sweep the leg

Yeah, sounds weird to me, but that's what they said. Who knows... Maata trade went through.

Minor football in Manitoba is really struggling for players. I'm involved with the Falcons, and they're struggling at every age except peewee. Even peewee only has good numbers b/c Transcona won't have a feam, so their players are coming over. Youth tackle football is dying in this province.

Heard the same on the morning show. Apparently the Pens made a better offer for Trouba, but the trade fell apart when Trouba's agent told Chevy he'd sit out the season if he didn't get traded where he wanted to go.

Frank Seravalli‏Verified account @frank_seravalli 35s35 seconds ago TRADE BAIT: GM Kevin Cheveldayoff says #nhljets have a lot of balls in the air. So what’s next? Belief is Jets offered Nikolaj Ehlers to #Canes for one of their right-shooting defencemen.

Great player, but I wouldn't want that contract on my team. The $ they're paying their top 3 d is crazy.

Kahun will be an NHLer with the Pens next year. Played all 82 games with the Hawks last year.

Yeah, was having flashbacks to the Hamilton game last year.

I loved the way Gray played. He was the reason for several Lion temper tantrums. He gave a Lion the rock bottom on our last possession. Imo, the OL was definitely the biggest positive in the game.

Nice fact checking, but it was only Ripper you proved wrong. I don't see that as a major feat...

Wasn't a big fan of the chicken dance. He should definitely tell Carter that he was a coward, but I thought he was lucky to not to take a taunting penalty for the dance. He took a bad penalty after the 2nd int, too. He played very well, but maybe needs to tone it down after the whistle. Maybe it was just excess adrenaline for game 1.

Jefferson vs Boyko seems like an ugly mismatch.

I don't see that. I'm not sold on Hecht, but the rest of the guys have proven themselves in the CFL. The only real concern I have is our interior ol against two very good defensive tackles for the Lions.

I don't think I've ever been more angry watching the Bombers than that game. I just about threw my remote through the tv when Dinwiddie threw that last pick. He had so much room to run for the 1st down...

I think Macho is in this group unfairly. Imo, he played reasonably well for us. We were just ready to not like him b/c he came to us off of a bad season with the Riders.

I'm not concerned about Wilson. I thought he played well last season, when given the chance.

It's pretty disappointing Jones couldn't beat out Hecht. Having said that, Hecht didn't look terrible when he played last year, albeit in a different role.

Coombs is still on 26. I was surprised by that. Seems like he's been around forever...

They do have a pretty good rb combo. I'm not sure who I'd rank first as a combo. I don't dislike Fajardo, but I'd take Streveler, Arbuckle, & Jennings over him. Maybe MBT, Too.

Bladek is an ol. Not really fair to judge him on his tackle totals...

I don't know about massive, but it's certainly more than I'd feel comfortable paying him, especially for that long.

Really? That sucks if you miss most of camp and get cut b/c of a cheapshot in practice.

Gaitor played sam for most of last season, and almost certainly will again this season.

From Aaron portzline #NHLJets C Jack Roslovic, a Columbus native, has fired his Columbus-based agent Ken Robinson, who has represented him for more than six years. Roslovic asked Winnipeg for a trade at least once last season, sources told The Athletic, because of a lack of role/playing time. 1/2

Mike Sawatzky‏ @sawa14 The #Bombers have released six players from their training camp roster, including: American OL Chauncey Briggs, Canadian OL Matthew Ouellet De Carlo and Ben Koczwara, American WRs Chris Hubert and Garrett Johnson and Canadian DB Payton Hall. #WFP

Why?
