For an in-game backup mayyybe. I’d rather see an American if Brady was out for more than a week.

How can you give PP a pass when no one forgave Brian Mulroney? Doesn’t make any sense ? No worries, I’m just poking the bear or whatever. The thoughtful points you have when you argue like this get totally lost.

Well as the active roster stands right now, he’s on there. I’m not talking about replacement in number of reps. I’m talking about replacement of a roster spot in itself. I said it seems silly to have Shmeckel on the active roster (which he currently is, albeit could be the game day scratch) while Caleb Thomas is on the PR. The one mildly annoying thing about O’Shea is at times, the roster management can seem a little odd. This is part and parcel with that. For real though, it’s preseason. Bombers are the best team in the league. We’re nitpicking because it’s what we do.

No, not every other club has picked up gems in the off-season. DT in particular is a position that has gotten progressively worse since November 2019. They let Nevis and Stove walk, replaced them with Sayles and now Walker, who aren’t bad by any stretch but certainly downgrades. Now they’ve let Sayles walk and replaced him with…Tanner Shmeckel It’s mildly concerning.

Yeah it kind of seems like the whole camp was a punting and 3rd QB competition. Surprised Shmeckel made the team, let alone the active roster, I saw him get manhandled 4 or 5 times over the games. Not being able to fit Caleb Thomas on the AR is silly. As is only having one extra DE. (I’m not counting Bennett as reliable to fill in just yet) Few too many guys making the club from the tub as well. I don’t think the sky is falling but this sure didn’t feel like a typical draft or American recruiting year.

The comparison was just so out of left field to me. I’m certainly not going to get into a whole other thing on what Kinew did. I’ll say that it sucks that he was abusive towards a woman. I’ve been more or less a lifelong NDP voter. To be honest, I’d be inclined to for the MB Liberals right now first, if they even had a smidgen of standing. As it is, I’m not a millionaire or an evangelical so I have absolutely no reason to support the Conservative party in any form. I’ll be voting NDP again in October, despite the fact that I think they could choose a better leader.

"These are not episodes in my life I'm proud of," Kinew said. "I struggled with alcohol, and that caused me to behave in ways that weren't healthy for me, or those around me. When the alcohol stopped, so did the fights. Violence, racism, and sexism are unacceptable. I've apologized unequivocally, and I do so again: to anyone I harmed, I am sorry” "Because of my past, I understand the challenges of young people in our society who are struggling with the same things I was — alcohol, addictions, anger. I know that they can do better, because I learned how to do better," Kinew said. Kinew attended sweat lodges "to purify himself" and participated in a sun dance event, during which he fasted for four days and pulled buffalo skulls by piercings cut into his body. "Suffice it to say, it shows a significant degree of commitment by the individual who attends," Miller said. Kinew also began attending regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. "While abstaining from alcohol, he has had no involvement in the justice system," Miller said. "He realizes this is a lifelong path he has to follow." I don’t know why I’m even biting on this, but @SpeedFlex27 The comparison to Bobby Hull.. Come on, I know you’re better than that. First of all, you’re comparing a guy who’s running for Premier to a wife beating, Hitler idolizing (and dead) hockey player. Second, there’s zero indication Bobby Hull showed any kind of remorse or accountability for his behaviour. Third, regardless of what party is in charge, healthcare is a mess everywhere in this country right now. It just so happens that the Manitoba PC party have deliberately and methodically used policy to make Manitoba health care worse.

Oh and Reggie Slack too

Ok so we’ve got a consensus. Piggy is a combination of KG, Strev, Russ Michna, Tracy Ham, Bryan Randall and Ricky Ray. For real though, I think it’s a consensus he’s worth developing at the very least.

Augustine has looked awful, and I’ve always been bullish on him. He might be past it, or nicked I just don’t know what’s up there.

One more VERY Happy Honker Award for the little boy who sang O Canada. Heart disease survivor. Transplant at 4 months old. Personally, the story hits very close to home. Seeing this little guy with his parents had me straight up bawling. Couldn’t be happier for them!

While I wouldn’t say Ricky Ray, that throw to Agudosi had some touch.

I missed that play dealing with the kid. My Dad said it looked like Parker got hit in the bag.

HH- No major injuries in either exhibition game.

I can’t believe they still put him on there.

He was a late TC cut (beat out by Stove in camp) and I believe chose to sign with the Als rather than take a PR spot here.

It’s kind of a shame the MB Liberal party has no standing. As far as rhetoric goes anyway, Lamont seems very reasonable across the board.

Talk about names. I spent years hoping Stephan Ali would come up here.

I was all in that year. Thought it was going to be a new dynasty after they beat Calgary in the home opener. Every win after that was “they’ve turned a corner”

An alternate universe exists where Otis Amey was a perennial all star.

I thought he was from Ffort Mac

Excited to be able to actually watch football. I’m sure they have their plans and I know it’s only exhibition, but that LB corps..yikes. No Leggs at all? Weird. I guess he’s locked in as the starting punter though.

https://3downnation.com/2023/05/23/toronto-argonauts-unveil-new-uniforms-for-150th-anniversary/ Like their helmets, that’s about it. Number font is awful, looks like a knock-off Titans jersey. They also have the Oregon winged shoulder pattern which designers are obsessed with slapping on every new set these days. This time, it’s “oars” I may be in the minority but I can’t stand the mono look for football uniforms. Our current alts as well annoy me for this reason.

Agreed. I’d also get rid of the big wordmarks above the numbers that every team has. That being said, Bombers still have the best uni sets in the league and it’s not close.

So Lunsford was the 70s answer to Brendan Taman?
