According to Tait's latest quick hits article, Wade is having a good camp at LB. There's a little bit on him in there "LB Barrington Wade continues to open eyes during camp, especially with his speed, his length and his quick study of the Canadian game." https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/05/19/quick-hits-training-camp-day-6-2/?utm_source=dlvr.it

Yep, not sure why Bauming added that part in since this applies to: All CFL fans in the USA. All CFL fans in Canada who care to watch non-televised preseason games online.

CFL Week and Bauming already said no to that. One tweet I saw was guessing a Docu-Series. The Argos & Ticats already had something similar (Rivalries: The QEW Series) so I'd be interested in more of that, especially if the next one focused on the Bombers.

Yep. He also only played 11 games up here... missed a bunch of games due to a broken arm & heel injury (non-football related).

I mean they've already announced we're getting the GC in 2025 so what other "big" news could there be that will excite us specifically? The return of CFL week starting in Winnipeg next off-season? I'm already expecting to be underwhelmed.

Based on their performance last year, I'd say that already happened.

Unless that's exactly what the club wants him to be doing. It's not like he's a beat reporter who was assigned to cover the club anymore -those days are over for him.

Just speculation on my part but adding him to the suspended list would be one way to get under the roster limit and lets the club use his spot to look at someone else. Just a paper move, IMO, since he's here with the club and just not practicing. https://3downnation.com/2023/05/17/winnipeg-blue-bombers-suspend-returner-janarion-grant-release-11/

It's not a 100% guarantee they wouldn't get any info. Like the media was told about the QB they released so he could go home to take care of some personal stuff but was expected back. Grant was just placed on the suspended list today so we'll see if they give any info or not.

If the ownership situation had been settled by then, I'd bet a lot of players (like Eugene Lewis) would have stuck around.

While there is some merit to that, the lack of reporting isn't entirely due to not getting anything from MOS. You can see the media guys actively ignore practice and then have nothing to write about so they aren't doing themselves any favours.

He was released earlier this week but it was reported he just had to go home to take care of something and was expected back. Lots of paper moves this time of year, hopefully Grant is one of those too.

Not looking good for the Ice, giving up three goals in 45 seconds. Jets have to be liking how Lambert has been playing though.

830-11:50.

I caught the last little bit of camp yesterday and noticed him not participating in the drills. He was wearing a jersey (unlike the other guys who were sitting out) but he didn't have a helmet with him so I had been wondering if he got banged up.

He'd have to prove his intelligence has increased over the past 18 months for me to want him here! 😂 https://3downnation.com/2021/11/05/patrick-levels-thinks-montreal-is-a-better-team-than-winnipeg/

They scored 7 touchdowns off fumble recoveries and pick sixes alone, so that's where the big difference is (we only had 2). While I myself wouldn't say they struggled outside of Carey, they certainly didn't light it up through the air either. They finished with 144 points from passing plays (tied with Montreal for 4th place). That left them a whopping 120 points behind Winnipeg's 264 in that category.

You sure about that?

Checked out game two tonight. Seattle with the 4-2 win but it was a good game and another decent crowd. Brad Lambert looked pretty good and had a couple goals.

Ice take game 1 tonight. Announced crowd of 5.5k, well up from their regular season average of 1.6k.

Yep, these are my kind of games, the ones with the great stories. Haven't touched GOW (yet) but can vouch for the rest of em!
