We needed depth on teams cover units so this is definitely good. Looking forward to Walters presser.

Love that we got Kornelson. The profile Tait wrote makes him seem like the ultimate Mafia guy. Just a super nice kid who wants to do things the right way. It nothing else he's gonna fit in really well.

This guy reeks of a ST demon...

Fwiw....

Unless they're just taking potential ST talent and not even caring about D/O starters....

26 years old... 7 years of post secondary.... Hmmm.

That would be pretty funny....

I don't know that Barker is really a guy they need on this broadcast.... He's 100 years old and I don't know that his experience is all that valuable.

Seems like the Riders reached at 3... You love to see it.

really feel like our secondary is underrated by a lot around the league. Yeah, our offense is going to be awesome, but that secondary has the potential to be something special. Also really interested to see if JJ's new off-season regime is going to result in more games played this year. If he and WJ5 can play most, if not all, games this year, that's going to be massive.

s'posin' we might need a 2023 Training Camp/Pre-Season thread soon.....

thanks to @DTonOB for putting in the work on this:

Curious why the CFL is getting rid of that number....

Even if Mike wants to play the Debbie Downer card (you really should leave that up to the pros, bro...) I'm choosing to be excited about the draft tonight. If nothing else, it means we're that much closer to camp starting and it gives us something legitimate to talk about tonight, and for the next week. Next Weds is Rookie Camp and next Sunday is Main Camp. We're almost there!!

a friend of mine in HS had a copy of a generic Greatest Hits album of Lightfoot's, and I remember it was Rainy Day People that first hooked me. As I got older, and into broadcasting and then music programming, I really understood the genius of his works. Cochrane once described Lightfoot as "akin to one of the Group Of 7 painters..." and that's a really great way to describe his cultural impact. Lightfoot, Tyson, Connors....... few wrote about various aspects of Canada better.

First election sign that I've seen so far in my tiny little UCP stronghold.... And it's NDP! (if I was betting, in this town, I'd say it's teachers or some other union member) Hoping this is a positive sign that things are gonna go Progressive in this province at the end of the month...

Edit... Wrong thread.

the team that likely appreciates Canadian Content more than any other has been in the last 3 GC games, won 2 out of 3, and was a fluke away from winning 3 in a row. That should be the template for every team in the league. CanCon matters....

wow.... that is absolutely brutal. Thank goodness for The Canadian Mafia (aka The Trinity)....

What other off-season is there to go all in for 23/24 other than this one?

the Stanley Cup tournament is officially WIDE OPEN...... insane. And congrats to PaMo...have always loved that guy and was sad when he left Winnipeg. He's an absolute beauty.
