Churchill has only really been mentioned when he left the team for a bit earlier this year (for family reasons iirc). He's back with the team but both guys are on the PR.

Was just about to post this. Kinda evens Toronto out for the Ricky Ray "trade".

The riders "upswing":

Just a bit off on your dates but not as bad as this guy who may have shown up to an empty IGF tonight... 😂

I would be pleasantly surprised if it's open for Nov 11th. It's still very bare inside and according to the Free Press article from a couple days ago that time frame is not a sure thing. "There isn’t yet a date for Cineplex Junxion’s opening, though planners are eyeing early to mid-November."

This. The 1st two Rider punts of the game were 50 & 59 yards while the last 2 were only 33 yards ( the helmet punt) and 35 yards (the fumble). That's a huge difference so yeah he's going to be deep on those ones.

After the incident between Toronto & Hamilton last year, the CFL has clearly addressed what players can and can't do. Climbing stairs or jumping on railings is fine but entering fan seating areas is not.

Jones does like to think he's smarter than everyone else so (like Pinball tried with Collaros), he might think he could get him back in a couple months. Is falling in love with winning more of a risk than being tired of losing? That team is a tire fire - Ceresna (and every other L'k player) should be weighing their options when they hit FA.

Looks like he's a free agent at the end of the year so I don't think he's untouchable at all. The latest insider talk article on 3Dnation speculated that Lawler's latest injury killed any trade deadline buzz so if he was going to be up for grabs, then Ceresna has to be too I would think?

3d says they also released Kelvin McKnight. https://3downnation.com/2022/10/04/winnipeg-blue-bombers-add-canadian-offensive-lineman-jakub-szott-to-practice-roster/

Looks like Desmond Lawrence is being brought in (at least according to Brian Walker):

With all due respect to @EdTait, Rob Vanstone may be my new favorite CFL reporter. That article was an absolute delight to read. 😂

I think the timing is great. Fajardo is probably in full meltdown mode over the thought of BLM potentially going there (either this season or next) and taking his job. 😂

100%... Bell owns both and does not give a s**t about either one.

It's 100% a TSN issue. The issue being that their streaming service is terrible. It's not just the app either because I've run into the same issue using their website on my laptop. You can go on twitter pretty much any day of the week to find people across the country complaining about the same thing. It's very hit and miss. Somedays, there are zero problems, other days you wonder why you pay for this "service".

Easy to miss. He wasn't really mentioned aside from the original post (a bit surprising given that we can really use some help in the middle of the d-line).

Not this article specifically but the signing was mentioned in the roster moves thread on Tuesday (along with two other players).

2nd season. He was featured prominently that season.

On the field, after the game. The Lions then tried to go after Judge in the Stamps locker room. That didn't work so they waited in the parking lot for them, BC should definitely get some fines for their actions - not sure punishment could go much further for what ended up being a bunch of yelling on their end of things.

The fact that it happened after the game should also be a factor in the punishment, IMO. During the game, in the heat of the moment is one thing, but biding your time and waiting until the game is done and his helmet is off? One game is not enough.

Haven't seen the punch itself but it must have been a good one, based on how Lucky was stumbling around after being helped up in this video (just after the 45 second mark): https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/~2524160

Would not be surprised. Ranthony was in camp with us last year so the team was already familiar with him.

Sounds like he was.
