wasn't quite sure where to put this, but I think this thread will do. Someone on 3DN recently said that the Argos have the best NI talent in the league. So our man Tait did a bit of a deeper dive into the Bombers starting NIs and how they stack up against the rest of the league........

Honestly thought Toronto would be higher, and don't understand why Sask is that high.... but I don't really understand betting/odds either, so.....ya.

PauMau isn't going anywhere, nor should he be. Until you have a FA Barry Trotz, you can sit tight.

It's one game... This is still a very good team. Flush it and beat the Leafs.

Lots of places have facilities. One place likes taking risks with the health of people...

AB loves being a Guinea pig. If there's money in it, the government will strong arm AHS into making it happen....

I got way too caught up in fan theories and was waiting for more big picture stuff....Mephisto..XMen...at least give me a Dr Strange cameo....?? We get a Skrull and that's about it. Sigh. Ohhh welll. Hopefully Winter Soldier is good...that's the one I was most looking forward to anyhow.

Anybody been watching Wanda Vision? Man I expected so much more from that finale, based on the lead up episodes...

Yes, Mr Kenney!!

Canada Day parties like this country hasn't seen since VE Day.......

first things first...... the entire roster is staying at the Sutter Ranch to chore and calve for the rest of the season.....

THIS....is a CFL telecast, right here....

D-Sutts is a good coach, but has a short shelf life. His welcome wears out very quickly. But....can he take a team with some talent and get more out of them fast? Likely. As a Jets and Oilers fan.....this sucks.

that crew of Schultz, Dunigan and Climie with Randorf on the TSN panel will always be THE one for me. Absolutely love those guys together. Heartbreaking that he's gone this soon. Far, far too young...

Honestly more than life in general, just give me some f***ing CFL......

I was thinking about you today when they were announcing the fast tracking... Figured you'd be up soon. It honestly doesn't matter what vaccine you get. Just take what's offered and get er done.

That was my big take away from all of this.... As long as numbers stay consistently low, I can see them allowing fans again. Especially in AB where they just love being a lab rat for this sorta thing...

So I'm not sure where exactly MB is at with their vaccine rollout, but AB announced this afternoon that, by delaying second doses, every adult will be vaccinated by the end of June. They are going to be accepting the Astra Zeneca vaccine and giving it to people under 65 starting Wednesday next week. They'll be doing 50-64 year olds over the next month or so. Things really getting going now!

similarly......... I'm a massive fishing fanatic, and there's a really great Facebook Live "Podcast" called The Casting Deck that a group of Winnipeg guys do every week. It's not the GREATEST thing of all time, but it's pretty good, if anyone else is into that sorta thing....

Love this... I'm gonna tune in for sure.

also worth mentioning, while American players are here...they're paying Canadian taxes.

the gist was, there was an emergency situation where Wheeler had to use a 55 stick, and really liked it and he's stuck with it ever since...

I have virtually the entire 2019 season on my PVR and watch fairly regularly. There are many, many examples of Nichols throwing deep. I absolutely do not buy that he was ever "scared" of doing that. The offense was designed with a lot of check-downs. Part of that is Andrew Harris, part of it is just Lapo. But it's absolutely untrue that Nichols couldn't or wouldn't go deep, and I don't think that guy is scared of anything...he took a pounding.

Accuracy was not a problem for Nichols. Lack of arm strength, also, was greatly exaggerated. Nichols biggest flaw was being injury prone...

something to keep an eye on: The Edmonton Oilers have sent a 50 page document to Alberta Health Services, outlining their request to have ~15% fan attendance toward the end of the regular season, and if it goes well, to have that increased for playoffs. Would act as a sort of Canary In The Coal Mine for the CFL.....Again, something to keep an eye on.....
