Dave Thomas was ok but I kept wanting to call him the Wendy's guy.
The Bombers used to have Bob and Doug doing their broadcasts, but I'll tell you..... The Riders have the real hoser.

So do the Riders have 25 or 19?

This is totally laughable. Farhan is almost suggesting that the CFL should pay Rourke's salary since he would help drive up ticket sales across the league.
He talks about Rourke selling tickets to Stamps games in 2022. Well, the Lions' 2 games in Calgary averaged 22300 fans. The Bomber game for comparison had over 25k.

All the talk of kick return changes amount to nothing. Bit surprising, think they should’ve tested some option in pre season.
They'll prolly watch the NFL kickoffs this season to help determine if they want to go that route.
These are the changes for the upcoming season:
The league also announced it was ratifying other rule changes for 2024 directly relating to low blocks and decisions made by the command centre.
Low blocks have been adjusted to further define the actions of a backfield player delivering a low block. Backfield players may block a defensive player low who is lined up across, from, or outside of the offensive tackle at the snap if the block occurs in the legal low block zone. The league also removed the requirement for the backfield player to be within the legal low block zone at the snap to make the call easier to officiate, while also heightening player safety by limiting who can be legally blocked low.
No yards has now been added to the list of penalties that can automatically be picked up by the command centre if called incorrectly by on-field officials. Replay officials can only become involved when a clear mistake has been made.
Tripping the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage has also been added to the list of penalties that the command centre can assist on and is now challengeable by a coach.
Coaches are allowed to strategically use a timeout to provide the command centre with more time to automatically review a play that is not challengeable, though only one timeout can be used after the three-minute warning in the fourth quarter. Coaches still only have access to two timeouts per game.

Osh 4 wins away from 100. Pretty impressive. Only grant has more and believe it’s 102 wins. Quietly O’Shea is becoming the goat of bomber coaches.
If O'Shea passes Grant in playoff wins then undoubtedly he would be the top coach in Bomber history.
Bud has 15 playoff wins and Mike sits at 8. You'd think a few Grey Cups would be included in those additional wins.

The Bombers never explained earlier today why they only announced 6 cuts when 10 players had to be removed from the roster.
Now we know the other 4 moves that were made.
The CFL transactions page has Parker, Bighill and Noah Hallet moved to the 6 game injured list and Neufeld was moved to the retired list.
Hopefully Neufeld isnt actually retiring.

Teams are only allowed to have two vets go on that injured list. Otherwise you are putting guys on the 6-game IL right now to open up spots and then they have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season.
Thanks, where did you get this info? Was that included in the last CBA?

Looks like you had the numbers more or less bang on, but they didn’t cut the four “no shows”, probably just suspended
Fayad, DL Jordan Lewis, DL David Green, Randolph, WR Bryce Mitchell, WR Keontaye Thompson, K Jose Borregales and …. Anthony Bennett
Yeah, I didnt think about suspednding those guys but thats a smart move.
If they decided not to show up why give them the courtesy of cutting them so they can just sign with another team.
I wouldnt be surprised though if Fayad is re-signed when he is able to practice again.
-
By my count there be at least 12 cuts announced this morning to get down to the 85 roster limit (plus non-counters).
It would be 14 needed however Oliveira and Brady are on the injured veterans list it.
The 4 below should be included as it looks like none of them showed up to rookie camp:
WR 72 Braxton Burmeister
DT 92 Kenneth Randall
DB 13 James Campbell
DB 46 Montrae Braswell
DE 52 Ali Fayad and OL 69 Kendall Randolph might get cut if their injuries are considered to be long term.

I thought they said when Strev signed he got promo money. Could go back 150 pages lol.
11) Chris Streveler, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (A)
Hard money: $120,000
Maximum value: $174,000The fan favourite returned to Bomberland this off-season following a four-year stint in the NFL. He received a $36,200 signing bonus from Winnipeg and can collect $70,000 in base salary, $13,800 in housing money, and $3,000 each time he plays more than half of the team’s offensive snaps in a regular season game
11 minutes ago, GCJenks said:The Bombers don’t pay players to attend businesses, businesses pay for that. I know from having given Milt envelopes of cash back in the day.
Milt was the exception. At one business I was at we had 3 or 4 players at an autograph signing and only Milt was given the envelope of cash.
