazing how drafts work elsewhere like the NHL, NBA, MLB & the NFL but somehow it can't work for the CFL.. Teams draft the players they want out of college as per the number of rounds a draft has. Then they sign free agents from their teams they want to keep, or that were never drafted or veteran players from other teams that are no longer under contract. They also trade to acquire assets. Of course, with veterans already on a roster teams don't need 100 rounds to refresh a roster. Just because there would be an American draft doesn't mean teams can't sign players undrafted as free agents which is what they would be. Nothing really would change. A draft is designed to create excitement. College football fans in Canada probably know more about kids in college in the US than kids in Canada that nobody ever sees because games are never televised. And drafting someone from an SEC or Big 12 Conference would definitely create that excitement.

Addison isn't just big (tall), he plays big. Converted to S during the COVID-shortened season after starting out as a WR (2 years). In the 3 years post-position change, he was very productive. The good: Size (6'5 195), Athleticism 4.55 40 10'7"broad, 36" vert, great explosive numbers, good speed, and average agility numbers. Successful position change. Versatility, he played a lot of teams, backed up, but played a lot of reps. Played very well against the run and the pass. Physical, with a great nose for the ball, made a lot of plays. The bad, a bit slight build for his height, 6-year covid super senior, despite playing well and for big schools, didn't get much NFL interest. The Ugly is, only a 1-year starter despite being in college for 6 years. Overall, really good pick up for camp. Very high upside, the type of guy who could fit extremely well into JYs system, and has an inside track to playing his way onto the team with his team's skill set. He's a crafty, extremely physical football player who has that lunchbox ethic and dog mentality that Mos loves. Which, in a very big-bodied athletic DB, is a great combo. He's going to be in a very tough position to make the roster, with Kramdi/Allen/Woodbey, hopefully Griffin, and likely Vaval as a Di. But he's got the talent where he could come in and take a job, or capitalize on any opportunity that pops up. https://www.nfldraftscout.com/cfb/bio/1021804 https://uclabruins.com/sports/football/roster/bryan-addison/14419

I cant see an American draft working unless they were to draft from a pool of players that have committed to playing in the CFL. Otherwise, there would need to be at least 100 rounds just to ensure you have enough Americans coming up for training camp. Just look at how often teams' neg lists are changing.

I bet he performs well if the coaches butter him up.

Bombers signed a 6'5" American safety

Inflation especially groceries are high, foodbanks full & tent cities... Yep, doing okay.

almost excessive is recommended

Okay, great we’re up to two including myself. Can I add huge amounts of sarcasm to vitriol to attract others?

Looks like we can thank Kent Austin for this guy coming up here. Hope he pans out. https://3downnation.com/2026/01/16/payton-thorne-winnipeg-blue-bombers-qb/

I love you guys but also I hate you guys.

i'd engage and revel in your vitriol

hopefully he can navigate the maize of training camp and although somewhat liited in attempts he avaeraged over 10 yards a PR and 21 a kickoff...so as in in gae replacement he wont just bobble and drop for no gain....so that depth is nice and especially with his National status...and yes he does have some wheeels on him and has to be accounted for out there

As a backup he’s fine. Better to have a guy with some speed at least instead of the Corcoran’s and Jeremy MurphY’s of the world.

I hope he gets an opportunity to really pop this year...

Let's go!! Time for the comeback.

I would say there is a kernel of truth in this, but it would sound corny and I would be creamed in comments. But he is husk-y.

Don't call it a comeback!!

Time to get a Cobb jersey and matching hat!

Boy if I had Mod access to this discussion board it would definitely have a certain vibe based on what I allowed and did not allow. Mind you if I was indeed the sole mod of this site me thinks I might be the only active user having fantastic discussions with myself.
