And angry old men yelling into the void...trading conspiracy theories...

I don't see anything on X because I got rid of it when it was bought by Elon F'n Musk. X is run by a Nazi for Nazi's & MAGA's. If you're still there, you are supporting them even if you don't agree with them. I'm certain you can find video games and cat memes elsewhere. I moved to Bluesky. I'd like it if all sports teams, government agencies, celebs (Sad but true), & businesses would move too.

Honestly think this is a pretty good mix on defense, hope this is instead of Garbutt/Haba so we give a young rookie a chance in rotation with WJ/JV

I'm not sure why the tweet doesn't want to show up, but Bombers sign James Vaughters.... We'll see what he's got left in the tank.

Some quotes via Our Man Tait....

Haba should be gonzo. Garbutt is at least a stable contain guy, maybe work him into being a guy who can play 3 technique a bit too on passing downs. Vaughters can pass rush off edge and inside too.

Both Ayer’s and Cole have gotten nfl work outs. I think it’s very likely both are back here. Cole is being groomed at S. I think kyrie is getting a tc shot. I don’t think he’s taking the job of one of these young guys. Kyrie is great on teams, and can bring strong vet leadership to the camp completion. I don’t think he’s taking will be with us all year, unless he’s on the pr/ast coaching on the field, or if he some how returns to peak form and stays healthy. I’d love to see Jonathon jones and ayers as the starting lbers. This is such a great pick up.

You're panicking a bit here haha. There's not many guys they've wanted at a reasonable number who haven't re-signed since about 2017. Only real big loss was Desjarlais. Janarion was a bit of a tougher one coming off a pretty terrible season and a couple years in a row with significant injury. I can understand why they moved on. I can't understand what the **** they did in the 2024 off-season/training camp/season to try to replace him. Generally haven't had a big problem with choices they've made to not pay guys. Personnel side aside from DB's has been brutal going on 3 years. And unfortunately I think we lost the most competent guy we had over there in Goveia. But nice that they've added onto McManus because I think he's basically useless. Why the **** did they re-sign Kyrie Wilson?

Still wouldn’t be surprised if we bring in an established DT as well. I’m hoping this will be the return of running a rotation in the D Line which made us so dominant in our first two grey cup runs.

same...now bring his buddy Winton along

Can I have msn messenger back?

Early activity is already a bit different this year. Can't remember them being this active on guys available prior to FA in past years.

This is why I have a hard time discussing sports with normies in real life... we got the die hards here who hang on every piece of news so trying to talk to people who get their info from tsn during games only.... aye yi yi.... Yeah Facebook exists to have a group chat with people where we can dump whatever random thoughts we have out there and share pictures of kids so grandparents can pretend to be involved in their activities.

Haha Facebook is for the olds now. I don't think the kids are even on there anymore. Definitely agree don't use it as a source though.

Some thoughts from DT...

Brinkman please

He was drafted into the nfl at S, and spent two Tcs and pre seasons working at S here. Last year in the last pre season game pre show mos talked about it. Hes a bit of a Swiss Army knife, but S is his natural position and where we have put in the most work to develop him. Taylor was a dhb, who could fill almost any role we needed, including lining up and playing man on WRs. Cole isnt nearly as strong playing straight up on a wr. Taylor played as a sub, which left Cole in his regular role from down the stretch last year. We also started out the year last year using Cole as the dime that griffin ended up excelling at. Taylor also brings a ton of championship leadership that with out ba etc we lacked. Taylor could make the adjustments and corrections to coverage that ba did. it’s also part of our unwillingness to move on. Just like how kyrie played soo much of the gc while under performing despite Ayers strong finish. Taylor wasn’t a bad choice to bring in, certainly an odd one though.

FROM FACEBOOK: Some pretty decent O Line available thru free agency. Michael Couture (B.C.) is a free agent as well as The Edmonton Elks have released Canadian offensive lineman Brett Boyko who was due a bonus. We need one or both of them. BC Also released Hollins too today. Hope the Bombers consider one of them or all three of them.

Ayers is still under contract with the Bombers. It's Brian Cole (along with Biggie) that it looks like won't be back. As well, Bryce Notree and Lucky Ogbevoen were released at the end of the season.

Or Jeffcoat...Or Couture...Or Grant...Our a legit Punter...or a legit Canadian depth/totaion guy like Kongbo...Jury out still on MLB... he cant walk....is he not on his rookie deal?....he plays as is...or doesnt play at all if he gets no NFL deal

