Game day!

Yep, people thought Sochi was going to be a gong-show as well (and it did have it's moments) but this one looks like it's on a whole different level. The Russian athletes might have lucked out by getting banned for this one!

That's assuming that he does a full camp like a real fighter would. Wouldn't be surprised if they eased up on the intensity, just so Punk could make it to fight day, given his history of injuries. If/when he does fight, he'll be a one fight wonder... too old, too beat-up, too raw.

Darren Cameron says Hurl and JFG are both options if Harris can't go so I guess Hurl isn't that banged up.

Vitt didn't get a chance because he was hurt. If he's healthy now, then yes, he could have been an option I suppose. Either way, unless they see Haidara surpassing either of the guys ahead of him, he might not be a long term addition to the team.

Not really. Richards is on the 6 game so there were only 3 Nat receivers available before this move . We have Kohlert starting and potentially JFG so unless you want Bastien backing up both guys, it's a move that had to be made.

It might be a signing of necessity rather than them seeing something in Haidara. If they are thinking about starting JFG (due to Harris pulling up lame yesterday), then that only leaves Bastien to back-up both Kohlert & JFG.

Penton was the one who jumped the gun on Richardson, not Bauming. FWIW, Harris says he's fine.

Or we can just assume they both meant TJ Harris and put a strike up next to their names.

Also not having 2 childhood buddies as your bosses will change things as well. They backed him on everything, right or wrong, so it's going to be interesting to see how much rope the new ownership will give him.

Dillon Guy was BC's property according to that code too but Saskatchewan still grabbed him.

Duron Carter

Pretty much. I don't see any reason for people other than Dana to go unless the new owners really want to put their stamp on things. It's said that both groups are leaving that stuff as is.

Surprisingly at least one of the groups bidding want to keep Dana as the figurehead. They are reportedly even willing to give him a percentage of the company rather than jus to have him as an employee.

Hardrick was at LG in practice today.

Adams got hurt early in camp (maybe in rookie camp?) and was released. They kept him around until he was good to go again. I know they like his size (6'3, 205) but I don't recall if played in either game either.

No PR for Daniels. There is an open spot still though.

Good post. Sorry for your loss Ripper.

Signed with them a few weeks after we released him. We let him go due to "off-field issues", iirc.

He did but he has since backed off those comments. Now he basically says a small rural hospital in either country could have had the issues he encountered and it's not necessarily a reflection of the Canadian health care system.
