thank you, sir...... *edit* .......after checking them out. It just seems weird. I have the EastMan one because it's where I'm from, and I might get a Parkland/WestMan one to rep my time in those areas, but I dunno....seeing all the Alberta cities/towns with a big Bombers logo overlapping. Just seems super weird, because all of those places are diehard Stamps/Esks/Riders.....

I honestly thought the plate was a joke when I first saw it a couple weeks ago. I mean, who didn't recognize that "B0000000" looks like "BOOOOO"?? Cripes. But hopefully it gets ignored for the most part...

As we should be well into TC by now, here's some good TC stories from our pal Tait.... https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/05/31/column-memories-training-camps-past/

At least find a way to keep those very different groups away form each other...

I had no idea Broadbeck jumped from the Sun to the FreeP. That explains a lot...

I was gonna say, if Broadbeck of all people is on the sane side of things, you know it's serious....

....if there's a God....

.....basically they want to play exhibition games against CFL teams in the States, which is insane, and Naylor basically laughed at it. I'm not sure what exactly we have to gain from any of it except money, if they're going to pony up a whole bunch. Those guys want in on our TV exposure for their players, I think...

Larry Arugala with the leg........

Okay, now c'mon...that's just funny. Like, classic-era Simpsons funny......

Yeah, my first thought was that 41 cases isn't that bad....but we all know how quickly this thing can spread and get out of control again.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/cfl-owners-not-unanimous-playing-shortened-2020-season/ In an interview Thursday with an Edmonton radio station, CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie explained that his latest focus will be determining a “go-no go date” on a 2020 CFL season. Multiple sources have told Sportsnet, however, that there are some franchises in the league unsure at the moment on whether or not to proceed with playing games at all this year. Those sources say there are at least two privately-run teams that have expressed reservations about going forward with a reduced schedule this fall under the present circumstances. Ambrosie said last week the league was exploring plans of potentially beginning a modified run of games beginning in September. The belief is that the CFL’s community-run franchises – in Saskatchewan, Edmonton and Winnipeg – are on-board with getting some kind of football in to help with their bottom line. Those three organizations do not have the benefit of a single owner who can write cheques to cover financial losses. On the other hand, Montreal, B.C., Calgary, Ottawa, Hamilton and Toronto are privately-run franchises. Ambrosie’s latest comments came on 630 CHED, where he told host Morley Scott that he has been asked by presidents and owners of the CFL franchises to “really focus” on when the league’s drop-dead date on this season would be. “I have been challenged to come back to the governors with a recommendation on our ‘go-no go’ date,” Ambrosie told Scott on Thursday. As Sportsnet first reported last week, the CFL created a return to play committee – which includes doctors, immunologists and other specialists – and they have presented a model featuring two hub cities for the league’s nine teams to be based out of. The system unveiled by the committee was thorough from a health and wellness standpoint, complete with a comprehensive series of testing protocols and detail on cleaning and sanitation. While that may be the best way to proceed medically, team and league sources do not believe this format is economically viable. To help on the financial side, the league continues to lobby the federal government for up to $150 million in funding. Things had been relatively quiet between the CFL and Ottawa since May 11, but over the last two days there was contact with two departments that had been previously untapped. There was communication on the league’s behalf with Aneil Jaswal, a senior policy advisor to the Minister of Finance, both Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday, there was also communication on the CFL’s behalf with Kyle Nicholson, a senior policy advisor for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and with Olga Radchenko, a policy advisor for IRCC. There have been five Members of Parliament known to have had contact with the CFL, and in most cases specifically with Ambrosie. There has also been communication on the league’s behalf with at least two members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet: on May 11 with Minister of Justice David Lametti, and on April 6 with Catherine McKenna, the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities.

thank you for finding this...I'd seen the graph on Twitter earlier in the day, but couldn't find it when I wanted to post it in this thread.

Jason Kenney with the second lowest approval rating right now.........that's the guy you want to hitch your wagon to, to prove your intelligence? BTW, Pallister in dead last among provinces with "significant populations".....

Crockett (5-11, 190, Georgia Southern, December 11, 1993 in Rock Hill, SC) played his collegiate football at Georgia Southern, appearing in 47 games with 18 starts. He tallied 32 receptions for 535 yards and three touchdowns. Crockett signed as an undrafted free agent with Green Bay in May of 2017, however was released following training camp. He has also spent time with Jacksonville, Houston, Arizona and Washington. Grant (5-11, 200, Ohio State, November 30, 1992 in Akron, OH) most recently spent time with the DC Defenders of the XFL, after playing with Atlanta in the AAF in 2019. Grant was originally selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth round, 121st overall, in the 2015 NFL Draft, playing in eight games with the Steelers as a rookie. Grant also participated in training camps and/or spent time on the practice rosters of Buffalo (2016), New York Giants (2016), Jacksonville (2017) and Chicago (2018). He played four seasons at Ohio State, starting his final two and recording nine interceptions during his time there, including five his senior year

he'd been SO GOOD until now, too.... following the orders of doctors and scientists. And then he goes and shows his true colours. Man was I pissed off when I read that...

Only about 8 (according to Tait) players that are in the city full time. You won't see anyone coming in from out of province, and certainly not from out of country...

ahhhhhh you're one of THOSE types....... I get you. My cousin is part of a local sketch comedy troupe and they're AWESOME but I just do not understand their love of KITH. It's just too weird for me...

also, as a side note, Shuster's daughter, Rosie, would go on to be a founding writer of SNL (and one-time wife of Lorne Michaels), so she had the chops as well...

I don't advocate for the ban hammer often, but c'mon.......this guy just made the list.

Possibly the funniest comedy team we ever produced. Absolutely LOVED those guys. My grandfather and I bonded over our love of those guys. I mean, they were regulars on Sullivan, for goodness sake. Those guys were OUTSTANDING......oh, and Dave Broadfoot, too.

Canada produces a lotta funny stuff!!

I would absolutely advocate for bringing the world to a halt (as we've done) every time there's a disease that spreads like this one.... all preventable deaths MUST be prevented.