I dont want Hollins..we can do better Walters should just buck up and go all in.....Sign Lawler and Lewis for 225..245k....give em incentive to grab some hellacious bonus cash for leading league in receiving, and TD's.....sort it out later...even tho he says he doesnt like to do that or whatever yip yapin he did....only 1 will obtain it anyway...so have at er Lewis..Mitchell..Lawler...Demksi and Clercius and some unknown yet rookie backing up....out in front of B.O...hell yes and if ZC cant produce with that he's toast Let slugs like JT and Kolo come to camp...as fodder and purge them for youth and upside...frees up about 300k for elsewhere....shave 140k off to fill their spots with entry level guys and you still have a nice 140...150k to use We had B.O...Lawler and Schoen all last yr...no reason why we cant swap Lewis for Schoen to make it work....If you aint cheating you aint trying.....there's ways to circumvent the cap....abuse the bejesus outta that marketing money before the league eliminates or caps that. Too much belief is allocatted that you need all these vets to be sucessful...no...you need ballers...surround them with a solid 10 or so 4-5yr+ guys and a smattering of 2nd and 3rd yr guys and you will be just fine if you play your best talent...and actually coach them and not go thru the country club atmosphere admiring how you did it 5 yrs agao

Hollins dropped off last year. Great first 5 games or so and then pretty meh production. Guessing they need the $ to try to keep McInnis.

No one thinks he's the bees knees... just that he's better than you give him credit for.

pERSONS....dude is legit a talent as we have brought up in a while on the dline

I still think we should just sign Lewis and Lawler...to go with Mitchell..Demski..Clercius and Wilson if he gets cut...if he lingers around there then some unknown to us yet rookie so groom....You couldn't fail going to war with that group and BO

I think you’re probably right, I’m just hopeful … especially with a new scouting staff, they may feel like they want to spend more/less in different areas than before

It was bad before as some political groups basically bought in to being fact checkers. Fb has been trash for a long while. Tbh the average sports fan in the primary target demographic knows next to nothing out side of their roster and what the color/Pbp guys say.

Jones and Vaughters are nice additions to the front seven... If we're talking about who comes back from our holdovers... I think Garbutt over Haba at the DE spot and I'd have Adams and Woods ahead of Fox at the DT spot

With Wilson, Jones & Jones and possibly Ayers (if he has not signed in NFL yet), plus newcomers like Pierre and Person, I think there's no more room for Cole.

Haba hasn’t developed a lick since he arrived. Came in with one rush move and that’s all he has still. Definitely should be gone. Garbutt showed some nice progress and yeah he’s easily our best contain and run Stopping end. Which is a little bit sad but he should certainly be back in camp. If vaughters has any thing left he’s a good get. Super strong guy who can play end in the 30, 40, and rush from a 3tech in the 40. Not great in space, and doesn’t have the ability to get in on the back side of plays. Or scrape to the side line. Still a big upgrade from much of what we ran out since jj was moved on from. I hope this doesn’t mean we won’t be in on other fa des. Unless we add a top tier imp dt. Vaughters as a di 3rd imp de would be excellent.

well we better be signing some big ticket free agents or have some serious talent we bringing in that are sure fire starters... I know Person's will be an is legit...But Garbutt was our best end not named WJ...And Fox over all was probably the best well rounded DT.....Going by what Osh trotted out or allocated reps too is by no means...at all the best guys played If Cole isnt signed here he will be playing elsewhere...you can bank on that...don't let some of your bias against some posters opinion and your thought that Osh does everything right cloud your judgements I bet if Thomas went unsigned by us...that be a guy you never hear from again tho.....prob several others we gonna trot out.....

https://3downnation.com/2025/01/30/hamilton-tiger-cats-release-dl-dewayne-hendrix-ahead-of-offseason-bonus/ Hendrix or ceresna would be fantastic.

Love this

wow - I wonder how many here get the reference in the thread title....I won't spoil it yet but I have to admit I had to go back into the memory banks about 35 years lol....here's a hint - "Synchronize Swatches!!"

I give him credit for being adequate....nid teir maybe.....I not happy with adequate for 140k per yr

One thing that has become clear recently is Cole Perfetti is extremely good defensively. I think if you could find him and Ehlers a center who isn’t names that line would be very good. Not a shot at names but he’s not exactly the ideal 2 center.

Yea this aint complicated as much as some others will try to suggest its other things. Distract distract distract but we know the truth. Argos smelly real bad. Just replace the bolded part with the word 'everyone'.

Best modern kr in the cfl. Tremendous move for you guys, sad he isn’t coming home but not surprised. Wonder what his pay day was like.

Facebook is 45+ year olds now days. Kids are on Tik Tok, the rest on the Gram or X.

People with the mentality of 13 year olds.

Fox is a pending FA. I hope Walters get Brickman. Our DL specially our interior is not dominant last year. A DL of WJ, Lawson, Brinkman (wishful), Vaughters might put it back where it were.

It’s so bad now without the fact checking.

Well what did you expect from garbutt and fox when they spent most of the year on the IR? Both are at worst solid contributors... Now Cole as well was injured a bunch bt dude makes plays on teams and where ever they line him up on defense. At worst all are well worth a chance to compete in camp and if they play it's not a bad thing.

shout out to the rook on his snipe!

Can you blame them? Toronto sucks.

After ten years of development, Blue Origin's New Glenn flew for the first time early this morning. It put its second stage smoothly into orbit. We didn't hit our stretch goal of landing the first stage on the recovery barge, but getting into orbit on our first try has us all grinning. (I work for Blue Origin)
