Winnipeg Blue Bombers post 2024 operating profit of $7 million – Winnipeg Free Press A profit increase of over 20% from 2023 despite having more expenses last year.

I think we’re a bit thrown off by what this draft might do to our ratio and I would’ve taken Findlay over Jaylen Smith too but if I really sit down and think about it, the idea of playing Brady, Demski, Clercius, 2 OL and then having two Canadians flying around at all times is something I like the sound of. Kramdi, Shay, Smith has some real signs of versatility written all over it. Can do a lot with that and Lawson in the middle. Truly.

Some bombers visited rankin inlet, gabe Wallace included. Boy, he is looking lean and mean. He was 6’6 350+ in college. Came to camp 330-340 with a decent belly still. Now he looks like a stunt double for the mountain. Doesn’t look like he just lost weight either, looks like he put on some lean mass. Can’t wait to see what he brings this year.

Miller was the most important part and the key driver on turning what was a former embarrassing mess around...bar none...and doesnt get the credit he deserves on the culture and how we do business....from ball boy to Prez... It all comes from his original blue print and whom and what he put in place to get it done. Easily was the most significant and franchise changing hire...probably ever

Bombers took Vibert OG South Dakota State in Round 3. Regina kid.

"I can't believe that guy was here for us" "Steal of the draft" "Walters is working his magic" "We took that guy?" "This draft is terrible" "What are we doing today?" I am ready for the draft.

If he wasn't the degenerate that he is...He's be holding a clip board down in The League....the fact that he isn't tells you all you need to know...He was on his last chance here...and really...If the Argo's and the League hadn't dropped the ball and had some stones....he's be outta football now

I think it’s pretty simple to decipher … you’ve wanted the guy for a while, bring him in and make him make the decision for you

There's tons of DL in this one. I don't believe they'll take one in the first couple rounds unless Newell drops to 6. But there's tons of guys that will be CFL players, both Nose and 3 technique/end tweener types.

So very accurate. I feel like online forums really hit with my generation, but the kids today they're all on "the socials". The older generation is still calling in to cjob for their discussion.

Insulted Knuckles. Insulted the fans. Acted like a complete ******* to everybody. Thought he was smarter than he was. Terrible decisions. Lack of results. Kelly was the Donald Trump of coaches.

Soo impressive. Saw the corporate partnerships almost equaled the gate revenue. Which is crazy. Wade has the team in the best place fiscally, and in terms of infrastructure that it’s ever been. Especially when you consider where most teams stand in that sense. When it comes to bomber builder/front office types, he’s the goat.

Round 1 schedule is out

It's a thing for sure. I used to watch a lot more tennis than I do now but you'd have the American broadcasts trying to be the entertainment, pushing whatever pre-match story they had concocted... but then you'd get a British or Australian feed and they were just calling the match talking about what was happening not doing all this excessive over the top hard sell. The sport is the entertainment and the reason we like sports is the element of unknown. Don't force a storyline, don't expect the on air people to be the entertainment, let the athletes dictate the story and be the entertainment.

I always found that Laura Diakun did a good job hosting the panel whenever she needed to fill in for Kate. I think she would be a good replacement as long as she keeps doing what she's been doing and not try to change to match what Kate has been doing.

lmao that's so accurate. I wonder what the kids have moved on to now... I think the league needs to hire some teens and cut right to whatever is current. I feel like this has been the CFL since maybe the 80s, but at least since the Rocket was in Toronto. The times since then that the league has been on point with the demo you target for growth are few and far between. Could you imagine if we did a demographics breakdown of MBB? 18-24, 0. 18-29, maybe 3. 30-50, 2690. Then 8 or so whose SIN numbers have less than 3 digits.

Yeah I don’t disagree with that part. Though it sounds like the cfl is big because he’s a star here. The selection of stars in other sports that he’s calling the super star of the league and comparing him self to is kind of crazy. Ja morant is a huge screw up and not a top talent. Reece isn’t on top of the wnba or in the age range. Jefferson is atleast the best wr though in the nfl. Whole thing is a mess that smacks of self promotion. I also don’t agree that teams and franchises build or make superstars. If that was the case it’d be happening a lot more in every sport on more teams. Superstars happen. It’s a rare combination of talent, growth mindset, luck and hard work from all kinds of people.

Jarious Jackson eases my mind a bit. I'm worried about Coach J calling games but I think Jackson will help in that regard. It's a good safety net.

I really don’t think CFL defences are ready for a team to go 22 spread set heavy run. I want soo much to see some 6’4 250+ te using the waggle to block at the second level. Teams are reasonably prepared for our 7ol + fb tight bunch sets because the gaps are close and it narrows the field. In order to run higher volume in general we need to diversify our run attack. The amount of izr/tite zone we’ve run with out balance is insane. Especially last year with out using a secondary back field threat.

