i’m loving it. But i’m sure some one will pick him up sadly

I have no problem re-signing Willie so long as he has to compete for and actually earn the job. And his two brothers? Nyuck, nyuck.

That's a shock.

His CFL future may be in doubt, but he will live on forever in our postgame happy honker reports.

Maybe Spam and hog bungs?

Yip all the Jets are doing here are toying with fans feelings. Reality of how this season ends needs to speed up here.

That's dirty.

As long as people are cutting weight, there's not going to be a perfect solution & incidents like this will still happen if someone cuts too much weight. there are pro's & cons to it either way - one disadvantage of moving it to same day is that it doesn't eliminate risky weight cuts, it just give less time to recover. Like that guy could just as easily have face planted tomorrow with after a weight cut that clearly went poorly. The advantage is that same day's won't allow fighters to put so much weight back on so maybe they don't cut as much in the first place and force guys to fight closer to their natural weight. Some organizations/commissions have restrictions on how much the fighters can weigh much farther out than the UFC does. The WBC’s current guidelines advise that a boxer should not be any more than 10 per cent over the division limit within 30 days of the bout, five per cent within 14 days and three per cent within seven days. The WBC is currently studying if a switch to same day weigh-ins makes sense so we'll see what happens.

I mean with science etc it's not hard to believe. There are some who believe the first person to live forever has already been born....

Soon they'll be able to offer multiple mustards, meats other than bologna and lettuce on the sandwich bar.

Yep, with the money being spent signing players, we knew the cap was going up but only triple compared to last year. Still going to be tight trying to sign other teams free agents.

Thats on top of the 400k increase from last year.

Agree. I'm looking for guys that are taking the next step. I think Brissett is one of those

Eighty years? Some guys gonna live to 115??? CFL players need to find a job. Use their team's connections as well as their education to find careers. Like they did in the 50's & 60's. That was the big attraction for players coming up here in the CFL or Canadians coming out of university. Teams would find players full time jobs. It was a reason why players from the US stayed in Canada after their careers were over. Most of these players never had a problem with transitioning. A lot of players now just seem like slobs wearing sweats all day, Not working while they play, Just work out in the off season & do nothing else. It's okay if a player is established in the NFL but CFL players need to have a career job. Then the transition from playing is much easier.

We need more than nice. We need impact.

I wish they would do same day weigh ins... the weight cutting is ridiculous.

Exactly.

I dunno...it's probably just a really difficult transition for some guys. They've spent their entire life doing this one thing and then whether they like it or not...it's over. Then they realize they have anywhere from 60-80 yrs of life left and don't know what to do.

Opening Ceremonies start at 1 pm central time

😬 Instead of a fight, he gets a trip to the hospital.

I agree....reciever and dline are huge priorities and we should do all we can to get the best available at each spot....National or Import and work the ratio accordingly....lose the rigid mindset I as well am not too concerned with the oline and the expunging of Kolo alone will havea huge effect and ripple it's way right out to each tackle I fully expect Bryant back as his farewell season and a Bryant/Wallace/Eli/Neuf/Randolph group as starters breaking camp with Vibert as the 6th alone is more than just fine We also have Vanterpool who could factor into the mix, and a couple nice prospects coming to camp...Thats not even counting FA and the Draft where maybe we strike gold...if so even better and pretty sure a real OC this yr will rectify most of if ot all the confusion and turnstile looking things we saw last yr

Gittens Jr would be a nice add in free agency.

My 2 cents.... I am OK with brining back Willie, I also would have understood if we moved on.....Like many here I feel is not an every down player...but we shall see..... I believe getting rid of the Jackson/Hogan offence is a really big upgrade, nothing against either guy, but everyone who follows the team saw something was not cohesive within our offence...... I have been very happy with our signings, and happy to see a few of our older and possibly lower end talent guys being moved on from.... I am actually not incredibly concerned with our O-line....Hopefully a bit of focus in this and the next couple drafts, fill our cupboards again... Receiver and D-line are our biggest needs.....We need one good import and one good CDN receiver, not sure who will be left in FA but we need IMO at least one of each....DL, Vaughters was fine, but we don't need fine, we need better, again not sure who makes it to FA, but I would like to see a CDN rotational piece and at least one at minimum semi proven import to compete outta FA....

If the system changes to allow him to play more of a traditional role and he flourishes, there should be hell to pay for the last 2 years.
