That's a rule solving a problem that doesn't exist. Making a simple thing complicated for no reason.

Think this might be old news
Pretty lame given his uncle Dave (Christian) played for Jets 1.0. Glad we didn't lose any draft picks or Lambert either. Would have been fine if the Islanders took Barlow.

I remember Chase being out there with his dad when he was being honored by the Bombers. I always kept the hope that one day he'd be a football player, and play for Winnipeg like his dad. I know football didn't end up being his choice for sports, but I knew whatever he did he'd make his dad proud. This is one of those "life just isn't fair" moments. Too many of those lately unfortunately.

Definitely 2022, and 2023 if Bighill had been sat instead of playing.

O'Shea affectionately referred to Kramdi as "a bit of a prick".
“I love the way Redha plays football, his passion for the game. And he’s got that ability to be a prick, and that’s a good thing on the football field.”
Asked today to expand a bit further on the ‘prick’ component, O’Shea added this: “It’s a term of endearment from me. When that gets that bestowed upon him, that’s very positive. It’s just that edge — not the penalty — just the edge, the desire to win your one-on-one and beat your opponent all the time and no quarter. You just want to beat them.”
Unless it's a Grey Cup game....

Wayne Gretzky - hid him from 1979 draft year because of personal contract service with PP.
Leon Draisaitl - Third Overall pick in 2014 entry draft rewarded for losing.
Connor McDavid - First Overall pick in 2015 entry draft rewarded for losing.
Again, my jealousy and petty exaggerations has no bounds.
If only Michael Gobuty knew how to play backgammon....argh....

Leon is great but I don't consider him a generational talen and I don't think anyone expected him to be as good as he's been.
McDavid has been the promised one since he was a kid while some "experts" (like Button or McKenzie) had Leon rated 4th or lower in his draft year. We're splitting hairs though - A++ vs A+ is still exceptional.
Florida now has 3 of the top 4 players taken in the 2014 draft. What a draft year that was! We took Ehlers (which was a great choice) but we could have had Pasternak! Dylan Larkin as well. That's how deep that draft was. As for Drai, I got to see him play here in Kelowna in 2015, when the Rockets mortgaged their future and made the trade for Drai and Morrissey for their Memorial Cup run that year. I was surprised that Drai didn't go first overall.

So if I have it correct
@Booch is going to pull a Tonya Harding on Kolo, so we can get Eli at C.
@wbbfan will do the same to K.Wilson, so that Ayers doesn't get cut.
So who is taking out Jake?
A gift card to Foody Goody?

Difference is Walters and O'Shea are patriots and have no problem playing 9-10 Canadians.
Let's just go 100% Canadian already, would just make roster management so much easier.

I don't think it's anything about butting heads. He was excused for family reasons, though I am wondering if he is going to be up here with us this year or at all now too.
Upper thorax family reasons....

listening to the game on CJOB right now, only option as CFL.ca won't even open. The entire site has crashed.

With that stache and mullet he looks like every guy attending a social in Manitoba in 1987...
