    couple of things... 

    -I think it's getting harder and harder to convince players to come north... they're going to wait for NFL PR spots or maybe even the USFL/XFL league.... so it's tougher finding new talent to bring in

    -Matthew Schiltz is a poor man's Dakota Prukop......and I don't particularly care for Dakota Prukop. 

    On the other hand, there will be 8 less USFL, XFL teams in 2024.

    Trevor Harris is their safety net, if they strike out signing Brown, who else are they going to bring in, Dane Evans?  To try and build a team around Dolegala or Fine would just end up the same as Cornelius.

    So, Harris has a 250k roster bonus due on Feb 1st however free agency doesnt start until Feb 13th.

    If the Bombers know they arent going to sign Brown they might be wise to trade his rights before free agency.

    Would Riders want to trade for him after Mace just proclaimed Harris is a Hall of Famer?

    So apparently Buck was in Regina and left on Saturday. Mace's 2nd interview happened and was scheduled Monday. Buck stated he withdrew his name and one would have to assume it was Saturday before he left. I think Buck is the type of guy who would do it in person. Something happened on that visit that changed Buck's mind and it wasn't the imminent hiring of Mace because he had not even had his 2nd interview yet. My bet is that O'Day told him that Harris would be his man and Buck said thanks but no thanks, and rightfully so. After that is was straight spin about how Mace was the guy all along through the process. 

    Mace basically got Harris forced on him and wanted the job so bad he is willing to harpoon his, and the teams best chances of success by properly rebuilding around a young QB. Unfortunate for the Riders and the Rider fan base that JOD can't help but #%$* their team over even as a new coach is hired. Buck had the integrity to stay committed to his plan for success or pass on it. Harris 38 coming off a major injury and has been completely uncomfortable in the pocket for a few years now. Chances are he doesn't make it to the halfway point of next season.

    Your timeline is incorrect according to 3Down:

    With Milanovich not a fit and out of the process, the decision came down to two men, Mace and Buck Pierce. The former Argonauts defensive coordinator had flight issues for his final, in-person interview. He landed around 6 p.m. local time on Sunday night, met with O’Day late into the night and flew back to Toronto first thing in the morning. Pierce touched down in Regina around 2 p.m. on Monday, staying in the city for approximately 24 hours until leaving Tuesday afternoon.

    You can't bring him into camp with idea that you might replace him. No way you can pay Brown and Collaros and have them fight it out. 

    You need to make that decision now, and build the team around it. That's way too much money locked up in one position and neither will want that. 

    Has anyone mentioned that Collaros is guaranteed 250k in 2025?

    Also, Zach might be due an off-season payout in 2024.

    I think it was all covered. Zach should have either taken off or thrown it away and they kick the fg. 
    Terrible play call at any rate. Running the ball would have made the most sense. 

    O'Shea talked about how they didnt want their offence to be predictable and thats why they threw the ball.

    I agree though, in the last game of the season have Zach run with it.

    I wonder if these shows can do as close to a 22 episode season without breaks between January & June? Or if that is even the plan? The TV season now has a fall & winter break to stretch it from September to May anyway. Plus throw in unscheduled two or 3 week breaks dujring the season as well. Usually the longest break is after mid November to Thanksgiving in the US to the first week of January & then another long break in March. Then back at it to finish the season in May with the last 4 or 5 episodes. The actors should be well rested as they've been off since April. Some may even want to get paid. 

    This is from the article on Blue Bloods:

    Coming off a double Hollywood strike that reduced the sizes of the 2023-24 scripted seasons to 10-13 episodes each — with a number of CBS shows only doing 10 — the network is giving two of its top series that are coming to an end, Blue Bloods and Young Sheldon, a proper sendoff with expanded final seasons. As Deadline reported last week, the Big Bang Theory prequel’s seventh and final season will be comprised of 14 episodes.
