Small miracles I guess,no challenge.

Nichols just rocked himself running into his own teammate. Fml

Wtf kind of tackle was that?

The previous GDT's were all created by the same poster so is it a coincidence that we lost all those games?

I want to see more of this and less of this

He's been fighting for at least 5 years out in BC. Watched his last fight on UFC Fight Pass and it won KO of the night... Too bad for him he was on the wrong end of the KO! 100% sure there are a few people on this board that could take that fight!

And losing to Ottawa is reserved for bottom-feeding teams. It will tell us a lot about where we stand.

Must be someone else, Brown was released so he could sign with the Bills. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/brown-bolts-bombers-for-bills-1.379225

That Antonio Brown did not make the pro bowl for any team. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Brown_(wide_receiver,_born_1978)

Yep, that was one of his sayings.

Ritchie is exactly who this being overly loyal to vets reminds me of. Loved the guy as a person and a coach but it bit him and the club in the ass.

I'm hoping that MOS acknowledging that he over-estimated their readiness is a sign he might be open to being wrong about other things and they can correct them before it's too late.

If I had to guess, I'd say Ryan Rigmaiden was responsible for that. He was the Lions main US scout in 2015 when Sheed signed with them. He was working for us when we signed him in 2019 so Rigmaiden may have kept tabs on him.

Westerman was being recruited by every single team in the CFL after he spent 6 years in the NFL - no scouting was required. He chose to come here which falls more on management and what they pitched him. https://www.cfl.ca/2015/05/07/blue-bombers-bring-dl-westerman-to-winnipeg/ Bailey was briefly on BC's PR back in 2015. The Lions released him so he could sign with Jacksonville. https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2015/10/20/9576543/jaguars-eagles-receiver-rasheed-bailey-practice-squad

I don't disagree in general but a couple of those guys were already known players (Westerman) or had already been signed elsewhere previously (Bailey) so I wouldn't consider those major scouting coups. BA is also listed twice but otherwise, yeah they've done a pretty good job, especially on the defensive side of things.

Schoen

The more he plays & proves himself, the bigger that pay day can be though. Brown didn't get as many opportunities as he would have like & his lower-end starting QB salary reflects that. He's still an unproven commodity outside the Bombers system and Dukes might have that same issue. Unless his agent did something dumb & locked him into something longer than a standard contract, he should be scheduled for FA after this season.

Yeah in 2014, Moore definitely was the top WR in 2014 - he could have gone anywhere (if he didn't get an NFL look) but chose to come Here. Bryant came in 2015 where he (arguably) wasn't the best OL available until Ben Heenan & Brett Jones both signed NFL deals.

That bucket would go untouched in the Riders locker room.

2-2 on field goals but also missed a convert. Castillo also mentioned his average in practice is way down too so the game is just one example. If 10 of 11 kickers in the league voted against it, they aren't doing just because. I'd like to know who the one kicker was though.

You would think they would have learned from GC that trotting out banged up players is not a great idea. And if that's the case, why would you risk further injury on the opening game of the season? Losing Demski or Brady for an extended period because they felt like they could play a bit banged up would be a terrible roster management choice.

It's possible. I have no idea what size/weight the CFL chip is but at least for the USFL ones, there were reports that it was also affecting their QB's. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2022/04/26/Technology/usfl-abandons-sensors-in-kicking-balls.aspx

No they didn't. The NFL has been using microchips in their balls since about 2017 - the difference is the size of the chip. The NFL chip is about the size of a thumbnail while the USFL chip (and presumably the CFL too if it's causing this issue) is about the size of a golf ball. AFAIK, the data collected isn't really kicking related so a simple solution might be to have a separate set of regular balls for kicking plays & save the chipped ones for everything else.

Here I thought it was PAS not POS. What a turd of a game.
