    Orton back after 18 months & Punk stole the show. Maybe Punk coming back a PPV later would have been the right call?

    Survivor Series was in Punk's hometown so that was the best place for him to return, plus the longer they waited, the more likely the news would have leaked.  If they were going to hold off on a return, Orton would have been the one to wait.

    How am I here posting Walter’s two year extension before  anyone else. Does no one listen to radio anymore?

    Thread title: 2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News.

    Lots of talk about it in this and other threads.

    No, check out Farhan Lalji & Dave Naylor's discussion on TSN during GC week. It isn't pretty & not all 3 will be back. In the meantime, work to sign veteran free agents has already started with other CFL teams but not us. There's no one there who can do the work, according to Naylor & Lalji. So. I didn't make it up. The info comes from TSN.

    And having to answer to no one for that decision. 

    If Osh is the GM & Head Coach then yes. Look at the other teams in the CFL who have dual positions like Calgary & Edmonton. We can only hope that media stories yesterday pf everyone coming back is true. 

     

    So when Lalji and Naylor (of all people) say it, you take as gospel but when other, more locally in touch media report on it, you take a wait and see approach?   

  4. I have no doubt we were banged up at receiver but we had guys we could have used instead.  Did BOLO even see the field?  Ambles was brought in for this exact scenario and wasn't dressed.  Grant started the game at receiver but I didn't notice him there after that.  The options were there and we chose not to use them.  

    The decision to let these all these guys play in their condition was a failure of the coaching staff and the players themselves.

    does anyone know what the '24 draft class looks like? I know last year was pretty shallow... is this one supposed to be better? 

    I believe so.  A bunch of highly rated prospects deferred their draft year to this year, iirc.

    Some sites will create a link that the site doesn't recognize or like,   with the button in the bottom right corner it will notify you that the link isn't valid.   

    Yup, I always open the image itself in a new tab so I can copy that info rather than user a site-generated link. 

    Some files aren't actually GIFs either, they could be webp files or some other animated image, and that can also be an issue for the site.  I try to stick to images in actual gif format.

  7. I post gifs from an android phone all the time - Samsung or Pixel but you don't have to use that box.  Just paste the link in the with the rest of your text.

    I have noticed is that sometimes when I paste the link, I have to hit enter (like to create a new paragraph) or the page won't recognize the text as a link. A little message will pop up saying your link has automatically been embedded and the gif will show up.

    He has said many many many times this year that it is. From the start of the season it was announced its his final season as he's going to manage and coach the junior team in Nanaimo that he used to play for. And then Kristina Costible asked him again this week just to confirm and he said, yet again, that he's done. And then he posted on his social media a picture of hanging up his cleats. He is very much done.

    I'm not ready to close the books on his career just yet.  Can't find the quote but this week he said he was definitely done in Toronto and was hoping to wrap up his career with another grey cup.  The way he phrased it made me wonder if he wasn't leaving the door open for a team (BC probably) to bring him in next year.

    The way BC employs the run game, it might actually be a good fit.  Minimal wear and tear on a running back in that offence.
