Definitely gotta put some love on Alexander's name, not only was he the final piece of our 2019 Grey Cup D, but he also shoved aside that twitter dummy we were starting at safety earlier that year. basically the ultimate WR3. You got distracted by Lawler or Adams or Schoen and Bailey would make you pay.

Man I wish that Mo Leggett had still been with the team for the Grey Cup wins. Definitely one of my favorites from the Matty Ice era. stupid achilles injuries.

aha, figured it out -- use "Paste" when using Macintosh Chrome instead of "Paste and Match Style" which is what you get when you use command-V

I was using Firefox when the embeds didn't work for me, so I'll try posting from Chrome... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWDg1lnGjY0 edit: nope

Some more Sheed highlights because that guy was one of my favorites. very first TD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lw9Ne1e2DM. <--- Yoshi and him rolling around the endzone like Anakin and Padme. Totally forgot that Tyler Crapigna was ever a bomber. falling bomb TD strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37gks3BTxf0 <--- check out the dope adjustment to the ball, which is slightly off target. the famous superman pylon dive TD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v49p6Z26jSE <--- freaking love the blocking on this play. BOLO tenaciously erases his man! (am I doing something wrong or does the new board version not support youtube thumbnails?)

yeah, liquid hydrogen is really really tricky stuff to work with -- a shame, because it's a great rocket fuel, but methane is so much easier to handle. hope they get it sorted, but SLS is kind of a debacle at this point. also, Canadian Jeremy Hansen is part of the crew for Artemis II. 🍁

There's that awesome career highlight diving freeze-frame TD that he scored against the Riders .... but this is the play when I first really noticed him. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxSDbfSuRwOGJbEWuhwhEvDatVdG2uDYyD?si=tx3Mb0rSlYd5kBjT Love how Howsare just pulls up and prepares to be hit when he sees Sheed coming across the formation. 88 got the key block on the first TD in Grey Cup 2019 and the rout was on. (youtube clips are awesome but I wish they previewed)

next time I need a sock puppet account to hype myself on MBB, it's gonna be called "The F Gap."

this is awesome. I wish that coach call-in shows worked like this. If some fan wants to talk out their ass on the coach's show, first they need to buy the coach a beer. It would be a better product from every perspective.

didn't everyone get the memo? Kyrie Wilson is the forum whipping boy now.

Can Tim White block like a Bomber?

His CFL future may be in doubt, but he will live on forever in our postgame happy honker reports.

Forget all that science nonsense about the equinox and axial tilt and whatnot. Leafs Elimination Day is the real first day of spring in the northern hemisphere.

It cannot be said enough. source: grew up in Leaf country.

I love you guys but also I hate you guys.

yeah, didn't see much from Logan last year that showed that he was still a CFL returner ... if Vaval is off chasing the NFL, would rather roll a rookie or a FA signing there.

Darvin Adams was a fiery accountability guy, too, right? I recall hearing he had a big personality.

40-year-old OL are pretty rare to begin with so we're already in a weird space. Maybe it gets weirder? I dunno.

as a fan, would love to see this -- hated how it ended with Sheed.

Moe Elewonibi converted to center for us in his late thirties.

I recall people here saying that Kolo could contribute as a spare OL or a guy in heavy run sets. Maybe he won't be the starting center in Hamilton?

Reinebold hasn't bounced around that much by CFL coaching standards. He's coached for three different CFL teams in the past decade. Noel Thorpe and Mike Benevides and Scott Milanovich (2nd best offense in 2025) and Corey Mace (best DC in 2025) have all coached for three different CFL teams in the past decade. Reinebold has been around the CFL for 30+ years now (!) so it's gonna seem like he's bouncing a lot but really he's just a typical CFL assistant.

Love it. Relentless lunch pail dude who does the dirty work on teams and does it well. Noticed him making a lot of solid teams tackles last year, but people tell me his teams game is much deeper than just chasing kicks...

don't need to pull a Reinebold. our 1996 team was clearly not good enough, but absolutely gutting the roster turned out to be ... not a great move in 1997.
