Not sure if this is the right idea, but independent source compiling "proper" (???) 1st and 2nd Team All Star selections:

the only reason the all-stars matter is because of contract bonuses. It's completely unacceptable for the league to have allowed this to happen. If this was the first time that a situation like this had come up, that would be one thing, but the league is seemingly always tripping over themselves.

Oh CFL........ Madani is going to have a field day with this. I love that we're a little boutique league, but jeeze....**** like this.......

I do worry a little (anxiety is fun!) about the Stamps kinda going on the same run we did in '19, when we had a giant chip on our shoulders about perceived snubs at the league award level. But I maintain faith in the fact that we're just that much better than every other team in the league that, as long as we play as well as we are capable of, we'll beat anyone and everyone.

I voted for Nichols all 3x I was allowed, and then I see the Bombers sharing the results on their SMs, and I'm like "?????" ******* people......

fans definitely had a say - you could vote up to 3 times, which I did. The Bombers had been sharing the results every few days and for some reason Winston Rose was the leading choice for DB and I just could not understand if the fans even watch the games...

it is absolutely 100% NOT worth paying those prices to stay in ******* REGINA....like the worst parts of Winnipeg in one small city. Giant No-*******-Thank-You. It's the exact reason we're making the West Final our big weekend, and just throwing a massive GC party at our house, with our usual GC party crew from Wpg flying in to AB for that. **** that shithole province and especially Regina and paying that much to stay there.

Imagine paying 250-300/night for a room at a Best Western in Regina......Christ almighty, that ******* town.

those East nom's say more about how bad that division is than anything, honestly.......

I didn't even look at the east, but the West just smacks of name recognition votes. I mean, both Bighill and Rose, for us.......love those guys.......not sure they were all stars this year.

Schoen "Top Performer" for October - 5 TDs in 3 games..... That'll do it, alright.

interesting tidbit from Arash on CKRM:

cough....

nah man...it's not coaching that made that OL bad. It's the talent, or lack thereof. O'Day built an AWFUL team and Dickie completely lost control of the room. They're the ones who need to go, and maybe even the President for putting JOD in charge....

I did NOT draft well.... Helle, Ehlers, Wheeler, Pionk, PLD, and Morrissey.....

man that just looks so good on them.... the Riders imploding as an organization is second only to the Bombers being the league's model franchise....

there was a tweet yesterday with a comment from Burke in Ottawa saying that he'd been in discussions with Mauldin's agent and that they felt they had a really good chance to get him back next year, but that he (Mauldin) wanted to hear their vision for the future and know that they were committed to winning...

absolutely possible. I mean, even if we believed that O'Day was going to do everything right (no precedent for that) you can't make that team serviceable in one off-season. That OL needs to be completely overhauled, they need a QB that doesn't suck (and neither Faj nor perma-buggered-shoulder BLM is the answer) and they need to dump poor-attitude garbage in favour of good people who can also play football. They're not AS far off on D, but that O.......pewwwww.

Can't wait to see the continuation of the dumpster fire next year...

*shrugs*

it's my fault for taking him in my fantasy draft......sigh.

Gittens being underrated by many, and the fact that he played a full season should give him the win, IMO. But, also, **** Rourke, if for no other reason than the media slobbering all over him.
