We are all so good.

Breaking News: Winnipeg Jets General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff signs a 5 year extension to remain in his position with the team.

well, now that everybody has cut this kid Frederickson, maybe we should see what he can do before he hits the field at training camp or the exhibition season. I'm sure that a lot of receivers were prejudged as not being good enough. The thing is, you can't judge charactder or the size of a man's heart.

Plus hosting the Grey Cup. they wouldn't be giving out $1.5 million woth of football equipment to community teams if they were broke.

Lots of politics in the CFL? It's worse in the NFL. The kid tried to find an NFL roster spot. Based on all his workouts after he was cut by the Packers, he wasn;t good enough. Time to move on as he gave it his best shot. Time for Plan B. If he wants to keep banging his head against a wall, so be it but he's running out of time. The problem is, he's U Sports trained. Not NCAA. Teams have a bias & don't trust his abilities.

If expansion is done right it could work. The CFL have to find investors in cities where there's no pro or college team close by. You go to Birmingham & you have the Univ of Alabama & Troy University nearby. Same in Memphis. Expansion was strictly a money grab by the CFL in the 90's & not well thought out. If we put a CFL team in St. Louis the NFL will do what they did in Baltimore, crush us with an expansion team. Oakland may work. Then, who knows? What;s to say a vengeful Roger Goodell & the NFL putting an NFL team in Toronto out of spite. San Diego & Sacramento have actually built new football stadiums since the last time they had NFL & CFL teams. They aren't NFL sized stadiums but in the 25-30000 seating capacity range. Tacoma, Washington has the Tacoma Dome that seats 20,000 & a huge population surrounding it. It's at least an hour by car on the freeway to downtown Seattle & Lumen Field with the Seahawks. Even further north along I-5 to Husky Stadium & the Univ of Washington Huskies. Tacoma Dome. Capacity 21,000. It hasn't had a professional sports tenant since 2002 because of Lumen Field as well as the Key Arena in Seattle & other newer sports venues both north & south. The Seattle Thunderbirds moved to a new arena in Kent, Washington. The Tacoma Dome could be looking for a new tenant & a CFL team may be one answer. Although renos would need to be done. Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego. Capacity 35,000 expandable to 55,000. Sacramento State Hornets Stadium. Capacity 21,195. Width of a CFL field would be a problem with the running track. With no pro team as tenants anymore as well as the NFL & MLB gone for good, the City of Oakland would be anxious to have the Oakland Colliseum being used again. Capacity of 53,200 for football as Mount Davis, named for Mark Davis the owner of the Raiders, the gigantic Upper Deck that was foolishly built for the team is permanently closed.

Wow, I can't wait. So, if a Mexican beer league can get on Disney+ then why can't the CFL?

That knee injury Stanbeck suffered really affected him. He was the best running back in the CFL hands down when he got hurt. Stanbeck was never as dominant after he came back. Therefore, never saw him play at his full potential very long because of it. Became a journeyman running back.

This is William Stanbeck's retirement announcement on social media. I usually read these announcements & 99% of them all sound the same but this really feels heartfelt. Even though he never played for the Bombers, I'm going to miss him. 3DownNationTwo-time All-CFL running back William Stanback retiresAmerican running back William Stanback has retired after seven seasons in the Canadian Football League.

I don't care about that as much as knowing how much of a profit the Bombers made this past season. Just wondering when the financials will be released.

I disagree. Being on a PR doesn't help his development. Trying out for NFL teams doesn't either. Neither is a series or 2 against the scrubs in NFL exhibition games. He has to play. He has to work to become a starting qb in the CFL. He'll never get a shot to start in the NFL. Yeah, he will make more money on an NFL practice squad but he's closing the door on the chance to start up here & maybe develop into a great qb. He's wasting his time right now. It's hard to believe that he's wearing blinders like a horse. Majority of players would have moved to other opportunities by now.

Absolutely terrifying.

Tommy a Jet fan, now? The Jets will get smoked round one.

I'm sure Elgersma's agents (he's dumb enough to pay for 2) are busy lining him up for more useless NFL tryouts.

He'll continue to miss even more. With great advisors like that, I hope they're doing it for free.
