  1. Sounds like he was advocating against climate change, not for it.
  2. Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the MMA thread. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7099104 BC junior player chokes out the opposing goalie with a guillotine choke. Would not be surprised if charges are laid over that one.
  3. CFL transactions page shows him being removed and re-added to the Lions roster today.
  4. Take out the podcast part and you've described most of this board. 😂
  5. 3DN reported that Yoshi is looking for a significant increase over the 166k he made last year. With Richmond waiting patiently for his shot, it makes sense that we may move on.
  6. Depends on his role I guess. Does a team want to pay north of 170k for a back-up? Kolo making 140k as a starter will not help him any, it sets a low bar for teams to use as a comparable. There are teams (western teams in Green in particular) that like to do dumb things so they could certainly give him a bad contract.
  7. They need a new image for Return of Strevy Day. Might need to make that one a bit bigger though.
  8. Bladek was also a healthy scratch for the last two-thirds of the season so I don't think 200k is realistic again this year for someone who wasn't even good enough to dress as a back-up.
  9. Wade couldn't make the announcement until he made sure he was able to get his hands on enough fur coats to start selling them at the Bomber Store. 😂
  10. FWIW, Kenny Lawler ran a 4.64 at the NFL combine. Hasn't seemed to hamper his ability as a receiver.
  11. Bombers have signed this guy, according to the CFL transactions page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keytaon_Thompson
  12. Agreed, He was also touted as the most pro-ready DL available and that's a big reason we took him. Didn't seem like that to me so I'm not sure how much room there is to grow for him.
  13. They already had their MLB replacement, just needed a new deal. He's not a Canadian though so they may have to shuffle things around for the ratio. https://3downnation.com/2024/01/29/man-in-the-middle-toronto-argonauts-re-sign-lb-jonathan-jones/
  14. The Superbowl started in 1966 but theNFL started in 1920 so there's a lot of history that pre-dates the Superbowl.
  15. https://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/39396125/vince-mcmahon-resigns-following-allegations-sexual-misconduct
  16. Some around here would say they overpaid him anyway so this is just a correction.
  17. Yup, Stefansson spent over $100k on a recruitment trip to the Philippines that landed a whopping 23 new employees. Dropping a few bucks on Forbes to make GOM seem like a good place to work, would be nothing.
  18. You should look back even further than because while they have won 15 straight, they had been heating up prior to that. They won 8 straight starting towards the end of November, including one against the Jets and one against Carolina, so they have beaten some of the teams you have mentioned. They've also lost to some of those teams like Florida.
  19. The burger has already had multiple names - it was first called the Superhero burger as a tie-in to the Batman Forever movie but it's also been the Hockey Hero burger & the Triple Double burger. I don't think McDonalds cares too much as long as it sells.
  20. At least since 2019 - he may have come off and put back on at some point but the club has been watching/waiting for a few years now. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/08/15/negotiation-list-revealed/
  21. You asked about reps, not years of experience, so that's what I showed you - a direct comparison of how many snaps they took. Besides, all of that "experience" isn't quite what you make it out to be when you look at what he did and how long he was with those teams. For example, how much experience did he gain in the 36 hours that he was signed to the Bills? The only team he actually got any game experience with was the Arizona Rattlers. I wouldn't say he got years of experience kicking around like that any more than I would say Tyrell Ford got a year of NFL experience last year. As far as his time as a starter goes, it started prior to Ottawa. Harris started 16 games with Toronto in 2015, when Ray was hurt so teams got a good look at him that year. He signed with Ottawa in 2016, and Burris had re-structed his deal so neither guy was making big money (for a starting QB) that season - they were both going to make around $250k + play time bonuses. Ottawa had structured both QB contracts in a way that it was clear Harris was the starter in 2017. Burris was going to make 200k in 2017 while Harris made 400k. Burris retired before the season so it didn't really matter in the end. https://3downnation.com/2016/11/24/henry-burris-trevor-harris/ Harris had led the league in passing TD's in 2015 with Toronto (was 3rd in passing yards too) so I guess that was enough for Ottawa to feel justified in the payout.
  22. He's done better than Arbuckle though. Harris isn't like Reilly either, he's somewhere in the middle. Brown could a Harris, Arbuckle or Reilly but time will tell (I don't like his odds in Ottawa though).
  23. Trevor Harris - first 3 seasons with Toronto: 76 passing attempts - only started one game. Dru Brown - first 3 seasons with Winnipeg: 102 passing attempts - only started 3 games.
