Read some stuff last night suggesting that Buffalo is gearing up for a run at Helle that would involve the #4 and Devon Levi... Curious to see what develops.

It's moments like these I need more than just a Like reaction button...

Re: Dru salary. Keep in mind Ottawa ate a large chunk of the salary in the offseason bonus ($131k) so that makes him a lot more palatable for this season anyhow. There's part of the salary plus some bonuses (incl about 15k in appearance fees) that make up the rest of the $321k apparently...

It's interesting to hear all the talk (here only) about Zach retiring when he's had two really good games to start the year and (so far - limited action) looks far from retirement. What happens if Zach keeps it up and has a career year?

MBT is certifiably insane, but he's not the worst idea, if Dinwiddie has faith in him to run his offense....

I guess we needed a QB be sure we only had 3. So TE goes PR for now. Perkins still short yardage and 3QB.

ZC better not be doing shorts... So what role does Dru serve at the moment, who's getting demoted, and why? Does TE go to PR for now?

Relatively steep price. Not sure what role he serves unless Zach is hurt... But either way I'm glad he's back. Wish he'd never left.

I mean, the GM is Stan Bowman.... There's some history of disreputable behaviour there......

It's 2026 and we don't use cultures as nicknames for our entertainment. Jesus Christ Almighty...

Brrrrrradyyyyy Ooooooo.....

So apparently Friedman says the Jets have tried to keep it quiet but there's now "noise" surrounding some kind of deal involving Hellebuyck and Werenski...

Good riddance to bad rubbish... If all of those American assholes want to go play together down there someplace, have at it.

When th opponent knows you have no receivers, they're going to I specifically take away the run game. Definitely not Bucks fault at all. That's a brutal hand to be dealt for any team/coach...

I can not believe how poorly in doing in this, this year... Good gravy.

Any fan that doesn't come to Edmonton games because they want to call them Eskimos is not a fan I want to be around... I 100% agree that spring football doesn't work for casual fans. It's meant to be a summertime sport.

He had NOTHING to work with... Definitely not on Rourke.

There's gotta be something going on that this many defenses... Not just ours... Look like **** to start the year.

He understands it just fine... It's pure and simple a Canadiana thing. "I will not give a Canadian job to an American"... It's that, and nothing more or less. I always want us to win, and do everything we can't I win, but I respect the Canadiana always... I respect where Osh is coming from.

In a game where you know your O is gonna have issues because they're short staffed... Inexcusable for the D to not show up...

****... Jimmy Burrows died?? Greatest sitcom director of all time. Probably better than Norman Lear. He had a golden touch and, you could make the case, was more responsible for Must See TV Thursdays than anyone. Absolutely brutal, but he was definitely getting up there.

Thanks for this... Had to adjust my fantasy team!

CBC has been leaning more and more into amateur sports for nearly 30 years... This is a natural progression.

It's really the only way to keep my mental health in check...

It's really not that hot of a take guys... All US markets have an advantage. Financially, and anonymity for players. They will always attract the best players. Gary Lawless wrote a really great piece about it some years ago... Canadian teams (and Winnipeg most especially) will always have the deck stacked against them because the best players, by and large, do not want to be here.... Or at least would PREFER to play anywhere else. If I remember right, Lawless said something along the lines of "...the Jets may get lucky and win one once in our collective lifetimes, but it will always be a near impossibility..." Whereas places like California and Florida (not to mention places like Carolina) where nobody cares about hockey, will always attract the best players. The weather, the taxes, and the complete anonymity will always be most attractive to players. It's just logical... We don't have to like it, but it makes all the sense in the world.
