well they aren't considering Arniel right away

Ya I'm sure it'll make a fun bit on TSN or something. Hard to believe he retired 15 years ago already!

They don't do training camp at McGill they are holding it in Trois-Riveria

Pro Palestinian protestors have taken over Percival Molson Stadium. Sounds like they're not going anywhere. Cops have decided to do nothing but observe. Organizers say it's like their own city. So, how does that affect the Alouettes training camp & (at least) their pre season game? Can they move to Olympic Stadium or are they working on the roof?

"Argos or Lions...." ("Argos or Lions")... If the Argos signed Rourke, Kelly would be gone soooo fast.

It's a nice story. Got Milt!

I mean skill wise if he is any where near sharp and not end up in a wheel chair after each game as a naturalized NI he probably could. But weve also rostered a couple wrs over the past 2 years whove not even seen the field.

Knowing Milt and his confidence levels, I'm sure he thinks with a bit of game conditioning he could play but he chooses not to. 🙂

I heard that Danny Mac still throws at the U.S. tryouts sometimes. And also helps Buck out with the QBs during camp? Awesome stuff

Hate to say it but Sask. would be wise to put themselves in a position to be able to dump old Trevor Harris at a moments notice with no financial consequences to their cap. Rourke probably still wouldn't want to go there.

I will always appreciate Coach Bowness for all he accomplished here and the culture change that occurred under his leadership. I will not be please is Arniel is automatically anointed "The Next One", has he not been the one responsible for our abysmal PP and PK the last couple of years? I always loved the Jets 1.0 connection but he needs to win the job as the best candidate.

If memory serves both Buck and Danny Mac were chucking the ball around in camp last year.

I mean its rookie camp. We will probably cut 5+ of those guys by the end of mini camp. We've got 4 qbs plus buck could still toss as needed. Plus we have a converted QB-WR. Im not worried about touches. I don't get the point, though. Unless milt really is keen on a come back which I also cant imagine.

as of February 2024 it appears Nate is still very much alive: Incorporating verse – Winnipeg Free Press

right. I knew his name was Morris. At least now I remember it was Morris. Still don't know why he hated Lyle Bauer so much, but that rivalry got pretty heated at one point, if memory serves. I remember Lyle putting out some news release from the Bombers talking about "The Bookworm", which I assumed was Nate?

Literally every team could stand to upgrade their QB room. When Rourke does come back, it's likely going to be an end of season addition.

Nope, this was Nate's store: https://www.chrisd.ca/2010/03/05/beatnik-village-books-discs-osborne-street-winnipeg-bookstore/

Rourke isn’t coming back any time soon. He's going to hang around as long as possible in the league and maybe slink back to the CFL when no one will even give him a camp shot.

Calgary would make all the sense in the world. A QB that would get some excitement going and Meire would be very easy to move on from.

All the best Mr. Bowness to whatever you shift to now. Not gonna happen but Rod Brind'amour would look outstanding behind our bench. I love his coaching style.

Nerman's Books is closing its doors | CTV News was this Nate? I knew he had a bookstore on Osborne Street, or something like that. He was always inboxing me on the old Ourbombers site to come visit his store.

kind of like O'Shea's son was in rookie camp last year.

Maybe he can tell them about how much he loves the Gappers. He talks about it enough on TSN.

If it's Toronto, they'll get a special exemption to go over the cap. And, we'll have the TSN crew crying on air about how it's justified and that the CFL wouldn't survive without Rourke.
