the Bombers posted a pic on their social media of Adams getting his vaccine, so he'd be ready to go....encouraging fans to do likewise. Don't think DA is done yet. Neufeld has been quoted in recent Tait pieces as being really fired up and ready to go, so don't think he's calling it just yet. What will be interesting of course, is how many guys THINK they're ready to go, but when they actually get into 2-A-Day's, realize that they just don't have the legs anymore....

Good stuff here...this suggests no limit on the number of fully vaxxed in attendance....

But catching up very quickly. We're vaccinating at a much higher rate, and will catch them in a few weeks I believe. There's a guy on Twitter who tracks this stuff and tweets out various data/charts/graphs every day....

Bauming being cagey on Twitter, saying "there's more coming..." which may indicate some Bombers that haven't announced yet. Very curious to see....

I'm not one for sports wagering... I absolutely do not understand the random numbers that Hustler is always talking about...... All I know is the league and its member clubs are expected to net 15-20 million from this, with each club getting around 2 million.... Based on estimates. Just what I've read on Twitter via CFL News and other feeds...

That is my understanding of the situation. But the gambling houses make so much ******* money... They pay each of the leagues a pile of money and it's still only a fraction of what they're taking in. It's really quite the racket...

So the companies that will now legally be able to accept bets in Canada, are going to pay the CFL a LOT (15-20 million is an estimate) to allow betting on their games. Each team is expected to net around 2 million bucks from this endeavour.

couple things - that single game betting bill that's in the senate right now is about to pass in overwhelming fashion. Huge news for the CFL. Also, re: Bombers roster:

further....some good stuff on what to expect with this year's offence, via Our Man Tait...... https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/06/22/believe-physical-physical-team-league/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

saw something on Twitter last night...sounds like Yoshi is back in town already. Was out playing basketball yesterday evening, apparently. *cues up The Boys Are Back In Town* also, just for funzies......17to85 found this the other day. It's worth a watch:

extremely small price to pay....good on all of you for taking the first vaccine available. It's the right thing to do.

Riders already wafer-thin OL takes another hit with the retirement of Braden Schram today.......also lose DL Chad Geter to retirement.

WINNIPEG, MB., June 21, 2021 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today the addition of Darrell Patterson to the 2021 coaching staff as the new defensive line coach. A Blue Bombers alumnus, Patterson played for the club from 1984-87 and was a member of the 1984 Grey Cup championship team. He brings extensive coaching experience to the Bombers staff, having most recently served as an assistant coach/defensive analyst with TCU from 2018-2020 following a long run with the Rice Owls from 2007-17. Patterson worked with the Rice linebackers for eight years and in his last six years with the program was also the assistant head coach. In addition, he spent seven years as the Rice special-teams coordinator and four as the run-game coordinator. With his connections to Canada, Patterson led the school’s recruiting efforts in this country and helped Rice land eight Canadians over a nine-year span, including long-time NFL tight end Luke Wilson and defensive end Christian Covington as well as offensive linemen Scott Mitchell and Peter Godber. Prior to his days at Rice, Patterson worked at Stanford University (2005-07), Southern Methodist (2003-04), Baylor (2002), Arkansas State (2001), Kentucky (1997-00), Temple (1995-96), Akron (1992-94). He began his coaching career as an intern with the B.C. Lions in 1991. A standout linebacker at TCU during his playing days from 1979-82, Patterson is a member of the school’s Hall of Fame and remains the school’s all-time leader in tackles. He was selected by the New York Giants in the sixth round, 151st overall, of the 1983 NFL Draft and first made his way north to Winnipeg and the Blue Bombers in 1984. He would suit up for 49 regular-season games with the Bombers from 1984-87 before moving on to the Ottawa Rough Riders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. His best season statistically came in 1987, when he finished with eight sacks, behind only Blue Bomber hall of famers Tyrone Jones and Mike Gray.

Something like 40% vaccine uptake in Nevada... Just an absolute filthy petri dish of a place to be. It's a wonder more haven't been sick...

I've got a great father, but am a child of divorce so I'm fortunate to have an incredible step father as well as some uncles who were kind enough to be a great influence while I was growing up. Happy Father's Day to all the dads on this site!

I will say this: There's a sadistic part of me that's happy we're all arguing with TBurg about the roster again... Must mean CFL football is in the air!

We'll never be done with Covid... But we can learn to live with it as long as people get vaccinated.

See, I think the UK thing might not necessarily happen because of the difference in population density. UK is the entire population of Canada in a space the size of Alberta. I'm not saying that what Alberta is doing right....I'm not saying the UK situation ISN'T going to happen here....I'm just saying that it's not for sure, and there's absolutely legitimate reasons why it might not happen here.

Medlock has a new day job that he doesn't want to leave....can't blame the guy.

there's no question that there's a race between vaccinations and the Delta variant, but I do believe that between AB's population density and how quickly they're getting vaccines into arms, we're at least better positioned against a potential 4th wave. I'm still confident, just based on all the reading I've done.

Keep in mind, Alberta is also WAY ahead of you guys in terms of bending the current curve. We have around 150 cases/day with a population about 4x that of Manitoba. Down to about 250 hospital // 50 ICU. And our vaccines are flowing pretty good. So while agree that a slow and steady approach would be better, this province is in a much better position to throw open the doors than most others...

so who's out there as a vet that could be brought in? And QUALITY vet...not just someone with experience for experience sake.........

Yeah we're completely and totally ******. We did fire open the doors to all second doses today, so that's something. As long as it's been 4 weeks since your first shot and 8 weeks since OXAZ, then you can get your second dose as of today in AB......

it's been a year and a half! Of course we want to ***** about Riders fans!!!!!
