He'd only be here for a year so no harm.

For backup qb MBT. For receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr.

This maybe should be in the Grim Reaper thread but since it's CFL related, I thought I'd post it here. Former CFL player Barry Wilburn died yesterday in Memphis in a house fire. Wilburn was 62 years of age. Wilburn played for 3 CFL teams during his time in canada. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, BC Lions & Winnipeg Blue Bombers (in 1999). He also played for Washington & the Philadelphia Eagles. What a horrible way to go. Condolences to his family, friends & former teammtes.

The players contracts are up so I don't think any bonuses would be forthcoming from any expired contracts.

Yeah, Walters was really killing it early & then suddenly it was over. I was hoping for one or two more signings on the DL & that may happen yet. there still are some receivers out there like Gittens we sure could use. Surprised there haven't been any more announcements. maybe the second round of secondary signings will happen after the 9th when the negotiation window closes. I guess some free agents also know they'll sign somewhere & are weighing offers.

Rest In Peace, Brad Arnold. To die so young. Very tragic. Eff cancer.

I think most GMs would honour any contracts offered. I don't think any team would mess with the system they have to screw it up. Look at last year when they announced the salary cap kncrease right about now. A week after the window opened. No teams wanted to offer more to nab a player from another team or put in a different offer to keep or sign a free agent. Example: Kenny Lawler. The Bombers could have offered more but said no after he & the Ti Cats agreed to terms.

So, which teams were the free agent winners (including their own) & losers?

Don't remember but that's okay.

Yes.

But why make a public announcement? That would be protocol anyway. They know he's leaving. My point is, if you do it for one player then you have to do it for everyone. Even the backup long snapper who left in free agency. That's a heckuva lot of announcements league wide per team. I've no issue with it. Just that it was never done before.

It was a strange announcement. Nobody has ever done that before. Are they going to do that with every free agent they lose? What about the Argos & Ti Cats & the players they lost? That would be a lot of announcements per team. Our team last year? Some new CFL media protocol? It was just weird.

WTF is Hervey doing??? No one seems to know the motivation for this announcement other than Hervey really wanted Ceresna gone & is holding the door open as he leaves.

I saw The Factor is back & had no idea what it meant. Was that Arthur's nickname?

"Alright, open your books to page 19. The chapter on the ratio in the Canadian Football League".

Liam Dobson played Center for the Ti Cats in the playoffs. I'd say he's pencilled in as a starter at Center. Kolo may be lucky just to make the team. I sure as hell don't want him back here if he gets cut.

Why not? We're moving away from one or two Americans on the OL, thankfully. If coaches can make the ratio work there's no need to stack the OL like teams used to. Canadian skills are improving. More & more Canadians are capable of playing skill positions now like linebacker, corner or running back. Which means we can use three American offensive linemen.

I just have a bad feeling this mission or the next could set back space travel for 30 years.

To me, Chuck Negron was the best of the 3 singers in Three Dog Night. Negron had the band's most powerful voice, also the best range able to hit the high & low notes easily. Some Three Dog Night fans think this was his best work as a vocalist on The Show Must Go On. The drummer for Three Dog Night was Floyd Sneed born in Calgary in 1942. He moved to Los Angeles in 1966 wanting a career as a professional musician. He met the three vocalists Danny Hutton, Corey Wells & Chuck Negron in 1968 when they were forming Three Dog Night & became the band's drummer. Sneed left the band in 1977.

Then he was taken out rather than allowed to find his footing as a running back. Injuries are times when young players can gain valuable experience & he was just pulled.

i just don't have a lot of confidence this is going to bring the astronauts back safely. Sixty years ago computers were huge & engineers used a slide rule to figure out trouble/problems. See Apollo 13. Today, engineers have their calculators & desk/laptop computers to figure things out. I still think gene Kranz & his crew were superior. Hope I'm wrong.

Copying the photo then pasting it in my message. I don't see any link to attach it to like in the old version (It never worked for me anyway using the link). I tried to copy & paste this morning but nothing happened.

How do you post a photo or gif?

Khari Jones father used to post here. He & I used to have some interesting personal chats.

Thank you, Rich.
