One other thing I will say is how proud I am to have Osh as our coach. In each of these incidents he has come out with statements that are on the right side and wasn't afraid to be critical of the CFLPA or the Argos/CFL interpretation of the CBA.

Why would the Als even let him in the door? If they want to be competitive they need to upgrade their roster, not rely on short term fixes like old man Lemon.
This exactly, why aren't the Als facing and backlash on this? Guys betting on games they are playing in is usually only bad for the team...

Willie Jefferson was at my daughter’s school last year. Believe the promo money would be like appearing at let’s say a signing at a dealership or something along those lines. Strev got promo money did he not. So bombers giving it out to guys who will draw fans in right. Ain’t no rookie or nobodies getting promo cash.
The Bombers don’t pay players to attend businesses, businesses pay for that. I know from having given Milt envelopes of cash back in the day.

I expect this money gets paid to players for their school appearances in schools for I Love to Read Month and other things like that.

Looks like someone leaked the executive summary that was provided to the Argos/CFL.
Surprised the by-line here is Naylor and not Westhead tbh
https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/dave-naylor-independent-investigation-corroborates-three-of-six-allegations-against-chad-kelly-1.2118960Anyone else feel that the player that refused to answer questions during the investigation should face repercussions as well? I'm of the mind, if you aren't working to solve the problem, you are part of the problem. Hopefully he gets subpoenaed for the court case and tells the truth. F$%K the "Double Blue" line...

I think the fact that CK is in Toronto and will be at Training Camp in Pinball's words "because the league says he could" is a real bad look for the Argos. If he can't play for a minimum of 9 weeks, IF he does the assigned tasks and is approved by a third party he shouldn't be around the team until he has at least begun this work. I did not get the sense from Pinball that he gets it, mostly that he's trying to toe a very fine line with the league but really is trying to protect his guys.
Maybe more than ever I think he and Murphy as a minimum need to go.

I didn't realize that Utah had to wait until 2025-2026 to launch their team. I am surprised it isn't this year...

OK...and it appears there is a floor for the spending but no upper limit.
This is the part that is so weird to me, a floor set for spending on this, in a league that tries to control all spending to make things "fair". I wonder if such an amount exists for the Ops groups and not just players cap.

That’s a great deal. I paid almost $900 for that trip last fall for a conference.

I will always appreciate Coach Bowness for all he accomplished here and the culture change that occurred under his leadership.
I will not be please is Arniel is automatically anointed "The Next One", has he not been the one responsible for our abysmal PP and PK the last couple of years? I always loved the Jets 1.0 connection but he needs to win the job as the best candidate.

Collectible stores seem to be common targets. Cancentral has had several incidents since their move to Milt Stegall drive.

And today the world is a better place.
I will never forget where I was when the freeway chase happened, in Duluth, MN and to the surprise of all the Canadians in the room there were some people cheering for him to get away. Like WTF???

I'm now able to listen to Green Day again. The sting of that night is almost gone.
My 11 year old listens to more Green Day because of that game. If nothing else I call that a parenting win coming out of that crap day.

I sure hope they aren't partnering with Access to supply card processing in the stadium. Access can't even provide a stable e-transfer system for their clients, can't imagine they can handle the processing from an event the magnitude of a Banjo Bowl.

Just tried Bahn Mi King for the first time today and it is incredible. Of course I can't eat the bread but one of my coworkers had a sub and is raving. I had a beef salad and my mouth is drooling...

Well at least I can get there but I've never been that far into the North End on my own
West Kildonan or Seven Oaks neighbourhood.
The White Top drive in. Where we grabbed supper last night is North End.

and BDI is going to try again with a second location, this time on the corner of Main and Jefferson (near the Redwood Bridge? well I know where those buildings are so I have a good idea where it could be)
I have to assume in the location that was most recently operating as Scoops. Scoops has never been the same since moving from the original location and 9 Below or what ever that place is called is just not the same either. Scoops used to be the best place in the city to get a traditional "malt" or "malted" but alas those days seem to be behind us. Have to settle for the ones from Sargent Sundae for the few months of the year that machine is dedicated to them and not other seasonal flavours. Not like I complain when it changes to Pumpkin Pie Soft Serve in the fall, possibly some of the best ice cream served in WPG that isn't Dug and Betty's. Yeah, yeah, I know what about Chaeban and Fete, I like what I like...

It’s a good thing this draft has plenty of high level and ncaa talent. The athletic performance really wasn’t stellar for a lot of guys at the combine. Hladik fb who stands 6’4 230 and rb Anthony soles 6’2 220 ran best times of 5.0 and 5.19 in the 40. A lot of db/wr/lbers in the 4.8 and slower range. Many of those guys filling out with 26-30” verts and single digit 225 reps.
I wonder how much of it is these guys not being polished in the track skills, and how much is just low athleticism. It’d be interesting to average out the positions or take the highest drafted lowest athletic outlier and chart the numbers vs the ras and nfl averages.
Maybe the cfl should invest money in a program that helps provide strength and conditioning coaching to cis and junior players.
If the league managed to half the athletic difference from the average player at the nfl and cfl combine respectively, we would see a whole lot more value return from drafts and better calibre of play in the league.Can’t say much on the other measures but where was the 40 run? Down the hallway of the hotel? Was there sufficient run out room at the end? Measures like that shouldn't be compared unless taken under the same conditions.

I'm bummed to hear that about the recent Samsonite models. I guess that some things aren't made the way (or where) they used to be. I was looking at the Samsonite Classic NXT 3 Gusset Briefcase as a replacement for my daily. Makes you nervous when you can't just walk into a store and physically compare them. You just order it, wait until it arrives and hope for the best these days.
There has to be some places locally you can shop. Here we have a Samsonite store in the outlet mall, UN Luggage and last I looked The Bay still stocks some. When I bought mine Samsonite online & Amazon had it on sale, I was able to see it in person at The Bay but they would not price match so I ordered online.

Hard to go wrong with Thule in general. As a travel bag they really are good stuff and the Subterra line have a nice modern, minimalist look externally. But you could likely get enough in there between their spinner and backpack to last a good week on the road.
I'm the same as you for my workday bag (lappy, water bottle, good ol' stanley thermos in hammertone green just like grampa's was, and my EDC pouch). It's a Samsonite 3-zipper briefcase/shoulder bag that I got 22 years ago and after two decades of rough use is only now coming up for replacing. (mostly I'm a total mark for that company because as a child I remember their commercials featuring a gorilla attempting and failing to destroy their luggage).
I have a Samsonite Xenon 2 Spinner briefcase that I use when I travel to trade shows and am collecting crap all day as I walk around and it will be the last item of theirs I ever own. I have had issues with it since the first time I have used it but none of them were deemed warranty and repair/replacement was denied.
I have the same Stanley Thermos and a Navy Blue coffee tumbler that is one of the best I have used but the 3 piece top is a pain to clean.

Any chance you’ll look at a Gluten Free batter and dedicate a fryer to GF items? I know people that will drive all over for that. GF deep fried cheese curds is something I’ve drive to Fargo for…

Has anyone else been watching hockey with all the BET365 commercials? I was surprised (/s) by the one I saw last night detailing how you can see the app to restrict your access or to force you to take time away from it, I believe they called it a "holiday"...
