It seems to me the Bombers were set on going OL not picking BPA. The rankings for OL were Duvernay-Tardiff, Foucault, Lavertu, Goosen. The top 2 are NFL players who have never played a single down in the CFL and the 3rd guy went 1st overall - leaving Goosen as the highest ranked OL available. Not quite the reach when you look at it from a team need standpoint. If you're going to mention that he was ranked 9th & 15th, then you should also mention that he was ranked 5th overall in the January rankings.

They had to celebrate their new deals somehow...

It's definitely not just a tool to get a deal for GSP but it's sure not going anywhere at this rate. Cerrone is already backing away, they didn't even tell him he would be a board member, he says he was basically just there to show support. Cerrone won't name names, but says there are people involved he won't work with (that would be Rebney - who Kennedy was publicly criticizing this week). It's got some valid points and big names involved, but way too many issues to be successful. The biggest issue for Pettis missing weight is that his fight was supposed to be for the interim title. They can still make it a 5 rounder but Pettis can't win the belt so it's kind of useless for him. Holloway can still win the belt though so will still take the fight (if the notoriously strict OAC allows it - which they should).

Press conference is at 1pm per Darren Cameron.

Senior is definitely in the range where he should either be a late round pick or gets scooped up as a free agent. NFLdraftscout.com has him ranked 22nd (as a comparison to last year, Josiah St.John was ranked 48th in a smaller draft class for OT's). Auclair will get some looks and we already know Simonise has NFL interest (whether he returns to Cincinnati or not) so that would only leave Ankou ahead of him in the current rankings & I'm not sure how much NFL interest there is in him.

December draft rankings are out. Justin Senior retains the top spot from the September rankings but changes all over the place after that. http://www.cfl.ca/2016/12/08/auclair-skyrockets-december-cfl-scouting-bureau-rankings/

That only leaves the their current assistant GM Joey Abrams, unless they interviewed someone else that nobody knows about.

Because if you're including trades, then it's not the correct order. It's only correct for the rest of the draft if you ignore the 7 other trades and one forfeit that have already happened. He was clarifying that this is the order for the draft on the whole, before trades, not just the 1st round.

So does Brandon Whittaker. Just motivation for him to be even better next year!

Could have gone in the football forum I suppose since he had a cup of coffee with the Argo's in 2004. http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/06/us/heisman-winner-nfl-rashaan-salaam-dies/index.html

Which is why he said not including trades. BC would be at #3 if trades were factored in.

Google AR15 open carry and you'll get your answer.

You may want to edit your post.... pretty sure you can get banned for that.

No tourney for us. Vancouver/Victoria will host. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-saskatoon-lose-world-juniors-bid-1.3876976

Probably the same way he reacted to the other 2 fighters associations that currently exist... with laughter. Having Bjorn Rebney (former head of Bellator) involved is scaring a lot of fighters away. His reputation is not one that is very fighter friendly (just ask Eddie Alvarez). The fact that there are now 3 competing associations just divides the fighters and makes them easy for the UFC to ignore. If they were a strong united group it might be different.

But if they already knew he wasn't coming back, why bother? It could very well be that the club wasn't sold on him but he could have been looking for a better chance to play. He was the number 4 qb here and didn't come close to seeing the field. He probably has a much better shot in Regina.

He was going to be a free agent (like all our QB's) so maybe it was apparent to the club that he wasn't going to be re-signing. Having him on the active roster would have meant one less spot for someone who was actually coming back.

Season 2 of Letterkenny coming soon!

Wish Reed would have come back to us in the 1st place back in 2014, instead of going to Hamilton. He was on our PR in 2013 but we released him so he could sign with the Dallas Cowboys.

Game would already be over if Parades doesn't miss that convert.

One upside is that it probably means someone (Toronto or Saskatchewan?) will have to over pay for his services next season.

So when attendance was terrible at the old stadium, what was the excuse then? If you look at the numbers from the late 90's, the attendance sucked worse than they do now and they didn't have to compete with the NHL either.
