Time to release Dillion Mitchell if you have no intentions of playing him. Absolutely ridiculous at this point.

How refreshing it is having Laura Diakun as guest host in the absence of Kate Bierness? She's a pro who keeps the panel on task & guess what?? They actually can have an interesting football discussion with Diakun. Unlike Bierness, who is all over the place with her comments, jokes, wild laughter & skits. The panel just follows her lead & gets goofy. Bierness is not a host. She lacks the discipline that Diakun has, She seems perfectly suited to be the full time host of TSN football. I wish TSN would make a change.

Boy I don’t want to see Kase in the starting core… glad vanterpool is getting more T reps. Hopefully Stan is ok and tbh can step back up. Good to see Logan finally starting to get healthy too.

Wish you all the best. I lived in Thompson for 2 years in 1989 & 90. We also had to deal with wildfires as well. All of the north the summer of 89 was on fire. At one point, Thompson was on alert to be evacuated but it didn't happen. Not a very nice feeling.

now I'm all onboard the Collaros is cooked train, but dude has had 2 bye weeks plus a suspension so he's played 3 games. Not exactly a lot to go on.

Rider's loss = fantastic Making fun of a wildfire smoke situation = lame

I made that TD happen....

**** me I wish we still had Lawler

Man it is criminal they let Suitor call these Rider games. He doesn't stop. Oh Rider Nation so amazing with the delay last night, how great they were coming today and finding sleeping arrangements for the players. Wow so amazing. I only saw the 1st and 4th quarter but they were still yapping about it with 3 minutes left. No one gives a ****. He couldn't find anything positive about his green skid marks and kept going back to this.

Yeah I have no idea why they extended Dyce before the season started. Burke is (afaik) on the last year of his deal so they may be in a position to clean house if they want to eat that extra year of Dyce's contract.

No, Ben Hatskin & Sonny Werblin, the owner of the New York Jets were business acqaintances & friends. When he secured a team in the Westrn canada Hockey League, he named the team the Jets in honour of Werblin's AFL team. When he later sold the Junior Jets, he bought into the WHA with a franchise in 1971 & called them the Jets as well. Again, to honour Werblin. Just an aside but in the 1950's my dad knew Ben Hatskin as well through business. Both men raced cars. My dad owned an Auto Body shop on Marion Street right beside the Norwood Hotel. It was there for 36 years from 1946-82. My father built a race car. Hatskin also owned a car as well & they raced against one another. Both my dad & Hatskin hired professional drivers to race their cars.

Dillion Mitchell does and has played slot. below the very first highlight has him in the slot. You can find lots of similar in his high lights up here. Also WRs in the cfl motion and move depending on formation, package, and passing concepts. No one is solely a field or wr or boundary slot. This is mos roster management. If they actually played case in a game over any imp wr it would be completely absurd.

I'm fine with Vanterpool for Stan. Kelly back would be fantastic. Logan too. If Mitchell can't beat out Case then he needs to hit the bricks. Thing is Case had 1 catch for 5 yards in 3 games last year. Not trying to be an ahole but pretty sure any receiver you put in could do that. Take out Schoen and the D has to what cover 3 guys (Demski, Wheatfall and Clercius)

Typical with us..Case...like really? Guy is as average as average is...and couldnt crack lineup last yr...and if he couldn't beat out Sterns this yr then insirting him for Schoen makes us the worst group in league in yrs... If Stan needs a rest then we gain a DA spot...tho we roster 4 ...3 of of whom only see work on teams I can just imagine what Osh rosters Nice to see Kelly back tho...and logan... Likely another case of "coaches preference " and no pun intended...

Kody Case? WTF? Mitchell can't beat out that non entity?

