John Scott is over-rated. He's huge and uses that to his advantage very well but he's not a great fighter. At the end of the 2013-14 season, he got tuned by a rookie in his 1st (regular season) fight. https://youtu.be/ao8qZ3huAdk The overall best fighter is hard to gauge these days since the enforcers either don't play much or get the chance to go against each other. Deryk Engelland dominated most of his fights in 2014-15 and Brian McGrattan was the man in 2013-14 but barely played last year. Peluso is definitely top 5 (imo) though.

It's up to the CFL to announce the show and it's not unusual for them to wait this long. Last's years was announced on Oct 2nd... 2012 wasn't announced until Oct 26 and that was for the big 100th anniversary too. Saskatchewan's was announced pretty early (Sep 2nd) in 2013 though.

Penton says 4 import receivers this week & Bastien is out with Cone coming on.

Did they back out though? Lawless tweeted that Muamba's agent called a few teams to tell them they were out of the running. He didn't mention any team names specifically, just that it was down to Edmonton, Ottawa & Montreal.

hmmm...did not see that coming. He's had a solid camp, by all accounts, and the Oilers are thin on the blue line. If this was the previous regime, I would say it is just another f*ck up but I have much more faith these days. I'm guessing it's to get him as much ice time as possible.

100k bonus & 10k per game this year according to lawless. 200k each of the next 2 seasons.

Tweets going out that he's about to sign a cfl deal. Bombers are out of the running according to Lawless (he's guessing Henoc ends up in Edmonton).

**double posted the above tweet** But on a related note.

Yep, you're right. It was written on Monday but I saw it re-tweeted Tuesday so I assumed the workout was this week or they would have said he has a workout "today" rather than Tuesday.

Since its been brought up...Did Muamba ever make his way to Winnipeg? No mention of him anywhere He has a workout with Green Bay tomorrow so I assume the CFL is on hold. I don't recall there being a report that it's with the Packers. He's already had a try-out with them: Aaron WilsonVerified account ‏@AaronWilson_NFL Sep 23 Packers tried out Blake Anne, Justin Hamilton, Henoc Muamba, Josh Shirley http://www.sportsnet.ca/football/nfl/canadian-linebacker-muamba-to-work-out-for-packers/

Maybe he's just as confused about the roster management we employ and asked for his release?

Both Adams and Moore both threw their arms up like WTF? and were talking to the ref but he obviously wasn't interested in what they had to say.

Joe Burnett is out for the year with a broken ankle & ligament damage. Very costly game for the Stamps.

I'll stop you right there (not that the rest of your post doesn't have merit & valid points). You can go to non-Bomber CFL boards and find the same criticism of Black. It's definitely not just a MBB thing. Google the Rod Black drinking game and the 1st results are from the RF board.

Possibly but he's still the boss so it falls on him. He gets the credit for the good and the blame for the bad that happens under his watch.

They need to stop recruiting guys from Subway...

23k and change was announced.

True but is the implication the mother orchestrated a shake down? Im not sure she had the time. I don't believe she had the time at that point, but maybe it got the wheels turning. The whole paper bag thing has me thinking she's got her own agenda going on and sees dollar signs. Maybe once the tests showed no Kane DNA, she saw the payday slipping away so she decided to do something. Even if that theory isn't correct, what she was trying to accomplish with the paper bag is a complete mystery. The more stuff comes out, the more I believe the girl's lawyer was on the right track when he quit... believe the girl but don't trust the mom.

Makes sense... the owner did state that he wasn't sure if it was the same girl but he just kind of assumed it was based on what he saw at the bar.

I just don't want to feel like this anymore on gamedays...

The part about Kane approaching her caught my eye because I remembered this from when the story 1st broke:

You're right, the mother is tainted, and that's the potential problem I see with the timeline. It says she went to her mother's house not her own (she may live there too though so who knows if it's just poor wording) and anything to do with the mother now has to be scrutinized.

Veltung is on the 6 game IR so that probably won't happen.
