Blue Bombers -- 2025/26 Offseason -- Discussion Thread
You don't know what the revenues are for the UFL & what revenues they're getting thru ticket sales, tv, local & national advertising, marketing agreements, radio deals & the like. Maybe it's $10M. Maybe it's less or more. Thing is, if it's because he's a Canadian that he can't play then it's over for him in the UFL. He should get his ass up here & start proving he's good enough to be our future starter.

Did you read what Booch said? No league is going to have a player they want tied up in issues crossing the border to play in the US when they need him. Birmingham signed him weeks ago so the paperwork should have been done by then. If you're a US immigration lawyer & actually can vouch for what you say then I'll believe you. If you're just a fan then why even argue this point, if you don't know (& probably don't)? To me, it just looks lik another **** up by his advisors. Or... this is what happened when the CFL expanded to the States in 1994. No canadians were allowed to play because the US teams would have had to prove any canadian players were better than Americans as they were taking jobs away from American players. So, not one Canadian was allowed to play on American CFL teams. we know for sure that there are better qbs than Elgersma that are Americans out there.

His agent should take care of that. That all takes time. You think once he makes a team that the paperwork starts? Good luck with that.

Which is why I don't understand why we never went after Taylor Powell & allowed Edmonton to sign him. Zach will be 38 this season & Cody Fajardo is 34. Why we couldn't have matched what Edmonton was paying or beat it is a real head scratcher. Why did we completely put aside qb development or improvemnet of the position because we're waiting for some diva qb who thinks he's good enough to play in the NFL after 2 years of trying? Life should have gone on. Except for Walters. He;s put the entire team on hold hoping Elgersma signs here & it hasn't happened. He blown it big time with Powell signing in Edmonton. In essence, the Bombers have done nothing because they're hoping Elgersma decides to come here. They've conceded the QB 2 position just waiting for him. So, now we have the worst QB room in the CFLn waiting for a guy who may never take a snap here. If he does sign, the moment his rookie contract is up he'll bolt to a CFL team in Southern Ontario or continue his NFL quest.

So, as my Ukrainian uncle used to say, "Tell me true..." You mean to say the guy is trying out for all these NFL teams & now wants to play in the UFL. He doesn't have a work visa??" Like WTF??

There was some kind of weird things going on between Osh & JJ. I don't think they meshed at all. Too bad as I like him as a qb coach/OC.

Their expectations shouldn't be non existent but realistic. Elgersma's chasing a dream that is becoming a shadow. He has a soft landing spot with the Bombers to continue his career. Elgersma has no idea how lucky he is. My son was at the CFL Western Combine in 2015 & standing beside him not 15 feet away was Chris Jones. He never even acknowledged his presence as at that time CFL teams didn't draft Canadian qbs. Never said a word to Tyler. Tyler at the CFL West Combine in Edmonton, March 2015.

The voice who said the ATC did all that he could was a pilot waiting for clearance to take off & was instructed to return to the terminal.- The Star Trek Thread!
You're in the minority. Most fans hated her. And the gay Klingon.- 25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
I disagree, Hogan was brutal. He was in way over his head. Why JJ wasn't the OC is beyond me. Typical Osh decision.- The Airline Thread
Terrible, terrible accident. As much as it looks like the fire truck was directed to be on the runway by an air traffic controller when the Jazz airplane landed, the driver of the firetruck should have checked to make sure the coast was clear. Had he looked properly, he'd have seen the plane coming down the runway at 100 mph. That poor air traffic controller might be the scapegoat & go to jail for negligence. From what I've read he was already dealing with another emergency with another aircraft & may have been distracted as well as overworked due to staff cuts initiated to controllers by Trump & Elon Musk.- The Star Trek Thread!
Discovery was the same way & it was cancelled. Fans hated it. Seeing a barefoot Captain sitting in an undignified way in the Captain's Chair was another thing fans hated about SFA.- Game 70: @Is it Gardening season yet?
