I am very well versed in this particular diet...

Just put him on the FatBoi diet and he'll be tiptoeing up to the play in no time! Yeah i think they just enter the height/weight for Williams twice (both listed as 6'1, 190). Most places have him listed at 6 or 6'1 and around 255.

Seems like he's getting plenty of playing time in Ottawa so I wouldn't be surprised if he stays, given that there isn't a starting role up for grabs anywhere else - at least not at this point.

It was mentioned here that he was hurt but he played in every game for Ottawa prior to the trade. Haven't seen any indication anywhere else that he is/was hurt. He didn't feel like he was a good fit for their defensive scheme so maybe he asked to be moved? https://3downnation.com/2025/09/30/calgary-stampeders-dl-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-sad-to-leave-redblacks-but-wasnt-the-player-for-their-scheme/

So new commish but same old CFL when it comes to some things. They weren't happy about the GC halftime show being announced in 2023 until late September so they committed to earlier announcements. A year later, here we are in early October and crickets. Too busy trying to Americanized the game I guess. https://3downnation.com/2024/06/05/cfl-committed-to-earlier-announcements-for-grey-cup-halftime-show/

Not exclusively - there's enough hate to go around!

We've also signed a few guys to futures contracts over the last few days, https://www.bgmsportstrax.com/2025/09/30/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-wide-receiver-tyrone-t-j-davis-to-a-future-contract/ Winnipeg Blue Bombers sign wide receiver Kenneth Womack to a future contract – BGMSportsTrax Meet 2025 Draft Prospect Zovon Lindsay, OL, Coastal Carolina

FWIW, Google AI says we used our expansion window in August when we added guys like Moore, Houston & Echols.

I didn't not have Dillon Mitchell being more impactful than Bo Levi Mitchell ony bingo card for this game.

Low bar! I want three TD's to himself!

Doesn't this assume the officiating crew can promptly get the ball placed quickly? That delay/inconsistency was the reason given for the change but unless I'm missing something, that can still be an issue (except now the clock is automatically running).

He acknowledged that some of the changes had been brought up with the rules committee in the past but yeah not a whole lot of consultation was done (if any). I'd like to be a fly on the wall for the next meeting between MOS & Wade since they seem to be very opposed on this issue.

Had to laugh at Wade's comments. Coaches are going to have to be more aggressive eh? It's very ironic coming off an 8 pass game and running a team that routinely trots out their kicker for long range FG's. Like he does he watch the Bombers?

Maybe a bird flies in and gets nailed.... it's happened in other sports!

Play clock moving to 35 seconds. No more same sideline benches. Rouge stays but modified - only a point for taking a knee or failing to return the ball out of the endzone. Sailing the ball through is not rewarded.

Goalposts being moved back - Fajardo rejoices. Endzones to be standardized but field is going to 100 yards - same width,
