There are no starting qbs on the horizon anywhere. The backup qb situation sucks.

Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
I used to have a 1966 Canadian Silver Dollar. I had it since I was a kid. My son has begun collecting coins so I gave it to him. I think it.s worth $6 or &7. 1966 was the last year the Canadian mint used actual siver to make that coin. There is another 1966 silver dollar circulating that is rare. If you have it, it's worth hundreds of dollars because it's so rare. i used to know how to check but I've since forgotten. I do know that the coin I had was not that rare coin.

You think you had it rough? This was my first career job working with my hands. My boss was tough. He was a slave driver. I'm so old I had a Jesus Starter jacket.

Who could we have replaced him with? I'd like to know.

Fifty thousand ain't much if they want to sign amy more free agents. Where would the Bombers spend this windfall? On signing another player or for injuries come the season? I guess every bit helps.

The TV Thread
PG13? What show are you watching? It's rated TV +14. For network tv, that's a mix of violence & language toned down. If it was on Netflix,it probably would have a TV+18 rating.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
Okay, thanks for going into it with a bit more detail. Not fitting in could mean a lot of negative connotations. I'll say this after watching our DL the past 3 seasons & the way it has been stocked & coached, it was a fricking disaster. I'd take an aging Mauldin as even if he was slipping in his performance, he'd have been better than what we had.

Around the NHL 2025-26
Canada & Edmonton have put in a joint bid for the World Cup of Hockey in 2028. Calgary's new arena will be ready at that time. Bettman was in town yesterday to see the progress that's been made in construction. He won't say who has the winning bid but you have to think with a brand spanking new 18,000 seat arena here along with the Rogers Centre in Edmonton that they'd have to be the favourites.

So tell me, why wouldn't Mauldin have fit in anywhere else? Was he a cancer in the dressing room? Was he uncoachable? Was he a selfish? A "Me First" player? From everything I have ever heard he was great team player. Had he wanted to leave Ottawa even 3 years ago, there would have been 8 other teams that would have tried to sign him.

When Mauldin was in his prime? You kidding? He would have been the #1 free agent out there iin 2021-23. Of course, he'd have been paid.

Mauldin just wasted his time playing in Ottawa. Never won a Grey Cup. Did he even win a single playoff game during his time in Ottawa? Yet there he was. The best DL in the CFL playing on the worst team in the CFL his entire career. He never took advantage of the leverage he had. He could have signed for more money & a real shot at a championship somewhere else. I can understand all star players from the past who were stuck on bad teams their entire careers because free agency never existed at the time. Guys like Long Gone Jim Thomas, Greg Pipes, Ken Nielsen, Dave Raimey, John Lagrone, George Dixon, Ken Sugarman, Jim Young, D i c k Shatto & Don Luzzi. They had no choice. Teams wouldn't trade or lose them to free agency. They were in effect, trapped. Stuck on teams they couldn't leave. They could "play out their option" after their contract expired for a 20% reduction in pay based on the expied contract & then could sign elsewhere the following season. So, in effect a 3 year deal actually was a 4 year deal with the reserve clause. If they did all that & still left their team then they were labelled as troublemakers. CFL General Managers weren't quick to sign them. It was a "you scratch my back & I'll scratch yours" type of situation in the 1960's & 70's. GMs knew if they had a problem with a player, they could count on their fellow GMs not to sign them as the next time it could be another one of them with a problem player. So collusion did happen & teams worked together to keep salaries down. For most players it wasn't worth the hassle so they didn't do that. They just signed a new deal & stayed put. In today's CFL, players have total freedom. They can sign 1 year deals & then leave. Mauldin chose not to. Strange decision. He would have made more money & might have been a Grey Cup Champion somewhere else.

Most of these young, unknown & never have played qbs on a CFL roster are just that. Waste of time & money. Come & go like head colds. If they can't do short yardage they never see the field. And change from year to year.

I'm just gonna say that would be up to Osh. Other than that, if they think Bethell-Thompson can still play then sign him. If not, find somebody else. We need a veteran. Someone who gives us a chance if Collaros goes down. He's been hanging around year.
