Your wife had the better idea, even more so if you come across to the West side. Check out Clandelboye or Petersfield and you’ll be amazed at how great those communities are.

You're from TO and are blinded on anything not Toronto. I had a friend visit for the first time ever in late October, stayed at the Alt across from the arena, walked to the Forks and Human Rights Museum. He couldn't stop glowing about what a great experience he had (Friday to Saturday). I will take the impression of someone that lives in Europe, has lived in LA and travels all across NA every year over anything you have to offer about our city. PS. I was in Toronto Dec 14th to 15th and spent Thursday evening downtown, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, including the Christmas market. Not quite Vancouver in December but a great experience.

My apologies to the forum, apparently I am feeling a little punchy today, should have realized it earlier when I chose to argue about how many Subway locations in EK/Transcona in the restaurant/food thread...

Hey, if they feel that a year after they let him go as he was behind too many guys here and he's a good option now that those guys are gone I guess I'll live with that. I just have to feel that he costs more than others we have coming to camp and that the most recent history of poor roster mgmt could lead to him starting over someone that might be more raw now but has a higher ceiling overall. You have to think that Lofton signing this early in FA would indicate that we made him a pretty good offer to come, sure he can get cut at anytime but... Can we afford to pay depth more than league minimum? I can't see Lofton signing today for minimum. For me it's a combination of the player and what he hasn't shown so far in his career and how much more he costs than a pure rookie. If we are relying to have Neufeld helping this guy be good enough, wouldn't the same hold true for a raw rookie?

CFL.ca reports is as Week 19 against BC, can't easily find the depth chart but I thought was for Stan but I'm likely wrong.

Yes, Lofton started for us in place of Big Stan in the last game in 2022 and we didn't see enough to have him here in 2023 over Richmond. If Sask didn't want him for LT in 2024 why would we want him here to try out for RT. I sure hope we signed him for league minimum.

Is Walters trolling this forum with his Ol signings? First Kolo over Gray and now Lofton? YUCK!!!

I never get the cookies. I am usually more concerned with the handling of the GF Bun and McLeod would be the best in the area at that, although I have tried all 7 of the nearby locations, of the 4 I have they have the best service and turn out the best results for me. ESP would be a destination for us and it wouldn't include Subway, I would be going to Birdshill for Jonesy's.

One on McLeod, one on Concordia. From my experience the best sandwiches come out of McLeod but now having moved out of the area I choose between the two in Selkirk and the one by Walmart is the better of the two. Especially when the overly happy older woman is working, she is a true sandwich artist. One on Munroe by Giant Tiger too.

Damian Jackson seems little like an "unmoveable force", maybe he can be switched from D-Line to O-Line. Yes, Yes I am trolling my own fan base...

I’m pretty sure the most exciting transaction will be the player that “came to terms” with the Riders but has a change of heart…

Maybe some orders were placed for #20 jerseys but they haven’t had any pre-made since the season ended. Had have one done up for junior for Christmas.

The kids were told Demski would be there today too but something came up. He says is totally tops Jake Thomas reading to his class back in grade 3 when we were still in the city.

Pretty good day at Clandeboye School today, both Willie Jefferson and Patrick Neufeld made the trip out and read to the kids for I Love to Read month. Junior was able to wear the Oliviera jersey he got for Christmas and got autographs on his W chain.

They could, but would they? Bombers showing decent annual profits would be more motivated to spend than MLSE.

I think I would take it one step further and have a starting QB plus a player of choice included in Marquis. Likely be ruled an unfair advantage to the Bombers.

UGH, why did I read that while eating lunch. Almost couldn't keep it down at the thought of it.

Even as a depth signing this just feels dumb to me, shouldn't our depth be young guys learning with upside. Full of P&V, going out and running over people when they get on the field? We need to build for the future, not hang on to the past. Do Walters and O'Shea have that little faith in their scouts and the players they have / will draft? Just mind boggling, I need to walk away...

This is not the news I wanted on a Friday, feels like the news story the Gov't wants to bury and should have been a 3pm announcement not this early in the day. Love Fatboi as a person and appreciate all he has done but the real estate market will pick up this year, I promise...

I don’t think it’s the contract amount that is at issue, he was the least needed of our OL free agents. Eli is already on the roster and better at centre. With Bryant, Gray/Dobson, Eli, Neufeld and Hardrick/Richmond we have the best O-Line on the league and have better protection for Zach than we had before. That $50 or 60k over a rookie developmental is needed for other players.

Three of is share an office, two in our 50's and one in her 40's. We were having a conversation back before US Thanksgiving and started talking Turkey Drop and she had no idea what we were talking about. Had to bring up the clip on Youtube and share it. Oh the youth, the lack of education is shocking!!!

Stronson? Or maybe he wouldn't ever come out from behind his keyboard...

I HATE this signing so much. I just can't think of any situation that this is good for us. Of anyone that we should have been okay letting walk he gets re-signed? F#&K it is going to be a long season of watching Zack on his back.

T & B will need to calm themselves a bit, can't imagine them at a game with him playing considering how excited they are normally.

I sure hope this kicker is the real deal, could be the next Bob Cameron and move here for life, well, maybe moving to your in-laws home town isn’t the draw one might think it could be…
