    Just reading about how Jones is breaking rules.... to protect the integrity of the league.
    This requires even more gin.

    So our most intense off-season discussion on this board is about our backup Canadian receiver...  I feel that's a good sign.

    There isn't a whole lot to investigate. This isn't like some forums that allow you to like your own posts.
    His recaps after each Bomber game are priceless and often better than the game itself.

    GCJenks reacted to Mr Dee in Free Agency Performance: GM Walters   
    I think, in a way, Walter's efforts are being short changed. After a year of a 'close to the SMS' Walters still managed to go into Free Agency with the fewest number of potential players about to leave. In the new CFL, with the new contracts, Walters has managed to tip toe on the sideline the of who to keep and who to just let go. 
    We did lose players, but except for maybe Burnett, they were accounted for. And we surely lost less than many teams, who lost far more in talent. See BC. Now, Buono has done a remarkable job in singing his own and other players to fill a need. Desjardins is proving to be more astute in handling the GM position than many thought, and even Reed is signing to improve.
    But the moves Walters has made cannot be simply be dismissed as minor. Replacing Shologan alone improves the team. As to re-signing Nichols, that's good. Extending Chungh was important. And the signing of Okpalaugo was an unforseen bonus equivalent to a long TD pass and run.
    A few look to maneuvering Medlock and Bryant's salaries as a weakness. Why? 
    Re-signing Adams was important and maintaining our Canadian depth signings (Briggs, Hurl, Remple) continues the building of NI talent that we haven't seen in years.
    And yes, Glenn is the more experienced QB, but what does that matter as an insurance policy-type player? LeFervour will fill that role quite nicely and under LaPolice, may surprise.
    The team didn't go for the dynamite signings this year, but still, with the Nevis signing, the moves made so far, are sound, and look to be quite good.
    Each week has seen some new players added (Will Smith, LeFervour) that were unexpected, but may be quite valuable. 
    Free agency can be a crapshoot and going into that week, we fans could be seen as 'anxious'. The nerves are a little more settled now, and maybe now we can realize we do have a CFL ready GM.

    Toby would be a great fit on the Pens.  But would they trade for him now?  He was slated to be out 2-3 weeks.  2 weeks would put him right at trade deadline day.  So presuming Pens get a look at his medical file, they might...

    The last day I won was June 24, 2016 ... opening day of the 2016 season.
    A flashy debut followed up by nothing, which I guess makes me the MBB version of Nic Grigsby.

    Hey now, speak for yourself.  I don't own any property outside the city and I fully support Thurs games in the summer over Saturday night, especially. Friday's are a good middle ground.
    Saturday games in the summer mean your weekend completely revolves around football - hey, not complaining!  But some of us NEED some nature in the summer to counter hibernating all winter.

    it's not a play on words, it's misuse of the language that have become commonly accepted because people care more about exaggerating than actually putting in some effort into creating more meaningful statements. 
    A lot of your criticisms of the commissioner come across as simply "I don't like the look of the guy so therefore I don't like any of it" 
    Give the guy a chance before we cast judgement. I mean the concussion statements are done for legal reasons no other so it's worthless to even judge him on that, I dunno what all went on with the drug testing but come on, the CFL has been a joke with drug testing long before he came along.

    If you look at the teams in the league who spend to the cap... playoffs certainly aren't a guarantee.  It's not about spending to the cap... it's about managing your cap. Jets have young players on ELC deals who when the time comes will get big raises.. spending 5 million extra bucks right now is great but... it guarantees nothing. But it could guarantee that in a couple years you don't have money for ehlers Laine Morrissey.  
    Let's look at Chicago. They have like zero cap... next year panarins new deal kicks in... they are going to have to move players out and teams won't just help them because... they moved bickell last year... but had to throw in teravainen. That's not good cap management.  Getting rid of a bad contract with a kid who has talent.  Would sure suck to have to lose Connor Roslovic Laine Morrissey  Ehlers etc because we don't have cap to pay them.
