Jack-Kurdyla played exclusively at RG in U of Buffalo.

My guess is SMS was a part of it too. He was on a 150k per contract with a 25k TC bonus coming. His injury, salary, and the fact that others stepped up well in his absence and may have passed him on the DC, made him expendable. He's not a bad player, and is likely a victim of losing his job through injury. Happens a 100x a year in football. Someone will pick him up.

He pulled down pretty good money for the amount of reps he was likely to get.

I would think that is likely. He was extended last year on a two year deal but was back in the tub for most of the year. They likely just moved in a different direction and decided to save some SMS and roster space. He could be worth taking a flyer on. Not sure if he is better than anything we already have though.

Edmonton Elks release Canadian OL Tomas Jack-Kurdyla, sign 10 others - 3DownNation 1st round pick from 2020 - spent most of last season on the IR and only played 4 games so I wonder if this move was injury related?

Who?

I was surprised to read that the Bombers have set an all time high for season tickets at over 23000 & counting. I find that low. I'd have thought 25-27000 might have been their previous all time high. Just tells you the razor thin margins that CFL teams operate under. If we drop just 4000 season tickets, we're back to just breaking even or losing money. One or two bad seasons & the gravy train is over.

I was reading that the Riders had lost close to 10,000 season ticket holders since Covid 19. They're back up to around 15,000 now. The Riders aren't cash kings anymore. They lost $1.1 million in 2024. Lots of fans did not like being told they needed a vaccination passport to go to the games at Mosaic Stadium in 2021 & haven't returned. A large percentage of their fanbase are rural & Conservative based & not allowing fans in to see Rider home games if they were unvaccinated caused a lot of negative feelings. I suspect that the same thing happened in Calgary with vax passports as attendance collapsed for the Stamps in 2021 & it's never really come back to anywhere close to what it was in 2019. Then again, Stamps owner Murray Edwards does nothing to bring the fans back anyway. Edmonton is much more complex. Name & brand change occured in 2020 that a lot of the fanbase hated & still do, Constant losing seasons, Four years without a win at home. Terrible mgmt & coaching decisions starting with Brock Sutherland as GM in 2019 & Head Coach Jaimie Elizondo. Continuing with Chris Jones as Chief Cook & Bottlewasher. Factor in vax passports pissing Elks fans off & it was & still is a recipe for disaster.

I wonder if we reach out to try and bring it TJK

Wednesday 10:30-12:30 bison field. Thursday 10-12 Friday 10:15-12:15 These are the times I was told for rookie camp.

I had fond memories working at EBGames back in the day, unfortunately nowdays they can only survive selling overpriced tchotchke

My guess is with this timing he wasn’t gonna be physically ready or didn’t put in the work they were looking for. the elk also signed Jonathon rosery who I wish we never cut.

wait the lottery was today? eh who cares the Jets aren't in the top 16 anyway (I heard they're picking 27 in the first round anyway)

Who, if I may ask?

well it's a video game store so I might as well post it here https://www.gamestop.ca/promo/landing/ebgames-is-back?fbclid=IwY2xjawKGILFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFMN29WVjFORmEzd0xqVUZkAR7aN-Dky43Gu2O7LLSFFa6XHindMe0wWr_tQVDHTm93mZrOigc6xHzhGUm95w_aem_IY5Yg6M1Zwt7AuECakmmkA

Teammate of my kid is going to be at rookie camp, so I want to check it out to see how he compares. Even his parents don’t know the times yet lol.

Solid pick...gonna pan out to be the best pick in my opinion...he's perfectly suited for what we wanna do here and is multi-use...A Canadian version of what Cole did for us without the DA tag...so hopefully it enables us to bulk up that damn dline with 3 solid interior guys...the Global guy as well if he is what many think will also allow us to use a DA elsewhere....no reason Woods..Adams...hopefully Person and or any newbie who flies off the page in camp cant all be rostered, Gimme a WJ/Vauters/Lawson/Woods/Adams/Person/Bailey rotation anyday....and if another rookie makes a case to be on roster then even better....I know they think Jake is this perennial stud...but we have no need and really no room/use...If they want to roster a second National DT....To insert him over even Schmeck or another promising rookie is just foolish and a waste...You dont sacrifice youth and upside for an old vet who lost his usefulness 3 yrs ago already....just plain dumb We have Kramdi..Makonzo...Shay..Smith...Kelly...Hallett...Hagerty....pretty sure we have the ability to put any 2 of those guys on the field at any given yime in lieu of a DT to make ratio if we choose to play 2 on defence...youth...athleticism and ability should trump loyalty to old dead weight

Edmonton Elks release Canadian OL Tomas Jack-Kurdyla, sign 10 others - 3DownNation What's the intel on this guy - NAT OL Tomas Jack-Kurdyla? Bison's Jackson Tachinski signed with Edmonton

we're doing this now? okay https://tvline.com/news/chicago-fire-renewed-season-14-nbc-med-pd-1235443810/ https://tvline.com/news/young-dylan-cancelled-nickelodeon-tyler-perry-1235443791/

Wow - all of these old Winnipeg coaches sending love to the Jets - Bones on the post game yesterday claiming that he's all Jets fan even despite coaching elsewhere, and last year after winning the Cup PaMa saying that his biggest wish is for the Jets to win a Stanley Cup. Wonder if we face the Panthers in the finals if he'll still feel that way? LOL

TOO bloody close for comfort....one and a half seconds left in our season and Perfetti nailed it down to send it in to overtime....WOW....He's really close to Schief, and what a fitting way to keep the club in it and carry the can for his injured buddy...Stars up next ....I hope they can stay up late....what lousy start times BUT we've already done some heavy lifting, so we should be able to take that in stride...GOJETS
