Having Apple TV is about as close as ill ever get to purchasing an Apple product.

That guy is a perfect encapsulation of the Alberta populace....

So I just signed up for Apple TV to watch Ted Lasso.... Man oh man what a show. "Unrelenting positivity" is what I'd read about it, and it's so true. I defy anyone to watch this and not feel better about life after watching an ep. Not quite finished S1 yet, but so far so great! (and I really don't care for soccer, but it really doesn't even matter...)

Morrissey is the Jets best defenseman for sure... But Pionk is solid and probably the #2 guy for now. I'm a fan for sure. Hoping Heinola is The Man before long tho...

This is fair, but also a bit revisionist. At the time we all thought Trouba was an elite player in this league. But man, he signed that big money deal and just totally fell off in NY. Just crazy. Looking at it now, certainly Pionk seems like a much better value for the Jets..

It's the Osh Way....

6 mil seems steep right now, but I feel like he'll be worth more than that by the time the contract is done. To me, he's the second best/most important D after Morrissey....

The best one is (Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ veteran right tackle) Chris Van Zeyl, especially when it comes to pass pro." ....cough........

It's getting to be near impossible to live here....if my wife wasn't born and raised and committed to it, I swear.......

As they should. I think it's an incredibly entitled opinion to think we, as fans, somehow deserve this info. It's the players personal business... Their health. Nobody deserves that info.

Zero. The biggest reason the players signed the last CBA was because the owners agreed to let them play in the Olys again. Every player DESPERATELY wants to play in the Olys.

I like you, Intergalactic Superstar McAwesome........

If you know anything about me, you should know that I'm a huge fan of old, old wooden ships...

I'll fight forever that Joey Elliot coulda been something special with a better team around him.....

Our Man Tait had more on injuries, etc in his latest Quick Hits, which is always worth your click: https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/08/09/quick-hits-week-2-day-1/

2019 until he got hurt, might have been the best football he played as a Bomber....

I dunno...I was thoroughly entertained by "who's going to actually win this insane contest??" It wasn't well played football by any means, but it was entertaining from a certain viewpoint...

I think I'll go with Oliveira this time....but reserve the right to edit this post between now and Thursday...

how will they look in that win....that's the question.....

You gotta actually post the link, man..... ha ha ha. 1. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (3) Winnipeg rockets to the No. 1 spot after dominating the Tiger-Cats along the line of scrimmage just like they did in the 2019 Grey Cup. The defence held Hamilton to just six points, while Brady Oliveira rushed for 126 yards in his first career start in place of an injured Andrew Harris. 2. Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1) Hamilton started strong in Winnipeg with Jeremiah Masoli leading a game-opening 89-yard touchdown drive. The offence fizzled out after that as the unit failed to establish the run and turned the ball over twice with interceptions to Willie Jefferson and Jontrell Rocquemore. 3. Toronto Argonauts (8) The Argos leap up five spots after outperforming Calgary at McMahon Stadium in Week 1, which isn’t easy to do. They face another tough test this week when they travel to Winnipeg for a date with the Blue Bombers, but make no mistake — this team looked a lot better than most people predicted heading into the season 4. Saskatchewan Roughriders (5) The Green and White got out to a remarkable 31-0 lead in the second quarter against B.C. but failed to put the game away until A.C. Leonard picked off Nathan Rourke with less than a minute to play. Who are the real Riders: the dominant team that owned the first half or the passive bunch that slept through the second half? 5. Calgary Stampeders (2) That strange sound you’re hearing is the Stamps plummeting into the middle spot of our power rankings after coughing up a 20-12 fourth quarter lead to the new-look Argos. Bo Levi Mitchell tossed an uncharacteristic interception in the final minute of the game, while the defence allowed McLeod Bethel-Thompson to throw for 354 yards and two scores. 6. Montreal Alouettes (6) Vernon Adams Jr. and the Montreal Alouettes had a bye in Week 1, which means we’ve yet to see what exactly they’re going to bring to the table. It’s only fitting that they didn’t move up or down in our rankings as we wait for their 2021 season debut in Edmonton. 7. Edmonton Elks (4) The Elks held Ottawa to a measly 127 yards of total offence on Saturday and still found a way to lose at home. Trevor Harris threw three interceptions and failed to get the Elks into the end zone, which is wild considering Edmonton had 35:56 in time of possession. 8. B.C. Lions (7) It’s clear that Michael Reilly’s shoulder is worse than expected, which has spooked our contributors. He may have thrown for 203 yards and a touchdown against the Riders, but his passes lacked the zip and accuracy we’ve grown accustomed to seeing. Can the Lions still compete in the tough West Division with Canadian rookie Nathan Rourke at the helm? 9. Ottawa Redblacks (9) Is it fair for a 1-0 team to be ranked this low in the power rankings? Evidently our contributors think it is. The Redblacks upset Edmonton but managed just nine offensive points, 71 passing yards, and six first downs. Until this team can prove they can move the ball at least a little better, it appears they’ll stay in the cellar.

I suspect we'll know more about those injuries today. They'll release an official "Injury Report" sometime after practice...and prior to that, we'll see tweets from Bauming and Irving that will have some insight from practice itself.

Until his injury in 2019, he was the best QB in the league. He was outstanding. Dropping balls everywhere they needed to be, he was running, he was doing it all. His QB efficiency was off the charts. Then he gets pancaked from behind and, it would appear, he hasn't been the same since...

Bruce Cassidy (Boston), Peter DeBoer (Vegas), and Barry Trotz (Isles) will be assistants............roster projections should be fun. Gotta think Scheifele is a lock for Team Canada...
