    I know at one point this off season, the Bengals only had 3 OL on their entire roster. I'm assuming that's likely changed, but needless to say I think Manu will get looks for a bit yet.

    The Bengals have 10 OL on their roster at the moment and just drafted 2 more.

    One of the things Manu had going for him was the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, where he didn't take up a roster spot during the off-season or when he was on the PR but he's now aged out of that. It'll be harder to justify keeping him around given his limited experience.

    as would I....I could see him as a guy who could start immediately and if it allows us to go 3 Nationals on Oline with youth like Wallace and Vibert as the backups....both young...and still young Eli ...we are set up nicely....even nicer if Manu strolls into camp next yr too

    Yeah there's a lot of talk that Manu's on the outside looking in with the Lions, especially after they took an OT with their first rounder this weekend. If it doesn't pan out there, he might catch on with another team but he could find himself up here sooner than most people expected.

    I think Pavia has too big of an ego to come to the CFL, at this point.

    This past weekend should have been a big slice of humble pie for him - first Heisman finalist since 2014 to not get drafted. He one-upped that by not even getting signed as an UDFA so it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to all this.

    A group of monkeys chained to typewriters would produce better stuff than most of the CFL.ca crew.

    Speaking of... Ferguson has his 2nd mock draft up. He took a page from Hodge and says we don't have full back so he sees us taking Boutin with our 2nd pick. Not sure why they keep ignoring MCI but given both of their track records, it won't be an issue as the Bombers aren't likely to pick him. Something to talk about at least.

    Ferguson originally had us taking Vaccaro (4), Cenacle (13) and Reese (20) - his final version has us taking Djabome (4), Gatkuoth (13) & Boutin (20).

    Hodge's first version had us going Elad (4), Jones (13) & Demontagnac (20) before switching to Denis (4), Boutin (13) & Ojutalayo (20)

    The first UFC card had a very large amount of tickets purchased by chiefs who sent folks from the reserve. I saw numerous fights in the crowd starting in the earlier prelims. It was bad. What didn't help was the lack of security and the security being older ladies with flashlights trying to break up 4 - 10 people swinging wildly.

    The funnier part was that the fights were in the better seats and the cheap bastards (like me) in the nosebleeds were cordial.

    Yeah security was also expecting a rough night this weekend (based on past events) so maybe they (security) learned their lesson and were staffed appropriately. Even with the 2 guys that got escorted out, it was peaceful - they just tried to argue with the cops for a minute about how they should stay. When that didn't work they got up and followed the cops out to the concourse on their own accord.

    While not a spectacular card I thought their were some really good matches.

    There were some good fights and I thought the crowd was really good too. Only saw two people getting escorted out of the building and if there were any fights in the crowd, I didn't see them. A far cry from the first event here - UFC staff were saying that UFC 161 (in 2013) had the most crowd fights out of any event they've ever done so they kind of expect that now.

    Gate did 1.9 million compared to the 3.15 million they did when they first came. Lottta comped tickets. But with such a lack of star power it may have been more profitable since nobody that was fighting was making big bucks.

    I'm sure the UFC is more than happy with the gate, especially since it's likely much higher than what they would have gotten in Ottawa. Ottawa has held 2 events and the gates were far lower (1.27 million in 2016 & 807k in 2019) than what they've done here.

    Yeah the low fighter payroll will help with their bottom line and so will lower commission fees (Ontario is notoriously expensive for running events). They sold a ton of merchandise too (every hockey jersey they made for the event got bought) so it was a good night for them I would think.

    I actually think tall QB’s are a little over rated running the short yardage, sometimes it’s better to run under your Line, even if you’re tall you’re not going to bulldoze your way through a 315 pound lineman, best is to go low and keep your legs moving forward.

    Dolegala did just fine and he's even taller than Elgersma. TBF, he also has heavy balls so maybe that's more important than height? 🤣

    Riders having an inkling? Good one. This was an investigation launched months ago. They had more than enough time to read the tea leaves, and dont think for one second that the Riders released him willingly. They are an organization that must be forced to do the right thing.

    As much as it pains me to defend the Riders, they were the ones who brought the issue to the league so they did the right thing. They also confirmed that he won't be resigned when his suspension is up - if they were douchebags like Montreal or Toronto, they would gladly take him back.
