"Rapere cladem de faucibus victoriae?"

It's pretty close when it's Lofton.

Probably, but is BOLO better than Demski? Better than Woli? I feel he was a victim of timing- kind of like Dru.

Yeah, I am not really upset with moving on from him. I was not impressed with his work, wasn't disappointed, just ... meh.

Boo

More painfully- how close the games were... a few inches here... a few inches there- and we would be backtobacktobacktoback Grey Cup Champs. Oh well- let's keep up with the GC appearances and we are bound to win another.

Good point. So... does Yosh morph back into a pylon this year?

Eww. they could have done a better job at casting.

Ah yes the great triangle migration of '24...

Meh, Friesen is the journalist's equivalent of a wrestling heel- always causing ****, but always entertaining- he is a much more tolerable read, when viewed through this lens.

Nothing to do, nowhere to go. Oh.

Odd, I never got that... from all I have read about him, his politics seemed more complicated and nuanced than that. I think he held some very strong libertarian ideals too... and many Republican ideals...

Rolling stone had an interesting article about that very same thing. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/toby-keith-politics-republican-1234962575/

😁

I thought he would go at least $180k even pushing to $200k. He's a baller, young and I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet.

That is a friendly price...

My Dark Horse prediction (in 4 months before the start of the season) for the East- ALLCAPS. That's where my money would go right now.

Well, one thing that helps the argos is having John Murphy digging up players he is the CFL talent scout equivalent of a truffle pig. The guy is a tremendous talent scout, but has a personality of said truffle pig. The argos will still bring in great talent into the league, they will be fine. Side note... every time I see a pic of Murphy, I am ALWAYS reminded of Pvt. Lawrence's final scene in Full Metal Jacket.

Damn, FA hasn't even started yet... No kidding, 16-2 and then complete overhaul. I don't get it

BO is good- granted. I think he was also the benefactor of an offense designed around him, a commitment to running the ball and an Oline that has a powerful run aspect to it. I think you put Stanback, Brown or Karey in that offence, I feel any one of them would have churned out more yard from scrimmage. Now factor in the savings- either one of those three, probably could be had for less than $150k- a savings of ~$90k. That is a good chunk of change for other areas of need. Also, I think Stanback would have been a really good fit here- I think his running style fits the Bombers Identity best. I do like the hometown hearo story line and he is genuinely a good egg. BUt if its team first- I think flipping the rb to import would be the way to go. Just my opinion.

Sorry to hear about that man, Hope things get better soon.
