Seems like the top 7 may have the NFL in their near future... how long they'll stick down there is anyone's guess though.

Taylor says he's good to go but we've heard that before (Mercy Maston comes to mind) so time will tell. They must have a weird definition of "going strong" in Edmonton. I don't know how you can look at his age and that injury and not have questions.

Nick Taylor off to the Stamps. https://www.stampeders.com/2023/04/21/stamps-sign-veteran-db/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Seems not paying him is a potential loophole:

And how!

Well to keep the TIL going, he actually came in playing D-Line. Edmonton switched him to FB in 1997 (he split time between offense & defense that year) before he went to the NFL in 98.

Back in 1995, Mike Sellers got signed by Edmonton at 19, making him the youngest import in CFL history.

Harper's speech said nothing about apologizing on behalf of the Conservative Party, he apologized on behalf of the Canadian Government. https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1100100015644/1571589171655

Getting attention from a perennial powerhouse like Alabama isn't something you see every day so I'm very interested in where this goes. BC & Edmonton were also in the mix to get him as a territorial recruit it seems: https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/2023/01/12/winnipeg-receiver-turning-heads https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/special/sports-editors-picks/2022/01/24/his-ceiling-is-through-the-roof

Who said stop chirping? It's just not very effective when your team isn't exactly the model franchise for success and only got into the playoffs by the skin of their teeth.

Jets fans talking s**t to Oilers fans is like Rider fans trying to compare Grey Cups wins with the Bombers.

Or they are just allowing more fake accounts. There's a lot of complaints about the bots so there are a lot of posts like this all over twitter lately:

Par for the course down there: The errand that nearly cost Ralph Yarl his life was of the sort that falls to older brothers everywhere. Ralph, a Black 16-year-old in Kansas City, Mo., had been sent to pick up his younger twin brothers at a friend’s house on Thursday evening, his family said. But he mixed up the address, finding himself in front of a house on Northeast 115 Street, instead of Northeast 115th Terrace. The white man who answered the door there shot him in the head and again in the arm after he fell, according to prosecutors. Somehow, Ralph made his way, bleeding, to another nearby house. There, he was told to lie on the ground while someone called for help, his family said. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/17/us/ralph-yarl-kansas-city-shooting.html

Those were last week's signings (April 6th). Today we added: https://tulsahurricane.com/sports/football/roster/chris-ivy-jr-/8018 https://gsutigers.com/sports/football/roster/marc-orozco/3970

I wonder if we look at this kid from Brandon in the draft. He didn't make the top 20 draft rankings but he had a pretty good combine. Still has some work to do from the sounds of it but it might be a good pipeline pick and him wanting to be here is not a bad thing either! https://3downnation.com/2023/04/17/2023-cfl-draft-profiles-saskatchewans-dayton-black-transitioned-from-record-setting-qb-to-top-ol-prospect/

And for that reason, I sincerely hope they have an exceedingly long run in Saskatchewan.

I'm in Radisson and the NDP candidate has already knocked on my door. They are starting early over here.

I would not put it past any political party to do this, especially one desperate to remain in power. Audrey Gordon is also trying to get in on the act and just like with Obby, there is no evidence to back up the claim: https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2023/04/13/tory-sport-minister-accuses-ndp-leader-of-swearing-shoving

Check the article again. Walters isn't saying anything about his talent being too good to pass on, he's just saying that IF it came down to MOSJ and someone very similar, it'd be hard to overlook the personal connection.

If this happened at an event full of people, you would think it would be fairly easy to confirm if there was a physical incident or not.

Osh has said it wouldn't be his choice to have his kid here and feels it would be unfair to everyone. Kyle, however, says it would be hard not to take him in the draft if it was a toss-up between him & another player. https://3downnation.com/2023/04/04/mike-oshea-proud-of-sons-cfl-draft-eligibility-but-believes-him-joining-blue-bombers-wouldnt-be-fair/

What's the point of doing a detailed mock draft when those details are wrong? I'm not convinced that he actually watches games other than the ones he works. Last year Ferguson said that the Riders weren't desperate for help on the o-line - anyone with a pair of eyes could see that was way off. Hodge isn't much better... he had us taking an OL early because it filled a "need" for us. Not sure where he saw the need but the team obviously didn't feel the same way since they took a grand total of zero OL last year. I do enjoy reading the mock drafts but they hold next to no value.
