Teams shouldn't be given this kind of an advatage. Just like when the players went on strike, the practices in YYC & YEG should have stopped. The 2 teams could have meetings until they were in a legal strike postion but not physical practices.

He was some kind of qb. He would be considered not just a CFL star but a superstar. Zach Collaros plays the game the way Clements would have.

LDC 1986. Tom Clements to Perry Tuttle. Touchdown. I could watch this all day.

He's there.

You won't get any argument about that from me. Grant won 102 regular season games & 4 out of 6 Grey Cups. Most younger CFL fans & media probably don't know that much about him. It was decades before their time. Another coach that barely gets a mention is Frank Clair who won 3 in Ottawa & I believe another one or two in Toronto before coaching in Ottawa. Or Frank "Pop" Ivy who won 3 Grey Cups in a row in Edmonton in the 50's. Hugh Campbell, Wally, Matthews, Bud Grant & Frank Clair are my Top 5.

So, why do the Riders get a break & we don't? We were supposed to play that game on May 23rd & now it's been moved to May 31st as well?

Your comment won't change my opinion. This has nothing to do with forgiveness. If it was a legit health issue with Eli for not getting vaxxed then my opinion would be different. However, looks like it wasn't. Just that he simply refused to get the jab & it affected our depth on the OL for the Grey Cup. Luckily, there were no injuries in the playoffs or GC. . You only have to look at the Bomber organization & see how they feel. Seems like he was quietly released. If they weren't upset over what happened then I'm certain that he'd be back. He's gone. A free agent. He hasn't signed anywhere. The Bombers don't seem to want him back. That says it all. We all make choices & we have to accept the consequences.

Huffman was a beast.

To viewers who remember the original, this will always be Thomas Magnum & Higgins. Not them. Magnum PI cancelled after just 4 seasons. This series might have had a better chance with a different name & premise. Reboots seldom work. I knew this sweries would fail when they made Higgins female & his main love interest. The funny thing about the original series is how the two protaganists would play off each other every week. Higgins felt that Magnum was sloughing off the good graces of Robin Masters. It was a lot of fun. It wasn't fun watching Higgins changed to a female lead being Magnum's love interest. I never missed an episode back in the 80's. I watched a couple of shows over the years of the new series including what turned out to be the series ender last week.

They wanted to cheap out at qb so they could strengthen other areas. It's a gamble that could pay off or really backfire for the Lions. If O'Rourke isn't the answer, a lot of dominos on that team willstart to fall. Not to mention the fact that if O'Rourke does play well then he'll have to be paid which means some players will be gone. Even if he doesn't play well & is rteplaced by a veteran CFL qb he'll still have to be paid & they'll have the same problem. Not the best way to manage the salary cap.

If there was a health issue, he'd be at training camp, I think.

Eli. not the smartest knife in the drawer. Put himself ahead of the team. You know there were guiys who probably didn't want to get the jab but did it anyway because to them the team meant more. Just a selfish move on his part. With Liam Dobson signing, any fans outside Winnipeg who think this team won't have a chance to 3 peat is living in a fantasy world.

Lol. He's a nice man. I like talking to him. I message him on FB messenger & talk about his days in the CFL. Or he'll have a take on what' s going on now. Interesting to talk to these old veterans who were there as football transitioned to the game we know now.

One of the best photos ever. Jim Furlong played a long time with the Stamps & was an excellent player. He was an OLB but he could alao played receiver. Thing is, Furlong was born in Winnipeg but moved to Lethbridge where he played HS football. After HS, he attended the University of Tulsa. He signed with the Stamps right during the Bomber dynasty. I wonder if he ever wished he was playing for his old hometown team than the Stamps. While the Bombers were winning Werstern Finals & Grey Cups he was watching his team find different & imaginative ways to lose in the playoffs in the 60's. Furlong still lives in Calgary.

Flanker Ken Nielsen #21 jumps hign & makes a great catch in a crowd during a 1969 pre season game at Winnipeg Stadium. Covering for the Calgary Stampeders are (left to right) Outside Linebacker Jim Furlong #70, Cornerback Frank Andruski #24 & Defensive Back Larry Robinson #15. Back in the day when teams played 4 pre season games they didn't put striping or logos on the helmets. That was for the regular season only.

He's already under investigation by the RCMP for voter fraud in the 2018 UCP Leadership Race. That there was voter fraud which screwed Brian Jean out of winning that race. Of course, the RCMP is still investigating after 4 years. There's been no update from them in over 2 years.

Oh, don't involve me.

Except for your last paragraph that seems to be a shot at some posters here regarding Man Love about Streveler, I agree with the other stuff. The Bombers don't need to do whatever it takes to bring him back. We won a GC without him last year. This isn't the same offense he played in during 2019. It's more passing downfield & attack. Not spread out the defense throwing checkdowns & running for first downs. Can Streveler even play in an offense that throws the ball more? He hasn't shown he can be an effective starter. I don't want us overspending for a guy who'll not come cheap & can't throw. Not happy with Dru Brown either. Some decent qbs will be let go in Edmonton. Maybe one of them ends up here.

I think you're blowing things a bit out of proporton on the future of Alberta. When it comes right down to it Kenney played dirty politics. He was a crook. He cheated to win the UCP leadership in 2018 & he did the same thing with the review. Except that the voters in the ladership review knew that already so it didn't work. For example, just 8 credit cards bought $48,000 worth of new UCP memberships. Who were these 8 individuals with the credit cards? Why aren't their names being released? What candidate were they working for? Were they government credit cards or individual? Why would anyone spend their money on their own credit cards buying memberships? So I think I know the answer to that question. These memberships were bought & paid for by taxpayer dollars. Other accusations include memberships being sold in people's names who didn't buy them. Elections AB is now investigating. Kenney's word could never be trusted. He was as transparent as the Red River. For him, being Premier was going to be a stepping stone to a coronation as leader of the CCP & ultimately PM. Kenney's govt was corrupt. He was a contemptable little man.
