Red Lobster has Hush Puppies as a side menu item for a limited time.....I tried them and they were kind of unremarkable I mean I'm glad I tried them but I don't think I would order something like that again

It's the effort and performance of underdog players like Bailey and Woli that help put and keep a team on top of the standings, the more quality players of this caliber a team has the better the results. Consider it the equivalent of having a solid 3rd line in hockey.

Didn't say Bailey deserved "big money" but paying the man fairly for his under-appreciated service always seemed like the right thing to do. In all 3 cases I think we can expect the replacements to be downgrades in ability as they have nobody in house that is their obvious equivalent, so the plan to get better in these 3 positions is based solely on bringing in new/unproven players that can somehow match or exceed the performance of league standouts, always possible but highly unlikely. In the end I predict the overall skill level will be downgraded from what it was previously, players that earned the big raises were in place already, so that counts as more money spent with no upgrade in talent or performance level. The lost players will make a noticeable difference, gone not due to declining performance as it should be, but due to poor overall salary management. .

From what I heard about JJ. It was Winnipeg or bust outside of a huge offer from another club. Same with Grey. Grant, I understand both sides....the club doesn't want to invest in a guy who hasn't stayed healthy on limited touches for a few years now and Grant isn't getting any younger and likely wants a decent payday.

Bailey was not a dominant player, he was a solid and reliable guy but never a guy that I'd think would be a hall of famer. Jeffcoat is several years past his prime and on a downturn with his injuries. Far from dominant on a consistent basis. Grant is a dominant returner and he will be missed.

The Stove was unplugged because of torn achillies injuries....He was never coming back.....

Right on Bailey and Grant but I think Jeffcoat was also a victim of the injury bug.....he just couldn't stay healthy...Bailey found work, I doubt that's going to be the case for the other two....

Not the whole story there. Bailey found a spot; Grant was likely a victim of both his injury history, lack of versatility, and the incoming changes to kick returns. Jeffcoat seems to have quit to a certain extent. Sounded like he got so frustrated he just walked away. I’m sure a team would have had a spot for him if he wanted to make it happen.

Grant and jj got moved on from because they couldn’t stay healthy. Bailey was good but you can’t pay a role wr big money. We already have soo much tied up in demski lawler and schoen we just can’t afford another premium salary wr.

He was on the injured list all of the 2022 season, released before the 2023 season and now moved to the retired list so it seemsit might be a bit different than past situations. If he was still trying to make a comeback, they could have used one of the first two methods.

But nearly $800 to fly from Calgary to Victoria.

Eight seasons isn't longevity? Man JBR, that's cutting it really thin as a reason for keeping Drummond out of the CFHOF saying he lacked longevity when the average football career isn't even 4 years. How many years did Dressler & Goldsmith play?? Goldsmith played ten seasons from 1981-90 & Dressler played 11 seasons from 2008-18 but missed 25 games with injuries from 2014-18. So, he missed a season & a half which is the equivalent of 9 1/2 seasons & not 11. You look at the stats & championships. It's there for all to see. Drummond had 10,790 all purpose yards. Broken down that's 6,706 yds rushing with 60 TDs & 4,033 yards receiving with 18 TDs. He had another 51 yards returning kicks for zero touchdowns. That's 78 total touchdowns along with 4 Grey Cup rings. Just incredible stats. I remember Drummond as a monster. If he didn't kill teams as a runner then he killed them as a receiver. He dominated games as a player. If there was a knock on Drummond, he played very little Special Teams. Dickenson may have won the CFL's MOP award in 2000 but Drummond won the 2000 Grey Cup MOP Award. ,

He's retired around 3 times now.

Pretty upsetting when dominant performers like Grant, Bailey and Jeffcoat are given up on mainly because there's no money leftover to pay them close to what they deserve.

streaming is great but it won't change the league what will is the on field product changing the 4th Q lead 3 or 4 times is what our game is all about; that requires high level QB-ing

Farhan in the HOF.... Incredible.

wasnt Coleman like second highest career defensive tds or some thing? 6 time divisional all star 3 time league all star at corner plus 3 time divisional all star as a kr. 28 picks 6 returned for tds plus 7 kr tds. Had good longevity as a kr and cb but certainly wasn’t the same guy here that he was in his prime. But he was still a good player. hard to say and db is harder to pick hofers at imo. He was a better db imo than Drummond a rb for their careers.

I once saw Stove eat a whole live chicken. That two-ton man-mountain could palm a medicine ball.

Edmonton gets a free pass to the third round.

Dave Dickenson was the 2000 CFL MOP. Drummond just didn't have the longevity. But he won 4 Grey Cups in his short career. IMO the CFL HOF is already way too broad. Like Marvin Coleman? Calgary Stampeders Hall of Fame sure...league Hall of Fame...don't think so. Should be guys that were the absolute best player at their position or in that conversation for a significant period of time.

Looks like Stove has retired. ☹️ https://3downnation.com/2024/05/02/making-room-b-c-lions-release-veteran-canadian-dl-david-menard-transfer-dt-steven-richardson-to-retired-list/

Canucks beat NSH and will play EDM in round 2.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

This return vs Sask was such a beaut. Did it on his own, amazing:

Chad Owens & Weston Dressler get into the CFHOF but Robert Drummond & Craig Ellis don't. No politics there. Drummond was a dominant running back for the Baltimore Stallions, Argos & Lions. He rushed for nearly 6,706 yards & scored 66 touchdowns rushing. Drummond caught another 391 passes for 4,033 yards & 18 touchdowns. He had 10,790 all purpose yards & scored 78 touchdowns. Drummond was the 2000 CFL MOP. & had numerous all star awards. While Ellis had 12,828 all purpose yards, scored 88 touchdowns. Ellis was 2 time CFL West Division & All Canadian as well.
