hey @Mark H.or someone....could we get this locked up? Probably for the best.

I suspect he's inundated with people asking "can people come watch???" over and over and over.....

Stanley Bryant stretched.....like really far...... I'm curious what you'd like him to say about the stretching and jogging that was done today..?

has been asked and answered that Harris had an appointment and needed to leave early. There is no injury scare......

Guys.....the practices have all been conditioning so far. There is little to nothing to report. Maybe relax on the "lack of updates".

a good reminder....

Listen, I laughed at the quote because it's super douchey and sounds like a guy that nobody wanted trying to make it seem like he left on his own terms...... But I never ever look down on these guys for wanting to maximize the money. This is a sport where you can break your neck in a heartbeat and never work again. And on top of that, it's a full time, 12 months a year job keeping in shape to play all summer.

I've taken on a different anxiety, personally. Now that we have the cup, I'm terrified of ever giving it up. I've had two years of being mouthy about being the Champs and I don't ever wanna do anything else.

Again, as mentioned, found a job outside of football and didn't want to leave that. Unfortunate side effect of the pandemic, but it happens. They'll find another Fatboi Thomas replacement eventually...

Baby steps. See where guys are at, physically, and then go from there. It's a longer TC than normal, so they can slowly work guys in.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!! :D

CFLPA reax to achilles-gate: The Canadian Football League Players’ Association has issued the following memo to its membership league-wide. It was obtained by 3DownNation on Friday afternoon. Gentlemen, Despite the CFL’s assurances that player health and safety is a high priority for the league and teams, we have confirmed six members experienced Achilles Tendon injuries yesterday (four of six occurring within six minutes on one team). This clearly contradicts those assurances. The reports we have received regarding the circumstances cause us great concern that the coaching staff were not respecting the protocols in place for the first week of player isolation. We will continue to seek answers and demand more rigorous oversight on proper player safety standards. We strongly recommend all members be personally proactive with their health and safety and understand that you can and should speak out when you feel your health and safety is being put at risk. Immediately contact your player reps and Association if you feel your health and safety is being compromised. The CFLPA will immediately act on your concerns. We continue to place the health and safety of our members at the forefront and we will ensure the CFL does the same. Your CFLPA Four of the players who suffered torn Achilles tendons on Thursday were members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders — running back Jonathan Femi-Cole, defensive end Freddie Bishop III, linebacker Larry Dean, and defensive back Nelson Lokombo. Bishop III and Dean were projected starters, while Lokombo was the No. 2 overall selection in the 2021 CFL Draft. The identity of the remaining two players remains unknown.

^^ Laughed hard out loud just now....

Knock on wood, but honestly we've done a lot better than most teams, when it comes to retirements, injuries, etc....

we're seeing into the future, I guess....... a press release dated tomorrow: WINNIPEG, MB., July 9, 2021 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the following roster transactions: Added to roster: American defensive back David Rivers (6-0, 185, Youngstown, July 23, 1994) American defensive back Hakeem Bailey (6-0, 190, West Virginia, March 29, 1997) American linebacker Khaylan Kearse-Thomas (6-1, 225, Arizona State, February 7, 1997) Released from roster: American defensive lineman Royce LaFrance Transferred to retired list: American defensive end Patrick Choujda Transferred to suspended list: National defensive lineman Connor Griffiths American defensive back Dexter McDougle American linebacker Mason Moe American receiver MeKale McKay American running back James Williams American running back Josh Caldwell American defensive end Vontarrius Dora American defensive back Marwin Evans American receiver Malcolm Lewis

It's not as much about the TV audience IN Toronto (though I understand it's apparently much larger than you'd think), but moreso about the fact that the TV networks are based in Toronto. In order for the league to maintain legitimacy, it needs a franchise in Canada's largest city......or so the argument goes.

I agree in theory, with the concern that our national TV deal could go kaput without a franchise in Toronto. If we were able to maintain the TV deal without them, then GTFO and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I am so embarrassed that AB doesn't have the card/app that you guys do, and am hopeful there will be a way to grant me access to IGF at the end of August. I'm fully vaccinated and have a piece of paper from the AB Gov, but we don't have the QR code thing. I know the federal card is coming eventually, but might not be till fall/winter....

MBT isn't better than Arbuckle or Nichols. Period.
