    For sure it was. Especially considering he did it twice.  Doesn’t change the respect I have for his natural talent though. 

    I had dinner with Milt a few years (a friend won a charity auction) and he said he roomed with Blink for their first trip to Montreal together.

    He said he didnt see Charlie from the time they checked in until they were at the stadium the next day. 

    Blink went on to lead the team in rushing and receiving that night so Milt said he decided not to confront the issue and just let Blink be Blink.

    The question is would the Bombers had won more cups in the early 2000s if they had team leaders that inforced the FIFO attitude? Was Blink the problem or lack of leaders the problem?

    Looks that way.  Have you seen the amount of ads on that page lately?  They also decided to do another article on Boomer Esiason a couple days ago (their 2nd this month) on his comments from 2021.  I would say they are very desperate right now for both content and clicks.

    I find these guys to be a good source of news.

    They just report player transactions so no filler pieces or opinion articles:

    love me some big Stan but I think the very first piece of the turnaround was the 2013 Alex Hall for Neufeld trade.

    Hall put up seven sacks for the Roughriders in nineteen games.  In return, we got a Canadian OL starter for a decade.

    I think that was Walters' first trade.  Nice debut.

    Not everyone liked the trade at first. Hall won a Grey Cup and Neufeld was injured a fair bit at the start of his time with the Bombers.

    I remember Paul Wiecek saying the Riders the won the trade then he blocks me on twitter when I questioned his accessment. (I might have also questioned his sanity).

    That was his brother(?) Ranthony. This is Raleigh Texada. With those names they must be bothers right? 

    Ranthony signed with the Bombers a couple of times. He was signed in 2020 but when the season was cancelled he opted out of his contract. He re-signed in 2021 but was cut in camp.

    Raleigh was on the Bomber practice roster before.
