re: Bailey.... yes he took less to be here. Said he had a hard time imagining himself playing anywhere else. There was also a quote around that time where he said that playing for the Bombers this year would help increase his value next offseason. He would have a better chance of putting up "money" stats this year that would really help him get paid next year. So he's at least thinking about being a star (or at least having a much higher profile) somewhere else... and I certainly don't blame him. I'd love to have him as a Bomber forever, but if he wants to go get paid elsewhere, that's his right for sure.

he had a follow up tweet saying that he's really glad the CFL never went the way of being an official development league for the NFL, and I thought to myself "That's the most pro-CFL thing Dave Naylor has ever said..."

I swear most of the people who "hate" Proulx, do so because of his accent.

this is fun and worth your read....

if we find a way to get both Haba and Hansen into the DL rotation this week, watch the **** out....

Love Proulx.... English Canadians think he's dumb because of how he speaks, but I think he's actually a fantastic official. Would love to have a whiskey conversation with Osh about his favourite and least favourite officials....

I always hope for Frenchie Proulx for every game... I love that guy. Crooked hat and old school accent... just the absolute best.

do we know that it's OUR LDC game that he's calling? Could be AB or ON? in fact, since that Tweet came from Milton at the Hamilton Spectator, I'm betting it's the ON game....

Dave Foxcroft hangin' 'em up:

Re: Dauphin... Mr Mike's lounge is your best place and they also have a brand spanking new brewery in town. I'm not sure the status of TVs in there yet but that would be the first place I'd check. Mr Mike's BPs Smitty's (In that order, if the brewery doesn't have TVs yet) Also, not sure it's been mentioned yet but apparently Woogie not practicing (BOO in for him) and Gauthier hasn't practiced this week so Burtenshaw likely to get back on.

The New York Yankees.

what on earth is even going on here with this independent thread of craziness.......?

Dobson has one more year of ELC and Tui just signed a spankin' new 3 year deal late in this past off-season....

this is all I was hoping to see from him this week... just running around and testing out the foot. He'll be a bit yet, but hopefully in top shape for playoffs.

this is a really ******* weird turn in the Week Of LDC thread......

This will forever be my favourite meme. Few times I've ever laughed harder than when I first saw this.

he's BARELY a "Canadian" QB. He's about as Canadian as Ben Cahoon. That's the **** that pisses me off.

This season.... Tom Canada, Gavin Walls and Doug Brown doing everything they could and just getting zero help from the O. Glenn was hurt and the replacements were just awful.

amazing... I wish there was an archive with Bob Irving's call of that game. I'd love to listen to the second half... ha ha.

I know we've talked about this a bunch, but I'm not sure I realized that Collaros turned 35 on Sunday. For some reason I was thinking he was still like 32 or 33. So he'd be 37 if he makes it through his current contract... how old was Calvillo when he retired....about the same? It's definitely impressive to be a pro athlete excelling like he is right now, considering that age, and some of the hard miles he's got on him.

even if he just came back to play Teams and sub in a bit in the secondary for the back half of the season, that'd be outstanding. Is he still technically "ours" if he wants to come back to the CFL? nm - found it: The CFL’s NFL window dictate that Ford will need to sign back with the Blue Bombers if he returns to the CFL before February 2025, which is when his original rookie contract would have expired.
