If Wolidarski keeps showing well in practice (as per the Twitters earlier this week...) that can't be good for AR's prospects.....

Always thought the guy was super overrated, but that's just me. I have a natural aversion to super bible-thumping people...

While he didn't go into details (obviously), it was interesting that Bauming had tweeted earlier this week that the Bombers were doing some interesting and creative things on offense during practice this week. Wonder if that has to do with Flanders packages, maybe...

https://www.cfl.ca/2017/08/02/cfl-announces-rule-change-limit-video-review/ TORONTO — Coaches will be able to challenge only one play per game under changes to the video review system approved Tuesday night by the Canadian Football League, the CFL announced Wednesday. “We have a super game. Our elite athletes are treating us this year to incredible plays, close contests and even miracle comebacks. Scoring is up, penalties are down, and games are shorter. The last thing we want to have in place is an artificial impediment to our fans’ enjoyment of it all,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. ”Video review, unfortunately, has become just that. It was put in place to fix egregious and indisputable mistakes that could affect the outcome of a game. It’s not being used that way now. Too many challenges and reviews are interrupting the game. Coaches, understandably since they are under pressure to win, have been using it to try to gain an advantage. Fans have been very clear with me that they want a change. We are delivering that change.” The change is effective immediately. Prior to this change, each team had two challenges per game, and a third challenge was earned if a coach was successful with their first two challenges. Now they will only get one challenge for the entire game. They will still need to have a timeout to initiate a challenge. And if their challenge is not successful, they will still lose a timeout. Ambrosie ordered an evaluation of the process after his latest visits to CFL stadiums this past weekend. The resulting proposal, to restrict coaches’ challenges to one a game, was approved last evening in a series of calls with the league’s Competition Committee, team presidents and lead Governors. “We at the CFL want our players to know we want the focus on the field and on their amazing talents,” Ambrosie said. “We want fans to know we are in the business of doing all we can to provide the very best experience for them.” A national conference call with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie and Senior Vice President of Football Glen Johnson will be held at 2:00pm ET on Wednesday.

Legendary when we were going to school....

and these are just the most likely ones!

....It's where he's from....he lives in Ottawa and has retired into a business life.

"Athleticism"

*Bilukidi retired....in Ottawa.....

Rocky's 3rd position early in his rookie year....that's tough for anyone...

....in this vein, apparently Geoff Gray is having a great camp with the Pack....good for him.

For sure they would have reached out to him, but probably didn't feel the need to overpay based on our current set up...which is fine.

I was a diehard FreeP reader... Hardcore. And now..... Just nothing. Tait was by far my favourite writer, and after he left... And Lawless.... I just really didn't have any reason to stay.

Just a heads up, according to Tait's daily, Bruce Johnson still has another week before he's off the 6 Week and they likely won't activate him until then...

Mo and Bruce Johnson back, but Heath out.....some return, some leave.....tis a brutal game.

that might be tough as he looks to be injured, as well...

Duron Carter mouthed off to Marcus Ball..... Basically saying he's a big deal because his dad was famous. When he beat Ball to a ball.... He says "What did YOUR dad do????!!!"

Brutal trash talk to Marcus Ball, then.... That catch....

Hope the Argos really run up the score. Just rip em a new *******...

I'm not really one to ***** about replays but holy Christ with the challenges... This game has slowed to a crawl with non stop challenges. This has got to change....

That's the one I heard about... He walked up like he was gonna kick right footed and ended up kicking to the other side with his left, and totally fooled the other team. Man I'd live to have seen that...

Lowell Ulrich or Farhan Lalji?

Is that the one where he kicked it and recovered it himself? I have heard this story from my aunt, but was too young to remember it myself....

awesome -- I loved that MOS took a not-so-thinly-veiled shot at the people leaving early last night. Kudos to everyone who stayed. It's the CFL for f*ck sakes.....anything can, and has, happen(ed)...

Hope Logan gets lit up $$$$ by the league for that one...