Remember how bad things were with Team President Garth Buchko, GM Joe Mack & HC Tim Burke? I don't think in 2014 when Miller, Walters & Osh were hired replacing those Three Stooges did we think in our wildest dreams we'd be where we're at financially as an organization. I just hope that we can maintain things for a few years yet. Remember the RedBlacks Expansion Draft? Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins decided not to pick any Blue Bombers in the last round. He & his Asst GM guffawed at our roster & laughed & then mocked our team on TSN & passing on picking anyone. Both publicly shamed our team saaying on the broadcast that there wwasn't one player left on our 2013 roster that could help the RedBlacks. Desjardins really seemed to be enjoying himself at the expense of the Bombers. I was furious. It's okay for us (Bomber fanbase) to be upset with our team & we'll fight among us here but the hell I'll let fans from other teams make fun of us. Let alone an entitled & smirking now former CFL GM. I'll never forget that as a fan. Even today, when we beat the RedBlacks, the victory gives me a bit more energy than usual. An extra jump in my step. Next to the Riders, the RedBlacks are the team I hate.

"Bell Media executive" Oh, great...he'll be demanding a raise in pay every few months without providing any new services/features.

This obsession with QBs going early in mocks needs to stop.

Gross. No. Streveler way before that cancer.

Will there be a passing of the scarf ceremony? As always, I'll show myself out.

Lapo really shat on that Ticats pick LMAO. A guy you're hoping can play 10 plays per game.

Honestly he’s a high floor guy and a high ceiling guy. Great athlete, but also a really good run guy. Feel like we are a great team to develop him too.

Who ever they take will be "surprised he was available, he was at the top of our board"

Shockingly low amount of CFL draft prospects who got NFL UDFA deals. I think only 2 of the DL along with the guys who were drafted. Lots of rookie mini-camp invites but those don't often lead to main camp spots. For a lot of those guys the best path to a real NFL shot will be playing in the CFL. Good news for the CFL. And for the draft, it's pretty wide-open. There's only a handful of guys that are unlikely to be available for CFL camps.

Suitor would be a sour cream. Kate would be a Boston cream filled with axe body spray. Matty would be rum raisin. but most of this forum would be old fashioned.

Welcome to the Elks game tonight. The team is led by the fabulous Ford brothers. One brother creates touchdowns, the other takes them away.

It's not her job to be knowledgeable. It's her job to facilitate discussion from the knowledgeable people. Unfortunately tsn subscribes to the American idea that a panel needs to be the entertainment and clowns are supposedly entertaining

My grandpa was born in 1915. He followed his beloved Leafs in the newspaper and had buddies who'd phone him with score updates. #thosewerethedays

league needs to do a wayyyyy better job game day They also tho should have 2 weekly shows....one focusing on the players...back stories...special interest stuff ...etc....and another with league news....highlights....discussion with people not named Kate...

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too. - Abe Simpson

One death please...

Actually, a Tik Tok campaign is more likely to reach the intended audience than a radio campaign.

It's beyond cringe... It's illegal and he should be long gone from our league.

DAL wins in OT EDM scores 3(including 2 with extra man) in 3rd to tie LAK but LAK score with minute left to beat EDM

Big difference for me - getting through the first round is a big psychological boost and helps build momentum. I think the Jets have a much better chance to get to the second round playing someone like St. Louis, just my opinion. Also, was hoping that Dallas and Colorado would beat the crap out of each other and go to seven games, hopefully with a lot of long OT games too, but we will see. The Canucks for the Sedin years were number 1 in the NHL several times and yet kept choking in the first round. In 2011 they almost blew a 3-1 series lead but were able to get by the Blackhawks in round one, and then they started rolling all the way to the finals. Getting through the first round is huge.

Drury as in role....multi faceted....not bodywise...MCI is actually faster than Drurie.....not as shifty tho...6 of this half dozen of that....groomd right he could be a nice asset herein is where we have failed...we havnt identified the best players...and then fit it into the roster....we go into camp with this mental picture of what we want ratio/player wise and it's not giving us our best roster...hopefuly we are changing away from this

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/us-based-original-six-eliminated-from-playoffs-for-1st-time/ Detroit, Boston, Chicago and the New York Rangers will all miss the playoffs in the same year for the first time in NHL history.

buck got stupid vs. collaros got old.... this season will tell the tale.

I once found a swarthy hair in my moussaka. The proof was, indeed, in the pudding.

I don't believe there's a line of people willing to take the job. Generally though, Bell is flailing badly with TSN being a core part of their problems. Have been hearing for awhile they are trying to auction off bits of NFL rights just to get a little cash because they are having such issues. Obviously a position the CFL and it's fans are quite familiar with over the past 50 years. Maybe this is the guy. But, low public profile, kind of a meh Jeffery Orridge/Garth Buchko style inside hire. I am whelmed.

In 60 years of watching Bomber football, I have never seen anything like that gust of wind allowing us to win that game. That was incredible. I thought maybe God is a Bomber fan until he wasn't after Zach sliced his finger open on his throwing hand.

After that game, I was convinced that everything in the world was perfect. We were just not the same team the next week.

Greenwood has tremendous size and athleticism. That’s a great guy to have in camp. Hall is small for and end which isn’t the biggest deal, he does have really good athleticism for the edge but not as amazing considering his size kind of what you should expect for that size. Camp can’t come soon enough. Soo many great position battles coming up.

I thought Kelly was a keeper when he dominated Davarius Daniels 1v1 in the preseason game last year. The Halletts and Ian Logans of the world would not be able to make a play like that.
