    I ran the numbers awhile ago and a CFL team will need to start 8-12 different receivers in the course of a season.  I think that Calgary needed something like 13 in a recent year when they had a real bad run of injuries.
    You just need a lot of receivers in this league.

    back in the 60. 70's & 80's when that passing game exploded there was always a t least one starting Canadian who was an impact receiver. The Lions had Jim Young who was a thousand yard receiver & IMHO one of the Top 10 receivers of all time. The Stamps had guys like Rudy Linterman, Gerry Shaw & Terry Evanshen. The Riders had Bob Richardson & Jeff Faairholm, Bombers had Bob Larose, Joe Pop & Rick House.  Ottawa had Whit Tucker & Tony Gabriel. I guess my point was that great Canadian receivers have always been a part of  CFL offenses going back 70 years but I agree with you that the guys that play now have taken things to another level.

    Princess Auto Stadium is a terrible name, but so was Investor's Group Field. So whatever.

    I never get worked up about QB signings. 
    They're all good QBs at the college level, we wouldn't sign them otherwise, but the odds are so stacked against them.  Few of them will be both good enough to make the leap and lucky enough to get the right opportunity at the right time to make that leap.

    I agree that Jimmy John's sucks ass from a quality perspective but they get your sandwiches out fast.  when I was working my worst job and had regular days fulla meetings that five minute turnaround time was sometimes the difference between eating and not.

    If Walters managed to get a draft pick for a guy who wasn't signed sealed and delivered, I will be embarrassed for the redblacks.
    man, we've come a long way from the days of the redblacks expansion draft.  Ten years ago they couldn't even find anyone worth drafting on our roster.  now we are supplying them with QBs.

    Does Jesse Lumsden have any kids who play football?  Watched his dad play, watched him play, am scared there's a Lumsden 3 out there that's gonna be running counters and traps over my grave.

    It's not 6 months work when you factor in that they have to work out every single day, 12 months of the year to be in football shape. Hasn't been a part time job in many many years. Factor in that your career can be over in a heartbeat in this rough sport, and they should be getting every penny they can.

    I'd be somewhat on board if the team that scored the TD got the option for those kickoffs...or ball at 40 for other team.  After a FG let the receiving team decide.
    Otherwise up to the last 3 mins of the game you penalize the team that just scored if they want to maybe try an onside or gain field position.

    It's the time of the year where some folks on here freak out and believe that the Bombers are the only team making any changes,  that the Bombers have zero money for free agency,  and where they believe Walters is sitting at home doing absolutely nothing and that every other team in the league will be signing all stars while we get older and crappier.       Then after a few weeks Walters extends some of our guys and then signs one or two guys from Free Agency and everyone does a 180 and falls in love with Walters again and gets over confident about how awesome we are all while making fun of the Riders for overpaying on mediocre talent.     
    I feel like I've experienced this cycle on here for the last ten years ,   almost like a modified version of the movie Groundhog Day.

    Yeah I'm not sure I buy the BLM is our starter line.  He was healthy for the ESF and they stapled him to the bench until garbage time. That said alot about how they saw him so other than his contract, what has changed?
    Edmonton said the same thing about Tre Ford but that didn't stop them from signing MBT.

    Daryl Peter "Moose" Johnston (born February 10, 1966) is an American former professional football player who is currently the Executive Vice President of football operations for the UFL. 
    You were listening to an advertisement and nothing more.  It's not a surprise he's going to promote his brand and not give the competition a second of free air time.   I would do the same if I were in that position, since you're trying to attract the same talent, especially that higher end talent who could actually play in the NFL one day.