Trevor Harris who missed one game & just had a bye has played 4 games, Nathan Rourke, Davis Alexander & Dru Brown have all played 3 games, the same as Collaros. Both had been out more than one game with injuries. Alexander is still out. All have more yards passing yards than Collaros. It just shows how anemic our passing game is. Meanwhile, Ken Lawler puts on a pass receiving clinic every week. GP: 5 Bo Levi Mitchell, Tiger Cats, 1,485 yards, 11 tds, 1 int GP: 5 Vernon Adams, Stampeders, 1,453 yards, 5 tds, 5 int GP: 5 Nick Arbuckle, Argos, 1,449 yards, 7 tds, 7 int GP: 4 Trevor Harris, Riders, 1,231 yards, 6 tds, 3 ints GP: 3 Dru Brown, RedBlacks, 1,012 yards, 5 tds, 2 ints GP: 5 Tre Ford, Elks, 950 yards, 5 tds, 2 ints GP: 3 Nathan Rourke, Lions, 925 yards. 5 tds, 2 ints GP: 3 Davis Alexander, Alouettes, 803 yards, 5 tds, 2 ints GP: 3 Zach Collaros, Blue Bombers, 801 yards 6 tds, 4 ints

Agreed. I'm on the verge of bring evacuated here in Thompson and it's not funny at all.

That group is one of the main reasons I even go on FB anymore. Top notch.

Lapo basically creaming himself at Ottawa running a screen pass to kick a FG on 2nd and goal outside the 10.

I kind of like the ring of giant dodgers… it’d be great for a basketball team. I believe officially it was a combination of honouring the rcaf, Winnipeg’s aviation history, and the ny jets.

Yup...Lawler best in league...would look good here trying to pull in Zac' ducks We should have paid him and resigned schoen to slowly get him back to form..and if that meant dumping Thomas...one of Wilson or Jones...Kramdi...Kolo....so be it...we'd be a better team for it Much like us extended ZC..so dumb And looked Iike 9th best...even his "great" game had a lot of red flag moments... Hopefully Jackson has some say/influence...

So what you're saying is, guys who have only played 3 games have less stats? And Alexander a d collaros are a whole 2 yards different. Like I said, not a big sample size.

Princess Auto Stadium, Mosaic, TD Place, and BMO Field are the only CFL stadiums with a naming sponsor now

One yard line.

First half they were not worth it, Lawler dropped an easy catch and Bo was stymied by the Ottawa defence, but first possesion of second half one contested end zone jump ball shows Lawlers worth.

Saw him so that in Blue and gold many times.

Stamps are the best in the West right now? Let me wrap my head around that 🤔

Not a surprise they were willing to sit out and inhale toxic gas for 6 hours. That's Saskatchewan life.

Coming into the season I was pretty sure Calgary was one of the top teams in the West, along with us... VAJ makes a big difference. And that was with Beggleton. It's somewhat impressive that he's doing as much as he is without RB... But we know that he has trouble putting a full season together, so we'll see. ...

If that happens it should be, but I doubt it will be. If Walter’s isn’t extended before the off season begins, I wonder if ott makes a run at him to rebuild the whole franchise.

Sask is the #1 D against the run because everyone is throwing for 350 yards on them.

That's Dollarama Thor

FTR: passing out beer at a wedding ceremony is a blatantly stupid idea for an ad.

I know we're a bit off topic here but the Bombers had a true hero play for them in the 1930's. His name was Jeff Nicklin. He was from Fort William, Ontario but moved to Winnipeg. He grew up in Lord Roberts & lived on Rathgar Avenue. He got married at St. Albans Anglican Church in Lord Roberts. He enlisted in the Army in 1940 & trained to be a paratrooper. I grew up on the other side of Osborne Street in Riverview so I'm proud knowing that Nicklin who heroically sacrificed everything for this country lived in the same area where I grew up. The Jeff Nicklin Trophy is given to the Western Division's MOP. Last year, Brady Oliveira won it. If you don't know who Jeff Nicklin was then please read this. https://westenddumplings.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-greatest-blue-bomber-youve-never.html

I appreciate your support of my CFL History group page on Facebook. Not to be mistaken for the copycat Canadian Football History page started by someone else.

You need to write a book

Luke Wilson is a tool. Not a fan at all.

I've heard Mitchell doesn't play slot, dumb as a fence post if he doesn't seize whatever opportunity is given to him at this time, his job is on the line.
