  1. Watching episode 7 tonight & the last in the series of Godless. When I read the plotline for the series, it didn't sound very interesting about a town of women who lost their men folk in a mining explosion. But as I like Westerns I decided to give Godless a chance & have been very pleasantly surprised throughout. The acting is superb & a really good story is weaved through the character building of the protagonists in the series. My only complaint. One season. Seven episodes. Make these one off series on Netflix or Disney+ really worth watching. Either bring them back for another season or stretch the one season to between 12-14 episodes.
  2. Fajardo is going into his second season in Edmonton.
  3. Plus, I believe the salary cap is going up again so we'll see...
  4. If we wouldn't pay lawler then why would we pay what Gino wants?
  5. It's an upgrade but not a solid one. Just his history & struggles with the run games as OC in Hamilton & Ottawa makes me wary. They better ttell him if he comes to Winnipeg, the offense goes thru Brady Oliveira not Nic Demski... But if they're choices one & two for Zach this may work. I'm hoping we sign an impact OL in free agency.
  6. We drafted him, right? I have a feeling that he wouldn't play for us. With his entire family on theLower mainland, I think he'd want to play for BC.
  7. It would be a great disappointment if they hired Condell because like you say, he's just a poor man's recycled version of Paul LaPolice. Condell will be under a lot of pressure to use Brady the team has committed the next three years to Brady & paid him $$$ to keep him here. Four or 5 touches just won't cut it. But historically, as far as the run game goes, he'd a terrible choice. So, we'll see. Also, not a fan of his dink & dunk offense. We might be better off just hiring LaPo again. However, if Hogan is gone then I'll applaud that. He was so bad. I'd have liked to see Jarious Jackson given a chance at OC. he'd have been my choice.
  8. A LaPo disciple. Dink & dunk everywhere. Not as many gadget plays as LaPo. Although he did gave Dru Brown throw the ball more than he usually did. Brady better tell him to feed him the ball. He doesn't run the ball much. That means JJ may not be back. What qb out there right now that's available can we get to rid us of the albatross?
  9. If Jake comes back it means O'Shea talks a good game but the reality of it is he hasn't changed. Things will be as they always have been.
  10. There is money left over for the cap season that has to be used up by December 31st that can be used towards next season. I'm thinking that what Walters is doing since he never spent to the cap this past season. We just don't know what the cap situation is from last season (2025).
  11. Pretty close to North America as well. I can only imagine the travel if there was a team in Halifax. The Lions located ina city close to 3 million people have all kinds of travel itineraries to chose from. Halifax barely 400,000 doesn't. Terrible time zone to boot halfway to England from Western Canada. Go clean out the stalls for the Reindeer, especially Rudolph.
  12. Yeah, both teams seem to believe their GMs have jobs for life.
  13. it pays to be located in the middle of the country.
  14. How can you have an Asst GM but no GM? Talk about a top heavy "who's in charge" organization???
  15. I think our schedule is a good one for us. We don't travel as much as other teams.
  16. Which has been the history of Chevy since day 1 when he declared no impact free agent players wants to sign here. We've had one GM the entire life of this franchise. Just like the Bombers, wouldn't it be interesting to find out what someone else would do?
  17. So, attendance is terrible in Edmonton & Toronto. Not so great in Calgary & Ottawa. Only Winnipeg sold out all their games & with our downturn this season, I don't expect that to happen again. Maybe Saskatchewan will lead the league in attendance this coming season. The Commissioner is trying to change things up & is villified by the same fans who won't show up for a CFL game but can't wait for the NFL to start every year.
  18. Glad Sunderland's gone. There was always the chance if Walters had been fired that this shnook would have taken over.
  19. Disagree. There are a shortage of quality American OL now. This has been a problem for a number of years.
  20. I don't get the format. Six franchises with corresponding mythical curling clubs with no information on where these teams are located. Like, Saskatoon & Winnipeg? Edmonton & Calgary?? Minneapolis & Fargo? New York?? Vegas?? Japan? Norway,?? Zurich, Switzerland?? Are they going to play in tournaments in one place?? Like the XFL & USFL? I just can't see this lasting.
  21. Well, "20-30 times" means up to 30 times a game. No running back today in football carries the ball up to 30 times at the pro level. Maybe the odd game due to circumstances but an OC in the CFL shouldn't be planning that on a regular basis.
  22. Who said he touched the ball 30 times a game?
  23. Just to add even into the mid 2010's teams tried to go with a minimum of 4 & if possible 5 Canadians on the OL. It became nearly impossible to build a cohesive line with Canadians as the kids coming out of U Sports with the exception of a couple every year were incapable of starting. Their level of training & experience in U Sports never prepared them for what was coming in the CFL as they never saw it in college. Yet, they demanded 6 figure salaries as they were important to coaches so they could play 5 on the line & 2 elsewhere on the starting day roster. Teams like the Bombers who struggled for years trying to build an All Canadian OL began to play more Americans.
