BA and the rest of the squad to Busted Rhymes:

Haven't seen this anywhere else but apparently Rhymes tried to go after BA post-game according to 3DN. "Unfortunately, the press box conversation after the game was that Rhymes felt well enough to cross the hallway to the Bombers’ locker room and attempt a confrontation with the safety — the second time the Lions have been accused of that type of behaviour this year." https://3downnation.com/2022/10/16/lions-show-that-its-dangerous-to-terry-and-eight-other-thoughts-on-b-c-beating-the-bombers/

It's also a FU to the other Dickie. I approve of both.

Not this time it would appear. The last permit was for signage on the north, south and west sides of the building and the earlier one mentions the drive through so it has to be it's own building. 5 guys only started doing drive throughs in 2020 so it's definitely a newer thing for them.

Assuming the address is 870 Leila, two permits for 5 Guys have gone out in the last couple months. https://ppdportal.winnipeg.ca/Permits/PropertyPermitSearch/Proc.jsp?streetNumber=870&streetName=Leila&streetType=AVE

He got his bonus money early when he was moved to the active roster. He contributed just as much as a PR player but got paid better.

Could be the team was planning on moving him back to the PR (since he wasn't doing anything on the active roster) and he didn't want to accept that.

If they can do a longevity recognition type win for Van Zyl, they should do it for Yoshi.

He's also under contract with us for 2023 so he's not going anywhere.

Churchill has only really been mentioned when he left the team for a bit earlier this year (for family reasons iirc). He's back with the team but both guys are on the PR.

Was just about to post this. Kinda evens Toronto out for the Ricky Ray "trade".

The riders "upswing":

Just a bit off on your dates but not as bad as this guy who may have shown up to an empty IGF tonight... 😂

I would be pleasantly surprised if it's open for Nov 11th. It's still very bare inside and according to the Free Press article from a couple days ago that time frame is not a sure thing. "There isn’t yet a date for Cineplex Junxion’s opening, though planners are eyeing early to mid-November."

This. The 1st two Rider punts of the game were 50 & 59 yards while the last 2 were only 33 yards ( the helmet punt) and 35 yards (the fumble). That's a huge difference so yeah he's going to be deep on those ones.

After the incident between Toronto & Hamilton last year, the CFL has clearly addressed what players can and can't do. Climbing stairs or jumping on railings is fine but entering fan seating areas is not.

Jones does like to think he's smarter than everyone else so (like Pinball tried with Collaros), he might think he could get him back in a couple months. Is falling in love with winning more of a risk than being tired of losing? That team is a tire fire - Ceresna (and every other L'k player) should be weighing their options when they hit FA.

Looks like he's a free agent at the end of the year so I don't think he's untouchable at all. The latest insider talk article on 3Dnation speculated that Lawler's latest injury killed any trade deadline buzz so if he was going to be up for grabs, then Ceresna has to be too I would think?

3d says they also released Kelvin McKnight. https://3downnation.com/2022/10/04/winnipeg-blue-bombers-add-canadian-offensive-lineman-jakub-szott-to-practice-roster/

Looks like Desmond Lawrence is being brought in (at least according to Brian Walker):

With all due respect to @EdTait, Rob Vanstone may be my new favorite CFL reporter. That article was an absolute delight to read. 😂

I think the timing is great. Fajardo is probably in full meltdown mode over the thought of BLM potentially going there (either this season or next) and taking his job. 😂
